Ohhh okay thanks for letting me know. Yeah I've seen them jump way up in price too quick then. Yep just looked it up, $300+ at various sites but you're correct a lot of sites had it for around the 18,000 yen mark for pre-order. Well I just want the yellow Focker variant anyway hopefully they release that one. The red one indeed looks nice but I'm more partial to the VF-1A model for that color scheme in the movie.
-
I skipped on the 1s because it is overpriced, it doesn't come with missiles or fastpack armor set and costs almost 2x as much as the vf-1a. Odd that bandai is price gouging like that. It's just a different color valk with a different robot head. If I'm mistaken on any of the above please correct me but that's how I see it.
-
Well I believe everything F360 says he's been on this forum for a long time, I've seen his posts. Seems like a knowledgeable person. I'm willing to hold out that long and wait. I ordered the fast pack armor, hopefully it fits on the VF-1A. Though I know that TV model probably didn't have them and especially not strike packs, but I'll be putting the strike pack on mine anyway heh. At least, until they release a Focker vf-1s.
-
Ohhh okay I haven't transformed mine yet, thanks for pointing that out. Awesome. also thanks for the tip about the missile set, I will have to keep an eye out for that.
-
The hands are not articulated, they are molded in place. It appeared in photos like the ones that came with the vf-1j are articulated but I can be wrong though, as I don't own one to check. edit: corrected in below post by F360.
-
Hm I noticed that this VF-1A does not have articulated hands, whereas the VF-1J appears to have articulated hands. I guess the VF-1J is a limited more premium model than this one. Still need to get my hands on a VF-1J Hikaru. Also I noticed that the missile set, though separate, came out at what 4,400 yen or something now it's like over 10,000 yen.

Alright well I was sick for the past several days and in the meantime got my 2nd vf-1a. Going to open one up right now. The other one I'm keeping safe in the Amazon shipper sealed in their plastic wrap. Ok so opened it up. Very nice model. I'm pretty impressed that it came with a stand too, did not know that. I just lowered the landing gear, going to have it in fighter plane mode for a while because I haven't seen this variation of color on a premium valkyrie yet before. Pretty nice.
-
Nice. Do you have any plans on buying more than 2 of any future releases for diorama or etc? Or customs? Also any plans for panel lines on that VF-1J? looks awesome with panel lines imo.
-
Hi Mr. sh9000, just curious how many vf-1a max and vf-1j hikaru do you have in your collection? I just bought my second max was 199 plus shipping (sold a free item on ebay for 79 yesterday so that money went toward my second 1/48 purchase )
-
I watched some Xabungle it is semi-decent, not too bad. The toys are neat.
-
I hope you all get the ones you want really. It's a great hobby.
-
Any date for this pre-order of VF-1J Strike Valkyrie?
-
Hopefully it won't be difficult to PO but it is a Focker so it could very well be. Now I just need to figure out how many I want, at least one or two. Definitely worth opening and putting on display.
-
Was wondering where I could buy that. Thank you.
-
If that's true, that they are re-releasing the VF-1S Roy Fokker Strike, I'll definitely buy it. Thank god for reissues, too. Makes things a bit easier.
-
I checked this out, overpriced since it doesn't come with the strike pack which is separate. I'll still pass. Not my favorite valk.
-
Umm my original question was where to buy, not whether or not someone else found a deal and can't share the deal with others. As far as pestering goes, who said I was in this to try to annoy someone on facebook? you?
-
I'm so glad I didn't buy any 1/48 Yamato after seeing these Bandai quality is second to none.
-
ok so how to find this source on facebook? I looked and don't see it
-
Yup hmm no idea how I missed that it ever even came out. At least I got max though that one is the most unique so far.
-
any site with a good price on those? I was looking earlier today but looked like 350+ dollars
-
When is that Japan toy show coming up, the 25th of October? I forget. Will probably have to sift through this thread to find
-
I got my Max in the mail today from amazon japan. expensive sucker, not sure if it is worth it but I just went for it anyway. no announcement on a roy strike? I'm still not feeling it for the movie strike, gotta be a fokker or at least a hikaru yellow and black imho.
-
heh that's the thing I want to keep mine sealed when I get it, but I also want to look at it. so I guess I have to open mine :O
-
Ohhh whoops
