Oh my, that 000 armor, damn I am so happy I got it on preorder!!!  Thanks Saburo for the pics, I think this will work well with my vf1j indeed.

And happy we can use normal missiles on the Arms, not just from the fp, that means all my vales can have missiles now, and sleeker ones.

@Saburo  Is it possible to not have those 3 missiles on each side of the hip.  IE, all other armor except that?

For example, imagine a Messer with the 000 without those missiles.  That way, no red in the armor at all, all White / Black / Grey.  Anyways, just a thought that came into my mind for attempt when i get my armors. 

Actually, maybe what i really need as a third armor is the 011 for the VF-1 Hikaru,, lol.  But then, i am left with a pair of FPs unused, lol.

The reason i wanted to wait before getting the third armor is because i have the VF-2SS that is going at center (Leader), so i wanted two big armored on each side, and not sure the 3rd armored would make sense in this case.  It is possible the 011 Armor would go better for the VF-1J, but... i just want that 000 armor, looks so clean.

Now, it may be that 011 Armor for VF-01J and Armor 001 for VF-01S Messer would be the ultimate selection, but again, i would be missing out on the 000...  Damn, maybe i just need to get that third amour and leave it on the bay if i dont use it, lol.

update, I tried to mount the armor on the HMR Elint Seeker, everything fits except for the chest piece due to the larger canopy armor/heatshield

Hey Saburo, FEXT Hobby already told me the Armor wouldnt work on the Elint chest area, but did the part armor without the chest look sort of good anyways?

Your group photo sure has me pondering on getting a third armor, that is for sure, lol.  Just i would prefer getting it after receiving the first two to be sure.  Hopefully, stock remains, i may need the 011 or the 101

@Saburo

Can you take pics of the 000 armor using VF-1J and VF-1A Hikaru?  I wanna see how well those two fair with that armor.

Also, any chance you have the VF-1S Messer and can take a pic like you did already with the 001 armor (folk),

That is my current setup i am thinking to try.  Thanks

Also, fexthobby has an incredibly good support on Facebook and email too.  I am very happy to support this company, and even considering a third armour or their owl 2.

FEXT sent me OWL One Armors to review and photograph.
I'll start a separate thread for the Armor Photos/Review and to answer any questions from my fellow MWF members.

For now, I'll leave this here.

 

 

Did they send you only the 001, or did you get the 000 as well?

Yeah the HM Super Parts came with stickers.  I have 11 sets and extra stickers.    Who needs some?

Would like to get one, if possible.  Let me pm you.

Some were included on the sticker sheet for the Hi Metal VF-1 super parts set. It had black, red, blue, and green for the DYRL squad. There may be other options as well.

Glad to see that custom squad decals are included with these. I'm really looking forward to getting my sets.

I have the VF-1a that comes with super parts, but dont remember if there are extra stickers with it or not.  Dont have the solo super parts unfortunately.

Aw, just for me? Thanks!

pretty cool although I might go for some Skull squad decals myself. 

Where can i get a skull squad decal?  Would sure like to add one to my VF-2SS and for the 001 Armor i am getting, maybe even the 000 armor too.

Just waiting on the Red Bike (Fuke) to release, hopefully i dont miss out on preorders when that comes, as i dont follow news as much as i'd like.  Aint gonna bother with the other bikes at ~200$/piece.  I guess i will use my Megahouse bikes to give her company... or not, i have plenty of Figma figures to display her with.

I just hope it doesnt get canceled like the Megahouse and the larger one did at the end, which sucked so bad for me.

Oh, and really hope all qc issues fixed on this mold by then, and engineering too if small refinements can be made, so that the huge money spent on this 6" figure will be less painful to swallow...

I have on order the Folk yellow one and the 000 all white version.  That said, i have seen the armours in person at TFCon back on July 14th, and man, they are so nice, was making me second guess if i should get more, like the brown one was very nice too in person (too bad i dont have the valk for it).

I must admit that look wise, my HMR VF-2SS is the best looking in batroid mode (with or without fps), so sleek, makes me keep wanting to look at it.  It weighs so much too.

In the end, i am really happy i made this purchase.

It is making me want to double dip other colors maybe... damn it is sooo good looking!!!

HMR YF-19 (new mold) please? YF-21 as well.

Yes, but the vf-11 too, both grey color, and also the white one from macross 7 and gambling, then move right into some macross 0, the sv energy jet and vf0s/a + armour/fp and two sweaters.

common we all know this is what everyone really wants, not some more macross 2 or enemy mechs.

heck, we still need vf1a max tv and vf1d max too and tomahawk waaaaay before more macross 2 stuff (besides, we got the main jet which most want already).

and then, how about some inbids, lol.  Oh common, who wouldn't buy them if bandai made them?

I must admit that look wise, my HMR VF-2SS is the best looking in batroid mode (with or without fps), so sleek, makes me keep wanting to look at it.  It weighs so much too.

In the end, i am really happy i made this purchase. 12,728 yen shipped was alot for me, but damn does it look so sleeeek!!!!  Going to keep it at work for a while, still need to transform it to batroid and gerwalk eventually

Hope there will be something else too coming out, as I won't be getting this, the original one is good enough, and I don't want the hole in the fp of the leg when no gun in it.

Thanks. Is it same as previous but blue stripes (vs red) and different pilot?  I just got the first release yesterday and liking it.

Out of curiosity, any more infos regarding the 'June/July' 'Owl' sets release dates? 

I asked them a while back, and they told me they are expecting in July.

It's eBay flash sale today, for USA and Canada, so grabbed a VF1j for 70 USD shipped. Not the best deal, but I guess not the worst one either

Now I got valks for both my armour sets for fexthobby.

I have to pick up the VE-1 from the post office this Monday. I wasn't going to get more HMR  VF-1's but preordered the Super Ostrich and bought the VE-1. I have Hikaru's 1J and the CF.

Wanted to just focus on the enemy mecha and destroids.

I think the ve-1 is actually the best, really nice without armour, nice with some armour no dish, fantastic in fighter and gerwalk.  Also, he is like the cheapest, best bang for the buck.

Ah... So my posting did help you @Arthurius. 

I paid ¥14k for my HMR VF-2ss from Manda Sahra. With everything it came close to roughly ¥16.5k (almost the same base price as HMR VF-1J with the GBP as I picked it up very late). 

You still got a good deal on it regardless.

Yes thanks.  I honestly wasn't going to buy it, but then saw the discount, and well, I was having doubts but thought it might go well with my other hmr valks.  Was actually considering getting another vf1s messer for the fexthobby armours, but got this instead.  Have to say I like the small sizes so much I could not go back to 1/60th scale now, simply no space, but the 1/100, now we talking.

So I ordered on the weekend the VF-2SS used from Amiami.  It came 117 USD shipped (edit), 12,728 yen.  Did i make a mistake?  Was still offely expensive for me even with the discount, hope it will be worth it.  I do really like my 3x VF-1 (S Messer, A Hik, Elint), all much cheaper.

Thank you!!!

In hand, I like the vf1a hik more without the gun, the 2 larger closed fists.  Taking longer to love him vs the vt-1, but hopefully get there in the next few days

Not sure i need this one to be honest, but i guess i may get one anyways...  

I want to support Fans Hobby as much as i can, they are good guys, i very much like their customer support and assistance.
