Hope this helps, they are about 6.5 inches with FP.

Thank you very much, this confirms to me i have enough space.

By the way, did you panel line the VF-1a CF?  If so, black or grey?  Also, did you use some kind of finishing spray on your figures?  If so, what exactly?  The look extremely good.

Can someone tell me how tall exactly (highest point) these vales are in batroid mode, with and without FP. I am trying to free space on my bookshelf. Thanks in advance 

meh, CF / Kakizaki, it's brown, lol....

There’s already a VF-1A CF.

Not the best one that i want most

We need VF-1A Low Vis!!! And VF-1A TV Max and CF!!!

After much further analysis, i think that really, the best looking armors are the ones with standard backpack FPs, not the longer one with guns.  The shields are only a maybe, but original look even without them is fine.  The extra guns with the 102F on the arms are somewhat not too practical or as nice looking as without them, but ok.

So, for me, it is between 000, 101, and 102 only.  The rest give variety for those looking for it, but my ultimate team would be

1x VF-1s with 000

1x VF-1J white with 101 (no shield for the trio, but yes if only 1 or 2 valks with armors)

1x VF-1A CF with 102 (no shield for the trio, but yes if only 1 or 2 valks with armors)

Now, i only have a VF-1S and bought the available 101 armor, so it is ok, but would be a bigger debate had the 000 been available for me at time or PO.

All that said, what i really now would like is a VF-1A CF.... or VF-1A TV (or VF-1A max TV...)... NO, what i really need is a 1/100 VF-1A LOW VIS with big glass eye option included such as for vf-1a cf!!!

I think there will be more opening. They told me on Facebook that it is just preorder but there will be more. Of course until the more is not present, we won't know for sure, but I feel maybe they are gadgeing  the market 

All that said, I don't know if I would still get 000 or 001... well, unless I panelling 000. But wish they could show video of all, and better pics.

I need more naked vales to dress them up, and also wondering if they will make other types of armour for 100 scale

101 and 102f gets you all the accessories, but 102f is tan so you can only use one the tan 1a valk for that.... I unfortunately didn't have the 1a tan. Wish the blue came with this many option, in case 1 day they may TV max...

Why the craze for 000? 101 has everything 000 has, and shields. Do you consider it more compatible with others than 101?

11$ to ship to Canada for 1 armor

I wanted the 101, so no issues there getting it.

BTW, the 101 includes same as 000, but they include the shields too (2), and i get some more red, so i can used him with my white / red other robots (Skyfire)

Canada fixed, i asked them on facebook.

I was able to get to the “compete order” page with the 101, shipping to the US. have you tried other options?

Thanks.  Unfortunately, until they add the option of Canada to the list, which they will do, i have no other options for having them ship to me in Canada anyways... 

i just want one 101....   i pray somehow i can get one, ie they keep me one until Canada becomes available on their list. 

Just 1 little 101 for me.  I will be using it for my VF-1S Messer.  I figure it looks better than the 000, especially next to my FT Skyfire.  Though 000 looks great too. 

some more pics for those of you who cant use facebook

You may have items in your cart that are sold out. Try one at a time and see if you can find one that works.

 

thx, but really no option for Canada... but they told me they will fix it (no idea when).  Also, i think they are just taking preorders but there will apparently be more... 

i cant order cause they dont give option for Canada..... i fking HATE this...

And website is on

Some other pics from the show?

1) Which armor would you take for VF-1S Messy, the 000, or the 101 (shown with VF-1J white) ???  Super hard to decide.  Kinda want the original mostly white as the original kitbash, ie 000, but same time, a bit of red doesnt seem to bad too like with 101...

2) Is this the same company Fans-Hobby that is making all the cool transformers???  If so, then i know quality will be super high!!!  If not, wtf are they?

I got in on that "damaged box" deal for Messer, cost me about $35 USD.  Fairly decent deal, I still don't care for the paint scheme too much but it's a good valk and I like the stand.

wow, much cheaper than mine at 50 USD before shipping.  Where did you get this nice deal from? 

Anyways, i was thinking that worst case, if i dont like the scheme, maybe i will one day buy a 3rd party armor and gonna need a valk to ride it, lol

Whew!  Once again, I almost missed out on the pre-orders because I was distracted with other things.  Was able to get one from amiami.  I'm hoping this finishes out Valyries.  Really looking forward to more enemy mechs.

Which valk did you get?  The 1A or the VT-1, or....?

such a nice red they chose, love it.  Enjoying the pics!!!

For me, the arcadia planes will always be a beautiful work of art meant to be seen on my LED computer screen, too expensive to touch / buy for my means noawadays.

PAID.

So in the end, i bought 1x New VE-1 Elint ~ 8249 yen {more expensive than PO amount of i am guessing 7,500 yen}, 1x Used VF-1S Messer (ie A Figure, B box) ~5,280 yen {new early PO around 6 to 7 k yen i guess???}, and 1x Used Figma Mutsu (ie A Figure, B box) ~ 4,600yen {I think new was in the 6k range at early PO), and shipping came to 2,090 yen via Registered Sal (small packet).  Used 35 yen amiami discount, and gained almost ~180 yen points.

I was debating going with the Air Mail Small Packet vs the Registered Sal, as on amiami it says about 1 -2 weeks vs 2 - 6 weeks, but when googling that vs the other, some reported more customs with Air Mail then with Sal, so i went to Sal and keeping my fingers crossed no customs... pls let there me no customs... this is not the mail you are looking for officer, look away... common baby luck.

Now i got no money to get me some more Fans Toys Aerialbots though next year... oh well, the pains of being a WEAK minded shopper who has been away from Macross for 6 years, who couldnt just settle for 1 figures....ah man, what have i done???  TOO Late, already paid...

 That's actually me that's enabling you not Shizuka..

Amiami does have the slow ship method under SAL (registered mail or unregistered).  

Oh sorry, fixed.  I asked for the SAL registered.  Isnt the difference between registered and non registered that there is just some tracking number vs nothing at all?  Or are they changing totally the shipping method?

Lol, looks like i am not alone in feeling weak and helpless...

Amiami doesnt have any slow ship method, or i couldnt see that option.  I am also buying some used figma figure from them. 

@borgified, no, skipping the HMR VT-1.  Yes, it looks fantastic in fighter and gerwalk, but for the Batroid mode, it just doesnt look anywhere near as nice as the Yamato 1/60th one, which had both the boosters higher so more visible in batroid mode, AND the antenna on the head could be moved away, not just be there straight, which made a big difference in the look of the Batroid.  I'd rather save my money for some future Armour or for a TV Max for example. 

Too bad, cause i actually really loved the look of the VT-1 Yamato vf-1/60 v2 more than the VE-1 from the same, but just didnt carry forward for HMR.

I..... I...... I coulnt hold it ... I am weak .... I wanted to wait for potential Max goodies, but just too weak.... I hate myself....

Just ordered BOTH the VE-1 and the VF-1S Messer.... Not paid for yet, but, i will be once i know shipping.

Yes, i said i didnt like the VE-1 much in Batroid, but... then i saw this asian youtube reviewer who was able to properly show off the toy, with the head tilting down and great posing in some instance, and well... i am weak... i gave in... after maybe 6 years of no official macross toys (basically since Yamato went under...).

Then i was thinking, well, this VE-1 sorta goes well colorwise with that VF-1 Messer, and i could maybe use some (not all) of VE-1 armor at times on the VF-1 for fun (maaaybe), and i could give the stand of the VF-1 to the VE-1 for full stretched Fighter mode, and that I could always in the future maybe get one of those FEXTHOBBY armors if they turn out to be good for my VF-1S Messer.  And so, I was stroke down by more weakness.... and I gave in again...

I am just a weak old man, who needs to go hide in his cave in shame....
