I think it just means this "first edition" will be the only release with a tampo printed fighter display stand and a fancy slip sleeve cover....if you look at the pic....later releases will probably just be the box without the extra stand box....very similar to what they did to the HMR -1S Fokker.....except this time everyone gets the stand that orders on July 27th ans it all fits neatly in one box....

 

...the other comparable release would be the HM VF-1A Kakizaki...on that one,  ordering the VF-1A Kaki also got you a fancy box to "store" your Skull Squadron

 

It's what it says there, the base is only provided for the initial run with the sleeve to bundle them up, but it didn't say how many bases are there for the initial release.

Hopefully this is the one after 36 years to fulfill a childhood dream. 

Now show us the hip joints.

Let's repost the video here, shall we.

It has a waist swivel joint on the nosecone. I wonder if this going to use a swivel bar for the legs. And if so, how it will rotate at the same time with the nosecone. I wonder.

 

This is always the millions dollars question when a new toy line on VF-1 is released.

And the VC-079 civilian model -- SNN Valkyrie... heck, it had far more screen time than the VF-XX.

... And they gotta include the launch booster, too.

I assume this thing doesn't come with landing gear.

That seems lots of troubles to modify and monies to fork out for something that don't look right.

I think the outline is a bit too much and too consistent. Those rivets details should be removed.

Interesting, and yes the Airbrake is far too small.  Plus the VF-1D does not have an airbrake there.

Good eyes, I was almost fooled by it. They screw up the paint job too.

If that’s how they scale the airbrake, I’ll like to see a cockpit with pilot above the plague instead.

Movie 1A head in TV colors. Interesting.

1/8 scale? That's pretty big.

+1

The VF-1S head looks a bit off with huge visor, and I think I like the one done by danbickell. Too bad it’s not completed.

Easy pass. Work harder to fetch that price, Arcadia. I have every copy from Yamato, but none from Arcadia. What came out from Arcadia are basically re-issues of Yamato without any improvements or extras except a hue or purple.

I'll consider it as premium version if Arcadia throws in a service ground crew with assorted utility vehicles, but that's just me.

I received my head S type was impressed with the level of detail thanks kurisama

 

Looking great, but it needs a coat of flat Mr. Super Clear to tone down the sheen.

I thought the Spartan was going to be a web exclusive? If it's not, I wouldn't be worried about preorder madness... it seems the HMR series is beyond that now with all releases becoming obtainable after release since the VF-1S Hikaru.

Agreed, the only gripe I have is the price of these HM-R is pretty much the same as the Yamato's 1/60 line back then, but smaller in scale.

The "Rick" figure looks too small inside the cockpit....

That's what I feel when I first saw the thing. I also think that the control panels on each side should angle down further to have more room for "bigger" pilot.

Because it's in 1/60 scale so it's bigger than the 1/100 scale at the back which creates the perspective that it's closer.

True. But I don't think there will be visible marker or stickers that says Robotech on it so I think that's fine. Unless ofcourse if you turn it upside down, then you will see Harmony Gold etched to the plastic base underneath.

It's not about whether or not the toy or box says Robotech, it's the fact that the royalty goes to HG instead of BW.

I think the VF-1 is out of scale, or maybe the figurine. I have a feeling that the cockpit is way too large for the pilot.

It says only 500 units will be made, comes with the same scale Hikaru figurine. I do hope that it's not a 3 years old toy that makes certain sound clips, but it does say Speaker with real LED panel on the main monitor.

You can choose your desired production serial number, which doesn't make sense to me unless they are talking about the tail number.

Found this from toy daily, I'm not sure who makes this but it's 90cm in length.
