Anyways I hope we see the Strike before the end of the year. Bandai showed off a vintage one at a show earlier this year, and the only reason I think they would do that is to show things to come. If they bring back the Strike they will come. By they I mean the fans that have waited for one since the 80's, and either had one but something happened to it, or never had one. I am in the latter category.

TOTALLY WITH YOU THERE BROTHER!!! Alot of us that have not been able to afford one or get a good deal on a nice one have built ours from bits and pieces. I would like to have a brand new beauty in a box and pay like 100 bucks or less for it.

That's AWESOME!!!

Shiet dude, I could have told ya that!

I must of misread your original post .

EDIT----> I need to add Cocktail.....gooooooo Tommy....Spin those bottles

You could use a milling machine and 20/20 aluminum to make a piece the same size and shape. Once you get it down most milling machines are computerized these days so you could just dial it in and produce a couple dozen in a day.

Sooooo yeah.....you wanna hook me up with one of those machines? We can be partners and make lots and lots of money!

Got my VF-1A in the mail today, sitting under my work desk. I'm trying very hard not to let all this talk of breaking shoulders kill my enthusiasm. I managed to love the YF-19 and it's snap happy neck, so hopefully I can maintain my enthusiasm.

Well......the shoulder breakages have not been reported on the 1As as of yet. So I would not worry too much. Just be careful.

Has anyone else ordered a non-strike VF-1S 2.0 from L&FT? I never ordered from Los before but I was charged for it early last week & they said it would be in Friday. Still no update on shipping status or a response to my inquiry. I'm dying to get my hands on this thing. Does it usually take a long time for them to ship? Thanks!!!

Los is a VERY reliable seller and I do all of my in the states ordering from him. He usually gets back to me via email within 24 hours if not sooner. The orders go out usually the day after he receives them. I have had it happened where I was charged and then the shipment coming to him was later than expected. It happens sometimes.

From yer lips to God's ears! I really do hope the current "origin" line up does well so that we can be assured of a HIKARU 1S STRIKE re-issue !

And of course the VE-1 and VT-1. And the 1D. But hey....I'm gettin a little nuts here.

THANKS!!!

I am going to do all I can to find how to make a metal portion of that part that breaks. .it may not be much. .but I sure the hell will try .

well, i just got my Super-Hikky 1A today, so pix against the old 1/60...

and juz coz the original 1/60 did not come with a pilot nor a FAST-Pack...

THANKS for the great comparison pics! Now can you throw it next to a 1/48. I guess I could later. I'm just lazy.

Why is 2007 on the box? Did we get anything 2007? Too bad it wasn't 2004.

Didn't even see that till now.

I don't think we did get anything in 2007 at all.....maybe that's when they had this notion off a reissue and they thought they should put in on the box.

A styrofoam over the clear plastic tray would have been a nice touch. And where is my Minmay statue and the missle clusters!?

Styrofoam would be nice...but it's soooooo 1980's.

And the reason that there is no Minmay or clusters is cause that's the 1A not the 1S Strike. SOON THAT WILL BE OUT......YAAYYYYYYYYY!!!! I don't have to try to keep building mine up....if you perhaps......gave me one of yours that would be nice.

Did any of the 2001 reissues have heat shields? I'm under the impression none of them did but all of these "origin" valkyries will?

All the 2001 reissues came with heatshields except for the 1J Hikaru.

Alpha OTS,

That looks like a pretty fun mode. Good job. And thanks for the pics.

Ninja Stripper! FTW!!!!

I guess I wouldn't make that much money though because they would never see me before I killed them.

Why would I kill them you say....cause that's just what Ninja do.

Here are some pics of Hikaru's Super 1A that I grabbed off of ebay.

I dig it! I'm gonna have to restart my chunky collection.

EDIT----> In order to spend and get everything I want I need to become a stripper as my part time job. Anyone think I can do it?!?

Because its the only thing keeping the hinge/shoulders in place in gerwalk, and battroid modes. If its filed down, the hinge will immediately swing downwards in battroid mode, making the shoulders lower than the chest.

exactly

I just wish they had made Classics Galvatron Voyager sized ...

Or leader size...

Thanks ...Graham...

keep us informed...

What he said G Man!

Personally I can't stand Classics Galvatron. The chest and head are great - but the rest is just... not Galvatron.

They took too many liberties with him.

A shame since making a simple transforming space cannon would have been SO EASY!! AARRGGHH!

VFTF1

I have stated that I like him alot (even being as small as he is) but you make an excellent point about how much easier it would have been to make him a space cannon. I guess they just though kids would not buy into a cannon....but a tank....ssuuuuurrrrreee.

thats pretty awesome ryno!

THANKS!!! Your turn.

My latest acquisitions.

VERY NICE pieces! A must have nowadays!

I just preordered a VF-1A Higgy with S&S parts from LAFToys. First time I have ever preordered anything.

Is it here yet? Is it here yet? Is it here yet? Is it here yet? Is it here yet? Is it here yet? Is it here yet? Is it here yet? Is it here yet? Is it here yet? Is it here yet?

Says the 15th last time I looked. I'm having a hard time not going to check every day.

Dig that Galvy!!! One of my favs. Your totally right though...the orange is a bit too orange.
