    Actually I thought the VF-1D should have its own thread rather than the options parts thread. This is clearer and does not confuse people are are not on the boards that often

    If I ordered through HLJ, this is gonna be my 4th Preorder , each from different sources. Hah.... i dunno, maybe in July, everybody who ordered multiples across sources will be selling the extras, and that could have downward pressure on the prices... lol~! If that happens, I'll blame Bandai again.
  3. BlueMax
    Because only Bandai has this big problem when it comes to pre-orders. Anyway, like i've said before, it looks to be more of a marketing play to artificially create the reputation of Bandai stuff being highly sought after/ blink and you lose type of stuff to guarantee buyers will jump on everything they put out, even people who normally have no interest in their stuff. Ultimately they are feeding existing scalpers and creating new ones when people realize they can re-sell what they have for a tidy sum. Not too healthy if you ask me. The only people who really stand to gain are those who were lucky enough/ have insider connections/ unethical retailers.

    Word!

    It's a hero valk. Hero valks sell way better than CF versions and enemy mecha, regardless of color

    Congratulations Major Focker, on your find. Makes me want to kick myself in the butt for not going to the very place you mentioned yesterday. These things are getting incredibly hard to find.

    Likewise... no choice.... gotta bite the bullet.

    It is now just after 6pm in Japan and past or near the knock off time for work. Just FYI for those who are thinking of refreshing through the evening.

    That's what I've been doing all afternoon here... F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5.........

    Amazing.... the mkting guys at bandai are really something... they limit the supply of the toy and thus artificially build up hype and create the perception the the toy and by extension the rest of the toyline are really desirable and very hard to get.... then the reputation that Bandai's toys are "blink and you miss it" type. Keep the reputation and every single release in future will be sell out and no need to languish on the shelfs.

    Hopefully this one more or less a place holder til they have the numbers they are putting up for pre-order...hopefully... I mean, these things aren't even produced yet!
  12. BlueMax
    A must buy for me, including all the variants they put out for this.... unless they pull the "exclusive" stunt again
  13. BlueMax
    I think the initial retail price (at least for the VF-25F renewal) was about HKD11XX. That's the price I got for the 25F when I was in HK last Nov @ In's Point.
  14. BlueMax
    Yeah... and we'll be really old farts by then.
  15. BlueMax
    Congratulations!

    This current thread is to admire the kit in all its built-up goodness. This is the original thread where it first surfaced: http://www.macrosswo...%20thunder&st=0 Perhaps member Valk009 would like to re-visit this since there seems to be a renewed interest it it

    Since the 1/48 version thread has been bumped up, I thought the 1/60 version for version 2 VF-1s should get one as well, especially with shapeways potentially looking like its a good place to print these parts.
  18. BlueMax
    For all valks i own, i always pop off parts of the fast packs 1st before transforming them anyway, because more often than not, having the fast packs on simply obstructs the transformation procss. So for Yamato's approach for the 17, I won't say i support it, definitely not against but I can accept it.
  19. BlueMax
    Actually to be fair, none of the valks by Yamato Bandai and most makers are "safe". It is as you have said, more or less prone to damage, that's all. I remember back in the 80s, I even managed to break the Bandai chunky munkey's back pack and vertical stablizers for a toy considered "unbreakable"
  20. BlueMax
    That was what I had some vague re-collections about, not definite nothing of the firing missles for the 1/48s by Yamato themselves. For the 1/60s, I have seen exactly the same auctions from probably the same HK seller, but he is asking for what I think is a high price for a replica and unpainted.
  21. BlueMax
    Only the 1/60 version was ever officially released
  22. BlueMax
    I guess some compromises are necessary as far as this aspect is concerned.
  23. BlueMax
    Count me in for the U.N. Headquarters Guard as well.
  24. BlueMax
    I am quite happy with the scuplt of the D head as it is, though I would not mind any improvements.
  25. BlueMax
    Finally! Gotta save up for May... And also hope more of such non- traditional releases on the way
