Yep those are fuel tanks. I knew I read it some where This from the Macross Mecha Manual In the final episode Shin ejects all missile pods, the booster and you can see how those tanks get ejected too

To tell the truth, IMO, the adapter is quite odd or horrible if the hole can't be used for something else. I haven't seen the adapter for the Arcadia VF-0 but even Yamato have a prettier solution.

Totally missed that one.

Aren't those things just conformal fuel tanks? Maybe is just a gimmick. But there is a mysterious hole near the leg intake.

So. Better start to check HLJ every few minutes to see if they have some in stock in the next hours? I completely missed the PO day.

So, it is not to scale withe previous VF?

Nope. Just regular releases. And only the original release came with fast packs. If you wanted fast packs for the 21 you had to hunt down the fold booster bundle with pack for both 19 and 21.

You either have a slim and aerodynamic fighter with a skinny batroid mode or a well proportionated batroid mode with an absolute chunk of fighter mode. I wouldn't be too picky. The 21 by far, might, gotta be the most anime magic affected valk.

Weird. I have never seen a product like this with shipping to Mexico.

Go, go, go! https://www.hlj.com/dx-chogokin-vf-1j-armored-valkyrie-hikaru-ichijo-bans61451 I'd be in for one more if I had the moneys

Oh! So, is this going to be an actual release? Wasn't very sure if I wanted to get some hi metal (since I wasn't able to grab either Max and Miria supers or or Hikaru GBP). Guess this will be a good chance.

I knew there was something odd. Why is Arcadia giving it hard points?

Just came across this ones https://www.hlj.com/1-60-scale-macross-variable-stand-aca82164

Because of the perspective proportions may look a bit off but it looks to me that the landing gear is longer than the landing gear bay.

Not a huge fan of Transformers but a Lego fan since kid. To be assembled this weekend

Just scored a terrific deal on amazon this weekend. Guess these sets are not that popular here in Mexico. Luna Lander came with 34% off and The Discovery with a whopping 25%

A VF-1S in Kakizaki colors? Now, that is a view.

I'd believe that if this is a official second run, the price should be near MSRP (around 20000 yen) The price for that publication seems to be aftermarket pricing.

VF-1S neck is bigger/widder. VF-1J head won't fit on the S neck. Also I found out that S head is very lose when you put it on the J neck.

Not a great fan of M7 valks but I hope this is a small window opening for VA-6.

Since Arcadia was Yamato, lots of VF-1. Does that count?

Got curious about this. Just tried removing them from my Fockker. No issues. I remember having trouble back then with the 1/48 Yammies. DX is way easier, or is just my copy. VID_20220206_192522.mp4

Just ask your friend if is a first release. If it is open ask him to check the the biceps. On the first run of the biceps just exploded for no reason and to make the things worse you only noticed it when handled the toy just to find the arms to be loose as hell. (A part that slide over the biceps during transformation hide this issue) http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=1673 There is the listing for the releases. After the original release there are 2 more. You can identify the release by the box art.
