AWACS! Just picked it up from the post office. I just fell in love with this line. It is like something you can feel very comfortable playing without the fear of dropping it to the ground by accident and losing a good amount of money.

That was the first thing I noticed when I opened mine. I need to put them side by side the VF-1S and the Armored VF-1J and see how much the difference in whites pop next to each other.

I would love to do that too. I'm very tempted to put the TV missiles on the DX VF-1D but the white pilons will bug the hell out of me.

Grey google for the win! Still have to put the armour on but the first thing I did was switch the heads.

Makes me wonder if Bandai could go for a F-14 or a MIG-29 like they did with the Regult or the Glaug.

By "B" he meant Bandai?

2 weeks ago. Still available at Nin Nin and Hobby Genki.

Postman just dropped up this beauty a few minutes ago. And my 3rd copy from Nin-nin game is already on the way.

Not terrible but I'll be getting clear stands for mine.

That makes me think if we will ever see a complete full armor for a VF-11 toy.

Nice. He needs the Yamato 1/48 one. Mine should be here Monday or Tuesday. The waiting is killing me since VF-1Js are my favorite VF variant.

Oh! Yes. I need to do that. I would love to recreate this sequences Still would need to make some custom gun straps

Last night was playing around with my VF-1D and realized you can pop the chest plate and maybe use one from a regular VF to fit the armor just for the pictures. I would try to do that but my first revival should be arriving next week. Also was trying to find a way to remove the whole cockpit area to recreate the Yamato gimick but it seems to be super glued. I seem not to find any screws.

My plan was to display one VF-1S with the VF-0S. One Armored VF-1J with the Super VF-1S And now that we are getting a full Vermillion team I needed a VF-1J to complete the team. A still would need a VF-1S to pair it with the VF-1D tho. These things being relatively cheap allow to go for full team displays without losing an eye or a kidney 😂

Jesus, didn't knew Bandai was mess at deciding what to release and in what particular order. Anyways, I went and grabbed an other GBP revival just in case. Don't want to end with mixed shades of white if a revival or a specific TV VF-1J never gets released. Luckily Bandai will keep consistent with the shade of white in the DX line 😂

This is getting wild. I still remember the days if the old Yamato V.2 releases. I ended with multiple VF-1S after they started releasing the TV series valks. Never liked the Strike Parts on the bright white TV series like Arcadia did.

Wasn't aware of that one. The only 3 I know are the original Hi Metal release, the one in the GBP bundle and the Hi Metal R stand alone. Is the last one the one you are referring to?

That makes me think about passing on the original release and get a second revival to have a naked VF-1J for the upcoming Vermillion team since those will be bright too I guess. I will end with an unused GBP armor tho.

Came across this a few minutes ago https://www.instagram.com/reel/CsN3mOstjAK/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Just I quickie since I got some spare time to open and play a bit with my Hi Metal VF-1D Need to dig our the Yamato V.1. from where ever it is in storage for a group shot. As far as I know only these 4 are the only official releases of a transforming VF-1D toys of the Macross series plus the Virgin road.

https://www.yoyakunow.com/en/robots/16171-hi-metal-r-vf-1j-armored-valkyrie-hikaru-ichijou-custom-revival-ver.html Some one posted that store for the upcoming Vermillion releases. Thought about taking the plunge with the but I went AE instead.

I will see if I can make it to the end of the month and pay for the 2 up front at AE. My savings of the month for toys didn't included this POs 😭

Does AE charges up front on TWE items? I was planning to skip the preorders and hunt them down at the release dates but I better play safe.

Yay! The waiting was worth, HLJ charged me both my untis I got in preorder.
