Valk-1S

1/48s Macross Zero and Plus Valks

Hikaru is a pretty good price. TINSIC selling them for $150 and other than that there are some sellers putting up their own on ebay. I had trouble finding one but manage to eventually one. Did you get a first issue or reissue? To me it was harder to find a reissue. I think i got a first edition well then but it's nice no matter what Just check the pilot seat and you will know which edition it was. I manage to find a first as well but I wanted a reissue. Finally found one on ebay and waiting for it to come to me now. Good thing about the first released of the hikaru compared to the Roy, no crooked skull

I wouldn't be surprised now if the kill Shin by the end of Destiny. After Ep28 more ppl will start to hate him and killing him off will not make many unhappy. He looks so darn evil when he's in seed mode. Like an evil madman, almost like the druggies in Seed.

Try PMing Rohby. He may still have some left.

Looking at the 1/60 GBP armor prices, it could be possible the price to be 19800. 1/60 GBP Armor only 3900 Yen 1/60 GBP with 1J 9800 Yen 1/60 Valk 7800 Yen Difference when you buy the bundle and seperate 1900 Yen. Saving as a percentage to total seperate cost is 16% For 1/48 1/48 GBP Armor only 8000 Yen 1/48 GBP Armor and 1J 19800 Yen 1/48 Valk 14800 Yen Difference when you buy bundle and seperate 3000 Yen. Saving as a percentage to total seperate cost is 13% So the 19800 could be possible after all Just have to wait and see.

As GBP is to be retailed at 8000 Yen and the FP was 5800 Yen I doubt the bundle will cost 19800 Yen. Thats the same price as a Super 1J. So far only news of the GBP by itself but no confirmation. Toy-Wave is already taking preorders for the GBP armor. If a bundle does come out a lot of ppl will be happy.

Possibly and that person may have just given it to their kid or nephew/niece as well. So it may be broken by now Agh! what a waste of such a rare item if that happens. But I am sure some collector would probably have tried tracking down the winner to buy it off them.

I wonder what's on the heatshield? And if it will ever get it's own box? Maybe the CC Company Logo I think its probably a Skull as well since the tailfins have the skulls too. Looks a bit like a LV Heatshield.

Best way to tell from the box is by looking at the pilot seat. 3rd Issue will have a curved Head rest while the 1st issue is more like flat with two lumps. Try doing a search as I remembered someone posting pics of the different head rest. Haterist is right with 1st and 3rd Issue having a crooked skull but from what I have noticed the 1st Issue is much more crooked than the 3rd. For my 3rd its just slightly off and I think not many ppl will notice it unless they have a good look at it.

My Update: 1/48 = 8 (5 Normal 3 Supers) + 3 Fast Packs 1/60 = 5 + 1GBP Armor Update: 1/48 = 10 (7 Normal 3 Supers) + 4 Fast Packs 1/60 = 5 + 1GBP Armor

If I recall correctly HLJ never discounted the 1/60 Max and Millia 1J. They did drop the price for the Super VF-1J Hikaru, the Max 1A, Hikaru 1A, CF and Roy non-fast pack, the FP YF-21 and FP VF-11, and I think also the VT-1 and VE-1. At one point the Max and Hikaru 1/60 were selling at 70% off to clear their entire stock for those two.

Best to check with Singapore Customs Policy. If they give you trouble you can always try telling them you were studying/working overseas and now moving back to singapore and these were your personal stuff over there. I don't think Singapore Customs is as strict as certain other countries like Australia but i could be wrong.

Let's not get too excited. I think TAKATOYS and ANASAZI37 will wait for the GBP to come out officially. Why waste the time if this becomes vaporware like the yf-19 FP. Waddya mean vapourware? I got the word that it's gonna come out and I gots the money flowin to my supplier too. connor99, I think it's best to wait for the GBP to come out. Because not only do Takatoys and Anasazi make stickers out of better material, but if it's bhadly disproportioned they will fix that as well. There's no chance that this will be vapourware. Yamato will be stooopid to stop the progress on this. Summer of 2005 here we come! Looks like it most likely won't be vaporware. Toy-Wave is already taking preorders on it at US$69. One thing I noticed the weight placed at Toy-Wave is 2kg. Wonder whether thats an estimate or weight given by Yamato. So? VE took Pre-orders for the YF-19FP. I am not trying to burst everyone's bubble. I for one want 15 of these bad boys. I am just trying to keep from being too excited. I also still want the 1/60 Destroid Monster and the YF-19 FP, ya know. Just saying it will most likely not be vaporware. I never said it is definetly coming out. Plus at least for the GBP we have seen the prototype pics and also a price tag place on it, which we didn't see for the YF-19FP. I too am eager to get it but not sure whether to preorder it yet, so until then will wait for further news. oww...yeaaaa...we ALSO did see the prototype for the VF-0s.....but Im pretty sure this one wont be the same Again I am not saying its definetly coming out. Yes we did see a prototype for the VF-0S but we only got an estimate price from a magazine. As for the GBP they have placed a price on it with and without Japan Tax. And as I said that I will wait for further news before deciding to preorder it.

HK got the HCM Pro MK II AEUG early. I just received mine from the post on Monday

I have no problems with the weight, I prefer it to be heavy than light as long as the joints can support it. Being 2kg means the GBP by itself is gonna weigh more than the Valk + Super Fast Pack as the Super VF-1J is 1.8kg. The GBP and Valk together is gonna be one heavy toy to handle.

Just got my Cosmic Region Impulse and HCM Pro Impulse in today. Very disappointed with the Cosmic Region. The paint job just look soo messy on the impulse. Instead of looking like a nice clean Impulse out of the factory, it look more like a weathered Impulse which originally had a bad paint job from the factory. The panel lines are not neat. Its kinda smudgy and messy. Luckily I only ordered one instead of two which I originally plan. As for the HCM Pro, it looks good so far. I haven't manage to open it from the box yet as I am in the office still, but you can definetly see them through the window. The HCM Pro paint job not to say perfect as there are some overlaping parts but no where as bad as the Cosmic Region. What I noticed as I also ordered the HCM Pro MKII Titan is that the Tian paint job is better than the Impulse. But the Impulse still looks pretty good. I guess I will only order one Cosmic Region Freedom when it comes out unless Bandai makes an improvement to their Cosmic Region line.

Toy-Wave have it for preorder at US$52.50 and retail price in Japan is 5500 Yen.

Still not quite that simple. The VF-1A Hikaru does not have the points to attached the Leg Armor. No holes, so you will have to drill some in. Also I believe the arms is different and you won't be able to attached the Arm Armor. The only non fast pack 1/60 that is fully fast pack compatible is the VF-1D and the VF-1A CF is partially fast pack compatible.

HLJ is taking preorder for the 1/60 PG Skygrasper. Expected release date is June. http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN998015

The only 1/60 that can put on the fast packs are the Strike VF-1S, Super VF-1J and the VF-1D (not counting VE-1 and VT-1). All the others excluding the VF-1A CF do not have all the points needed to attached the fast packs. The CF does have the Leg and Arm modifications to allow the fast packs, however, it doesn't have the holes in the backpack to accept the boosters. Also, you may find the holes in the CF for legs to be a bit small to put on the fast packs. But if I recall properly there was a member here who had a CF which was able to mount all the Fast packs on.

Look at the post by Singer high at SGCollect. Makes you wonder whether the GQ models are selling well since TRU Tokyo Japan had a three day sale for the GQ Force and Sword Impulse at 1999 Yen. http://www.sgcollect.com/forums/index.php?...ic=32581&st=195
