Toonz and izzyfcuk, thats provided if i can make it in time for the trip. If you guys are interested in the MW HK Shopathon shirt, perhaps you could probably list down the chest sizes, then forward it to Graham to make the order. Following by which Noel could do you guys a favor by paying upfront and bringing them back to you in SG, in which you could late reimburse him for his service and trouble. Hmm.. coming to think of it, probably need to discuss with Noel to get me one too just in case i cant make it, could wear it next time when im in HK. And if im going, probably need to talk to Noel wether he wishes to travel together to HK. Cheers

Thanks Sebastian! Thats nice to hear. Graham's wife and company can do shopping around for clothes and so on..etc.... while we shop for toys and booze away. Pray at the end of the trip, there wun be a huge dent in our credit card accounts. By the way anyone holding out till the January HK Shopathon to get the 1/48 VF-1J? My best guess, we wun find much of them left in January as these are pretty hot items. Hopeing and praying i could make it. Cheers

Hi guys, I regret to inform you that i may not be able to make it for the HK shopathon from January 9th to January 11. If in any event that i was able to spare the time, i will join you guys there. I will provide my own lodging if im there. . By the way, can my fiancee join me in the tours as she is a local there, if i so happen to make it. Enjoy yourselves and hope to meet you all. Cheers

Hi ROB, PM ya! Cheers

Hey Graham, Hope you get yours fast! Please do a short review of it when you have got yours. Another review of the VF-1S Hikaru would be much appreciated. Cheers

Hiya Takatoys, Thanks for the tip. By the way what brand of alcohol are you using to remove the molding grease from the surface of the valk? Is it a industrial alcohol, commercial product or a model alcohol? Thanks for the help and assistance. Hey Montarvillois, Thanks for the tip. Will the lighter fluid be harmful or have detrimental effects to the surface or color of the low vis? Just curious to know, what brand of lighter fluid you used? Thanks Cheers

HMmmm... Im thinking hard....trying to resist the power of the sithlord.... Get the 1/1 DYRL Helmet....get the helmet...get the helmet.... NOOoooooo.....it worth the value of 12 1/48s...and a whole month's pay....arrrggghh...its look so beautiful and tempting...im going to hate yet love myself if i get it..!! I never being this troubled before ..except for exams...

Hey Graham, Are you going to get a 1/1 DYRL helmet? Or Yamato will be giving you a sample? :lol By the way Graham, have you got the 1/48 VF-1J/Fps? Will you kindly do a review on both the VF-1S Hikaru and VF-1J/Fps if you have the time? Thanks Cheers

These are figures by CM corp. So far they are pretty much sold out everywhere. You want to check out with Blackaces (Noel), he has some in stock. Cheers

Im not so sure about those Fps, but it will be available soon. Will someone translate please? Cheers

Okie guys, Some new goodies for you!!!! 1/48 Transparent Fps, Ideal to display the Fps internals and mechanisms without opening the casings of the Fps. Looks cool too. Might pick up one set. Hey Toonz , you still have savings for the 1/48 VF-1J Fps? Now will someone convince me not to get the 1/1 DYRL helmet. Its my whole month's pay!!! <_< Cheers Pictures:

I might tempted to get the 1/48 VF-1J without Fps instead due to its box design instead of the 1/48 VF-1J/Fps. May snap on the DRYL Fps instead. But the TV Fps look cool, boy am i in a dilemma ...which one to get. Please advise. Cheers

Graham has them in his procession already, will he make a review. I seriously doubt so as he seems kinda of busy nowadays. Cheers

Oh no, thats something interested. Transparents Fps..enable one to see the interior without removing or exposing the internals mechanisms or parts. Great, if they are released i might just pick up one set. Hmmm the DRYL 1/1 helmet...i trying hard to resist it....again its the ultimate collection. One question though, would the shoulder pads and backpack be included together with the helmet as a package. I will think long and hard about getting the helmet, afterall its my whole month pay...sheesh... Cheers

Errrmmm..The color of the TV Fps...hmm...what can i say that its a mix of blue, grey and green combined into one. I would say its a a lighter shade then the DYRL Fps, but it looks good. The DYRL Fps are also a Blueish green effect but more blue then green. Ultimately Lighting plays an important part to how your Fps will appear, i prefer to look at them under natural light or white spot lights...brings our the colors in the toys. Cheers

The back of the box Cheers

Hate it when that happens. Sorry Cheers

Okie new pictures: Hasbro Packaging

Another one. Here ..you can see the TV hands provided as well as the packing is close to that of the 1/60s Super and Strike series except for the fact...much bigger !

Back cover of the box

Here are the pictures, props to the person who posted it on ebay, just in case anyone cant see them. Cheers

I agree, but come to think of it! This may not be the case in 10 years time. Now its the peak time for Macross fans. So buy and splurge while you can..bearing in the mind your budgets. Back to the topic, if i were you wasabi-elephant, i would be in a dilema too! But if given budget contraints and i were to choose one only, that would the 1/48 VF-1S Hikaru. But coming to terms wth the demand of the toy market internationally, i would get the 1/48 VF-1J/Fps first then get the VF-1S Hikaru later. I feel that the VF-1J would be pretty much sold out once released cos its a hot item. There are still pretty much of stock of VF-1S Hikaru around in the local market both retailers and ebay. To the design of the box. Ermm ...the front cover isnt really appealing nor attractive. I would have preferred the sky blue box with clouds as the back drop. well cant win them all. Nevetheless, this is a must get. Cheers

Hi Melissa, Its being a long time since last chatted with ya in the beginning, how things going for ya? Back to the topic, i really wanted Hound to be of a Military Humvee or at least a Civilian one. Maybe a black or a dark green approach would look cool. As trueblueeyes mentioned, this is a must get for the alternators line nevetheless. Hopefully the takara version would look better in diecast with a dark green tone. G1 hound still looks better even though it doesnt have much articulation. Cheers

Will someone color it up? Im sure with the wide range of talents, it would turn our to be a beautiful piece of art. Cheers

Yes when he gets Yamato items way before us. Especially in Hong Kong where it is a toy heaven..prices are affordable and cheap ..abundance of choices or shops and places and choices to pick from. Cheers
