Wow! It's seems that some people are rather upset that the Hikaru 1S is out. I for one already have it on pre-order and am happy it is being made. I suffer from completist syndrome so I don't care if it's a 1S in a different color.
For goodness sake people, please don't bash Yamato for making a Valk that is in the freaking anime. We all know that all the jets in the Macross saga are inspired by one design. At least they are not inventing Valks like some other company
True, they could make a interchangable head thing or something, but like H has hinted, the real world is based on money cause we all gotta make a living. If you dont' want to shell out the $, then go custom and say "I'll pass" like other people have said. No need to bad mouth Yamato.
