sleddogg83 Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 I actually have two questions that only a noob like me would ask: 1) Why do only select 1/60 come with pilots? 2) What is the small (~1/16 inch in diamter) painted "disk" that is usually found in the tray underneeth the figure when newly opened? Sorry for the criptic question, but that's the best way that I can explain it.
rocco_77 Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 I can answer question one... Simply, when the first few variations of the 1/60 line were released, they just didn't make pilots for them for whatever reason... I don't really know if they didn't think it was important? I know that there was a lot of discussion and ranting here about this, and fortunately the subsequent releases came with pilots.

sleddogg83 Posted October 6, 2004 Author Posted October 6, 2004 Here's a picture: 1 is from Hikaru VF-1A 1/60 2 is from Max VF-1A 1/60 It almost appeared as if something snapped or popped off .
EXO Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 I think something did... those look like screw covers... anyway, I wouldn't really know, I keep my 1/60s way back in the darker corner of my Macross collection....

Yeah you're right. They are covers for the screws. I'll have to find out which ones for sure. Edited October 6, 2004 by sleddogg83
connor99 Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 This is another 1/60 pilot related question. Has anyone noticed the figure on the SUPER HIKARU box? It's the TV version. But for some reason, the variant came w/ the DYRL? version. I'm not sure if this has been asked before, and I really never noticed until I got one from EVILPORKCHOP, but can anyone shed some light into this matter?
RichterX Posted October 8, 2004 Posted October 8, 2004 It seems all VF-1J Hikaru came with the DYRL version of the pilot, why? who knows , the Armored VF-1J comes with the tv style of the pilot
connor99 Posted October 8, 2004 Posted October 8, 2004 I know, RICHTERX! Would have been nice if the SUPER HIKARU 1J's came out w/ da TV Style pilots and Thanks for the little tidbit , I havent' actually gotten around to opening my ARMORED 1J VALK !
Draykov Posted October 8, 2004 Posted October 8, 2004 (edited) I think those screw covers are from the inside of the chest plate somewhere. I noticed them on my 1/60 Max and Miria. Edited October 8, 2004 by Draykov
