Lightning Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Well, there is nowhere to go after the conversion kits are released. 1/48s Macross Zero and Plus Valks nooo......we need something never done before, like a 1/48 VF-4...(hint, hint: look at your avatar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valk-1S Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 (edited) I was browsing the web looking for more info on the 1/48 CF and I stumble across Hobbyonsale web page and they restocked the VF-1J Hikaru in both the normal and super. If there is still a supply of 1Js out there, this may lessen the chances of a Bundle pack unless the bundle comes with a CF. Here's the link. Prices not much better than TINSINC though. And I don't know how good their service is as I never ordered from them. http://www.hobbyonsale.com/angolz/productD...ductID=YAM00026 http://www.hobbyonsale.com/angolz/productD...ductID=YAM00025 Edited May 11, 2005 by Valk-1S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingPika Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Here is a not so surprising development.1/48 VF-1J Hikarus non fastpack are selling once again, almost gone. The supers are also selling, but not as fast. Very smart of Yamato to just announce the GPB pack without VF-1J. The retailers who were sitting on dead stock probably are happy. Where is this dead stock??? A few days ago i searched all over the net for a vf-1J, and the cheapest i could find it for was $168. Everywheres its sold out, except at hobbyonsale it seems... Where else is it availble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bariaburu Faita Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Well, the last batch of Hikaru VF-1J 1/48 non fastpack that I know of in the Osaka area sold out. Volks had a 50-70% off sale today, on EVERYTHING. All the 1/48 were gone by the time I got there, even the 1A Hikaru Lets hope for a bundle pack release for the GPB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promethuem5 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I love the DYRL hands.... soooo awesome. I will porbably still be getting some of Eternal D's tho, cuz my Roy needs em anyways This is looking cooler and cooler as it progresses, I very much appreciate the codpiece being removable. Very good decision on Yamato's part IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't that special over here. I'm sure we aren't the only ones who disliked the hands on the DYRL valks. And releasing the CF is just common sense. They have people who study the market. . . and I'm pretty sure they're much more interested in what their Japanese customers have to say.

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 The hands look good, wonder if they will include a hand to hold the gunpod similar to the tv hands?
