twinmoons Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 (edited) Hi guys, I just received information from our supplier that in addition to the 1/48 releases in October, and also in addition to the re-release of the 1/48 VF-1S Roy, Yamato is also re-releasing the following 1/60 scale valks: - 1/60 VF-1S Strike Valkyrie - 1/60 VF-1J Max Super Valkyrie - 1/60 VF-1J Millia Super Valkyrie We will be re-stocking these and taking pre-orders for them again on our site shortly! Best Regards, Tamim Edited September 25, 2003 by twinmoons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etrigan Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I like Yamato's style. Great toys such as these should never be limited. Thanks for the heads up Tamim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treatment Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I'm assuming the 1/60 Strike will be the Roy again and not the Hikaru, right? Anyway, any info on any improvements on the 1/60's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinmoons Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 (edited) You're very welcome Yep, the strike is the VF-1S Roy. I was hoping they would re-release the Super VF-1J hikaru, but no sign of that happening (at least not yet). As far as I know at this point it doesn't look like they've changed anything. This might be just a straight re-release. I just hope they don't go and put them in giant boxes like the VE-1 and VT-1. BTW, the pre-orders are up and ready: Yamato 1/60 VF-1S Strike Valkyrie Preorder Yamato 1/60 Super VF-1J Millia Valkyrie Preorder Yamato 1/60 Super VF-1J Max Valkyrie Preorder Edited September 25, 2003 by twinmoons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I would still like to see a Hikaru Strike come out, but I'm happy at least to see these are coming back out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynx7725 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Quite surprising that the Super-Hikaru is not out. Does this imply they have not refitted the Super-Hikaru? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 VF-1 2NV Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Quite surprising that the Super-Hikaru is not out. Does this imply they have not refitted the Super-Hikaru? Yamato will probably re-release the hikaru vf-1j at about the same time the 1/48 version is released. Talk about Yamato milking the cow. Most of us will have to file for bankruptcy! LOL And thanks Tam for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawjaw Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 That's strange. I guess Yamato is running out of new things to release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinmoons Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 I think they are just trying to re-release most of their stuff for the Holiday Season so that everyone is stocked up on the Yammie goodness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe they'll release the older Valks and make them FAST-capable while they are at it.. maybe we'll see a DYRL FAST Hikaru-1A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonz Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 i guess yamato is making full use of the molds before they decompose ah, it's all for our own good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 They may not re-issue the Hikaru 1J super, since it used an older mold. Non-collapsing gunpod, and old style arms. Unless they reissue it afterwards with the enhancements Max, Millia, and Roy got. Already have Hikaru so it doesn't matter much to me now. Millia on the other hand I could use.

imode Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Maybe there's hope for the 1/60 fastpack upgrade yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also be kinda weird to reissue the Hikaru VF-1J with it's DYRL components after they tried so hard to get the 1/48 to be so authentic to the series. It's still my favorite of all the 1/60's.

Anubis Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Maybe there's hope for the 1/60 fastpack upgrade yet... Having a re-issue Roy w/ Fast Packs included still leads me to think they won't release the separate FP kits. For the trouble and parts involved to do it, they might as well reissue the old valks, just like they did for Roy. I still want a Hikaru Strike in 1/60 since Roy is the only S head they have released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit29 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 (edited) I wonder if Yamato will re-release the 1/60 Max DYRL VF-1A...that one was a hot seller.

muswp1 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Well, at least I will get a second shot at the Max and Milla VF-1J's. Any ideas if the VF-1D will get re-released?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemesis120 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Any ideas if the VF-1D will get re-released?? I'm pretty sure the VF-1D was rereleased. HLJ was sold out of it for a while (like right after it was released) until a month or two ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinmoons Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 Umm we still have the VF-1D in stock. Here's the link: http://www.tmpanime.com/product_info.php/c...products_id/365 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Did Max and Millia's VF-1J's originally have the collapsable gunpods like Roy had? I thought they did, but I'm not sure now. If not does anyone know if these will? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be, as they are released after the Strike-1S. IIRC the pictures correctly, they are. These links also shows that.. Look at the placement of the peg hole. Yamato Max-1J Box Yamato Miria-1J Box Maybe there's hope for the 1/60 fastpack upgrade yet... May not be. If they upgrade the older Valks and repackage with FAST packs, commercially it doesn't make sense to release a stand-alone upgrade packs. Even if they upgrade the older Valks but do not repackage and sell the FAST packs separately (ala 1/48), those of us with older Valks would still be up the creek.. since we need the replacement parts.

twinmoons Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 I just looked at my original Yamato Super VF-1J and it DOES have a collapsible gunpod. So I'm sure the new ones will have them also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm sure the new ones will have them also. eh.. This is strange. I recall the Strike-1S being the first with collapsable gunpod. The Super-1J still came with the older gunpod, which created a lot of problems as the FAST packs pushed the gunpod lower and made it hard to not scrape the ground.

twinmoons Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 (edited) Hmm, but I believe the Strike VF-1S was released way before the Super M&Ms. I just looked at both my Max and Millia super VF-1Js and they both have the collapsible gunpods. In fact, even the picture of the battroid on the side of the box clearly shows the gunpod to be collapsible.

The Max and Miria types does come with collapsable gunpods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinmoons Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 LOL. Whew, I thought I was losing it for a minute there. I don't have my Hikaru handy, but I believe you're correct that it didn't have the collapsible gunpod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my only 1J. For now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
