twinmoons Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 (edited) OK folks, on the Yamato frontier, it looks like the 1/48 VF-1A is making a comeback. I have confirmed that Yamato is re-releasing this one as well. They are due to be releassed overseas around November 30th, just in time for the Holiday Season. The pre-orders for these are up on our site as well. Looks like Yamato is going crazy with the re-releases. So far we've confirmed: - 1/60 VF-1S Strike - 1/60 Super VF-1J Max - 1/60 Super VF-1J Millia - 1/48 VF-1S Roy - 1/48 VF-1A Hikaru I am still hoping that they will re-release the Super VF-1J Hikaru. * keeps fingers crossed * Best Regards, Tamim Edited September 26, 2003 by twinmoons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinmoons Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 Ahh, and here be the pre-order for it: Yamato 1/48 VF-1A Hikaru re-release Preorder I think this re-relase will also include the improvements that were made in the 1/48 Max and the low vis. I haven't confirmed this part yet, but it would make sense that they would use the new molds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkryie 13 Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Will the re-release have a new box or markeing that shows they're version 2 or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinmoons Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 I don't have any info about the packaging yet. I hope they do include a version number so that we can tell them apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynx7725 Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Anyone has any ideas if the re-released 1/48 incorporates the design updates (i.e. nosecone slots, better control surfaces)? Also.. hopefully the 1S tail skulls are on straight. I may get one if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myk Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 If they continue with this, maybe all of us who missed out on the "Low Availability Valkyrie" will get another chance to get one..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 I'd like that include the 1/48 VF-1J TV hands version or their be sold separetely like the 1/60 white and gray heads kits. thats could be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may get one if so. From what I've heard, the new-releases will be using the new molds and will incorporate the design updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries there; I can wait for someone to get the 1/48 Hikaru v2.0 and confirm. If the 1/48 Hikaru has the upgrades then the 1/48 Focker would have too. But IIRC, the backpack hinge is still the same design (and hence with the same vulnerability). And no guarantees on the crooked skull either.. I guess we would need to gamble a bit there.

Yeah, the backpack hinge would still be the same. I wish they had included that piece that comes with the FAST packs along with the 1/48 valks themselves. That piece keeps the backpacks firmly in place and also fills that gap behind the valks head. Well, this just means that you'll have to get a set of fast packs for all of your valks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurin Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Old crooked-skull 1/48s = FAST Pack candidates. New correctly-applied skull 1/48s = No FAST Packs! I'll just put the FAST Packs on my old ones to hide the crooked skulls, and buy some new ones to proudly display the "good" skulls. They got the skulls right on the low-vis. . . so hopefully they've learned how to apply them straight by now. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
