Honestly. Did anyone else get caught off guard (at the release of the Hikaru VF-1S)?

I totally forgot that this was being released, talk about being under the radar......... :ph34r:

I wasn't...

maybe a bit early since the 1J was announced before it and released at a later date

but there was no doubt in my mind we would see a Hikaru 1S

(especially after Graham started the guessing game)

Just got my Hikaru VF-IS everything is ok except for the loose canopy which really doesn't bother me since this will stay in Battroid mode :D

When it was orginally announced, it caught me off guard. I am a bit surprised that it's hitting the shelves before the re-release of the Hikaru 1A and Roy 1S, but I'm not complaining.

That's a rip if I ever seen one.  You're telling me I have to spend $120 for a different head???  *Sigh*, when will the greed ever end?

You're getting an entire valkyrie, not just a head. :rolleyes:

plus the box too :p:lol:

Crap, I thought this had died. I purposefully stopped myself from taking that bait. . . and someone comes along days later and does so. :)

Loose Canopy .......Again? 

I'm willing to chalk it up to an individual fluke until I hear more feedback (particularly Graham's review).

Loose Canopy .......Again? <_<

Funny how I got a little worked up about a possible problem with another loose canopy until i realized one important thing.

Not once have I ever posed the valk with an open canopy for more than 30 seconds.

Really, who cares?

In all the pictures of the 1/48 that members have posted, open canopy poses are pretty scarce which leads me to believe that not many people leave their canopies open either. I also have a clumsy cat who loves to rub his head against things. Last thing I need is him rubbing his head up against an open canopy and breaking it off. :ph34r:

I guess most people have their valks safeguarded by their pets while taking these 1/48 pictures

My "A" had the exact opposite problem: the canopy was glued shut. The replacement canopy is loose by comparison.

My Low-Viz canopy is perfect, though. It stays open when I want it to and that makes me happy.

I compared old and new pilots last night and I can confirm that the pilot figure that comes with the 1/48 VF-1S Hikaru is a completely new sculpt and much better looking IMO.

I gotta say that this is now officially my favorite 1/48. I love this Valk.

The canopies on the two I picked up were fine, not too loose and not too tight either...."just right" as Goldilocks would say :D

However, on one of them, the air brake was very loose.

Sorry, didn't take any pics last night. Spent some quality time with my wife instead :)

Don't let him fool you. He's married so he isn't having sex. Sex is a manipulation tool women use to get you to marry them. Be warned.

You think that's bad?, wait until you are married, and they have a kid or two, then the dry spell really starts.....

It never ended for a friend of mine, 18 months later, and he still was getting none, they wound up getting divorced.

:rolleyes: that´s scarry mate , don´t ever tell that story again :lol:

back on topic :

Graham , can you confirm if the 1/48 re-issues will feature the same improvements seen in the later models (like the Hikaru 1S and Low-viz) ? that would be much appreciated , thanks.

I´m just happey we´re finally reaching the end of the VF-1 line and that new valks are coming our way.

Well, I can't 100% confirm it until I actually have one in my hands. However, I am prepared to say I am 99.99% sure that the reissue VF-1S Focker and VF-1A Hikaru will have all the improvements.

And what makes you so sure we are at the end of the VF-1 line eh? B))

MUAHA! YES!

And I still don't understand why the VF-1's and new Valks are somehow mutually exclusive in some peoples' minds.

Because they've milked the cow enough, her teats are cracked and bleeding!!

then she better keep bleeding until those Max and Milia -1J's get produced.

Edit: in 1/48, i mean....

You know, i wouldn't mind if they made a 1/48 NON-TRANSFORMING VT-1 as long as they dropped the price to $40 or so.

Well, maybe a little bit of transformation... say... to the armless gerwalk mode. BUT NO FURTHER!

I don't need to see another bastardized battroid mode.
