cru721 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) I don't know if this thread is in the right place. Please let me know if it is not. Does anybody know why the recent VF-1S weathering specials have an regular VF-1S black box and a blue weathering special slip cover? Are these real or counterfeits ? Why would they not have the all blue box? If they are real does anybody know if they are coming out with the all blue box version again?

jenius Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 It was just a slip cover because they took the most recent VF-1S release, pulled it out of the box, had a guy in China air brush it, then a guy in Japan apply tiny decals to it, and resold it after sliding a slip cover over it. It will not be repackaged in the future, there was one round of it and that's all Yamato says we'll ever see of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cru721 Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 That really sucks. I really wanted one with a blue box. Leave it to Yamato to not put the finishing touches on. Thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 it was always a slip cover and never a blue box. Ask Save he can confirm it. I can confirm mine, solscud, and vegas and other members on here will say the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cru721 Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 I had one that I had to sell and I am pretty sure that it was an all blue box. It had a piece of syran wrap keeping the lid closed. But since I never opened it past that I can be positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Definitely just a slip cover. It covers the whole box so if you never opened it you wouldn't have been able to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 It never had a blue box, just the slip cover as others said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
