anubis20 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) I think AmiAmi still beat HLJ despite HLJ has 70%, I could be wrong.

Old Man Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) Weird, I ended up paying 9,873 JPY shipped. Oh well, what's another $4. Edited July 2, 2010 by Old Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Focker Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Got my shipping notice from Hobby Search. Last two 1/60 sized toys took 8-9 days to arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froy Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I think AmiAmi still beat HLJ despite HLJ has 70%, I could be wrong. Amiami does, even with 70% off on shipping HLJ charged me 10,472 JPY but, the VF-1S on amiami is 7850 JPY against HLJ - 9800 JPY. Amiami is little bit cheaper than HLJ.

Uxi Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 If the Super Pack version had both pilots, I'd get that. As it is, I'm 90% sure to order the Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uxi Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Yup, why I'm getting the Roy without it. I always preferred DYRL FAST packs. Looks like AmiAmi on back order. Maybe I'll hit up Frank & Sons tomorrow and pay the premium for instant gratification (if they have any). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vi-RS Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I wonder how well the Super Set will sell... They should have include both pilots! Because Roy was killed before he got chance to put on the super packs and hikaru is the one that take over the vf-1s and armed with super packs later in tv show.

I think he knew that, but it would be cool for the SUPER set to come with both pilots so you wouldn't have to buy the solo release just for the Roy pilot figure. Little as it is, the Roy pilot figure is a draw to the solo set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanedaestes Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Will have mine by the end of the week, and I am done with my 1/60 VF-1's......unless i decided to buy an angel bird then i will be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the absence of Focker in the Super bundle has turned off quite a few people. Especially most of us already have already got the Super parts.

I also thought so, cuz I own a few 1/60s and it'll be hard for me to start again collecting another scale. I know I have one version but its only for testing.

Macross_Fanboy Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Ok, well today I went to Yokohama for some jewelry shopping with my girls and swung by the Yodobashi camera, and after tearing myself apart I decided to get Roy 1S over the Bandai junk with Macross stamped on it, thus eventually canceling my pre-order with Ami Ami since I can't wait for PayPal to process my funds. It cost 9260 yen instead of the 8350 from Ami Ami. It is nice and tight and unlike my last VF-1, the pegs came off nice and easy and the shoulders don't have knurled pins. One thing that seemed kind of weird was the index finger on the right hand, it seemed long or something, it didn't go inside the trigger guard as easily as others. Another thing I noticed was that the tampo printing on one side of the shoulders seemed botched around the edges where the black paint ends. Kinda annoying but not noticeable from a distance and you'll probably forget about it in the long run. Nice piece to add to your collection so now I'll swap off the DYRL? Skull squad Valks for the TV show versions on the display stands. I think I'll get another VF-1S with the FPs, not quite sure though.

Roy Focker Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 My VF-1S cleared US Customs in less than 4 hours. Last Yamato it took 3 days. This one is gonna be hear soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atreyu2112 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I got mine today. Seems to have more tampo on it. Happy to say NO rainbow coating on the canopy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tampo on the shoulders of yours is alright? Hmm, must just be mine. I wish it did have the rainbow tinting to the canopy so it's a bit more uniform with the rest of Vermillion Squad. I panel lined it and it looks awesome. I got around to switching the DYRL valks on the mighty block stands and they look more elegant than the FP'ed ones once on display.

Roy Focker Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Guess what? Mine arrived in town at about 8:30 am. That's usually a little too late to go out on Today's mail. But it wasn't! It is Express Mail it left the post office at about 9:20 am. I checked my mail box at 11:40 am. I found a "Sorry we Missed You - Please come to us Tomorrow to pick it up yourself" note. I haven't left my place at all between 9:20 & 11:40. No one knocked on my door. Mail box and my door are not next to eachother. Lazy fat a-hole was to fricken lazy to walk. This was the expensive postage I paid for. Now I have to pick it up myself? Can't they call this shitface mailman on a mobile phone and make him turn around and make him walk his fat ass to my door? Hey if I ordered a Pizza to be delivered you better believe they would get it to me. If the delivery driver was an idiot. The manager would be coming to my door with free bread sticks. They don't make me come to them for my pizza. Plus I hear the USPS wants to raise postage again. What a great fricken business plan. Why don't they just copy private companies example? If less people aren't going to stores or restaurants they don't charge the people who are still doing business with them more. That would be stupid. They haves sales and advertise to entice you to use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tking22 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I can't believe all the quality control issues some people are having, mine arrived and it's completely fine, not a flaw on it. You really can't knock the toy that much since it's the first release, it's still hit and miss just as much as any yamato figure, and I personally prefer the battroid on this guy to any other VF-1 available.

I don't mean to go too off topic, but I've just done a quick search for Takatoys and can't seem to find anything that's current. Is there a "secret" site I need to be looking for? I'd really like to get hold of some decent decals for a WIP I've got. Any suppliers of decals are of interest to me. And are these water slide or stickers? Thanks!

Mechapilot77 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Just got mine yesterday. Didn't notice anything wrong with it at all. Box art surprised me, not a huge fan as it doesn't follow the style of the other boxes in the 1/60 line at all, but I'm sooooooooo glad I got this. IMO this is THE valk I've loved since I first saw it helping the vf-1d in the opening episodes of macross (ok fine I saw robotech back then but you know what I mean!). Thebright white really makes a difference, and I think after 7 tv valks, my sdfm valk army is complete (well complete enough for me!) I'm done collecting this line! Such a nice ending! childhood dream come true! Couldn't be happier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I just got my Roy VF-1S today. I totally LOVE the way this thing looks. The bright white on yellow and black is exactly how I remember Roy's Valk and it looks stunning to me. Out of all my Valks I might be the most happy with how this one looks.
