aaajin Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 So, per that video, that means a new 1J GBP release is up the road still? oh, also, HLJ has ordering available on the CF and Monster Theyre just showcasing their past and future releases...but being Bandai, I'd say they will eventually re-release it if there is demand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F360 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 If I pay for my 2 Monsters at NY now it will be $518 shipped. and then you will probably get a invoice from N-Y when it releases, that they need more money for shipping due to incorrect estimate weight of items. and the increased pricing of EMS.

sh9000 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I'm sure NY didn't know that the VF-1S Strike Roy was going to be packaged in a box within a box within a box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedas Bike Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I'm sure NY didn't know that the VF-1S Strike Roy was going to be packaged in a box within a box within a box. Yeah, as much as I'm NOT a fan of N-Y I don't blame them at all for how Bandai opted to pack the Roy VF-1S Strike. Also, I checked a few of my open orders and it appears I went crazy ordering the cannon fodder VF-1A, so much so that I probably need to cancel the order I placed with HLJ (original window, not the one that was opened the last day or two). I do however need a pre-order for Hikaru's VF-1J, and Max's 1J. It sure does suck being a valk-a-holic. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 What are those other toys at the bottom of the page. It's TomyTec's 1/144 Pre-painted Kits. From what I understand you need two individual kits (Fighter & Battroid), to convert one into Gerwalk mode. So if you need to display it in all modes you need to get 2 Fighter and 2 Battroid kits.

seti88 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Covered in the models section. Long story short, all modes at the same time get 1f,1b and 1 gerwalk. Any mode at one time, just get the gerwalk and swap parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arbit Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Eff that. +1 They're not cheap either. You could get an HMR for less than two of those, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) A basic hmr vf-1 is more expensive than a gimix all mode set by abt 400yen sale price. It's not a direct comparison as one is a toy and another is a kit. I feel the gimix has a more realistic prepainted look for display whereas hmr's are more playable. If u are a fighter or battroid mode only collector, and don't mind fitting the parts, the gimix's are definitely 1/3 cheaper. I m interested in posing the gimix vf-1 battroid against the hmr regult, as it looks like it would scale quite nicely together..

Lolicon Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 One is a painted model kit that you simply have to stick together out of the box, the other is a toy of questionable build quality. I don't think you're gonna find someone who will paint and detail a model kit for you for $30, so I see it as a decent value. I picked up just the fighter mode kits along with the LED lighting units for the engines. Should make for a nice display piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big s Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I actually bit the bullet on those kits and bought two of the full sets of the 1a so I could do the display. Of coarse right after that bandai decided to do the preorder for hmr 1a. After doing the math I probably should have skipped the second tomytech set. I still wanna see the vf31A full set for tomytech. Although an hmr version would probably be great with less anime magic in the new series it could look spot on even with the transformation.
