Maybe a VF-1S version of the blue HMR Max to go with your VF-1S Milia custom?

An all blue VF-1S Max custom would look cool.  My last spare VF-1S head is being used though.  Unless I get more HMR Valks.  B))  The all red VF-1S belongs to Mariafokina Barnrose from VF-X2.  I need to finish that one.

I wanted to see how this looked.  Custom VF-1S Max and Milia.

I'm loving this! :wub: Would be nice to see this besides Delta's VF-1 trainers. ^_^ 

I'm starting to hate you now, sh9000. Hahaha! :lol:

At the start I only wanted HMR Regults not the valks...now I have several valks and only 1 regult :lol:

True. But nah. I'm going to control this HMR purchases. ^_^

I was stuck in a meeting at work when the preorder at NY started... Just my luck. I got one at HLJ, but that will be 25% more expensive in the end. <_<

Yes, sometimes item's MSRP is 25% more expensive at HLJ. But factor also the shipping cost from all of the stores afterwards and which customer service is better. In the end, all you really save or lost is $10-18. Besides, you can cancel the one from HLJ anytime, hassle and worry-free and without worrying of getting banned. Just saying. -_-

Thank you...it feels good :D

Now to cancel at ami ami without getting banned...hmmm

Banned! 'Nuff said! :lol:

Thanks!  It's all good.  B))  I thought about making the trainers but I'm hoping Bandai releases them first.

I'm talking about import taxes, which is >25% of item price + shipping cost for me.

Ooppss. My bad. Your post didn't mentioned that so I assumed some items at HLJ.

No worry, I was unclear. But you're right in that the difference is not that great between shops if you compare item price + shipping.

Here are some pics.

To be honest. That looks nice. It kinda look like Jetfire but at the same time it doesn't feel like it's Jetfire. I really like how it looks with Max. Now I'm curious to see this in the 1/60 scale counterpart. Not sure if all the shades of reds and blues are the same from the 1J's against the 1S. 

Now the big question here should I hunt down a 1/60 VF-1S Max? Or just wait for Arcadia for Max 1S so that it will have that sparkling glowing pink white. ^_^

What are the chances that N-Y gets this item back in stock during the preorder phase? I recall seeing other hi-metal r releases staying in stock for quite a while.

What specific figure you're referring? The VF-2SS? If it is, you can use NY's notification email when the item is available again for preorder. There's actually no assurance when or whether it will have. The only way to check it is is to use their notification or check the online shops from time to time. You can also use FigInStock to send you notification whether the said item is back in stock.

This question has been asked time and time again and this is also the answer we always give to everyone. The key here is always patience. Hope that helps. ;)

NY doesn't seem to reopen preorders at original pricing very often. If they do, it will usually be early on, like a few days after initial preorder sell out (probably due to mistakes/cancellations). Usually, they will have stock after release at a higher price. I suspect this is part of how they are able to offer the lowest prices initially.

Hahaha! I hate you Saburo! Show me first a Yamato 1/60 Max VF-1S wearing his VF-1J Super Packs. And a Yamato 1/60 Hikaru VF-1S wearing Millia's VF-1J Super Packs. Then I'll decide. :lol: 

But so you know, my only concern is that they will have different shade of white if I purchased a Yamato Max VF-1S. You do remember that's the reason why I sold my Hikaru VF-1's, right? :rolleyes:

I could do the Yamato Max VF-1S pic for you to see when I get home.  I'll put the HMR next to it so that the pic will still be relevant to this thread. It will have TV arm armors, a black heatshield, and no skull stickers on the Super Parts though.

Hey! Don't help Saburo on encouraging me on getting that Yamato Max VF-1S. :lol:

 

But... that would be nice to see. I'll wait for your photos. Thank you in advance.

Now I'm putting Max VF-1S on my Arcadia list. I'm hating Saburo now. Hahaha! :lol:

 

What? You don't already have all the Skull Leaders? For shame! You need to go buy that Max 1S right away! :lol:

Nope. I don't collect everything. I just want the Hikaru scheme. But so far, can't help buying Valks that doesn't have Hikaru schemes. But that doesn't mean I need to buy Max's VF-1S now. It will be out of place since I don't have Yamato DYRL whites anymore. So it's pointless for me to get a Yamato Max VF-1S. ^_^

For sure, you can tell that it's also a shame to display those two VF-1S Fighters together when they don't have the same white color, right? :rolleyes:

What's not working? I'm just showing that my Yamato valks match. No one actually cares what you buy. :p

Is that so? Then no one also actually cares if your Yamato Valks 'matches'. Because you showed me this first...
