Can confirm. 40's. Completing doctoral dissertation. Spending thousands on Macross. Best form of thesis procrastination ever.
Arthurius Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Yup, got my shipping notice from Nippon Yassan too today for vf1a hi, and I only ordered yesterday Edited April 20, 2018 by Arthurius

I am slowly getting mine out of boxes, moved everything in September and looking for some nice new shelving for the new house. Miss reading all the updates, you have really got into this full throttle, nice! Thanks bbrain! 8 hours ago, Shizuka the Cat said: Would the VF-1J Hikaru wings w/ hardpoints be a close color match? No. The closest would be the CF wings and then paint the brown areas tan grey.

EmilianoAlfaro Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) i love it! Edited April 20, 2018 by EmilianoAlfaro
ScrambledValkyrie Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 That box art looks great. It's a familiar pose, but I think that was probably expected.
SuperDimensionalDave Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 That box art is fabulous as usual. Love the blue of the FP's too.

hachi Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 I see more people have been sucked into the HMR line, down the rabbit hole you go folks! That said I may have to wait another week before shipping my HMR valk. I'm expecting my robot damashii release next week.
Chronocidal Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 Quick question, does this one include a strike cannon, or did Bandai do its usual thing of only including one specific version?

Hikaru's VF-1A figure doesn't come with the Strike Cannon. Only Super Parts as per DYRL appearance. And the Strike Cannon wasn't mentioned in the Tamashii product page.
sh9000 Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 I gotta make a Minmay figure to put in the hand of my VF-1A Hikaru.

But they don't have that as extra, both of those were label as SUPER Strike, so it was part of it. When Yamato release their SUPER vf-1j it did not include strike parts .
hkj711 Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 HLJ has the VF-1A Hikaru in stock for those still looking but is showing low stock. https://hlj.com/product/BANN22566
Lolicon Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 Just got billed by HLJ for it. Man the exchange rate sucks right now, though not as bad as it was around 2008-2012.
sh9000 Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 I’ve got 10 spare HM Strike Cannons and 3 spare HMR Strike Cannons if anybody needs one.

Shizuka the Cat Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) I just got in my first set of HMR VF-1S Strike valkyries (both Hikaru and Roy). I did not realize that, while the packaging calls them Strike Valkyries, they are actually Super + Strike. They include 2 Super thingymajiggers, with a Strike cannon component that can replace the front half of the Super thingymajiggers, much like the Yamato v2 / Arcadia Super + Strike parts. That is awesome! I had assumed that one of the thingymajiggers was a dedicated Strike, and the other a Super. Edited April 22, 2018 by Shizuka the Cat

hachi Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) For people who ordered from HLJ, did you guys get private warehouse notification? (I havent logged in to HLJ though I'm on my phone, just curious) Edited April 22, 2018 by hachi Edit

hachi Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 Thanks guys. I'm back home now so I checked again. For the first time ever the notification emails went into the junk mail folder @_@ Maybe I should start migrating my accounts off Yahoo! email...
