Mazinger Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 It's as if they have a scheduled release of stock and just don't want to put it all out at once. Or are they really ordering a batch of ten or so here whenever they can? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 It's probably just the cancelled pre-orders going back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Perhaps....but it looks like they are using the same illustration for the HMR VF-1S Strike Hikaru and Roy.....just changing up the yellow/red bits and the box coloring style.... Is the box for Roy the same as the box for HIkaru but with a different color background? Seems like it......which is why I thought they would do the same with a potential VF-2SS Tenjin illustrated boxart for Nexx and Sylvie.....unless one with and one without the SAP? I was hoping the ET VF-2SS would have been graced with a Tenjin illustration but that that does not seem to be happening.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big s Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) I think they reused the image because it is a web exclusive. When ever I receive a web exclusive they usually have blank package or cheap looking pictures. This time I guess they re colored the old box to save time.

sharky Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I see a lot of new members on the forum these days. Maybe the Delta news has brought in new people.

Big s Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I stumbled on here while searching for her news. Anyway on gg infinite they have the Roy 1s for $120 U.S.. They also have a holiday sale so if there's anything else available of interest there is some potential for savings. Stupid spell check I was trying to write hmr news not her news.

Big s Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes after shipping and tax, but when buying multiple items the savings codes are $5,15,25 off. I guess the savings would depend on if they had other items of interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we gotten confirmation that this 1S will come with an extra tip for just a super part armor set? My old Roy 1S had a super and strike tip so you could have either look you wanted, my exclusive DYRL 1As super part packs were the same, they came with the extra tip so you could do a super or strike setup.

Tallman Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The hands look a little too big...but overall looks good... I think not only the hands are too big, but also the legs are too short and small. The head, body legs and hands are not proportional. Maybe this is photograph angle issue?

jvmacross Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 maybe the guy put on Arcadia hands...or the HMR GBP hands? If not, the hands in the promo pics are much better scaled and I hope they are packed in the box.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Sure, they may be different sculpts, they may be bigger, but they're definitely closer to the camera. You guys should see what this would look like with the integrated hands. .. I love the pic where he looks like he's looking at his hands as if to say 'are these too big?

Vifam7 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) The hands are no different from that on the GBP release. The open hand is actually a tad bit big looking. But the above photos are exaggerating it a bit due to poor photography. Also, keep in mind that there are 2 different gungrips. One is the integrated hand version (whose hand is smaller) and the other is the slightly bigger "detail up " version. You'll see what I mean from the Shishioh GBP review here (http://shishioh.info/HI-METAL_R_VF-1J_ARMORED_VALKYRIE.php) Shishioh attached the Strike packs from the old VF-1S Hi Metal in his review.
