That’s what I thought when Bandai announced first run exclusive stand. I thought they’d have a regular release without the stand. They also did it on the shfiguarts vader.

That hi-metal r Roy had only 1 batch run , the free display stand was for those that preorder within the first 2 weeks since it was a Tamashii web exclusive. The free display stand also added extra shipping cost which many complained. For the dx chogokin, the first press limited display stand could also be for just the First dx chogokin 1/48 valk which happens to be the vf-1j. They never talked about any 2nd run of the vf-1j. Tv max which is the 2nd dx chogokin 1/48 release will not have the extra flight display stand . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came back two days later and said they didn’t have it in stock and gave a refund. I had another experience like that not too long before. So, I haven’t been thrilled with the experience there.

borgified Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Since we all know that Max's 1a has been shown and now in the works, the next possible variant next is Hikaru's/Kakizaki's 1a in which we all hypothesized (with the Angel Birds and Virgin Road down the road). It doesn't seem right if Bandai jumps on and does either Hikaru's/Roy's Strike 1s after this as its a newer headsculpt in the 1/48 line up, although Bandai can macro-size the HMR 1s head sculpt to the limit (in theory). I could be wrong though. As for the 1j headscupt, we all know that M&M's 1j is going to happen. It's just when in line is the waiting game...

Duymon Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 honestly it doesn't matter what VF they release it'll sell out. Just hope to god the VF-1A Cannon Fodder is web exclusive so that we can relive our VF-31A nightmares again woot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatsing Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I think the vf1s is next too. The 1a head is a different sculp than the 1j, and Bandai released it before the M&M. Though at this rate, I'd collect the M&M 1j for a 1j if they don't reissue the 1j. Or even the brownie 1j if they release it. I don't think the 1s head sculpt would be an upscale; the dx vf1j had antennae that were on ball joints, but the hmr were just on a swivel. Also the I think the visor has finer lines I think on the DX than the HMR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
