canklebreaker Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) Is Luna Park the best option to get the VF-1S with clear armor? Edited September 7, 2023 by canklebreaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DewPoint Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Luna Park, based on posts from members here, tries to save on shipping. The try to use as little packing materials as possible. That being said, if you care about the condition of your retail box, look elsewhere. If you have no other choice, then all you can do is hope for the best.

(Painted, decals, etc.) Unfortunately, no. They both reside in this state. I have completed everything necessary for casting, but never got around to it. If you attend SDCon this year they will be present. Edited September 9, 2023 by nightmareB4macross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is that grey VF-1 custom that looks like it was based off of a Yamato 1/48 VF-1? It is on the left side of the picture, below the VF-1A Hikaru in battroid. Thanks!

Twich It is from a 1/48, but does not nor is it meant to transform. More along the lines of the VF-X TEST.

One of these days you need to finish that 1/48 VT-1... it would be the Ultimate one of a kind as I don't think anyone else has ever attempted it. Your 1/55 customization skills are next level! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling it won't since this is a specific Hikaru bundle. But who knows? Maybe down the line Bandai decides to release just the Mechanic Strike/Super Parts on its own bundled with the rest of the Skull roundels. Easy money.

R0P3-F15H Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 i just don't expect this to end up a regular release for it to matter sadly, maybe they will do a renewal of the super parts with these new features is my only hope.

MKT Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I am actually relieved that Bandai chose this release for people to jump all sorts of hoops over, because by many measures lots of peeps including myself, won’t care much about it lol. Now let’s say, Bandai did this for a 31A Kairos re-issue, perhaps Arad’s version..  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
