Bandai DX Chogokin 1/48 VF-1


IXTL

Recommended Posts

Canon wise the super packs weren't deployed yet at the time that Max was still assigned a 1A.

I have a vague recollection that he was upgraded to the 1J after he was married where he flew the virgin road 1D. The next time we see him in combat Max and Miria are both assigned 1J customs with Super Packs.

Is that right? I'm still rewatching Robotech Vermilion edition and only up to when Max and Miria have their first encounter so only going off 25+ year ago memory. :unsure:

Either way I'd have to keep my 1A Max canon and not equipped with Super Packs for me.

I just want 1 set of Super packs for a 1S Hikaru. 

I think I might actually buy a GBP if it was released. I did plan on displaying the 3x 1J Hikarus in each mode and passing on the GBP, but if a 1D was released (and I managed to secure one) it'd definitely be displayed in gerwalk so then I could have 1 of the 1Js equipped with the GBP.

We apologize to keep you waiting.
But due to the popularity and demand of the dx-chogokin-vf-1a-valkyrie-maximilian-jenius-custom-macross-bandai-spirits we are still waiting for the manufacturer to confirm the quantity before posting it on our website for pre selling.
We do not want to propose a quantity we cannot provide our customers.

That's a steep price but understandable from the exchange rate. the blue looks really amazing on this bird. I hope they release the outfit just so can put in on the VF-1J and various other mech i got lol

yes the colours combination really grow on u. I actually like this more than 1J

I believe Max's 1J debuts in the same episode that Hikaru's Super VF-1S debuts.  Max has been promoted to squadron leader and is leading the escort group that Hikaru bails out in the souped-up VF-1S. It's also the same episode that he humiliates Miria in the arcade.

Episode 24: Good-bye Girl.

Is Bandai's QC getting worse or is this within what's normal?  There were a few complaints about QC with the HMR VF-4 release.  Not to mention the DX YF-19 and the HMR Hikaru DYRL VF-1A.

It certainly seems to have been getting worse. Or at least some releases are more plagued with assembly issues.

Kinda disappointed that the second release is the TV Max 1A. I'm really not a fan of the scheme.

Was hoping for Hikaru DYRL VF-1S or VF-1A or Focker VF-1S

I was expecting a 1s too since that is the typically the second popular valk.  It was issued right after the 1j in the hmr line I think.

Does anyone know if there a good way to monitor Amazon Japan pages via Distill? I have been getting errors or notifications every minute. 

You have to select the right elements to monitor, and it also helps to put in some triggering conditions.
