Damn that is impressive!  That's not just dedication, it's obsession LOL!  Though I can't blame you.  I've already acquired a DX Roy and his Arcadia VF-0S so I feel you.  I'll probably never be able to be as committed as yourself but I certainly can appreciate it!

Is there a place to preorder the stand alone DX GBP armor?

Luna Park still has it for preorder but I think you have to pre-pay:

It's... beautiful!

Is that a KO on the right? I think I've had the same one as a kid.

Another note: Roy's color scheme is just timeless and superior. Sorry DYRL Hikaru, you're just a ploy to sell more toy variations.

Huh, I don't think I've ever seen an upscaled KO of the Takatoku 1/100 mixed with some 1/55 parts before

The ones with red arrows are KO's (can't see the one with the blue boosters). I call the 1/55's Junky Monkeys. Man, they're pretty bad! I'm still on the lookout for two more. One came in a "Happy Meal" in Indonesia or something and the other is a Sofubi deal. I've only ever seen one and it was pretty much rotted away.

I'm thinking at some point I may go full bonkers and get all of the 1/55, 1/48 and 1/60 releases from Yamato, Bandai, Arcadia, etc (the 1/48 Weathering for example) so I really do have all of them. Maybe not though. I'd have to take a hard look at what space I have to play with.

@UN Spacy -  Now you have three options (and I did PM you somewhere else). Take a wrong move and us guys are going on full hound on you like vulture, osprey, eagles, and hawks.

I'm kind of surprised you don't have a single V1 Yamato and joke machine in there somewhere - at least that I can see. Still, that's one impressive Roy collection.

Back row second from right, clip on the top of the heat shield gives it away

As do the proportions of the chestplate

Good eye. I don't know how I missed it.

Well the whole sculpt really.    Still amazing how good those looked when they first came out.  OK, enough about the Yamato V1, back to your originally scheduled programming.

@sqidd isn't a SD fan; otherwise he'd have them!

I buy any super-deformed Valkyrie I find...  I'm proud of every Roy I own that sqidd doesn't.

Banpresto's 1999 VF-1S Fokker Special is pictured here with the DX Chogokin, in a feeble attempt to steer the thread back on-topic.

Any word when the VF-1D's are suppose to be dropping/shipping?

[Anasazi37]

The ones currently listed for sale on AJ have a release date of 17 July. I don't know where that date came from, since I can't find an official date anywhere, but it seems like a reasonable estimate.
