KC shipped my special color Focker....

 

Guess I'm not quite done yet with KC VF-1s...

[Stampeed Valkyrie]

So what is so special about the Special Color Roy VF-1S?   Am I missing something?

Jotun is different... I wonder if we'll see some HMR conversations of the Orguss that would be closer to what we see in the show.

I have a feeling you’ll see more of that when the moderoid comes out

VF-1A Arcade Max and Miriya.

[jvmacross]

Hopefully KC releases a red and blue clear plastic special edition down the road...

[Stampeed Valkyrie]

Well on the plus side the Metallic VF-1A set does not look as obnoxious as I originally thought.    As for the M&M 1J set,  I can't see myself plunking down anything to get a different colored base.

General buyers get the usual translucent base

I guess it would be pretty difficult shoving an action figure into the tiny hatch on the back

[DewPoint]

Interesting.  But that's a complicated seal.  The single rear hatch is more reliable to keep space from taking all your air.

I think that they making several colors of the JOTUN valkyrie with color coordination of the armor is cool!  I wonder how much diecast the battlepod and Glaug will have with it.

Did the forget about the antennae on the phalanx 

[jenius]

They forgot the heads on the Angelbirds... so ... maybe?

I noticed that too….seems kind of weird to forget to put the heads on your display valkyries, but what do I know?!?

I hope the Destroids and Zentradi mechs are released as un-weathered....or at miminim a weathered separate release...

So I wonder how much "less expensive" will be the price?  Without stand, missiles and reduced packaging, would that justify a $50 price decrease?  That might just make this a offer too good to pass up.

the recent "shocking" price of 190 USD for 3 "complete" VF-1's wasn't cheap enough for you?

The only reason why I may double dip on these "bare bone" re-packs is to get a correctly painted VF-1A "Ben" and "Max"...but they would need to be less than the recent "shocking" prices since I already have complete versions...

I would actually be fine with bare bone Angel Bird releases since they technically do not need the missiles....

well, when the cost of the shipping is equal to, or greater than the cost of the toy itself.......

[twich]

Sorry, was not trying to sound snarky with that response, but for me, the cost of shipping it from HK does come into effect, for the overall "inexpensiveness" of the toy.  I meant to flush out my initial response by saying that if BBTS or similar e-tailer were to sell this new, cheaper packaged VF-1 for $90, then that is what I would consider to be a good deal.  The $190 for the three toys is a "good deal".  The cost of shipping though is a bit of a deal breaker.

Twich

[Zeliard]

I am in a better position I guess. Living in south east asia, my postage usually costs $19 or 36 if heavy. 

[Stampeed Valkyrie]

I'm kinda amused that they keep up with the only XXX made limited edition thing.       Sure XXX made of this release,  but in a year or so we will just change the color of the base and release XXX more.    Then next year XXX release,  but remove the missles and base.    Then the next year another release XXX but it has Fast Packs!    *Sigh*

Surely looks that way. A lazy reskin. 

The only non cannon variant that look awesome was the God of Flame.

LOL...

Maybe there are collectors that think an edition size will somehow make them more valuable in the future....

I remember when they initially a ridiculously low edition size for the Ben and Max VF-1As....now they are bundling them at "shocking" prices...

The shtick with KC is their rapid release of paint variants....how long can that continue?  And why don't they do some that may actually be popular like "real world" fighter paint schemes...why does every paint job have to be so gaudy and with tons of chrome paint?

How about some plain grey schemes or camo designs?

KC should just crack open one of the VF-1 Master Files books and get busy....

Or just quit wasting time and give us the Alaska Base and Cavaliers...
