Oh yeah forgot about those it's been so long, lol

 

Edit to add an actual question, any more news on the super pack set? They've shown it displayed on Roys VF, but the display tag said Rick I think? Has there been any news about which one it will actually be sold with, or if it will be sold separately?

Feelin' the holiday blues?

That's the ThreeZero on the left, for the sake of comparison.

Aside from a 1D trainer, I hope 3Zero makes their own 1D Virgin Road... still regret selling the one I got in HK  a long time ago.

Ben Dixon's... VF-1J? 🤔

I was thinking the same thing... was there a dream sequence part that I missed where Ben got to finish his steak and became a squadron leader? :blink:

It's funny, when I think of the DYRL 1A, I always imagine my dream green 1J, and my fingers follow. The slip has happened before, and surely will again. 😄

But, a DYRL green one would be enough...for now.

I doubt I could sleep having done that. I don't sleep already while looking to own my first

You mean this one?

It's a shame we've only ever gotten a Korean bootleg in this color scheme.

Come to think of it, it might look nice in brown, too. ☺️

3Zero can only produce valks from Macross TV... what you can wish for is the Alaska Base green 1A that even Yamato during their heyday weren't able to get to (there was a prototype if I'm not mistaken).

In hindsight, yeah I'm kicking myself :vava:. but to be fair that was during a time when Yamato were churning out valks left and right from both MacTV and DYRL, and I didn't have as much cab space and disposable income back then as I do now.

Yeah, displayed at the 2011 Shizuoka Hobby Show.

Nor the hindsight to know which variants would prove most valuable, amiright? 😉

That would be nice...with color-matched Fast/Super pack as well. An awkward third wheel at Max and Milia 1J social gatherings. 😆

Yet, even a green-striped 1J would scratch my itch. In fact, think someone once did a custom Hikaru 1J repaint in green stripe based on a squadron leader that may have been mentioned in canon, but unseen. Looked great to me, anyhow.

Yes, one hopes that can be addressed, of course. A money machine if they can milk that mold further...well, in Macross terms. 🤪

I certainly doubt they'll be pushing the license boundaries Toynami did - like releasing a strike valk while under the series license. Not that I'd complain...

Yeah, that too... Although I'm not really one to dwell on the unrealized value of any toy in my collection. And if I ever do sell anything, I just look to possibly get back what I originally spent and I would just as quickly spend the proceeds to buy something new to add to the collection. 

I've never really been a Max guy and back then I had to choose between keeping my 2 1D trainers (one in F-mode or Gerwalk and the other permanently in battroid with those seat accessories), which, to this day, is my favorite VF-1 variant... or give one up and keep the Virgin Road. But if 3Zero decides to make one, then all will be right in the world.

IF I did have any kind of foresight back then, I would have invested in something, other than toys, that would make me filthy rich now :lol: ✌️

 

 

... and a Merry Christmas to everyone here on MW :)

there's one virgin road on mandarake right now and another on one of the other japanese secondhand sites (mercari/rakuten/jdirect fleamarket).
