jenius Posted November 13 Posted November 13 Huh, I wonder if that's a normal TWE or some sort of raffle PO. Quote
Shawn Posted November 13 Posted November 13 The box art is 'officially' out...the 2nd pic is going on my shelf as-is! Right next to the Nichimo! Quote
rsvictor1976 Posted November 13 Posted November 13 (edited) I’m a little disappointed it doesn’t come in that book style box like the previous 1J release. Edited November 13 by rsvictor1976 Quote

grogall Posted November 13 Posted November 13 Thanks was hoping it matched the original cover art slight green! Quote
rsvictor1976 Posted November 14 Posted November 14 3 hours ago, grogall said: Thanks was hoping it matched the original cover art slight green! I like the darker green. It goes really well with the shade of yellow. I think my only complaint besides the missing book-style box is the lack of the black & white Jolly Roger skull emblem incorporated into the armor. Maybe it could of gone on the shoulder missile pods or on one of it's leg armor? Quote
sh9000 Posted November 14 Author Posted November 14 The torso should have been angled correctly to better match the original art. https://www.yoyakunow.com/en/robots/24848-dx-chogokin-vf-1s-armored-valkyrie-roy-fokker-special.html Available again at Yoyakunow. Quote

I don't think it can turn that much. I ordered one from Mercari/Neokyo. First time using them. If I had known it would be available again on Yakakunow, I would of ordered from them instead. Quote
sh9000 Posted November 14 Author Posted November 14 I'm talking about the positioning of the torso and camera placement. Quote

derex3592 Posted November 14 Posted November 14 those GIANT hands....LOL!!!! Looks good though. If not for tarriffs I would pull the trigger as well. Quote
rsvictor1976 Posted November 14 Posted November 14 I'm surprised they actually had one. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1316372823&ref=list&dispAdult=0&keyword=MACROSS&lang=en Quote
jenius Posted November 15 Posted November 15 As we've seen with the clear mechanic edition, they will eventually have many. Quote

At the end of the page you can see one that already sold out before. Really surprised how quick those popped at mandarake. Edited November 15 by Froy Quote
barurutor Posted November 15 Posted November 15 plenty of listings on yahoo japan auctions as well. Quote
sh9000 Posted November 15 Author Posted November 15 I'm kind of glad I don't need to ship mine out right away and pay the expensive shipping cost. Quote

grogall Posted November 16 Posted November 16 So now that the Roy Focker GBP is out, who would also want the Maximilian Genuis VF-1J with GBP? Since it's would also would include a yet not released Valkerie... Quote
Robin-11 Posted November 16 Posted November 16 I know it's a very tiny detail but i just noticed that all the three armors have the same number, i.e. 1, on the chest. That bothers me. A lot. Quote

Dayan Posted November 18 Posted November 18 Mine arrived last Thursday but I was out on business so finally got to crack it open this morning. Quick box shots. It's actually all in one box, unlike the VF-1 from a few years ago. I tell you what, something about that OG VF-1 that just does it for me. I already have my original on display so might be time to swap it for this one for display purposes for the next year or so. Quote
Alex GS Posted November 18 Posted November 18 surprising is no book style box since is even a special release event, love my Dx 1j armored even more 😁 Quote
