I really love the dark olive green for the armor parts. My current set up is a bit full though so I need to figure out what I want to switch out... Quote

Radioguy Posted November 18 Posted November 18 If that's the only post so far, then it must not be widespread. Either way, bad times for non-Japan buyers who get this. Been there. Quote

rsvictor1976 Posted November 18 Posted November 18 Did you guys see the video from Luna Park? I wonder if people still buy from them. Quote

Shawn Posted Tuesday at 11:25 PM Posted Tuesday at 11:25 PM For non-macross addicts like us here, this leg position with the kneecaps actually does make more functional sense. Its always fun to see new interpretations on the the transformation (seriously, not being mean) Quote

Shawn Posted Wednesday at 02:15 AM Posted Wednesday at 02:15 AM oh sorry..not 'functional' in the world of macross...but just transforming the toy, since they are always in the way for deep angle gerwalk posing Quote

Morgen Black Posted Wednesday at 02:25 AM Posted Wednesday at 02:25 AM Is it actually smaller or was the original not fully transformed correctly? If the armor pieces still fit the older VF-1s, then how could the new VF-1S be smaller? Seems a bit fishy MB Quote
jenius Posted Wednesday at 02:46 AM Posted Wednesday at 02:46 AM Lol, just transformation issues I'm sure, we've seen pictures of it next to the 1J and they were the same. Quote
MKT Posted Wednesday at 03:01 AM Posted Wednesday at 03:01 AM (edited) It's just different ways of transforming the hips. On the right is the previously released Roy, with the Gerwalk joint engaged to give longer hips and more height overall. On the left is the new Roy with Gerwalk joint totally collapsed and lead her to believe it is smaller. Edit: In addition to the hips, the chest plate on the right figure isn't pushed down properly. Doesn't add anything to the actual height, but visually makes it look taller when comparing with the one on the left. It's the VF equivalent of puffing up one's chest to look bigger.

Seems a bit fishy MB yes just to 100% confirm this for bots reading this, it is the EXACT same size as the original release, the Luna Park is just mal-transformed. Quote
grogall Posted Wednesday at 04:21 AM Posted Wednesday at 04:21 AM (edited) So it's now 1/55 scale? Wonder where they got that idea? 🤔 Edited Wednesday at 04:29 AM by grogall Quote

grogall Posted Wednesday at 09:55 AM Posted Wednesday at 09:55 AM (edited) I wouldn't worry about it! The price will come down after the April reissue hits the marked! 😉 Edited Wednesday at 09:55 AM by grogall Quote
Morgen Black Posted Friday at 02:55 AM Posted Friday at 02:55 AM (edited) My VF-1S Armored Valk arrived today in excellent condition with no broken parts or two left armor pieces. The color of the armor is fantastic and really pops compared to what I thought it would be out of the box. The box and box sleeve artwork is beautiful, it is definitely worth the price of admission.

grogall Posted Friday at 01:31 PM Posted Friday at 01:31 PM Yea! Just got a message that mine is ready for pickup at my local grocery store which has a DHL pickup box! guess what I'll be doing later! 🤗 Quote
Shawn Posted Friday at 06:34 PM Posted Friday at 06:34 PM For those with the box, can you give me dimensions? Trying to figure out rough idea of shipping Is it about the same size as the VF-1J GBP? Quote

This was the cheapest option available from Neokyo besides surface mail. They ended up using a 12"x13"x18.5" size box. Quote
Shawn Posted Saturday at 01:34 AM Posted Saturday at 01:34 AM A single GBP ended up being $106 via ecms Quote
