Actar Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Don't know whether we need a separate topic for this, but... Yes, the VF Hi-Metal VF-1S Valkyrie with Strike Parts - November release, 6,500 Yen Quote
JET7 Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) ohh yes!.. time to break the piggy bank again.. my collects are longing for somethin new Edited July 22, 2010 by JET7 Quote
JET7 Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 im hoping somebody will post a clearer pics of this baby.. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Glad I waited, this is the only 1/100 VF-1 I plan to buy. Well, I'll also get Hikaru's VF-1S Strike if it's available and not an exclusive. We need clearer scans Quote
eriku Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Sweet! I've always got room for more Hi Metals. Quote
Graham Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Would prefer Hikaru's VF-1S Strike Valk, but I may end up getting this. Graham Quote
JET7 Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 im more excited on seeing the head sculpt will look like.. i do hope it resembles the yamato or revoltech (non-transforming) head .. head shot please head shot Quote
VFTF1 Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Most definitely happy to get this. Still waiting on my Hikaru, but got Basara. Roy will be a welcome addition. Pete Quote
Bri Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Haven't been convinced about the 1/100 line so far but this one looks too good to pass up. Quote
jenius Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Would prefer Hikaru's VF-1S Strike Valk, but I may end up getting this. Graham It may not be next in the queue but I suspect you'll get your wish eventually. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 It may not be next in the queue but I suspect you'll get your wish eventually. I should not say this, but I hope it's not going to be an exclusive!!! Quote
stormshadow0621 Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Hmm... I always have a VF-1J and VF-1S in all the scales I collect (1/60 v1, 1/60 v2, 1/48, 1/55, revoltech) Guess I might need to get this too, now where to find the extra budget... Quote
Agent-GHQ Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 The itsy-bitsy tiny size is quite discouraging to add in my collection! Quote
Funkenstein Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 This was expected. What I would love to see would be the SDP-1 version. That would be a total surprise. Quote
jenius Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 I should not say this, but I hope it's not going to be an exclusive!!! Excellent... now I know who to blame if it is... muah haha. [sarcasm] OMG If this doesn't have individually removeable missiles on the super parts I am so not going to buy this partsforming piece of crap. [/sarcasm] Quote
Tking22 Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Hell yeah I love my hi-metal VF-1J, I skipped on those fugly VF-19's so I gotta pick me up one of these, and here's to hoping they release some fast packs for our Hikaru's!!!! Quote
Midi_Amp Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 Officially my early Christmas present! Hoping that the strike pack is removable... And is my eyes deceiving me? The gunpod in that fighter mode seems to be positioned lower than the VF-1J, making it pointing straight instead of nose pointing. Seems those slits are clear indication of the strike pack. Quote
Graham Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 Hell yeah I love my hi-metal VF-1J, skipped on I really regret not buying those fugly absolutely gorgeous VF-19's so I gotta pick me up one of these, and here's to hoping they release some fast packs for our Hikaru's!!!! There, corrected for you. Graham Quote

Graham Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 Gotta say, that VF-1S Strike is looking nice (not as nice as the Blazer tho!). Graham Quote
JET7 Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 thanks for posting a better pic grand cannon, im speechless,cant wait.. budget budget budget Quote
Tking22 Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 There, corrected for you. Graham Sorry Graham it seems as if you made a typo, what I meant to say was I saved money by not buying those butt-fugly VF-19's . Quote
ae_productions Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 I was trying to just keep my VF-1's to the 1:48 scale... But that is one damn nice looking toy! I head they're actually a larger scale than 1/100. Although, at that size, it probably doesn't make much of a difference. :-) Quote
Midi_Amp Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 (edited) Big pic! Thanks... Worried about the backpack being loose if it's not locked with the extra strike pack weight. So it's either the backpack going to weigh very very light or Bandai put an extra locking mechanism on the VF-1S (please be the latter). Edited July 24, 2010 by Midi_Amp Quote
Chronocidal Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 (edited) Umm... silly question, but what's the hot pink monster I see underneath the VF-1S in that ad? And back on topic, Wewt! I doubt I'll get many hi-metal VF-1s (if any), but I might pick this one up. The backpack connection does worry me a bit, but I'm impressed they actually went the extra mile and put the booster internals in there. Edited July 24, 2010 by Chronocidal Quote
Tack Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 Based on the pictures, it seems that the strike 1S lacks the standard stickers/tampo markings that we are all so used to: eg the Jolly rogers on the strike packs, the "UN SPACY" on the legs and the "001" on the nose cone. Note that the 1/100 1J had absolutely no stickers or decals except for the macross kite insignia on the nose and wings Quote
eriku Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 I seems unreasonable to me to expect "no-step" "beware of blast" and "intake" tampo printing or decals of any kind on a 1/100 valk toy. They'd be microscopic. Quote
anime52k8 Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 I seems unreasonable to me to expect "no-step" "beware of blast" and "intake" tampo printing or decals of any kind on a 1/100 valk toy. They'd be microscopic. yeah, but the big fat "001" on the side of the nose and the Jolly Roger on the tails should be a given. also, maybe it's just the picture but the boosters look like they point out and up really dramatically. Quote
Horatio Positronic Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 I thought I'd be content with my Hi-Metal VF-1J and leaving the rest of these alone... I can't help myself, I'm pre-ordering the VF-1S strike. Quote
jenius Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 Umm... silly question, but what's the hot pink monster I see underneath the VF-1S in that ad? Seriously, is that just spill over of the Koenig ad or is there a Monster product coming out? Quote
eriku Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 yeah, but the big fat "001" on the side of the nose and the Jolly Roger on the tails should be a given. Well, who's to say those markings wont be on the production toy? Quote
