Old Man

I'd pay at least that much.

I guess I'm not a bonafide MW member then . Anybody out there have some 1/72 decals they can spare???

To be completely honest, I haven't had the time or space to display it yet. When it first came out I wasn't a fan, and thought the thing looked like it was launching cans of shaving cream . However, I later realized that it lends to some very dynamic and awesome looking poses, so I bit the bullet and snagged one. Now I can't wait to get a larger display case to showcase this badboy!

Actually, I did just that! I originally picked up the 1J Hikaru w/ Armor Parts because I really liked the GBP-1S and grey goggle combo. Later, I decided I couldn't live without the Web Exclusive Armor, so I broke down and bought one at a premium (still kicking myself for not getting one during the original release). Then I decided that I wanted to display a DYRL grey goggle 1J with the fired missiles effect GBP-1S AND an SDFM white goggle 1J with the rest of the Vermillion Squardron. I lucked out on the last 1J Hikaru from Hobby Search at an amazing (I think) $85 shipped...AND it was the renewal version with the clear canopy and new hip lock mechanism! Now I'm a happy camper .

Yes please!!!

I concur wholeheartedly .

Has anyone received a shipment confirmation from HLJ yet???

Lol, I was hoping someone would post that clip! Thanks for the laugh, UN Spacy . All jokes aside, this thing is drop dead GORGEOUS!!!

Can you say "pretty bird"?

Most definitely! I welcome any other iteration of the V2 VF-1, including the Dark Bird and U.N. Headquarters Guard. Even though I have my beloved 1/48 Minmay Guard Kurt Customs, I would love to see V2 VF-1 versions of them from Yamato as well. I'd be all over most of the non-canon customs that have been attempted by Yamato in 1/48 scale (e.g. Low Vis VF-1A), and it'd be great to see something that hasn't been done yet.

Toynami's 1/100 Macross VF-1 figures.

I had my wife's friend in Japan order one for me.

FINALLY!!! I had pretty much forgotten about this thing. So how long are we gonna have to wait on the Glaug? Is there any chance we'll get a Queadluun-Rau???

This thing is looking better and better every time I see it.

Absolutely BADA$$!!!

I agree that the canopy windows are supposed be purple, but shouldn't they be more reddish purple than what is shown on the prototype?

I HAVE to watch the movie SOON! Does anyone know if it's available to view anywhere, or do I need to by the Blu-ray?

That is BUNK!

+1...I'm in for at least 6 sets of each.

Beautiful work as always, Kurt!

I'm sure this has been answered in previous posts, but does this thing definitively include a stand like the YF-29???

Preorders are up at HLJ: http://www.hlj.com/product/ymt00225

Wow...tough crowd...

Wow...that's good to know. I still have mine in the box, but I was planning on having her posed next to her Q-rau as well.
