I'm still hoping for that one last 2018 HMR PO surprise ...maybe for August? Maybe a DYRL N-Ger to go up against the SuperO coming out next month?
-
I think it just means this "first edition" will be the only release with a tampo printed fighter display stand and a fancy slip sleeve cover....if you look at the pic....later releases will probably just be the box without the extra stand box....very similar to what they did to the HMR -1S Fokker.....except this time everyone gets the stand that orders on July 27th ans it all fits neatly in one box.... ...the other comparable release would be the HM VF-1A Kakizaki...on that one, ordering the VF-1A Kaki also got you a fancy box to "store" your Skull Squadron

At this point in the VF-1's PT Toy evolution, I think only the most hard-core collectors would be interested in any more 1/55 re-issues....any reissue now would be a blatant money grab fueled by a 100% notstalgic mental fog....with that said, I would be all in if anyone ever released an upscaled 1/55....and by upscaled, I would need for it to be full-blown Jumbo Machinder sized!
-
Some of us will keep to the collector's code on this one!
-
Just an acknowledgement of when and how the PT VF-1 journey started....36 years ago.......RESPECT!
-
The only other precedent to this is the HMR Fokker -1S.....the initial PO opened up for about 5 days where you could get it with the special display stand, then the regular release w/o the special display stand opened up.....but that release was a websclusive for both editions...... So far this seems to just be one PO date and if you order it on the 27th, you get the special box and the special fighter mode stand.....let's hope this doesn't get screwed up somehow.... Maybe future 1/48 DX VF-1's will not include the special stand....just the regular stand?
-
Assuming they are including the missiles (red-tipped?)....the only other accessories we know of so far are the clown hands, back pack antenna, intake covers, and side covers....is it possible there still might be some undisclosed option parts? I'm thinking HMR-style shortened wings attachment, Battroid Mode pilot seat, different angle head lasers.....magic hands?
-
Possibly the elimination of the special fighter stand and box cover/sleeve available only wihen Pre-ordering on July 27th?
-
Based on the HUD detail....looks like they went TV-style on the cockpit....could still be a hybrid version....need more pics....
-
I'd buy one....until then I'm good for now.... I wonder if Bandai will make it a double extra Merry Xmas with one last HMR PO?
-
You're good.....for now
-
If by renewal you include a smaller scaled version of practically the same thing....probably high....
-
Seems the antenna is not integrated. No mention of any extra options like the attachable seat thru the neck that was part of the Yamato options parts. Wonder if there are any other surprises?
-
Seems like it does. Does anyone recall how the initial PO for the HMR Fokker that included the stand was handled? I think basically it was 2 separate PO dates....but not sure...
-
Clown hands also included....but look pre-posed
-
So is the special packaging and fighter base available via PO at any retailer or straight from Tamashii shop only? Reminds me of what they did on the HMR Fokker -1S
-
Only an imbecile wouldn't understand why a business would not want to "bury" their only competition. No consumer would want that. I sure wouldn't.

Welcome to the motherfrikin' 80's.....but I really didn't mean to type "frikin"..
-
Yes, but now you know how inadequate the Bandai 1/48 DX really is....
-
Yeah, Weird Science had the sizing issue right all along too....
-
You know that's a 1/48 Yamato, right? The point is I would have preferred a DX VF-1 that would have been looking down at my MPP-10.... Third Party guys.....you're our only hope!
-
Kind of what Toynami's been doing with their 1/100 line....
-
Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Nope...not even close.... -
Wonder when we will see a proto for the Booster....may be a long wait if they concentrate on the 1/60 OWL armor release first... I hope the stand replicates the line art......at least the piece that directly connects to the booster.....including the platform or even a separate release would be epic...
