Haha! This is going to be my first DX too, and my first non-Revoltech Macross toy, actually. I currently only own a VF-1J Revoltech. Revoltechs are pretty awesome little buggers.
I was getting antsy waiting for this thing, so I ordered a Yamato SV-51 Nora from Overdrive the other day too. I really wanted to order a VF-1S as well, but the thread about people's shoulders breaking scared me off. Then I remembered that I have a Hasegawa 1/72 VF-1S Strike Battroid kit that I purchased years ago, so I started building that yesterday after years of being on modeling hiatus... but I digress.
