Is it me or all 1/48 yamato valks have that hairline crack on the upper thigh just below the engine intake covers ! basically, all 1/48 valks have this hairline crack on the there, but this is the first valks that use color plastic, not in white, and there have a white painting on it, so, you can see the crack very clear. if want to deduce this without adding puddy, must paint some white color inside the gap, then do some polishing works on the surface, finally re-paint it..... so much work to do...but worth it~!

I'm checking my Hikaru VF-1J and it's also has the new pilot sculpt (i.e. different from the Hikaru 1A, Max 1A, and Roy 1S) with flight stick in hand. Thanks for the pics 柿崎速雄. yes, all TV style VF-1 must come with a new sculpt pilot, because the cockpit design are different from the movie version VF-1, yamato have sense of it but anyway, I must replace a movie pilot and modify it to become a TV pilot(just like I done on the MAX -1A before), because the sculpt of the head have much better looking then the TV pilot. and this original MAX one I will repaint it in green and leave that to the CF-1A...

some brief discription: basic made with two color plastic, white and blue. most of the parts made with blue plastic and paint white on, except the little leg that made with white and paint the blue on. there have few point that I not like very much: 1. the head laser gun haven't any painting. so whole in blue color , feel odd with it. 2. the cockpit cover in battroid mode still make with clear parts and come with a ugly, blur panel line on it..... 3. I really don't like the color of the blue plastic, I must do a re-paint works on it. 4. the max pilot color too "milky" EDIT: 5. yes, I forgot to say is, the antenna and the back-pack holding clip are in white... very odd~ but I still happy to own this~ P.S. I don't take the shot with FP set , because everyone see the product shot of the product introduction before, so I save it.

finally got it~

ha ha, that's really ugly, maybe you can use another point of view to look at this stuff~ OK, I stood a few feet away from my monitor and did a handstand. I realized that, no matter which way I look at it, that thing is ugly. Hey, I'm not tryin' to be mean. I'm just playin' around. I can appreciate if you have some sentimental attatchment to it. The last thing I wanna do is upset Mr. Kakizaki because I know he's a true fan. It dosn't matter~ everyone stand on their own. it's won't hurt anyone if you just don't like something. everyone have their own point of view & I respect your's

why say can't tranfrom? this really can process a "perfect transformation"

ha ha, that's really ugly, maybe you can use another point of view to look at this stuff~

ha ha, this really ugly, but very funny at all~ I have a special feeling about this , because I see this toy before I know what is macross, but very interest in it. maybe this thing give me the first impact of "transfromation" very impressive for a 6 years old boy~

hey~ kanata, I really want this, how to pay you? I live in Hong Kong, do you accept pay pal? thank you very much~!

do any one remember this ? this is a simple transformation VF-1J , I own this at 1982 and I was a six years old boy the transform system fully not follow the original design, the head just have upper side half, the backpack can't move ,and the tail vertical wing is a rotate part of the inner side of the leg. very funny~ I don't have it anymore.... but still a sweet memories forever~

i SIMPLY A hong kong~

yes, not sold out in this short period. I think you still can get it when you come. maybe you can asked me for some guiding~ such as where to buy

oh~ god, good to hear that...

Thanks for the info but guess it wont help since they are ot selling online. Anyway Im from Singapore so with shipping and all. It would add up to US$145 which is like 250sg As someone else pointed out. Super Valks are selling in the lion city for about $285 so I think there is some saving. ps* You should advice the shop to go E-commerce!" $285 USD? I think you can use the money to buy a ticket and fly to HONGKONG, buy all macross toys you want at one travelling , can save many many money if you buy full set 1/48 VF-1~

Hey Thast cheap even with shipping Which shop are you talking about? Does it sell online? many thanks the shop at TAI PO N.T. HONG KONG, no online store service. but I think the total price have not much different after add the shipping fee form HK to US..... for VEX , the shipping fee for a super 1J from US to HK is $41 usd total $122+$41=$ 163, i think it's just the same if the helper charge 10 % for handling fee. and one more thing, if you find someone at hongkong for help, and pay by paypal, the helper must count a little bit more, because the paypal system charge handling fee for the service, and the exchange rate from USD -> HKD is lower than than standard, around 1USD to 7.5 HKD so, maybe get a higher price finally.... this just good incase you have a friend having a HK touring

Wow...that's very cheap. Get one for me! I wish I was in HK. *sigh* ha ha, but I wish I was in JAPAN~ sometimes, some common cheap stuff in japan will become special expensive treasure in HK , I hate this~!

the max 1J RELEASE DAY at HK have been confirm , 1-2 april good day~ and I pre-order one from the shop~ $980HKD , around $122.7 usd
