Same here actually. That was my “aha” moment.
-
I agree - it's just personal preference really. I still bought the -31F and -31S in my collection and I like them *almost* as much as the -31A, haha!
-
I think the entire VF-31 series would have been soooo much better if they dropped the forward swept wings altogether.
-
Agree, and the delta wing design makes it one of the best looking Valkyrie in fighter mode as well.
-
Thanks @borgified, I actually checked mine straight away when I saw the pics above with the broken shoulder peg. Thankfully not broken, but scary nonetheless.
-
Yeah sorry I was talking about the 1/48 Yamato missile sets that came with *every* 1/48 valk they released. I have 3 sets of regular missiles and 2 sets of reaction missiles that I hardly ever use anyway. Having recently bought KO VF-171 EX missile sets on Taobao, I won't be surprised if the missile and hands sets will eventually get KO'd. That's why I am buying one set at most, and only if the price is sensible.
-
I think I will just get one for the sake of completeness, if prices are not crazy expensive, just in case they do a missile effects set (ala HMR) for the line later.
-
From the pics it seems like the attachment points on the missile sets are shaped almost identical to the Yamato design. But, knowing Bandai, I am sure the tolerances will just be off *a tiny little bit* so that the Yamato ones (which we probably have many spare sets of) will not work.
-
Thanks @Shizuka the Cat as always for the useful list. I woke up 10 mins ago in panic, but managed to snag 2 from Amazon japan thanks to your link.
-
No early start POs for the -1D yet. Seems like we have to wait until 2am Eastern...
-
I had hoped that the HM-R VF-1D would have the option to detach the cockpit for the scene in episode 2 or 3 when Focker rescued them. But that might have been too much to ask for on a 1/100 scale model. I am still very excited about this release - bring on the HM-R Virgin Road VF-1D, Bandai!!
-
Beware that the quality of the KO isn't on par with the original - there are some differences in the mold/parts and clearance issues. This will also not work with the GBP armor, but I doubt anyone getting a KO will be doing that anyway.
-
Thanks! Alarm set - see you at the PO party
-
Sorry if this has been posted, but when is the PO date for the HMR VF-1D? Thanks!
-
Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Nice haul. What are the known issues with the VF-27? -
I was messing around with the OWL set and the armor rack, and remembered seeing a pic on FB showing that it is also compatible with the original Bandai GBP armor. The instructions of course will not show this, but I was wondering if anyone has that pic or can show me how the GBP should be mounted on it please?
-
Yes that was my first reaction too (dark grey + yellow = urban camo-esque scheme) Not sure which valk's colour scheme will best match this though.
-
I wish my pink-ish VF-1S and VF-1J Arcadia remakes used the same off-white color as the original Yamato versions...
-
I googled for taobao shopping guide, and thought that this page offered a fairly detailed and clean step by step explanation. Take a look and let us know how you get on, but I have only started shopping on TB about 8 months ago, and most of the time the experience had been smooth. Happy shopping! https://www.sassyhongkong.com/sassys-guide-to-taobao-style/

Hi @Sildani, happy to help. I don’t suppose you’ve bought from taobao before then have you?
-
Found them on taobao recently. Sorry not sure if its ok to post links here or not.
-
KO missile set... got two of these
-
I have been wondering the same thing - if the draken can go on the old 31F release with the same set of clips, then in theory someone can make a set of 3D printed clips and we'll be done, no?
-
Wow.... the stack of VF-1A low vis! I see like 7 copies, two still MISB??
-
Thanks! I remember visiting your guide to check the inside of the nosecone on mine to see if it’s v1.1, when I got my 1/48 around 10 years ago!
