Oh, but you must! I've actually had some 1/48 stuff in storage for years, untouched. I recently got some more 1/48s and opened them and I really think they are my favorite VF-1s. They have a great presence, are the 1st perfect transformation VF-1s (and the process is very simple and effective), have a lot of features unseen on any other releases and there are all those awesome paint schemes! You need at least one!
