That's what I thought too. I thought it has more bluish tint than green. Thanks by the way, Lolicon, for posting the comparison pics.

True. Question, do you prefer the TV color ones or the DYRL ones? For me, I kinda like the TV color one even though I don't have it. But somehow my eyes is already adjusted on the DYRL ones.

Me too. Only my Hikaru VF-1J I like in bare Fighter mode. So classy and sexy.

I'm not sure that's their standard now to include the stands. Probably they're just gonna do another limited run for the first 20 preorders within Japan. But I think that's too much because with VF-4G they just offered Gunpod. And how big the box going to be with the stand included?

Agree. I mean, for the Yamato bundle prices that's going on in second-market? The new price is not so bad. It's almost the same, if not, it's cheaper. And you will get no shoulder problem for one thing. But color-wise, that's a different issue.

Arcadia is funny because that's what they're doing now. For sure they're tracking second-market prices and if they know that most people are willing to pay for $150-180 just for the Strike/Super Packs, consider the VF-1 that came with it is just an added bonus.

If panel lining will add cool factor on the toy, why not? Just make sure you topcoat it to lock the paint. And post some pics when you're done.

I know what you mean. the arm missile I will understand. But don't you think it's kinda awkward to mount the off-white Reactive Missile holder underneath the pink hued VF-1 wing.

I agree with you here, David. As much as I would like to have only the Packs, it won't justify for me to buy a set just to get the packs to match my Arcadia 1S Hikaru's and to dispose the Roy 1S that came with it. I should probably just wait and see if ever they will going to release a separate set and just sell the Yamato Packs that I have loose. Or if there's no separate release down the road, then I will just repaint those white arm pack missiles and the reactive missiles. The only thing I fear is that Arcadia might release the other VF-1's with Packs (looking back at my Hikaru's VF-1's).

+1 Even if I only have VF-11C.

We'll never know. But that doesn't stop us from hoping. And if that happens, Bandai just gave Spanner a whole lot of headache.

I wish Bandai will make a DX versions of those Sheryl and Ranka Itasha's VF-25's and YF-29's. And Minmay's VF-1S Itasha too.

Itasha DX VF-1 with Minmay [The Concert Outfit] version please. And I'm still waiting for Bandai to release those Itasha VF-25 versions of Sheryl and Ranka in DX form.

Nah. I can still control myself on Alto's YF-29. Btw, Saburo, is that the Arcadia's VF-1J form GBP set or Yamato's? Oooooh. UBE love!

That looks awesome Xigfrid.

+1

Hahaha! But the question is, if ever they decide to make one VF-1's, which VF-1 (and I mean 'only one' since you said 'only one!') you would like to be made? It can't be Hikaru only or Roy only or Max or Millia only (even Kakizaki ) or the Cannon Fodders by their own, right?

Sad to say that this thing is going on now from time to time. I just remember watching something like this within the Bay Area from today's morning news. And most of them are caught on videos. Packages from USPS, Amazon, etc. People will just walk literally to your porch and steal all the packages that left by the doorstep. And here I am remembering my first impression the first time I moved here, 'Hey, it's probably more safe here since most of the houses doesn't have tall gates and fences like we used to in the Philippines.' And that is also the reason why now I always ship mine to my workplace just to keep my mind at ease esp when I use HLJ's PW. Don't want to lose everything in a snap.

Nice. Now they're showing how the 5 part pieces combined for the leg armor. And looking at the comparison pics with the VF-1's, it's huge. I also like the missile details on the chest.

Question. So it's just the missile on the arm pack and the Reactive Missiles from the Super/Strike Packs are somehow the concern if it's going to match the recent Arcadia 'white', right? But the rest of the missiles that came with the default Valkyrie is already using the same Arcadia 'white'. And does is still have the same color as the previous DYRL packs, right? Coz it's too hard to tell on the photos provided by Arcadia.

So yeah. I just checked mine.All the while I thought the Yamato TV color were the same as Arcadia whites. If the Arcadia has more 'pink' hue to it, from what I noticed under the lights we have here at home, the Yamato TV has a little bit of 'yellow' hue going on it. And I know I bought the Roy I have only displayed from the previous owner. But as I look closer on the Yamato one, not all the whites are equal. Like the shoulder part is whiter than the chest area. The upper arm is whiter than the lower arm part. But in short, the TV one has a little bit of yellow hue. For some reasons, I kinda dig the Arcadia white more.

I'm at work too. But I will check tonight when I get home to confirm. I both have Yamato TV VF-1S (Roy) and Arcadia DYRL VF-1S (Hikaru).

Wait. It's going to bother you because of the missing thrusters for Gerwalk mode? You know that this is not a 'real' plane, right? j/k

Yeah. That's a good question. But I didn't realize that the small exhaust things on the VF-25 shield connectors were some sort of thrusters. All the while I thought it was just exhaust something. I assumed that the only way to thrust forward is to angle the legs towards the rear ala-semi-fighter-mode mode?

Nope. Actually, you will be surprise how many people really just want the Super/Strike Packs.
