Go ahead and get it!!! Bought the VF-1D when it first hit the streets (more than a year ago, I think it was January 2009).
It's awesome valk, no single flaw, the shoulders don't have a single crack.
Don't care about Max's exclusive. I'm only going to buy Hikaru's VF-1J and Roy's VF-1S to be in scale with Yamato's 1/100 König Monster.
This exclusive tiny little piece of sh it will cost the same as a 1/60 VF-1 Yamato without Fast Packs!!!
Easy pass, Yamato's 1/60 v2 VF-1 is the KING. It sucks for the people that wanted a small affordable VF-1 collection.
Get Hikaru's DYRL? VF-1S Strike first (the aniversary reissue with flashlight has the corrected shoulders)!!!
I would then get Roy's VF-1S Low Viz (it's getting harder to find, it's sold out at many places).
If money is not an issue, get them all
The problem is that it's still a prototype, and prototypes are usually larger than the final scaled down version. The Queadluun-Rau prototype was gigantic compared to the released toy!!
I'm getting the HDP kit and if Yamato decides to release it as a toy I will get it too
