@Lolicon Those stand look great! Will they also hold the 1:48 DX series? especially the ones holding more then one Valk...?
-
Ok thanks! Thought I had a misprint!? Since its a TV version I guess it's correct...
-
I have a question to my Roy. The yellow circle on the backpack is white on mine, although in this picture from the Tamaschi web site its clearly showing yellow... Am I missing something?
-
I'm sure Bandai got there inspiration from this picture for all the detailing... When I bought my first Yamato and Super Strike set back in 2003, I liked the model but the lack of printing put me off! I inspected the model and then filed it away in my closet. That Bandai went a little overboard is honestly fine by me, at least they looks impressive right out of the box.
-
Thanks, not my fault that it's incomplete, after all what happened to this? Bandai is such a Teese....
-
Skull! ☠️☠️🍻🍻🍻☠️☠️ Just Getting one of each, makes for a pretty big pile.....
-
I'll take one, but am now complete! And happier then a 🐷 in 💩... Next Mechanic Edition in November/December 🤗
-
I'm sure the second release is imminent, since this was there faste's selling model! Maybe the will release it as a complete set with Strike Parts (Mechanic Edition), Missiles. and the Armour that they teases us with three years ago... DHL just sent a message the my Roy Focker Special is actually arriving today... 🤗
-
In space, no body see's your colour... 👾
-
So I'm receiving my VF-1S Roy Focker Special on Friday, I was wandering is this the TV or Movie version, or does it really mater? Was there any differences between the two... Bandai released the TV Super Parts almost at the same time as this Valk. So it would indicate its a TV version.
-
Any one else want a Big Bandai Valkyrie? 🤗
-
So I came across this picture today, but not sure when it was taken... Is there a 1:55 VF-1D?
-
Thanks, sorry my English isn't perfect I was actually wandering what other accessories Bandai Spirit could make out of pictures from the movie or TV series that have not been realized yet!? I guess your mention of the Thunder Hammer or the atmospheric booster would be two... But are they canon?
-
Thanks for your link! I found one for 39,000 yen brand new from a dealer in Ginza! So thanks for the link! so other then the Mechanic Edition I'm almost complete... Looking back at all the release date there was nothing presented in 2022!? Hope they make up for it next year with D.Y.R.L. anniversary coming up next year! I was looking at all the accessories I scored, was there ever any accserory released from another company that Bandai Spirits hasn't covered yet? I dd get the Yamato strike set with the mechanic detail back in 2003, but was there anything else for the VF-1's? I did se some line drawings of add-ons but nothing as models. Just asking since we can never have too many accessories! 😜

So I made it back home all safe & sound! Sadly even after scouring three cities, I wasn't able to find a VF-1S Roy Focker Edition yet, but did find three movie strike parts.This morning I unboxed the first one, VF-1D, which I really liked for the colour! I can only say I'm more then pleased with what Bandai Spirits has done with the series! I do have the first Yamato VF-1A and a Strike Pack from which I bought in 2003, but these is a completely different league! I then unboxed the VF-1A HAYAO KAKIZAKI and added the movie strike parts. Since I never assembled any of these it took me over an hour just to figure out how to align everything, watching Macross DYRL in the background...😜. I then opened the VF-1J with the Armored parts! Which is something I never had before in my collection even back when I had my Chunky Monkey's back in 1984/85. It's a massive model and although the print is a little overdone, still one hell of a model! I was able to place 2 pre-orders for the Mechanical Edition, so anxiously awaiting those November/December. I'm Sure when the next release of the roy Focker is announced the First edition will be more readily available! but we will see... All in all a good haul since I started in Osaka where almost everything was available only having found the Movie Strike parts on my last day in Tokyo! Then having to scramble to find hard case storage units which would fit the lot, Ikea Japan too the rescue... Bought two large ones with covers and was able to package these and my Amiibo haul up for my luggage allotment I was able to take on the plane. Great thing that our Airport is busy dealing with Oktoberfest so I was able to clear the customs area with out having to pay anything! 🥵! All in All a very expensive trip but well worth it after the pandemic crap we have had to go through the last three years!
-
So I wander if the Mechanic Edition strike parts come with the four colour roundels for the different Skull pilots like the regular version?
-
It was revenge shopping!... My Mother gave away my 1:55 Chunky Monkey collection in the early 1990's since she thought, I don't kneed them any more Incl. a VT-1 (Super Osterich) & VE-1 (Elintseeker) 😪 😢 😭. She past away about three years ago 😰, And I inherited a small fortune.... So making up for past deeds 🥵
-
Yep, and Movie Super Parts...
-
So Finale able to get to Japan, This is two days work, hunting for DX series in Osaka... Not bad I think!?

" I'm trying to "catalog" all of the 1/55 Skull One releases (minus the GBP) and how to identify them. I checked out AnyMoom (hence the pics) put I'm still not clear on exactly how to identify each one (especially if they're not boxed). Can you guys help. Let's start with what I think I know (In release order). Questions about color, etc are in red." Having myself started collecting the Macross 1/55 toys in the 80's, incl. VT-1 & VE- 1, which sadly my mother gave away since she thought I never needed them again, sometime 1990-91, I re-purchased the 7 Bandai re-releases in the early 2000's and still have them! The colors are different for the Roy Focker versions with Super Parts against the single box variant which is a shade of gray... Now I'm going to start collecting the DX Chogokin 1/48 which will be really expensive, but since my mother who sadly passed away about two years ago leaving me with a large inheritance, I'm going to get revenge....
-
So probably good to get five of these to make this model look good? https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/3/5/8/966358-27767-57-pristine.jpg
-
Some of these really look like stickers, but i'm game.... Anyone know a good european dealer with fair price's for this? -
Although 1/48 seems to be dead, I wonder why Yamato never released a VE-1 or VT-1 in that scale? I had the Bandai 1/55 ones back in the early 80's and all my friends who knew anything about the series wanted one of each. Maybe Arcadia-Yamato will surprise us on the 50'th anna....?

I guess no one was interested!

Its looking more like August, from what I can tell from the Japanese sites!
