1 VF-1 2NV Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I want to know who's buying and what. If your gonna buy, how many? I changed my mind. I'm gonna get one with the FP and another one w/o. I think these are gonna run out fast just like the low viz. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dawg Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I think they should have one with SDFM hands and FPs and the other with DYRL hands and GBP suit. Or include both hands with both releases, but still give the option of buying it with either FP's or GBP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonz Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 i voted vf-1j with FP and i'll get just one set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I voted BOTH. But Yamato is making a BAD decision if they're not going to (eventually) release a GBP Armor set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batou Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Definitely WITH the FP. I'd prefer to swap it out for a GBP system, though. I'm not really too wild about the Hikaru 1J with FP's since this was never featured in the series, but those changes they're making to make them TV-acurate are just too tempting to pass up. I'll probably get it w/ the FP's and transfer them to another valk when possible. Maybe if they ever made a cannon fodder brownie in 1/48 ...

Weaseldancer Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I'll get it with the fast packs. I'd prefer to get with GBP-1 armor but I will take what I can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF-1Guy Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I voted w/ FP. I plan to display the 1J w/o FP and use the FP on my Roy 1S (hope they fit). I know that it's not totally TV accurate (wrong flightsuit, wrong hands, wrong color detail on head, etc) but it's good enough for me! The Hikaru 1S will provide the strike for my display.

DatterBoy Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 My intention is that the 1J is the only 1/48 I get so pretty much anything that comes with it, I'll probably drop for. :dat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appeared in the show or not... once you put FP's on a 1/48, they just don't look as good without them. Also, even if the GBP (GPB? GBS? GPS?) armor comes out, you can just give the TV style packs to your low viz VF-1 or something. However, the way the items are listed at VEX, it seems that the two won't be sold together. Sounds more like HLJ is just doing their own bundled set thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewilen Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Are we sure the TV FAST packs will fit a DYRL Valk? I thought there were some slight differences in the arm sculpts on the Valks and/or packs. As for me: no 1/48 VF-1J. I don't like the head--the chin sticks out too much. If the head was more like the 1/60 head, I'd be sorely tempted to get a 1/48 VF-1J w/o FAST packs--but I'd probably resist as I'd rather spend my money on as complete a line of 1/60 destroids & enemy mecha as my wallet and living space can support.

mechatek Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 As for me: no 1/48 VF-1J. I don't like the head--the chin sticks out too much That's easily fixed with an exacto knife. Voted with FP, the FPs will be handed over to Mr. Low-Vis or Mr. CF, whoever wins the cage match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 I voted w/ FP. I plan to display the 1J w/o FP and use the FP on my Roy 1S (hope they fit). I know that it's not totally TV accurate (wrong flightsuit, wrong hands, wrong color detail on head, etc) but it's good enough for me!The Hikaru 1S will provide the strike for my display. That's exactly what I'm planning as well, get the TV FPs just to put on the Roy VF-1S. I'll also try to order some extra TV type hands and an extra TV type Hikaru pilot figure to make a TV accurate VF-1S Super (remember, Roy never flew the VF-1S Super in the TV series, he died before the FPs came into use). the only other thing that will need changing is the color of the arrows on the head (DYRL is yellow, TV is black).

Chowser Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 preordered mine from VE with no fast packs, I've got an extra set of fast packs right now that aren't doing anything so I will stick them on Hikaru's 1J while waiting for the GBP. ya know what, I wonder if I can stick the other strike cannon on my VF-1S?

NSJ23 Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 I voted for maybe later. I'll get my fast pack's soon and after that all I plan on getting is the 1/48 Hikaru VF-1S. If I have the funds available then I'll try to pick up the VF-1J with Fast Packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 I will go with the FP. I bought 3 of them and I know I will be ordering more of them later anyways. My valks looks too skinny without their armors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etrigan Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 (edited) WITH. Those TV packs are beautiful and canon or not, I'll find a use for them somehow. By the by, thanks for getting those preorders up so quickly Tamim. Edited September 19, 2003 by Etrigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsARCLIGHT Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 With. Tis better to have the option than have no option at all... anyway you might be able to use them on something else later on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit29 Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Without the fast packs for now unless it is confirmed that the FP will fully fit a 1/48 VF-1S. Also will the TV FP kits ever be sold by themselves? Ugh this is going to be a killer in Valkyrie/have to buy my wife a present ratio...

Godzilla Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 I assume the TV Fast Packs will be like the DRYL ones with the hi level of detail, removable panes, etc.? If the Fast packs work on the DRYL valks, my low vis will get it. I should preorder one... but I am in the process of acquiring a squadron of low vis.

niomosy Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Likely with FP's, though I really want the GBP armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiniStar Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Are the FAST packs for the 1/48 scale VF-1J going to be the DYRL design or is Yamato going to make the TV show version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 I'm not purchasing any. I'm waiting until Yamato gets the smarts to release a FAST Pack set that includes the special hand set. It's the reason I purchased only one FAST Pack set though I own two 1/48 Yammies. Come on Yamato, get with the program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe, since the DYRL packs were movie quality, the TV packs will be animefriend quality. So we get laserbeams shooting out of boosters and funky color changing photosensitive external panels, with whole thing being made of silly putty so we can change it's shape at will!

ewilen Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Are the FAST packs for the 1/48 scale VF-1J going to be the DYRL design or is Yamato going to make the TV show version? TV show. For a summary of the differences between the TV and Movie versions, see http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...t=ST&f=4&t=1295 Compare with the pics in this thread from the old forums: http://www.macrossworld.com/cgi-bin/mwf/ik...;t=7237;hl=vf1j Looks like the arm pieces match the description but the leg armor has nozzles, not a slot.

Hurricane29 Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Why not, throw in the packs while your at it, but I would rather have it bundled with the GBP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdr Fokker Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Just placed a preorder with Tamim over at Twin Moons for a -1J with FAST Packs. I absolutely love the Hikaru VF-1J (my favorite VF-1 variant and paint scheme) and TV FAST Packs are an added bonus! (I'll probably slap 'em on my Focker -1S instead, though...)
