Anubis Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 (edited) I couldn't believe my eyes, but look what's listed on HLJ: 1/48 VF-1A Production Color Sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet. Claims August release. Edited May 9, 2005 by Anubis Quote
NSJ23 Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 (edited) Damn! I have to get this. I know some of the dealers here will have it cheaper, but I still put in my pre-order just in case. Edited May 9, 2005 by NSJ23 Quote
lt.actionjackson Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 This had better not be a joke or someone is going to get hurt. Otherwise, I quote Deekin: Huzzah! Now we just have to make sure Godizlla and Kensei don't buy all of them up! Quote
mechaninac Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 Hot damn! I'm so getting this release. This baby and a GBP armor will make my small collection complete. Quote
Hurin Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 SWEET MERCIFUL CRAP! I'm more excited about this than any adult male has any right to be. Quote

Roy's Blues Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 HAHA! Great news! Guess I won't need to make a custom now! Quote
Zentrandude Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 yamato needs to update their site for all 3 locations. has no info on the cf on it. Quote
NSJ23 Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 yamato needs to update their site for all 3 locations. has no info on the cf on it. The yamato site has always been IMO the last place to find new news. Quote
Hurin Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 In the past, HLJ has been sorta a "gold standard" for what is going to actually make it to release, right? I mean, have they ever listed a valk that didn't eventually make it to store shelves? Did they ever list 1/60 Fast Pack kits? H Quote
Ghadrack Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 Nice! Thanks for the heads up, I think you just made a lot of people's day Quote
Anubis Posted May 9, 2005 Author Posted May 9, 2005 (edited) yamato needs to update their site for all 3 locations. has no info on the cf on it. Hell, they're still highlighting the vaporware VF-0S on Yamato's site. This is really quite a surprise. I was starting to think they weren't going to release the CF, but if HLJ is taking pre-orders, I'll believe it. If they weren't sure then there would have been a page for it, but no preorder button.

mantisfists Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 (edited) Wow....that's kinda out of the blue, isn't it? Had anybody heard any news on this being released prior to this post? I'm glad it's coming out (even if my wallet's not too thrilled) but it's just a little suprising that nobody'd heard a thing about it until now. *edit* I guess releasing this now WOULD make sense with the GBP coming out and all....do you think they'll be packaging them together?

They'll probably still release the Armor only, and the 1J+armor. Releasing the CF might convince more people to buy the armor too. Really have an armored flight group (or squadron in certain members' cases ) Edited May 9, 2005 by Anubis Quote
Hurin Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 I personally intend to buy enough of these to make the production run profitable for Yamato. Seriously, there would be nothing quite so bad-ass looking as a Roy 1S and Hikaru 1A flanked by 3-4 Cannon Fodders. Or maybe go TV version and make it a Super Roy 1S with Hikaru at the controls. I'm assuming that these will have the DYRL 1A head. . . but that's a minor quibble. I'm more excited about this release than any Yamato Macross toy thus far. Probably because it also signals that Yamato hasn't given up on Macross entirely. . . and the 1/48 VF-1 line will live at least a bit longer (perhaps even involving more re-releases). H Quote

fulcy Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 Well, I guess kensei has the chance to order up the extra, what, 20 valks he 'needs' Quote

bigkid24 Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 DAMN! VE, Tamin, or Soze, I need 30 of these! And that's all I have to say about that. Quote
eugimon Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 damn.. everytime I think I'm done getting these things there's another one to get. Quote
aaajin Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 darn it....looking real deep into the wallet....see some dust, keep it back into the pocket...and - sigh Quote
zeo-mare Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 well this is great news i was under the imprssion that yamato was getting out of the macross buisness, i am definetly picking this up, i really hope they reissue the fast packs as well. chris Quote
Radd Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 Rock on. I'm seriously considering two of these if Yamato doesn't release a version of the GBP armour with a 1J, and Hikaru 1Js are hard to find. One will get a FAST pack treatment, the other gets GBP. However, if there is a 1J pack, I do need one to round out my collection. Quote
Majestic Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 WOOHOO! Can't wait! Here's to a fast pack rerelease as well.. Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 YESS~!!!! God man I only hope this highhlights a possibility for some angel birds and.... MAX TYPE TV VF-1A!!! Quote
lt.actionjackson Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 YESS~!!!!God man I only hope this highhlights a possibility for some angel birds and.... MAX TYPE TV VF-1A!!! Well, as long as they're still using the molds, they should consider a run of DYRL Kakizaki's so that I can finally complete the Skull squadron. Heck, make it a limited edition so they won't sit around on shelves all over the place. BTW, do we know if this CF release is a full run or limited? Quote
