One as standalone and one with TV Fast Packs. -K Quote
Myersjessee Posted September 30, 2003 Author Posted September 30, 2003 Thanks Kevin....is the one with TV fastpacks identical to the stand alone one? How are the TV fastpacks different then the DYRL FPs? Quote
ewilen Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 (edited) TV fast packs are different color from DYRL packs. Arm armor has a different shape. No strike cannon. Info should be in one of these threads... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...&t=1266&hl=fast http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...&t=1274&hl=fast http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...4&t=780&hl=fast http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...4&t=701&hl=fast Edited September 30, 2003 by ewilen Quote
Agent ONE Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 A funny thought... (I am sure this has been brought up before) Big West has never approved of a non-canon VF for production, with the exception of the Hikaru VF-1J with FAST pack attached... That never existed in the TV continuity. Quote

That never existed in the TV continuity. Been there. Done that. In a different scale. Uh... wouldn't the 1/60 version of the Hikaru 1J with FAST packs that Yamato released already count as Big West approved? If it makes you feel better, Major - I seem to remember some "wow, this isn't canon" posts around the time that was announced. Quote
ewilen Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 Er, isn't the Low Viz "non-canon"? Or do you know something about the remaining episodes of M0 that we don't? Quote
Hurin Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 Darn it. Someone beat me to the low-vis comment! H Quote

MicronianDevil Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 (edited) Kudos to Yamato for deciding to release 2 versions instead of one. If the Fast Pack version was the only one, I dont think I'd ever be able to afford one. Edited October 1, 2003 by MicronianDevil Quote
myk Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 What's the price difference on the Pak-less version? This is the first I've heard of this.... Quote
GobotFool Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 Gonna probabbly get a packless one, as thats alot of my paycheck to blow all at once. Quote
Commander McBride Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I'll be skipping the one with packs, too. I like my vaks clean. Quote
Mr March Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 Yamato, please include those hands in an updated FAST Pack set...please! Quote
Myersjessee Posted October 1, 2003 Author Posted October 1, 2003 I think Ill splurge for the FP version....the completist in me wants both...but at least this way I have one of everything....except the different boxes....and now Ill have four fast packs for...6 valks...DOH!...ah Kevin.... Quote
bandit29 Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 Just the VF-1J without the packs for me. Too much money at once and I don't like the FPs on the Hikaru VF-1J. I already have 4 DYRL FP kits anyway. I hope Yamato gets the pilot figure right this time. The 1/60 Hikaru VF-1J had a Hikaru DYRL pilot..even though the preproduction versions had a TV style version. Quote
Batou Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I hope Yamato gets the pilot figure right this time. The 1/60 Hikaru VF-1J had a Hikaru DYRL pilot..even though the preproduction versions had a TV style version. I'm pretty sure Graham mentioned that they were not only getting the pilot right, but are redesigning the entire cockpit area to be TV-acurate as well. Quote

I cant believe I missed all this...to much Codine! (from surgery all on the up and up here boys! ) Quote

rocco_77 Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I think I'll do the same as you Jesse... and get the FP version.... Just to have one of each... Don't really care about having the different boxes. Quote
Uxi Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 Is it actually going to be a seperate box? Or just 2 packages (valk and FP) bundled together? Quote
muswp1 Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I hope Yamato gets the pilot figure right this time. The 1/60 Hikaru VF-1J had a Hikaru DYRL pilot..even though the preproduction versions had a TV style version. If Yamato spent the time and money to create a TV style FAST Pack set for the VF-1J, then it's also a safe bet that they fixed the pilot too. Hopefully this is an indicator that more TV valks are coming (CF, VF-1J Max, VF-1J Milla, etc...). Quote
lebhead Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 i'm getting the FP version. the VF-1J Hikaru TV is my baby! Quote
rocco_77 Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 i'm getting the FP version. the VF-1J Hikaru TV is my baby! YOUR BABY?! WOW, didn't that hurt a bit? Quote
Mechafan Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 i'm getting the FP version. the VF-1J Hikaru TV is my baby! I got that one on order too. Quote
vlenhoff Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 i'm getting the FP version. the VF-1J Hikaru TV is my baby! YOUR BABY?! WOW, didn't that hurt a bit? Yep, that's got to hurt I ordered mine at Kevin's. I'll get the FP version since it's just 50.00 additional for an extra set of FPs. Hey, Roy can use some TV FPs don't you think? Then I will load the 1S with TV Hikaru, and TV FPs and voila: Super 1S TV Hikaru!!! Me wants! Thanks Yamato, Graham/Shawn, and Kevin! vic! Quote
