ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) The ball cup thinghy for the stand right? Yeah they suck, mine cracked on my Focker's stand. I must admit, i have my VF-1S Roy displayed cooly in battroid on top of my tv, it looks superb. Whislt battroid mode is nicely balnced, Fighter mode is crap, but the fast packs make it look much better. Edited June 29, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
jodokast Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Booo... Toynazi. Apparently they removed the Movie Weapons from the 4pack Weapon set. "NOTE: This set does NOT include the Movie Edition Weapon set. This set was removed by Toynami from this set and sold separately. " And here I was hoping that I'd have an extra FastPack set to customize for my 1/100 LowVis I made. Quote
Salamander Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Psst. I believe the topicstarter misspelled "Toynami". A Mod should fix that. A toynazi is something else altogether. Concerning the Valks, they look pretty good, although a bit too PVCy to my likings... Quote

I thought in series 3 they were doing combo packs, like re-releasing Hikky 1S with Strike, and Roy weathered version with strike... It's been so long i can't remember, and starting not to care. lol.

It's been so long i can't remember, and starting not to care. lol. Series 3 is still Hikky 1S and Roy along with the Cannon Fodder. Series 4, aka. the Fast/Strike Packs, was supposed to be the weapon packs for the 1Js along with an extra movie set. Maybe Series 5 will be 2 movie packs and 2 TV packs ???? Quote
Fly4victory Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 As long as this is taking. I have a feeling that Toynami has already lost out to Revy and will lose to GN-U. They only thing that Toynami has going for it is these are variable but the "we are releasing this... no were not... we are releasing that... it will be this year... no it will be next year" song and dance is turning into their requiem. I doubt that a quick release of the GBP armor would save them. Quote
eriku Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 I've officially lost interest in Toynami's 1/100 line. I like the 1S I have, I waited with eager anticipation for a long time for fastpacks, and now I just don't care anymore. Thanks for saving me a little money, Toynami. Quote
protostar8 Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 I still want a Max Weapon Set in case anyone has an extra one they don't want or need. Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Concerning the Valks, they look pretty good, although a bit too PVCy to my likings... They look it, but are comprised almost entirely of ABS. Quote
protostar8 Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 They look it, but are comprised almost entirely of ABS. Which doesn't seem like high quality ABS either b/c of things like the shoulder joint (on mine at least) being broken right out of the box. Quote
Shaggydog Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Other than the display stand, I haven't heard many reports of breakage on the toy. I think the plastic quality is decent. BBTS is listing the super weapons set as 'in stock', btw. Quote

BBTS is listing the super weapons set as 'in stock', btw. There have been numerous reports of shoulder joints cracking. The left shoulder joint on mine is crumbling. The arm doesn't fall off or anything, so it could be worse. Otherwise, yeah, I don't think the plastic was bad on these toys at all. Quote

The arm doesn't fall off or anything, so it could be worse. Otherwise, yeah, I don't think the plastic was bad on these toys at all. Shoulders cracking? Most of the version 1/100 I have have hairline cracks at the shoulders and the knees. The only one that completely broke off at the shoulder was a custom (which of course is a given). I will be buying the Super/Strike Parts for all the 1/100 I have, just hopefully at a great price. The ones I've seen on ebay are uber expensive considering you pay twice the price for a 1/48 Super/Strike Pack. I just hope Toynami releases the GBP-1S soon. Quote
Rabidweezil Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 BBTS is listing the super weapons set as 'in stock', btw. hmmm....BBTS is still listing it as a 4 pack and charging the 4 pack price. But Twin Moons says it's now a 3 pack and lowered their price accordingly. Quote
Mechafan Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) I got two sets from Twinmoons this week. The Movie set was missing and is to be released later. Edited July 3, 2008 by Mechafan Quote
danth Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 I got two sets from Twinmoons this week. The Movie set was missing and is to be released later. Amazing; it seems these things will finally be released. Quote
Jepoyako Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 So TWINMOONS is shipping the super/strike part sets? Quote
misterryno Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 So TWINMOONS is shipping the super/strike part sets? F*in AWESOME AVATAR!!! Quote
Fly4victory Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 I got two sets from Twinmoons this week. The Movie set was missing and is to be released later. I see that TMPanime updated their website to reflect the correct information on the weapon sets. Too bad Toynami has not caught up yet. With product in hand, any thoughts? Thanks for the photos.

wvn111 Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 i was really hoping for the movie fast pack... Bummer Quote
protostar8 Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 So, are these Fast Packs worth $22 or should I keep looking? That's how much it'd cost me to get the Max set from someone and that's almost more than I paid for the figure! The set was actually under $13, but the shipping is $9, so I'm debating just waiting it out to try to find a cheaper price b/c that seems pretty high considering the set of 3 from TMPanime is only $27 before shipping. Heck, I've thought about buying a set of 3 from them and selling the other two packs (Ichigo and Milia) if I knew two people that wanted them for sure. Quote
wvn111 Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Hmmm.... in BBTS they are selling it for 39.99 set of 4... Then the others are selling it set of 3? What gives? Quote
protostar8 Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Hmmm.... in BBTS they are selling it for 39.99 set of 4... Then the others are selling it set of 3? What gives? BBTS is slow to update. Toynami didn't release the movie fast packs, so that's why the other retailers are saying 3. Which means the set of 3 should be $30 plus $7-12 shipping depending on the retailer. That's why I'm having a little bit of a mental problem paying $22 for a singer one shipped. Quote
kensei Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Thanks! This also guarantees that no one will want to touch your toys. Quote
Mechafan Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 With product in hand, any thoughts? Thanks for the photos. The ones I have are well done. Most parts fit nicely. The backpack assembly is real tight. No paint over spray. The RMS missiles are too small. BBTS is slow to update. Toynami didn't release the movie fast packs, so that's why the other retailers are saying 3. Which means the set of 3 should be $30 plus $7-12 shipping depending on the retailer. That's why I'm having a little bit of a mental problem paying $22 for a singer one shipped. I know what you mean. Shipping for six for me was $8.47 total. Quote
Fly4victory Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Thanks Mechfan. The fast packs really improves the look in fighter mode. Quote
P.Knipe Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 I just ordered the fast pack set from bbts and it did come with 4 sets of fast packs, max hikaru and miria's plus the movie edition set. Quote
protostar8 Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 I just ordered the fast pack set from bbts and it did come with 4 sets of fast packs, max hikaru and miria's plus the movie edition set. Okay, but do you actually have the movie set in hand or does their website just say it's in the set still? I haven't seen anyone mention having this set and most retailers have changed their websites saying that it's only a set of 3 now instead of that set of 4. BBTS can be really bad about changing info on toy, especially images. Quote
P.Knipe Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 yea i actually have the set on hand, if i can figure out how to take snap shots with my laptop webcam ill post some pictures i guess Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 6, 2008 Author Posted July 6, 2008 (edited) I been way for a few days, so here's the reply from Kirin Anime on what he has in stock. Here's the list of Toynami stuff we got. All are 1/100. Action Figures: VF-1J Hikaru, VF-1J Max, VF-1J Milia VF-1S Focker, VF-1A Hikaru, VF-1A Max Super Weapons Sets: VF-1 Movie Ed, VF-1J Hikaru, VF-1J Max, VF-1J Milia Let me know which ones you're interested in. No brown Cannon Fodders so it's probably in the following series. I'm hoping we can get series 3 & 4, but I'm not sure at this time. http://stores.ebay.com/Kirin-Anime kirinanime@gmail.com - it's better to e-mail him coz he's still tryin to get the new webbie online.

I'll be grabbing the Hikaru Strike set, and Movie set. Is there no "buy the whole set" option? $20 apiece seems steep compared to picking up the full set from BBTS with shipping. I'm a little disappointed I didn't get the movie set w/ my purchase from tmpanime, as I was thinking of customizing it for my series 1 customs. sigh... maybe they'll release a 3 pack of just of movie sets.
