misterryno Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 someone has noticed the holes in the gunpod! and who knows whether it is compatible with the s1 of 1/48 I'm sure the 1/48 gun strap would work....it would be a bit large....but it would work.
Dante74 Posted August 27, 2008 Author Posted August 27, 2008 Is it me or does it look like there is weathering on the the 1/48 D in those pics? If any Valk of the 1/60 Valks came out with I weathered scheme I would so buy it. Weathering just makes it look better as far as I am concerned. Oh and because I can't help myself...pic. That 1/48 1D has weathering because it's a custom job by Kurt. Yamato never released a 1/48 VF-1D. The bastards!
Jepoyako Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 So who else preordered the Early Bird VF-1J from HLJ?
valhary Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 in the pics the fast pack of the vf 1a seems different color that the vf 1s someone can confirm this?
jackdaniels Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 It's just the lighting. The photos in the japanese site were in a super bright environment. On an unrelated note, I just noticed that the 1A and 1J have a red circle on their backpack that's missing on the 1S. I checked my sticker sheet and there isn't a yellow circle to be found.

David Hingtgen Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I just noticed that the 1A and 1J have a red circle on their backpack that's missing on the 1S. I checked my sticker sheet and there isn't a yellow circle to be found. All other Yamato Roy valks (1/60 v1 and 1/48) also have "no yellow circle". Right or wrong, that seems to be their intention, and it's not a "mistake" on this release. Checking DYRL, it does seem to be yellow in every scene. Hasegawa says yellow. Bandai/Takatoku don't have it yellow, but they simply don't even have that area molded with canon details it seems--there's no circle at all. Still--Roy's valk clearly is not a PERFECT color-copy of Hikaru/Max/Kakizaki---otherwise, he'd have a yellow heatshield and yellow background for the skull on the boosters. Roy seems to prefer "not quite so much yellow".

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) Roy seems to prefer "not quite so much yellow". Which is why I like his the best despite hikaru being the one to pwn the end-of-level boss. Edited August 27, 2008 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker
Spiff Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Pre-ordered damnit. Why am I so weak? Not weak! You are a valkaholic be proud and stand with your fellow MWers and proclaim "I deserve that new valk". Just make sure you hide the delivery from your wife or gf, your on your own there pal....
logos Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 If I knew the J was coming out I think I might of held off on buying the S. I like the head design so much better on the J. I think I will have to hold out hope they bring out a head pack:) That or I have to decide between the J or the Tomohawk......ack so hard to choose!
misterryno Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Pre-ordered damnit. Why am I so weak? What Spiff said is correct....you're not weak.....if you're weak...then we are all weak....and if we valkoholics stand together....we ARE a force to be reckoned with! NO ONE CAN STOP US!!! NOOOOOO ONE!!!!

NOOOOOO ONE!!!! Thanks for the kind words guys. Maybe I should put the Poor People's Macross Toy Collecting Support Group (PPMTCSG) member line in my sig again. I am the founder afterall.
Kicker773 Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 perhaps i should join that group...custom special problems!
miriya Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Well. I already preordered from Lost and Found toys and I like Carlos as he is great with customer service so I do not think it would be cool to cancel my preorder with him but I was tempted to order a second one at HLJ! That would be stupid obsessive. Anyway I think that if I order SAL at HLJ it would probably arrive around the same time as from LOS and is about the same price. Thanks for the heads up about the early bird. It is a good deal. Just also wanted to mention that when I ordered my Mospeada ride armor from LOS and it arrived to me with parts missing from the package, I contacted him and he got the extra parts for me. And really quick too. That is the type of care that makes me want to keep ordering with him.
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Swoosh, any problems with the shoulder hinge on the one you bought?
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Canopy coating is slighty different, this time it is more on the purple side, coating on my 1S looks more like Oakley's emerald and has more reflection. ULTRAVIOLENT PURPLE! FTW! Why hasn't Yamato printed the thin black lines around the red arrow on the 1A head like they did on the 1S? I think thats only for the Skull 1's
eugimon Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I'll ask my wife... she did the coatings for Oakley for 8 years.

I would suggest that if you are going to buy a 2nd....go with LOS again. I would.

Kyp Durron Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I've been re watching SDF Macross on Veoh TV, I'm up to Ep. 25 so far. Having the new 1/60 Roy 1S has been making me really nostalgic as of late. -Kyp

misterryno Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 You're one of the biggest Hikaru valk fans I know, and you haven't watched Macross? No no no.....I own most of the Macross DVDs......I meant to say.... I have been meaning to watch that or at least DYRL....I just have not watch them RECENTLY. My bad. I HAVE seen them. Just not recently.
