wasabi-elephant Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 (edited) VF-1S Hikaru (hero in DYRL) or this baby (got destroyed in TV series.....) which one to get ......difficult decision ............ wait a minute.....I don't see any strike cannon in the box......extra hands though Edited November 22, 2003 by wasabi-elephant Quote
wasabi-elephant Posted November 22, 2003 Author Posted November 22, 2003 BOTH!!!!! Sure.....maybe next year.... ..my wallet is boycotting me Quote
recon Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 (edited) I agree, but come to think of it! This may not be the case in 10 years time. Now its the peak time for Macross fans. So buy and splurge while you can..bearing in the mind your budgets. Back to the topic, if i were you wasabi-elephant, i would be in a dilema too! But if given budget contraints and i were to choose one only, that would the 1/48 VF-1S Hikaru. But coming to terms wth the demand of the toy market internationally, i would get the 1/48 VF-1J/Fps first then get the VF-1S Hikaru later. I feel that the VF-1J would be pretty much sold out once released cos its a hot item. There are still pretty much of stock of VF-1S Hikaru around in the local market both retailers and ebay. To the design of the box. Ermm ...the front cover isnt really appealing nor attractive. I would have preferred the sky blue box with clouds as the back drop. well cant win them all. Nevetheless, this is a must get. Cheers Edited November 22, 2003 by recon Quote
recon Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 (edited) Here are the pictures, props to the person who posted it on ebay, just in case anyone cant see them. Cheers Edited November 22, 2003 by recon Quote
recon Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 (edited) Another one. Here ..you can see the TV hands provided as well as the packing is close to that of the 1/60s Super and Strike series except for the fact...much bigger ! Edited November 22, 2003 by recon Quote
Göönk Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 oh it's noth finished, the stockers are not in position do we have to put them ourself? Quote
Coedes Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 so has the mystery of the VF-1J FAST-Pack colors finally been solved? It looks 'greenish' from the picture...and not the greyish that we saw in the earlier pics...or isit just lighting playing tricks? can anyone verify the color of the Booster packs from the pic? is it the same as the FAST packs sold earlier? think this issue is very impt to many as they are hoping the greyish FAST packs will look better on the Low-Viz...not much point getting another greenish-FAST pack..is there? dono? after all, as the true fans would argue, VF-1J was never shown in Super-mode in the series...

AhBong Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 uh.. that big bad boy sure looks good.. i am really all over it got to get one soon... if anyone gets it first, pls make a review..... Quote
recon Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Graham has them in his procession already, will he make a review. I seriously doubt so as he seems kinda of busy nowadays. Cheers Quote
Weaseldancer Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Personally, I am getting both but if I could only get one I would get the VF-1J. Quote
Pogoman Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 are there 2 types of boxes for the 1J? one with blue clouds and one with the fire background? Quote
vf1_soulja Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Ooohh ... i can't stop droolin'!!! w-e, I'd get both if you can spare the coin. If not, get the -1J with FPs. Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 I sympathise ( though my problem is less affordable, and more space ) but does anyone remember when the problem was there weren't enough Valkyrie toys...? Quote
TheFrenchOne Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 (edited) are there 2 types of boxes for the 1J? one with blue clouds and one with the fire background? Blue cloudy one is maybe for the non-FP and the other for FP version, <_< , i dunno... edited : I am right ! Non FP Box : Edited November 22, 2003 by TheFrenchOne Quote
recon Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 I might tempted to get the 1/48 VF-1J without Fps instead due to its box design instead of the 1/48 VF-1J/Fps. May snap on the DRYL Fps instead. But the TV Fps look cool, boy am i in a dilemma ...which one to get. Please advise. Cheers Quote
Toonz Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 sh*t! what am i looking at here.... get valk or get box....? nah....i'll take the bigger box Quote
recon Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 (edited) Okie guys, Some new goodies for you!!!! 1/48 Transparent Fps, Ideal to display the Fps internals and mechanisms without opening the casings of the Fps. Looks cool too. Might pick up one set. Hey Toonz , you still have savings for the 1/48 VF-1J Fps? Now will someone convince me not to get the 1/1 DYRL helmet. Its my whole month's pay!!! <_< Cheers Pictures: Edited November 23, 2003 by recon Quote

DrClay Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 what's wrong with you people, if it came in a plain, brown box, it would still be a Yamato 1/48 Hikaru VF-1J with Fast packs. I understand saving money, that's a good reason to do most things, but not buying this BECAUSE the box isn't blue. c'mon! Quote
Göönk Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 i think there is a market for empty boxes. I will put mine in ebay as son as it arrives ahah Quote
Toonz Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 i think there is a market for empty boxes.I will put mine in ebay as son as it arrives ahah maybe you can buy another valk with all the money that you get by selling away all the boxes Quote
Battlepod Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 Im not so sure about those Fps, but it will be available soon. Will someone translate please? Check this topic Quote
Druna Skass Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 Hey Yamato! I'm still waiting for a Cannon Fodder 1/48... Quote
Uxi Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 Nice. Damn... I still I'm gonna pass on the Hikaru 1J. My favorite 1/60 but just dont' think I need it in 1/48. The Hikaru 1S is awfully hard to resist... Quote
Godzilla Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 the more I look at the VF-1S Hikaru, the more I want to get it. ARRGH!!! I already preordered my VF-1J FP. Quote
pfunk Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 HMMMMMMMMMMMM FastPack or no,,,,,,,,,,,,,,so many decisions, so little mula for toys with the "other" stuff agh,,,made up the mind,,,,no fastpacks,,,,,cause the box is prettier ahem "BS" <_ Quote

Draykov Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 (edited) Yamato......Give me a break! Let's change that to "Yamato...Give me a Valk!" And, ta-daaa! Your wish is granted (in spades). Just think. For the cost of one new 1/48 Valkyrie from Yamato every month, you could also have: - a nice computer - a used car or a new Kia - a really nice cable/broadband set-up - utilities - car insurance for 2-3 vehicles - membership in the "gold plated book of the month club" - 6 or 7 new DVDs - 8 or 9 new CDs - two new PC/console games - not counting concessions, you and a companion could have gone to the movies 8 times - you and a companion could've gone out to eat (non fast food) about 4 times - you could've had 6.5 lap dances - paid off your finance charges on your increasingly high-balanced credit card Macross Fan-Boydom: it's a sacrifice.
