Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Please re-release Milia's 1J with a baby pod, just so I can get her 1J... CO SIGN! Max too while they're at it! I love the VF-1D but already have that paint scheme. Make a Virgin Road version with the extra parts and I might bite... Quote

Make a Virgin Road version with the extra parts and I might bite... Good call, I'm totally down for that. Oh, hang on, I realized that the baby pod wouldn't come with the blue 1D... Argh.

Lynk Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I just bought myself a VF-1J Hikaru + Armour parts and VF-1A Max... am I going to end up regretting not waiting?... can I buy Kakizaki's Valk and Roy's VF-1S?... What do I do?! Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Dear Yamato: low viz VF-1S rerelease with new option parts plz Quote
EXO Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Good call, I'm totally down for that. Oh, hang on, I realized that the baby pod wouldn't come with the blue 1D... Argh. It would come with the red 1J, which is something I need. Lol. Quote
Benson13 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I'd love to get my grubby Irish potato mashers on a VF-1D. Quote
Skull One Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Where I can do the Pre-Order?. Please sent me PM! Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 I would like separate parts I don't have the money or space to buy re-issues for Valkyries I already have. Quote
Golden Arms Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 CO SIGN! Max too while they're at it! I love the VF-1D but already have that paint scheme. Make a Virgin Road version with the extra parts and I might bite... Ditto. I had passed on the Max and Milia Vf-1J's originally. Quote
DarrinG Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 I would certainly think this means a re-release of the M&M valks too right? Since those are even more scarce? That would be good. Never manage to find those. They should include gun-straps as well though in these re-issues.. And I think the side covers should all be gray like the GBP... Quote
Renato Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 They should include gun-straps as well though in these re-issues.. Good point! In other news.... ARGH. I found a rapidly growing crack on one of my VF-1D's shoulder hinge. I guess I might be getting a reissue after all... (Although between VF5SS's new hinges and Yamato seemingly still providing service, I still might be able to salvage this guy) Quote
Dutch Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Count me in for a vf-1d. I stupidly didn't buy it when it first came out. Quote
jenius Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 A VF-1D with a shoulder crack? Perhaps there's no such thing as a "safe" V2... just "less prone to breaking". Quote
Renato Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 A VF-1D with a shoulder crack? Perhaps there's no such thing as a "safe" V2... just "less prone to breaking". It's a feature. "Exploshoulders". They should put it on the box. Quote
BlueMax Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 A VF-1D with a shoulder crack? Perhaps there's no such thing as a "safe" V2... just "less prone to breaking". Actually to be fair, none of the valks by Yamato Bandai and most makers are "safe". It is as you have said, more or less prone to damage, that's all. I remember back in the 80s, I even managed to break the Bandai chunky munkey's back pack and vertical stablizers for a toy considered "unbreakable" Quote
DarrinG Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 This might make missing out on the M&M valks the first time around -- GOOD NEWS! Quote
VF5SS Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 A VF-1D with a shoulder crack? Perhaps there's no such thing as a "safe" V2... just "less prone to breaking". it's alright guys I got dis Quote

Shaorin Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Awesome!! looks like this will be that opportune moment i've been waiting for to finally pick myself up a Focker 1S... Quote
typhoon Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 ishop2go has the 1-j with option parts up for pre order. Not sure about the other versions.... Shouldn't be too long before Amiami and HLJ have them up. They also have the cavalier up for pre order which I did grab, the option parts are cool but I'm not going to buy all the Valks that I already own just for the sake a few parts. Quote
Mommar Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 ishop2go appears to put EVERYTHING that's shown at a trade show up for preorder. They also have the Cavalier up already too. Quote

valid Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 waiting for hlj to release it.. can't wait for a "D" Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 A VF-1D with a shoulder crack? Perhaps there's no such thing as a "safe" V2... just "less prone to breaking". Actually I remember reports of broken VF-1D shoulders, it wasn't until Max's valks were released that the V2 line had a period of no broken shoulder reports(until the VT-1 and 1st run of the GPB1 set with Hikaru's VF1J).

Renato Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Poster showing the optional parts included with the re-issues. Neck area cover will be included. ameblo.jp/digitamin/entry-11163810949.html Thanks for the pic! Gotta go a LITTLE off-topic here just to say what a good-humoured company Yamato is. In the text, in brackets you see the word アラサー coming after "30th Anniversary". Romanized, this reads "Arasaa". This is actually quite a new word in Japanese society which is taken from a truncation of "Araundo Saatii" -- "Around Thirty". As some of you may know, there is a Kon-katsu phenomenon here in Japan which has its roots in the desperation of women feeling pressured to get married "around thirty". Basically, they're equating the Macross franchise as a woman who should be thinking of settling down. Anyway, all of this is part of the reason why I think the Yamato guys are so great. They're not just a company making kick-ass toys -- they have a cynical, crazy sense of humour, even in official settings such as these. Quote
VF5SS Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Macross is like Milia, she'll be staying beautiful into her 50's. Quote
Omegablue Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 So is it official that they won't sell them seperate? Also with these re-released versions, does this mean they're going to release the super and strike packs again? Missed on them as I didn't expect them to out of production after a couple of years... Quote
Renato Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) So is it official that they won't sell them seperate? Also with these re-released versions, does this mean they're going to release the super and strike packs again? Missed on them as I didn't expect them to out of production after a couple of years... It is official that they are releasing non-FP versions of the 1S, 1D and 1J with the extra parts. That's all we know. Edited February 18, 2012 by Renato Quote
lechuck Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Is the VF-1S specifically labeled as Roy or Hikaru? I ask because these VF-1/side cover combos on offer here are all the ones Hikaru flew in SDF. Anyway glad Yamato is finally doing this, although they should have done this the first time around. Now all I need is a re-release of Hikaru DYRL VF-1S with the side covers and the revised crotch lock... Quote
ps99042 Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 It is official that they are releasing non-FP versions of the 1S, 1D and 1J with the extra parts. That's all we know. Damn, I just bought a reissued Hikaru VF-1J. Quote
Rabidweezil Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Graham, Any word on Yamato releasing the option parts separately? Even if it was only through HLJ I don't care. I'd just like a few sets to put on the Valks I already purchased. Thanks! Quote
CF18 Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Is the VF-1S specifically labeled as Roy or Hikaru? It is specified as the VF-1S TV version: http://www2.moeyo.com/img/12/02/14/8/803.html Quote
ultraman zoffy Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Random question.... does ishop2go charge you up front for pre-orders, or do they only charge when the item is in-stock and ships? Quote
Graham Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 Graham, Any word on Yamato releasing the option parts separately? Even if it was only through HLJ I don't care. I'd just like a few sets to put on the Valks I already purchased. Thanks! Dunno, Yamato are being a bit uncommuncative recently. Probably beacuse of me not writting any reviews recently...........LOL! Graham Quote
Dutch Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Random question.... does ishop2go charge you up front for pre-orders, or do they only charge when the item is in-stock and ships? I just ordered the vf-1d, vf-1j with option parts, and vf-1 cavaliers. I had to pay up front. I don't want to miss out, so I'll just have to wear it. Hopefully they are reliable. Quote
