Bandai 1/72 fully transform able VF-1 plastic kit for Macross 30th Ann

[Vifam7]

Ah, I see, thank you very much.

Actually, "fast packs" is the generic term for any add-on boosters, armor/weapon packs.

The correct Macross terminology is "Strike Pack" for the one with the beam cannons. "Super Pack" for the ones without. You can use the term "Parts" instead of Pack if you wish.

So the term "FAST Pack" is to the Strike Parts set as the term "Variable Fighter" is to the VF-1S Valkyrie?

Basically yes.

Does anyone know the launch price of this kit in Japan?

4500 yen for the kit, 2000 yen for the packs/weapons set.

FAST pack is a real life term too. Fuel And Sensor Tactical.

[daBlah!]

Is it likely that Bandai will continue with the 1/72 line of the vf-1? Addons like the armored pieces?

And the only J heads released have been on the max and miriya versions correct?

[Primus1X]

Max and Milia versions exist? Anyone have pics?

[Jefuemon]

Here's Max, and here's Miria. They were limited edition releases, that's why the higher prices.

Do they come with Max and Miria pilot figures?

[Jefuemon]

Do they come with Max and Miria pilot figures?

Not positive, but I think they come with generic TV pilot figures.

In other words, no bumps on Miria's chest.

[Gatsu]

Does anybody know if the plastic quality of this model kits has been improved since they were released years ago? Thanks.

[NZEOD]

think I might need to get some of these..

Necro-replying, but I'd never seen the M&M versions. Interesting that they did their own scheme for Milia's FAST packs---they're entirely red/white, no "standard grey" bits at all. That's not canon. Looks neat, but I almost wonder if it's "too much".
