grymg Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Oh wow I didn't know they were releasing Hikaru VF-1S too. But for me Roy > Hikaru. . . and plus I already have the red/white colorway on the VF-25F. Got have some variety. Quote
technoblue Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Okay, I give up! The option parts and design updates from my v2.0 Roy are worth it. I'll be placing my preorder soon and starting with Arcadia DYRL VF-1 valks rather than the TV versions. LoL, I guess it's all good. Quote
close313 Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 If this is a pattern.. 3rd VF-1 release would be Max's 1S! Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 There are no designs updates from Arcadia as far as we know to the v2 mold, unless you're referring to the old Yammies v.1 Then, you're in for a treat. Glad Hikaru 1S is next, hope the FAST packs are coming soon. I'm liking the stand a bit more, that gray coloring looks nice and having it store the missile is a welcomed gimmick, I personally hated having to go dig to trough all the boxes to get any missile or part I left there. Quote
technoblue Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 I was thinking about the crotch design and the canopy going from 2.0 to 2.2. I have the first issue 2.0 with both the tinted canopy and the 2.0 locking crotch: http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=4599 The optional parts were not available either, so these small things are adding up for me.

danth Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Oh wow I didn't know they were releasing Hikaru VF-1S too. But for me Roy > Hikaru. . . and plus I already have the red/white colorway on the VF-25F. Got have some variety. I don't have a Hikaru 1S so I will be snagging it for sure! There are no designs updates from Arcadia as far as we know to the v2 mold, unless you're referring to the old Yammies v.1 Then, you're in for a treat. I think the hatch under the nose where the hips attach in battroid was updated for easier transformation. Man...seriously considering double-dipping on the Roy 1S for that... Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Oh...got it, semantics got me on that. I thought you meant Arcadia may have made some improvement, sorry about that, the crotch was fixed (I feel it still needs improvement) and I think the most important fix was they corrected the exploding shoulder hinge issue. Quote
Benbot Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 I wish these would be released with the super strike parts. Anyway, looks like I'll have to get both of these and the inevitable Roy. Quote
Loop Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Damn you Arcadia!! I think I may triple dip on the DYRL? Roy now and double dip on the DYRL? Hikaru... I tried to force myself to think I would not do it, but damn. Do we know if these will also feature Tenjin artwork on the boxes? Quote
EXO Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 At first I was disappointed that I didn't complete my 1/60 VF-1 collection when Yamato disappeared. Now I'm kinda glad, sure they're more expensive but I think it's gonna be less than what it would have cost to catch up with the marked up prices of actual Yamato valks. And you get all the extras. Quote
Loop Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Oh yeah, the secondary market prices were insane after the Yamato departure. I am glad Arcadia decided to carry on. Quote
jenius Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 They should roll out a reissue every month or every other month. That would be tits. One exception, there should be no reissues the couple months before the 19 drops so we can brace our wallets for impact. Quote
Loop Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Dude my wallet is already crying :*( I always offset my toys though by not spending all year unless I absolutely need to spend on necessities or for the family. I could do one a month or every other month, I wonder though how close bandai is to the finish line with Mac F. I keep buying multiples of their releases and need to stop. It was ok while Yamato was down, but now Arcadia looks like they are coming out swinging fighting for my dollars. Edited July 28, 2013 by Loop Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 i need a max vf-1a TV for a Zentraedi suit i picked up. also want a max vf-1s with updated crotch, and any vf-1 that wasn't released with the updates. vf-1j mass (crotch,) VT-1 (shoulders) Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 I'm getting fat, so Arcadia valks may be my saving grace.... valk or food... who knew valks may have a health benefit. :lol: Quote
Mommar Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 i need a max vf-1a TV for a Zentraedi suit i picked up. also want a max vf-1s with updated crotch, and any vf-1 that wasn't released with the updates. vf-1j mass (crotch,) VT-1 (shoulders) An updated Max 1S with the new crotch would be great, though it won't have the awesome tinted canopy like my old Max. I need another TV Max 1A as well, but only if they offer the Armor Parts again. I want to do one up like the in the Master File book. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) i think reivaj quoted Mr. K's twitter that that's very likely the armor parts are coming back... i hope it's true. man wasn't planning on getting roy again and i was making fun of that stand, but the weapons storage and pic looks so cool.... Edited July 28, 2013 by davidwhangchoi Quote
chen Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Cool, guess I was right about the stand holding extra parts. Quote
skullmilitia Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 I'm tempted, but really I only need a TV Roy and a 1J Hikaru and then I'm done with VF-1's. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) One cannot be simply done with the VF-1 Edited July 28, 2013 by Valkyrie addict Quote
derex3592 Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 I'm getting fat, so Arcadia valks may be my saving grace.... valk or food... who knew valks may have a health benefit. :lol: Best post ever! Quote
dapro Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) I'm getting fat, so Arcadia valks may be my saving grace.... valk or food... who knew valks may have a health benefit. :lol: Or spend on gym membership. Edited July 28, 2013 by dapro Quote
SuperSenpai Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Well you know, if you buy a valk a month, that's about the same as a gym membership. Quote
m0n5t3r Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 I may have to get me one of these so i can get the stand and use it for the YF-19... and my DYRL Roy is pretty beat up already (more than 50 transformations, paint chips etc.), so this'll be a good chance to update the collection. Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 I love it when people say " I just need one more and I'm done". I'm guilty myself but the truth is... you're never done haha. Quote

Great idea. a place to keep all of the YF-19 missiles instead of Roy's since 19 doesn't seem to come with a stand(yet). So now maybe those who feel bad about double dipping on DYRL Roy may feel better lol. Buy this for the greater good. Quote
hibiki_konzake Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 i saw arcadia`s "new" models at wonderfest yesterday it didn`t look that differant from what we knew as the last version from yamato. to me it looked like the same molds as befor. could be wrong Quote

So now maybe those who feel bad about double dipping on DYRL Roy may feel better lol. Buy this for the greater good. Plus (pun intended) displaying the YF-19 and YF-21 with similar stands will look much better imo. Now i'm thinking i need one more stand for the 11B... w/c means one more VF-1 ... I would go for a VF-1D VR, stealth or lowvis like the 1/48 style LV1. Quote
DarrinG Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 I love it when people say " I just need one more and I'm done". I'm guilty myself but the truth is... you're never done haha. Guilty. I think the only way this is possible is to stop looking and avoid the internet. Then one MIGHT be satisfied and be 'done'. And since I'm typing this post I have obviously not managed this... Quote
Reïvaj Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 i think reivaj quoted Mr. K's twitter that that's very likely the armor parts are coming back... i hope it's true. man wasn't planning on getting roy again and i was making fun of that stand, but the weapons storage and pic looks so cool.... Mr-K's also said they're going to reisue the SP next year. Quote
skullmilitia Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Anyone can be done with the VF-1, there's plenty of other variants and models To chose from, also self-restraint. Which comes forced when you have a kid. Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Still deciding if I want this or not... Well I did intend to get the 30th anniversary Focker with option parts and fast packs to pose next to my VT-1, but I missed that boat cause I procrastinated. Quote
xrentonx Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Gonna be my third Roy! Coming back from spending tons of money on vacation only to find I gotta spend tons of money on Macross Quote
DarrinG Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 I would much rather have a first ever 1/60 Phalanx toy than yet another 1S. But - I must be in the minority (by far) otherwise we would see that instead of the 52nd release of the Skull1 . . . Quote
