Valkyrie addict Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Beautiful tampo print, thank you Arcadia! is like they're reading my mind. Glad they're keeping the standard brown pilot seat but I sadly also see a non-perfect matching white on the metal breast plate Quote
barurutor Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Damn it, now I want a VF-1S Max!! LOL Quote
Falcon18 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) If it is all tampo printed, then I'm glad I got this one. Pics from the web shops also kinda show that the white is the normal white. Compare it with the TV version off images from Google and you'll see why. It probably is just the lighting. Edited October 23, 2013 by Falcon18 Quote
Dax415 Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Are the VF-1 Valkyries the same as the Yamato ones or are these a different sculpt? Quote
MikeRoz Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I'm skeptical about the tampo printing. HLJ prototype pics don't have it. I'd think that all that detail would be a big selling point. Quote
skullmilitia Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 HLJ 's photos are just prototype pics, and not the final version. Arcadia's twitter updates would be official. The tampos extras make the price seem good. Quote
SuperSenpai Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 HLJ 's photos are just prototype pics, and not the final version. Arcadia's twitter updates would be official. The tampos extras make the price seem good. I agree. The more information that is coming to light about upgrades makes the higher price seem more reasonable. So far, it seems the improvements are: 1) included stand 2) water slide decals 3) additional tampo printing 4) improved paint on the metal parts Quote
MikeRoz Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) HLJ 's photos are just prototype pics, and not the final version. Arcadia's twitter updates would be official. Pic is pretty compressed - hard for me to say for certain those aren't decals. Plus when I put the text through Google Translate I get "Rehabilitation of the beam sticker" - anyone have a more accurate translation? If he says it's tampo, it's tampo. But they've showed pictures with decals before. Edited October 30, 2013 by MikeRoz Quote

But they've showed pictures with decals before. yeah, we don't know yet, we should find out in a few weeks since vf-1s DYRL roy is due out soon. the only valk i own that has that much tampo is the vf-1j mass production which i believe Graham said yamato was experimenting with at the time to see how much tampo they should include. so it is possible they may have done it like the vf-1j mass or it could just be the prototype shown and not have much tampo at retail.

Mommar Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Is it weird the most excited thing about this release for me is that I'll get to try out that stand with all of my other Valks to see how good they work? Quote
Reïvaj Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 No, it's not weird, after all that and the decal sheet are the only really new stuff. Quote
Loop Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) I ended up breaking down and pre-ordering this even though I own the the one that came with the super/strike parts and the flashlight. I held out for a while but the addiction caught me. Edited October 31, 2013 by Loop Quote
Sandman Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Aren't these made to order? When is the cut off for orders? I'm surprised they're still available for order. Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Damn I have 2 Yamato versions of this and I want this too. I might break down and order this too Quote
Loop Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Damn I have 2 Yamato versions of this and I want this too. I might break down and order this too Haha it can be pretty hard to resist. Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Aren't these made to order? When is the cut off for orders? I'm surprised they're still available for order. Ask AmiAmi when they take no more orders. The release date for the Hikaru is late December. Quote
Gakken85 Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 You can see the darker shades in there, even if it looks whiter in photos. Depends on how good the camera is really. Anyway. I skipped roy because I found a Low Viz. I'm glad I got a Hikaru since it's sold out apparently. Maybe Arcadia didn't want to make as many. Quote
Falcon18 Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Arcadia Hikaru? Last I checked it was still available for preorder from NY and AmiAmi. Maybe it's been sold out since. Probably cause it's nearing release. Quote

Nope you can still preorder one. http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-001906&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3DVF-1S%24pagemax%3D20%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1 Quote
Falcon18 Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Yeah I thought so.. Was just replying to Gakken on whether they were sold out. Quote
barurutor Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 It's available again at HLJ, with further discount: http://www.hlj.com/product/ACA82019/Sci Quote
senzan Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 Yep, cancelled my NY order and preordered from HLJ along with VF-1S Focker and YF-19 at sale prices Quote
sreichma Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) I cancelled my pre order for the Hikaru so I could get the Isamu 29. I still have the Folker coming, but I just couldn't justify buying another 1-S with the Isamu coming in the same month. History taught me Bandai Valks are much harder to come by. Can't wait for the 1-J's of Max and Miria. Edited November 29, 2013 by sreichma Quote
grymg Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 My NY preorder price was almost the same as the HLJ black friday sale price, haha. Well considering I already paid for my NY preorder, I passed on HLJ. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 This is showing as "Released" at AmiAmi and Anime-Export. Let the; Box Pic, Quality Control, Variations in Color, Variations from last release, Why is this more expensive than a Transformer discussion commence! But mostly someone please just post some cool pictures so I can feel justified in buying the same damn thing for the 15 millionth time. -b. Quote
Reïvaj Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 !!! Yeah, more pics and less blah, blah, blah! Quote
barurutor Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 Haven't received notice for mine (amiami) yet. but my order shows status as In-stock. Maybe I'll get the payment request tomorrow. Quote
Gakken85 Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 Cancelled mine. I have MOS Superman, DX-13 Terminator, and Black Getter coming this month.. oh and I just paid for two smokescreens. I already have 5 VF-1's so I think I'm set for now haha. Maybe I'll grab one at a discount if it doesn't sell out. Quote
Falcon18 Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) Haven't gotten my payment request yet either. Hopefully soon. Didn't expect it to release this quick. Hopefully it wasn't a mistake on their site. Edited December 16, 2013 by Falcon18 Quote
Falcon18 Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 Got the payment request in and paid for it. Hopefully it arrives by this week. Quote
