Gakken85 Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 Looks better than the Roy box just by the lack of a dorky pose haha Quote
Falcon18 Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 Toy in fighter and schematic of battroid, nice. For someone who's in for the fighter, really liking it. Good thing I ordered the Hikaru instead. The red looks washed out though. Hopefully it's sharper on the actual box. Quote
jvmacross Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 It looks like the design of the box was complete...but then the photoshop guy came in and said..."no!!!...needs one of my photo-shopped pics inserted!!!" Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 so this is hitting the date actually....i got my payment request from amiami over the weekend...i actually forgot i ordered this. gonna keep it misb in case i change my mind. Quote
SuperSenpai Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 So I guess this one will come in TV white as well. Darn, now I sorta want one... I already have a Yamato Hikaru 1S, but the TV white looks nice. Quote
Mommar Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 The TV White with the Red Stripe looks good. I do have a question, didn't the Roy release have a flip-top box? I'm asking because, especially for this release, removing the shopped Valk would look REALLY good if all you had to do was flip the lid to see the actual thing. I think the issue here is that Bandai takes the time to design the box around incorporating the actual toy image with the rest of the design whereas here it's more like they designed a box then duct-taped a toy image onto it.

ErikElvis Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 I think Im going to order one of these but do I want Fokker or Hikaru.... Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 So Arcadia released both VF-1S's in the same month just before Christmas... not that smart I would say. Quote
close313 Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) The TV White with the Red Stripe looks good. I agree entirely, it's like a new valk to me now. I think Im going to order one of these but do I want Fokker or Hikaru.... From the above, if you want a color combo that's not released before, get this! Edited December 16, 2013 by close313 Quote
anime52k8 Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 I'm going to wait until it's confirmed just how white it is. If it's minty white enough to look good next to a DX-25F then it's bought. Quote
Scyla Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 Got the payment request from hlj. Hm I though It would be released in the end of December. Well I guess I can start to ship him and Roy tomorrow. Quote
eggy99 Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) I'm going to wait until it's confirmed just how white it is. If it's minty white enough to look good next to a DX-25F then it's bought. Hobby Search pic of the tray look pretty white. Edited December 16, 2013 by eggy99 Quote
sreichma Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Yep it has a flip top lid. Looks great in the box Quote
Mommar Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 You know what, I wasn't sure what to make of the DYRL Valks all in white but I really like the way that 1S looks. Arcadia might've just convinced me to rebuy my other four DYRL Valks (Max 1S and all three 1A's)... Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) i'm afraid to buy Hikaru's DYRL 1s for the slight chance i sit down in front of my 60" hdtv wearing a fishbowl on my head while watching a minmay video. i might get shot in the face Edited December 17, 2013 by davidwhangchoi Quote
Mommar Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 None of that made sense to me but I want my 1S now. Quote
technoblue Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 I warmed up to the TV-white DYRL look after I saw the new Roy VF-1S in person. It's a good look! I received my payment request from amiami early this morning. I had to update my details, though, so I am waiting for them to send along a new invoice before I finalize this purchase. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 None of that made sense to me but I want my 1S now. hahaha Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Yahk Deculture! thanks technoblue for saving a bad joke.. was continuing a joke on the 19 thread. anyways, i hope you post some pics up when you get it:) Quote
Mommar Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) The thing about the Roy release is that we've already seen Roy in Pure and off white. His scheme is no different between DYRL and SDFM. This is the first we've seen of the other DYRL schemes in pure white, not like it was hard to picture a red stripe instead of a yellow one, but it's good to actually see it and know they look decent. Bit of a bummer it won't sit well next to my other four DYRL's but I can live with it. Unfortunately there's no daylight when I'm home from work anymore so pics won't turn out so hot (unless it shows up before the weekend, which I have no faith in with EMS.) However, I plan to take pics of EVERY valk on that stand just to see how it works out with all of them. Edited December 17, 2013 by Mommar Quote

So don't feel bad! Mine should arrive by this week if amiami ships it out early. I'll try to get pics up soon as I get it. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 hehehehe! Payed for mine, I was expecting this to be available end of December and not now. Arcadia factory full steam ahead. Quote
troyness Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 That's 3 VF-1's in a few wks!!! That's a high turn over ...come on February tell me what VF-1 we've got for 2014. Quote

Falcon18 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Got tracking number. Will definitely arrive by this week if nothing is held up. hehehehe! Payed for mine, I was expecting this to be available end of December and not now. Arcadia factory full steam ahead. I think alot of people weren't expecting this to be released so early. Honestly, I expected it to release like Focker's, end of the month, bit of delay. Earlier the better though Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Paid for mine yesterday and have a shipping confirmation, but was definitely hoping the release got pushed into late December or early January. Too many discretionary purchases lately, plus a family emergency in late November, plus holiday shopping for the family. Not trying to complain, but my wallet can sure use a break. -b. Quote

Mechapilot77 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 So Arcadia released both VF-1S's in the same month just before Christmas... not that smart I would say. while some observe and celebrate it, christmas is just not a that big holiday in japan...the target market where the great majority of the product is sold. even so, i think the vf-1s roy came out in perfect time for gift giving purposes if thats what you meant. the hikaru...is a bit late for that but in the end....its irrelevant mostly.

But but but... there was a Christmas episode of SDFM! Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 But but but... there was a Christmas episode of SDFM! call me when 60% of retail sales happen in the span of 2 months leading up to christmas like it does here. haha Quote
Chronocidal Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Darn, I kind of want to get this one now, just because of the color combination. And the spare stand.. but meh. If I had been another month or two, I would have, but I just paid for my Isamu YF-29 order, and Christmas is too close now. Quote
Raptor One Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Ahh, really want to get one of these but can't decide between Roy and Hikaru. Any thoughts? I already have a DYRL Hikaru 1A (original run, cracked shoulders and all) and that white is really tempting. But I already have two Hikaru planes (1J and 1A) so I'm thinking I should get the iconic Roy 1S. Decisions... Quote
sreichma Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 No shipping notice from NIppon Yasan yet. A little anxious, I'm having surgery Thursday and would love to have some toys arrive. Quote
