xrentonx Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Hmmm...I already have the standalone full armor pack but this might be my chance to finally own the Hikaru 1J! Just wish it had the grey goggles though. Quote
technoblue Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Awesome! January isn't too far away. I better start saving my pennies. Quote
Tking22 Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Damn this kind of sucks, I was hoping for a stand alone release, I don't want the armor. Quote
abbadon Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Which site did the photo come from, if I may ask? Quote
Sandman Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I'm afraid to ask how much is it? I'll probably get it as the amour set was one of the few yamato products that i didn't get. So i guess thats it for reissues for 2014? Dissapointing. I was hoping for max and mirya 1Js (the other yamato valks that i didnt get) before the end of the year. Quote
joppewo Posted July 27, 2014 Author Posted July 27, 2014 Which site did the photo come from, if I may ask? The photo was taken from TagHobby. Looks like its from the WonderFest Quote
abbadon Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 The photo was taken from TagHobby. Looks like its from the WonderFest Okay, Thanks! I think it's a January 2015 release. Where does it say May 2015? Quote
joppewo Posted July 27, 2014 Author Posted July 27, 2014 The little sign in front of the VF-1J has a 5月 which translates to May. Will edit the first post once there's further confirmations. Quote
SaitouSad Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 oh damn!! I already own the v2 with the grey goggles, but this is so sexy it makes me wanna buy a 2nd... ahhh if only I had the display space. Also Arcadia's pricing policy doesn't help. Quote

Also Arcadia's pricing policy doesn't help. I'm on the same boat. Although I wouldn't mind getting another set, just for another VF-1J, as this one seems to be the non-grey goggles version. Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) YUS!!! Glad I never popped on this. Does it look a lot thinner to you guys, like it's been retooled? The legs look super tight. Edited July 27, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote
jenius Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Not to my eyes, in fact, I'm pretty surethey haven't made it yet so that is a Yamato. Quote
arrow Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I already have the armor. I just need a reasonably priced J or S. because the armor looks off with the small head of my 4 x VF-1A. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Just need more armors, already have three VF-1J's Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I got a 30th vf-1j, so I'll have a spare for fighter or Gerwalk. Quote
technoblue Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Hm. If Arcadia is still using Yamatos for display pieces, then add me to the list of those hoping for a gray-goggles VF-1J in the final Arcadia release. That would be icing on the GBP cake. Quote
Sildani Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Mine. Glad I held off on getting a 1/60 VF-1 until now. If I ever get bored with it being a Valkyrie, I can always say it's a 1/60 Crusader. Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Does it have gray goggles? It looks white to me. Unless they are using a standalone vf-1j? So is it an Arcadia? Edited July 27, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote
technoblue Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 The display has white goggles, yes. Here is a picture from SDFM: And another from DYRL: Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 cool This is a smart move for Arcadia, it's practically guaranteed to sell. -b. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I would have preferred VF-1 super parts before the GBP. Quote
abbadon Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Yeah, I'm still hoping they would reissue the Super Parts at some point. Quote
Tking22 Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Like I said I'd prefer stand alone, I don't want to pay extra for crap I don't want, if anything Arcadia needs to release some stand alone super parts, there's plenty of Yamato/Arcadia releases that could benefit from that. Quote
Chronocidal Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 If someone wants the 1J, but doesn't need the armor, I might be happy to buy a set. Otherwise, I might grab one myself, but I've got two of this valk already. Quote
Tking22 Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 If someone wants the 1J, but doesn't need the armor, I might be happy to buy a set. Otherwise, I might grab one myself, but I've got two of this valk already. I would be interested in a deal like that. At the end of the day this will probably be the cheapest VF-1J Hikaru on the market, and I desperately need one to finish my Vermilion Squad. Chances are good the armor will be together in a separate plastic tray below the main valk and other goodies, I'd honestly be willing to sell it off and hold onto the rest. Quote
chyll2 Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I would have preferred VF-1 super parts before the GBP. ditto. they have released 3 bare vf-1. those valks and older yamato need those supers now (I badly need one) Quote
arrow Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I wouldn't mind if they do more bare vf. And the separate parts release. The fact that after market prices for vf are high means there is more demand. Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) I don't think it will be cheap. Easy 200-250. They will probably throw in extras to justify the price as high as possible. I think this is a lot more interesting than supers...though I want those too. I need 3 or 4 sets. Edited July 27, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote
skullmilitia Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 It's just the start of WF, they might add something else later. Quote
