no3Ljm Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Guys, I thought you already knew that this will be released on May and not January as per first page's photo. Were you guys panicking because all the while you thought this will be released on January? Hahaha! j/k I held off from getting the 1/60th armored parts since I have the 1/48th scale version of it. I hope that the incentive for getting this Arcadia offering would be the additional part swappers like side armors and extended pilot seat(s) for battroid and of course an improved 1J w/ a grey visor. I am rooting also for a grey visor but I remember Mr.K already tweeted before that it will just have the regular white visor. ahhh ok well that clears things up a bit! Thanks for the info dude! and yes gives us a little buffer to help wallets & bank accounts recover before our next crazy mad spending sprees! I definitely will be getting one for sure!! You're welcome. Hope everyone's ok now and not panicking anymore. Imagine the reaction of 'one member' here who has 4 PO's of VF-0D and have to add this one coming January. And we're not sure if he's just going to get one or two. Hahaha! ... *Gasp!* Oh wait, that's you! Hahaha! Just having fun bro. Quote

Were you guys panicking because all the while you thought this will be released on January? Hahaha! j/k *snip* Yeah, I certainly thought the release was earlier in the year. Panic no, but wasn't looking forward to spending more money post Holiday season when it's usually time to pay off bills or replenish the disposable cash reserve. -b. Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) Wait. I envy you b. You don't panic when it's that time again post holidays to pay bills and replenish the reserves. That's what I meant when I said panic on my post. Coz I need to panic. Hahaha! Definitely all of us will spend coming holidays only to realize that we will also need to pay for those upcoming preorders of not-so-expensive VF-0D next year. Hehehe. Again, imagine that 'one member' who has 4 VF-0D PO's. (Sorry, spanner.) Guess our post holiday spending spree will end mid-year 2015. Edited October 23, 2014 by no3ljm Quote

But I do panic, I'm panicking through the roof right now trying to figure out how to pay for all the stuff that's coming out in November that I've pre-ordered. However, with regards to the 1J/GBP and 0D, I'm good. -b. Quote
troyness Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 So from the recent pic, thanx to Save it looks be to the white goggles. Quote
technoblue Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Yeah. And that results in a course correction for me: I'll be passing on this. I don't need two of the same VF-1J Valkyries. I already have a nice Hikaru 1J that I picked up from another forum member. Arcadia is confusing me with their VF-1 releases. I hope the next use of the mold hits it out of the park. Quote
joppewo Posted November 20, 2014 Author Posted November 20, 2014 Some updates courtesy from AmiAmi blog: Quote
Brand-X Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Does anyone know if the hands can be replaced by other Valk hands we might already have? I'm thinking of grabbing one of these and painting it up for a DYRL version, but the clown hands will have to go if I'm going to do it. Quote
Kurisama Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Yes it can - just use the valk's original plug holes and don't use the armour fists/wrist plates - also this; https://www.shapeways.com/model/782086/vf-1-valkyrie-hands-a-set.html There are some example of these fists (can use any of the originals too) used on the armour. Edited November 20, 2014 by Kurisama Quote
barurutor Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Kinda disappointed that the visor is white instead of grey. Looks like the older grey goggle 1J will become even more expensive. Quote
xrentonx Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Damn it looks like I'm breakin' out the grey paints Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I need more armors but I already have two VF-1J's (grey goggle and white goggle). Hope they release just the armor pack in the near future! Quote
nedragdnuos Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Since I missed Yamato's version this will be an easy sell to me LOL.... Quote
derex3592 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 man am i glad I got Yamato's original version. Way cheaper and will still be easily distinguished from Arcadia's. Quote
yman1437 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Me too...;-) no details on what may be different / extras still? Since I missed Yamato's version this will be an easy sell to me LOL.... Quote
chyll2 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Me too...;-) no details on what may be different / extras still? extra price so far no extra's announced. It is confirmed though that this will not have the missile fire effect. Quote
nedragdnuos Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 LOL, I am kinda figuring they will charge a bit more than the 1S releases from earlier this year..... I figure that's fair since they are using the SAME old moulds after all....... time will tell...... Quote
sreichma Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 So we know the date for preorder in January? Quote
ZDZIYO Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 I think I will buy one. Missed a lot of the fun in the passed few years. Now I am in for every issue. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 MrK twits https://twitter.com/Mrk_arcadia/status/542139607836409857 Quote
Doktor Gonzo Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Finally another chance to own one of these... Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 it looks incomplete without the grey googles Quote
treatment Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 So I'm guessing Arcadia's gonna charge 45,000y for this? Without the grey goggles and dyrl-hands? Quote
Gakken85 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Grey goggles ... I'll do that fix. Should be easy as heck. Just a little paint.. Hard part would be getting it off. Plus I have a 30th TV 1J for white. Never having owned a set of GBP I'm looking forward to this. its the only release I really need. Edited December 9, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote
troyness Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Does this mean it comes with a stand? ( and yeah DYRL hands?) Quote
Gakken85 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 I'm sure it will. I just hope they can pack the parts in a fairly small box with the valk. Quote
troyness Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 I'm sure it will. I just hope they can pack the parts in a fairly small box with the valk. Cool!Hope that's the case.Also VERY curious about the option parts, particularly the side covers! (Grey and white/only grey/only white?) Quote
spanner Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Looks great. As much as i do like the white goggles of my TV Hikaru it shouldn't be too difficult to paint it gray yeah? I probably wouldnt bother doing that myself anyways.. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 highly likely they won't come with either stand or dyrl hands. Quote
Loop Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 It would be cool though if it did come with the DYRL hands, we already got the TV hands the first time around. Quote
firefly Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Sorry if it's stupid question but, it is a valk can be transform in fighter mode with armor parts or only a battroid mode with armor? Quote
