fifbeat Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 yeah Roy DYRL 1S is coming followed by Regult and Glaug. Cool, so no need to pay high dollar for the previous "Hi Metal" Roy. If anyone can still answer those others questions... cheers. Quote
F360 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) I've been so out of the loop.... can someone fill me in? So what's the difference between the Hi-Metal R and the original Hi-Metal line? Correct me if I'm wrong: the only Hi-Metal R's that have been released so far are the VF-1S Strike Valkyrie (Red/Black) and VF-1J Armored Valkyrie? Do the two above have the same plastic color (off white/grayish)? Is a Hi-Metal VF-1S (Black/Yellow) coming out soon? Thanks so much in advance. I've done research on the net, but I still want someone from this forum to clarify for me. Appreciate your replies in advance. The main difference is new diecast shoulder joints , much better overall tightness , and a bit difference in color. The only current ones out are VF-1S Strike Valkyrie (Red/Black) and VF-1J Armored Valkyrie They are both off white/grayish color The Hi-Metal VF-1S (Black/Yellow) is coming out soon (apirl/2016) , you can still preorder it https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/14320-hi-metal-r-vf-1s-strike-valkyrie-roy-focker-special-limited-edition.html comparison review here http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=8199 Edited January 11, 2016 by F360 Quote
fifbeat Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 F360.... thanks for the info. I should have known better to check out Anymoon first, but I've been paying closer attention to his youtube channel than his website lately. That Hi-Metal R VF-1S looks VERY gray... I'm assuming it's just the way the photography is. Quote

fifbeat Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Usually I post the video about the same time but I've been under the weather and my voice is pretty rough. Getting better though. That totally explained it. Excellent read on the link F360 provided. I swear, I haven't visited your site since 1964! But have been keeping a close watch on most of your videos. Quote

fifbeat Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 since 19 ...wait a minute.. It's just a play on how long it has been since I've been on his site. His youtube vids are much better. Sometimes he has female models doing transformations. Quote
jenius Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 I wish I had models doing transformations! Unfortunately, that was just a one time thing... for now at least.Glad you're liking the videos though! I think I still have lots of room for improvement there but I'm working on it. Quote
Big s Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Fifbeat The1s Roy is a web exclusive so you may have to pay more. From what I understand some Japanese retailers are still have the preorder open, but I'm not sure of the current pricing. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Still waiting for the VF-1A/J CF. Quote
Loop Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Welcome Back Fifbeat! I have not seen you around in years, I think I bought my Yamato 1/60 v2 Max & Millia off of you back then and have not seen you around since. Good to see members come back. Quote

Yeah, Macross keeps me coming back. I get in, and out, of it every time. Obsessions always come back to haunt me. Something about this stuff that can't be ignored. These valks are like drugs.

arbit Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 What are the chances we get M&M as a set? Or not marketable that way? Quote

EXO Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 there's always a chance of reissues and other variants. The glaug on the other hand... Quote
spanner Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 no more regults meh.. bring on the Monster already!!! Quote
fifbeat Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 They still have pre-orders up for Regults at both Yesasia and Motor City Toys. Quote
Big s Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I just took a look at that motor city toys page and they were a bit high priced, but not as much as some others. They do seem to have a shipping discount if you spend over $150 that could help people that have trouble getting a preorder. I have never ordered from them and didn't know the site existed but they have an interesting selection of items. Quote
Universe1010 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 ^ thanks but I got the preorder in on amazon Japan priced a bit higher at 8900 jpy and ships internationally too. The US dollar isn't too hot now anyway. I rather pay in yen Quote

I have never ordered from them and didn't know the site existed but they have an interesting selection of items. I know the place is at least legit. I never heard of them until I found a youtube video of a toy reviewer who plugged the company. Quote

Saburo Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Clearly someone wasn't collecting a couple years ago when it was like 80 Yen to a dollar. I remember when it dropped to 71 yen to the dollar, those were some expensive times. Quote
Universe1010 Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Clearly someone wasn't collecting a couple years ago when it was like 80 Yen to a dollar. Yep recently started with macross. its 80 to 1 Canadian dollar as of now. I really hope it rebounds back the USD is killing us Canadians! Quote
Graham Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Still waiting for the news on the Hi-Metal VF-2SS with SAP. Honestly, I'm just so burnt out on anything that's SDFM TV or DYRL related. Quote
Big s Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 After seeing the non bandai vf2ss the hmr version may be an interesting item and I really hope that it gets made along with some of the other prototypes that have been teased. Quote
Daedalus Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Glaug is back up for preorders at HLJ, got one! https://secure.hlj.com/product/BANN04090/Act Quote
