I'm hoping the VT-1 won't be far behind...

So glad to see this finally being made!

[Atheonyirh]

No indication of it being a web exclusive either, by the look of it?

 

edit: Derp, pickup page outright says they're for general release unless I'm horribly misinterpreting the translation.

its occasions like this am always reminded ...

 

[Mommar]

I think I'll get two of these.  I always wished I had bought two of the Yammies as I love how they look in Fighter and Gerwalk.

Woohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

[sumyumgoy]

Nice, definitely in for two

[Brand]

Bandai, you're killin' me here! Well, my wallet, anyway, but still! Of course, it's a willing sort of death... xD

 

Between the VF-2SS, the upcoming Tomahawk whenever it comes around, and now the Elintseeker, they're really out to clean out my bank account.

[sh9000]

All that money saved from not buying any Arcadia reissues to spend on HMR is an added bonus!

And yet you bought the Yamato releases, so how does this make any sense at all? It's not like you skipped on 1/60 scale completely.

Give the trolling a break, dude.

My post makes perfect sense.  There's money that I would have used that is now saved for HMR.  Stop overacting.  You've done this twice now.

And I'm standing by what I wrote both times. The fact that you are unable to see past your own bias is unfortunate.

[sh9000]

Anyway, I'll probably get at least five.  That way I can more easily make a custom VF-1D, VF-1D CF, and VF-1D VR.  If an official VF-1D gets made then I'll just convert them into some other VF-1.

Whoa whoa whoa! What's with the hostilities?! Do you remember love! Lmao

[Duymon]

Totally going to double-dip on the Elint. It's my favorite VF-1 Chassis :0

There's no hostility here.  Only two posts that have nothing to do with HMR.  I can't wait for the VE-1 preorder and what else is coming soon!

What's the VR?

Haha, wish I could say the same! I'm getting literally ruined by Bandai and Arcadia bombarding me from both sides and all my other collecting vices dusting off the scraps! 

But bring it all on I say!

[seti88]

price calls? 12k?

Virgin Road. 

I'll probably get one because I am a consumer whore, but another HMR VF-1 is just *yawn*

Though strangely enough, I'd be much more excited for a VT-1.

[Lolicon]

I'm going to guess 14k because Bandai can't reuse the add-on molds for another variant.

Fair enough. I'm all in on the HM-R releases, especially the VE-1 and hopefully the VT-1 isn't too far off.

I'm not building a small-scale army though, so I can afford the spendy Arcadia reissues that I'm into as well.

I'm thinking/hoping under 10k. 

[ChristopherB]

I'm really excited about the VE-1, it looks great.  Hopefully we'll see the line expand to include more non-VF-1 valkyries, similar to the upcoming VF-2SS.  Perhaps they'll even revisit the VF-25 since the initial releases were not well received due to all of the part swapping involved. 

[sumyumgoy]

Yea I'm playing catch-up so both Arcadia and Bandai are really doing a number on my budget lol.  I ended up cancelling Messer vf-1 because of it.  I can't say I'm not having fun though!

Yeah, me too. I think VE-1 is more niche, while VT-1 is more iconic.

No HMR super/strike VF-1 has been priced above 10K so far. But as @Lolicon mentioned, there's a lot of pieces there they can't reuse in other releases. I'm guessing it will be more like 12K.

just ignore it, several users don't respond bc it's the same stuff over and over.

as for the VE-1, i do like it but i hope there's some more tampo like on the Yamato VE-1.  

 

[bentusian]

Course 確認! 

[Tking22]

I'm in for one for consistency, I've got at least one of everything else in the line, even the fairly derpy missile effects. Not my favorite valk, not by a long shot, I always thought the VE-1 and VT-1 were quite fugly. Deciding not to get that absurdly over-priced SDF-1 PF freed up quite a bit of money for me too recently, thinking of hunting down extra stand alone packs for some of my brownies, and I guess I MIGHT get two of these, doubtful, but maybe.

[Roy Focker]

Yes!  This also means all the 2 seaters are a strong possibility.

[Convectuoso]

Wow!! this creates great expectations for future releases!

I'm glad I didn't spend on that awful Messer custom VF-1

[Chronocidal]

I might go cancel the Messer VF-1s I did order.. I was thinking they'd be good for customs, but then I keep forgetting that I never get around to making those.

Come on VT-1!

[ZorClone]

That's pretty cool.  I never did get one of the Yamatos since I wasn't making the wackier designs a priority back then on a far more limited budget but HMR has been good for filling in the gaps on things I never did get in 1/60 scale.

[derex3592]

I'll prob get one depending on pre-order madness, I have the Yamato 1:60V2 and is imho, it is the best V2, so if I were Arcadia...I'd be like "DOHH!" should have done a "Premium Version" re-release and beat Bandai to the punch!, But nope!

This is 100% speculation on my part, but I feel like Bandai and Arcadia have an understanding.  Bandai releases their HMR version of a valk first, then Arcadia follows weeks/months later, like they did with M&M.  I wouldn't be too surprised to see an Arcadia announcement a few weeks after this is released (and that is what I'm holding out for).

Again, though, that is just a guess on my part.
