Maybe the author is describing that feature? Probably that is what they meant...tot for a second there, it meant the radome could extend the edges ala luca's vf-25 or vf-171ex. lost in translation.... its good the radome can be detached..saw this older pic from macrossjunkie and i think its quite fetching without a radome too...

Lolicon Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Finally had some time to fix up the VF-2SS SAP a bit so they didn't look so plain. It's the best VF-2SS toy around so I wanted it to not look so out of place next to my 1/60s. Quote

Not sure if even @sh9000 is getting that many. @amptor -- Are you just a really big fan of this and the VT-1? Speaking of VT-1, I'd also really love to see a PO soon. But with the last HMR releases being VF-1 variants, I'm guessing Bandai will mix it up and announce something else, like a destroid maybe (hopefully the Tomahawk). Indeed. It is a beautiful valk. Hoping the VT-1 turns out just as well. I still have to order the VF-1A super that is my favorite Hikaru model. Too bad I missed out on the Fokker strike. Quote
borgified Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 You guys are total enablers!! Just ordered the last Hi-Metal R VF-2SS from Manda (after much debate), passed the VF-1J with the GBP as I need to re-coupe my funds for the Elintseeker that I want to get. Arriving in two weeks time when I get confirmation when its has been shipped. Quote
tekering Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) To be honest, I've never been much of a fan of the barely-glimpsed "ELINT Seeker" Valkyrie, but Bandai's version is unexpectedly cool. Certainly my favorite rendition of this design to date... and another solid win for the HMR line. Edited January 28, 2018 by tekering Quote
mechaninac Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 I don't collect DYRL?, in general, but I make an exception to the VE-1 and VT-1; they're just too unique to pass... specially since I passed on the 1/60s Quote
jenius Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 100% agree. The DYRL paint jobs bore me to death and I'll probably sell all my HMR DYRL toys off when the line is dead some day and I've taken a few required group shots... but I'll probably hold on to the Elint and SuperO. I sold off my Yammys to make room and I definitely regret it. Quote
amptor Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 I ordered my VF-1A from MyKombini and paid off all my shipping on AE so I should be receiving my 9 VE-1 Elints and one VF-1A Super which is my favorite super aside from Max Jenius of course. Now waiting for preorders for VT-1 Super Ostrich to pop up and I'm not sure how many to buy yet Quote
seti88 Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) and here i am thinking if i should re-order again the ve-1 as i cancelled one copy of two. The option of removing the radome and having just a naked double seater so-called low-viz valk is running in my head.... Edited January 28, 2018 by seti88 Quote

sh9000 Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 The VE-1 is looking good in every pic of it. With more DYRL Valkyries coming out, I need some HMR DYRL enemy mecha. Quote

Graham Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 THe VF-2SS with SAP is definitely one of the nicest looking VFs, despite it not being a Kawamori design. Ahd the HM-R version is a fantastic loooking toy. Even more so with the above detailing. Quote
amptor Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 All Nine of my VT-1 Elint Seekers have shipped. Grab them while they are hot. Quote

Roy Focker Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Got my shipping notice now I wait 10 to 30 days. Quote
derex3592 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Shipping notice for my Elint from AmiAmi this morning in my inbox. Quote
Nonrenormalizable Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Anyone know if NY is shipping them out yet? Got a preparation notice, but no shipment yet Quote

I sold off my Yammys to make room and I definitely regret it. Reading this completely bummed me out. Maybe because it was your reviews of the HMR line that got me collecting. Oh well, I'm happy with the HMRs I've picked up, and still looking forward to a few more. Quote
jenius Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Me preference for TV paint schemes shouldn't bum you out! I don't have enough room to keep everything... Right now the only true DYRL HMR release is Hikaru's strike 1S and his upcoming 1A... Not much of a purge. Quote

amptor Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 I prefer the TV paint schemes for max/milia only really. Well the marriage ones or whatever, all red and all blue. Not a big fan of the white chestplace variations. Quote

Though, that one can mostly be counted in either the TV or DYRL group, as long as you fix the head markings. Looking back, I never intended to grab all of the HMRs, but I've still grabbed multiples of most of the releases. No Hikaru 1S though. At this point I'm mostly just wanting sets of TV fast packs to outfit my CFs. Quote
amptor Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Oddly I'm not a fan of the Hikaru movie 1S and I like the 1A. Quote

HMR has been fuzzy on DYRL vs TV schemes so we'll see how this goes. Quote
Convectuoso Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 I hope we get more TV releases. There are still a few valks and enemy mecha I need for my collection Quote

Stampeed Valkyrie Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 I feel like the odd one out here with just 1 VE-1 coming from HLJ. I'd like to see more TV and DYRL VF-1s.. just not all at once I just caught up with the Hi Metal -R releases don't wanna get buried again. Quote
derex3592 Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 They need to finish out the destroids and do a TV Q Rau, after that they can crank out whatever they want.. Quote
seti88 Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 I am hoping they will release the valk launch arm like in the original display. The missile effect parts were out of the blue, hopefully they will start releasing a HMR accessory set each year. Quote
