Vi-RS Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Sharing from toysdaily stonekeung 01 我用自己隻HI-METAL 1S影左比較圖 舊版膊頭關節係膠 Besides the head sculpt, so bandai also improved the locking mechanism by having a notch on the chest plate and back plate? Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 I find it awkward that the Skull mark is kinda high on the heatshield. Quote

spanner Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Roy's VF-1S is a little more expensive than Hikaru.. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/14320-hi-metal-r-vf-1s-strike-valkyrie-roy-focker-special-limited-edition.html Quote

Keiichi Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Dangit, I knew they were going to re-visit Roy's VF-1S in the Hi-Metal R line (as did everyone else), but I had told myself that I was going to skip it since I already had the previous Hi-Metal 1S. I'll just get Hikaru's 1S to enjoy the improvements, I said. Unfortunately my conviction could not resist the one two combo of actually seeing a new Roy 1S and the spiffy exclusive stand (which I know is just a smoke grey Act 5 Stage with a simple jolly roger tampo, but it looks cool!). Preordered, good job me. I will say though, one thing that really struck me about the 1J GBP was how tight all the joints were, much tighter than the old Roy 1S ever was. It'll be nice to have that improvement on a new Roy 1S. Roy's VF-1S is a little more expensive than Hikaru.. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/14320-hi-metal-r-vf-1s-strike-valkyrie-roy-focker-special-limited-edition.html Yeah, no discounts on web exclusives. In fact this is more than twice as expensive as the previous Hi-Metal Roy 1S was! I just checked my AmiAmi shipment email from 2010 and Roy's 1S cost just 4,710JPY. Of course the yen was a heck of a lot stronger back in 2010, but still, it's quite a difference. Quote
Mommar Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Guess I missed the three they must have had... Yeah, me too... Quote
jvmacross Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Hopefully Bandai sticks to their announced plans for this line...to me it's the best overall Macross toy line available. I can see it easily expand to other Macross series once they finish up with SDFM/DYRL. Quote
TheFallen Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Guess I missed the three they must have had... I just keep checking randomly and that is how I have been lucky. Captain Phasma was also available so I grabbed her as well. Hopefully Bandai sticks to their announced plans for this line...to me it's the best overall Macross toy line available. I can see it easily expand to other Macross series once they finish up with SDFM/DYRL. They already have the tooling for the VF-19 so it is certainly possible. I was initially excited with this line when it was first shown and then greatly disappointed when I couldn't get preorders in but now that everything seems to be attainable I am extremely excited again. In my opinion, the greatest thing about this line is the enemy mecha. Valkyries are great and all but seeing the Regult and the Glaug is awesome. I am not a huge Macross fan but I adore the mech designs and that is enough for me to get everything Bandai chooses to make in this line. I hope the early success and excitement transfers to a robust line expanding throughout the multiple Macross series. Quote

I'm glad I won't have a problem getting any of them because of what happened with the VF-1S. Glaug looks incredible and I am strongly considering getting 2 of them. Quote
Drad Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 This line seems to be much more affordable so I'd like to see it continue. I'd love to be able to get all of the TV Valks eventually. Destroids would be great, too. Quote
jenius Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 The Hikaru with GBP cost approximately the same as the Toynami 1/100 with GBP so price is definitely going for the HMR line... though the Focker release is a bit pricey due to that Tamashii mark up. Quote

Glaug looks incredible and I am strongly considering getting 2 of them. I still don't have a VF-1S preorder secured but when the GBP was released they were readily available. AmiAmi even had them to buy earlier this week. I am hoping that turns out to be true the VF-1S as well so I guess we will see in 4 weeks. I am thinking about getting 2 VF-1S and putting 1 under the GBP Armour and putting the Strike Parts on the VF-1J, canon be damned Quote
calubin_175 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 I hope i could get a Regult upon release. The sculpts of the non-transformable designs are supervised by Miyatake. Quote

Glad its a little cheaper than the armored one, but I was more than happy to pay the NY price. I'll likely get one for my brother as well for Christmas. He remembered watching Robotech as a kid than I do since he was born in the 70s This line will look awesome next to my monsterarts collection. Quote
mog_kupo Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Release date for the Hikaru VF-1S November 28, according to the Tamashii Web http://tamashii.jp/item/11068/ Quote
QEssential Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Hi all, anywhere still have the Hikaru VF-1S due out in Nov? They seem to be sold out or they have stopped taking orders. Really want this piece, can someone advice? Quote
EXO Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Hopefully you'll see some dealers put some up. That's how I got mine and for the original price offered, no mark ups. You just have to do it right around release, don't wait. Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Hi all, anywhere still have the Hikaru VF-1S due out in Nov? They seem to be sold out or they have stopped taking orders. Really want this piece, can someone advice? The only advice we can give since it's already sold out in most of the online stores is wait until it gets released. There might be a chance like the VF-1J GBP that after a few days or week, it has restocks. So make sure you watch out for those online stores by the time of release. Good luck! Quote
QEssential Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Thanks guys! Guess I am just paranoid about not being able to get one. On another note, its great to be back on MacrossWorld! Quote
