sh9000 Posted January 28 Posted January 28 DX VF-1A TV Max gets released. HMR VF-1A TV Max and Kakizaki get released. DX VT-1 gets released. HMR DYRL N-Ger gets released? DX VF-1A Angel Birds gets released. HMR VF-1A Angel Birds gets released? Yeah there's no real release pattern. One can only hope. Quote
jvmacross Posted January 28 Posted January 28 A dual release of the Tomahawk and Phalanx just like what they did with the Max and Kakizaki -1As would be great... It must be a running joke at Bandai at this point.... Quote
Foblander Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Is it still possible to purchase a vf-1a max at a reasonable price or did that ship sail? 😅 Quote

As in close to original retail price? Not really. That ship sailed a long time ago, unfortunately. Looks like Mandarake currently has one for ¥45,000 ($300). They're usually a decent reflection of secondary market prices. All the usual auction and third party merchant sites in Japan list it for higher than that. You might run into someone here or on one of the FB groups who is willing to sell it for less, but I don't want to get your hopes up. Edit: I just realized that you're asking about HM-R, not DX. Those are selling on Mandarake for about ¥12,000. You have to be fast to grab one, though. The auction sites are listing for a wider range, from ¥9500 to ¥17,000. Since it was a TWE release, there aren't as many of them in circulation. Edited January 28 by Anasazi37 Quote
Foblander Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Thanks for the info! I have the DX version, but prefer to swoosh it around in HMR form 😁 I'll keep an eye out on Mandarake 👍 Quote
sh9000 Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Keep this search on your computer and phone and check it from time to time. It will help. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/listPage/list?page=1&keyword=hi-metal Quote
Chronocidal Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Just searched on a whim, and this popped up. Hope someone who missed it can grab one! https://www.hlj.com/hi-metal-r-vf-1j-armored-valkyrie-hikaru-ichijo-machine-revival-ver-bans64968 Quote

Had a magazine sitting in private warehouse and was looking for something to ship it with. Usually i would add on a cheaper thing to ship together but hey, yes, Impulse buy. 😂 Quote

Test_Pilot_2 Posted February 16 Posted February 16 (edited) Anyone else receive a "change of design email" from AmiAmi for the VF-0A Shin + Ghost? What does that even mean? Edited February 16 by Test_Pilot_2 Quote
Rhubarbarian Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Ha, I also got the e-mail and came here to see if anyone had any specific info on it. AmiAmi does update their photos and re-lists a figure whenever something gets a design update, so I don't think it's super unusual. I tried doing some surface digging, but the Tamashii Nations sites/blogs/Twitter X accounts didn't have anything on it that I could find, so I guess we'll find out tomorrow. Quote

Just got that email too, sounds to me like Shin's 0A might look a bit different from the Pre-order pics... but I could be wrong. Quote
sh9000 Posted February 16 Posted February 16 @Foblander I hope you check your PM for the HMR item you were looking for. Quote

MKT Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Perhaps Bandai is updating the landing gears to be white instead of silver Quote

Froy Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Aren't those markings on the prototype stage generally decals? Quote
Chronocidal Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Yeah, but given Bandai's penchant for "creative" interpretations for how numbers are supposed to be printed, it's good to have the reassurance that they're not screwing up another release on purpose. Quote
Convectuoso Posted March 21 Posted March 21 (edited) Seems like more info on the Fire Valkyrie will come in this magazine. And this was posted on Twitter (X) Edited March 21 by Convectuoso Quote
twich Posted March 21 Posted March 21 I am looking forward to this and the DX Chogokin VF-19 Kai Fire Valkyrie. I am still on the fence about a VF-11 with speaker boobs for Mylene custom, but might be my only chance to get a transforming VF-11, unless Bandai decides to give it the DX treatment. Twich Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 21 Posted March 21 What I really want them to do is give us an HMR YF-19/YF-21 pair based on those molds, so I can have a nice compact set for my desk at work. If they can pull off the old Yamato Fire Valk in that scale, it should be an easy step to make the YF-19 as well. I think the MAXL is going to be better off as one of their part-swapping kits though. I don't think there's any way you're going to get a decent transforming version of Mylene's valk at any scale with those wild proportional changes. Quote

Spark-O-Matic Posted April 13 Posted April 13 Has there been any new info about her since last year? Quote
