Convectuoso Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 I just got shipping confirmation for the VF-1S Fast Packs
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 I just got my notification as well. I still haven't had a chance to really fiddle with the VF-1S yet. so this might be my excuse to do so.
Dobber Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 Anyone get a shipping notice yet for the rerelease of the VF-1S? Chris

Yes....looks very similar to the old stand-alone Yamato V1 GBP armor set packaging Would have preferred an illustration like the one used for their VF-1S Sometimes when it’s more of an homage it’s ok....

Stampeed Valkyrie Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 Mine arrived earlier today, got some quick pictures..
Perrych Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Received my fast pack today. The batteries are a pain to deal with but the set looks great. I have mine in G mode and it is cool. I just hope it holds together over time. I really wish they put the switches in a place where you didn’t have to unscrew or remove something to turn them on.
Dobber Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Any info on what’s happening with the VF-1S rerelease?

WTH, is this for real or just a fan made.

No. So far they've only announced that the Rick Hunter figure will ship at the end of may, and that preorders for the VF-1J and the Lisa Hayes figure will start soon.

Mine showed up too and I agree with you. The fast packs look great and the lights are a fun feature, but they should have made the switches a button on the outside. The covers for the main boosters are a very tight fit and not pleasant to get on and off. If the lights were easy to turn on and off, I would switch it on whenever I am in the room. As they are, I will likely never use the feature. Overall though Kitzconcept has a nice thing going with these 1/72 Veritechs. They just need a few manufacturing/tolerance tweaks and they'll be a great toy. When/if Roy's 1S gets a reissue I will get another one to see what's changed and to display in a different mode.
ScrambledValkyrie Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 I wonder why KC didn't go with more of a green color for the FAST packs? The blue has more of a DYRL look to me.
Ridden001 Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 I’m in between on this, sometimes the paint on this things just looks... thick. I don’t know how to explain what it is that I see. Sometimes it’s not there but sometimes it just looks too thick. It may just be my eyes though and I mean that. It may not be anything at all.

It's not you, dear good sir. It's just Harmony Gold. That's it.
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 So Rolling this thread back abit.. I finally acquired the Fokker 1S. This completes the SD collection for now... still waiting on the GBP Armor SD valk. Interesting thing worth noting is that only 2 valks have boxes that integrated the fast packs.. M&M Super 1Js 2 other valks bundled the fast packs with the valk in the brown box.. Hikaru 1S and CF 1A. The rest I got spare sets for... (not pictured)

Stampeed Valkyrie Posted May 8, 2019 Posted May 8, 2019 @jvmacross Try hitting up KC customer service via email. I got mine originally via BBTS but its no longer listed on their website. Ebay has it, but no way would I pay anywhere close to what they are asking for it.
vlenhoff Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Thanks for the replies! For now i am going to go the HMR route, but i might get a Kitzconcept in the
jvmacross Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 After 3 months, mine has become floppier than it was fresh out of the box....and that is with just being left alone. It really cannot carry the extra weight of the FP/armor.....I basically just put it into fighter mode and will leave it that way permanently. Also, the armor is cool and so is the lighting gimmick, but the nozzles break off when you try and remove the leg/FP armor covers.... I am curious if KC made any improvements on the VF-1J. I still think they are nice to "look" at, but no way would I pay MSRP for them. If KC offers a good PO discount I will bu the VF-1J Hikaru.
Sanity is Optional Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Apparently my Roy w/ fast packs is also delayed to June. Which I guess means it's a 2nd production batch, hopefully they fixed some things, but I'm not expecting too much.
