Mog Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Count me as another person that prefers Max in his 1A ride. That's the bird where he established his reputation as a bad-ass ace. That's the bird he was flying when he bested Milia. I know the 1J's are the cool looking pair, but I still have a soft spot for the TV-Max 1A. Quote

DYRL VF-1S Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 So, I’m a little late for ordering the Missile Set. Looks like Nin-Nin-Game and Nippon-Yasan have them up for pre-order still. Either one reliable? Both are pay upfront and I know there are a lot of sources that don’t have quantity for the pre-order and just hunt for it after release. Quote
Reïvaj Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 I don't know about Nin-Nin-Game but I think you're safe with N-Y . Quote

DYRL VF-1S Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Thanks. Took the advice and ordered on NY! Quote
easnoddy Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Definitely in for the DX VF-1A Max and every toy in this line! Best Macross toy ever. Quote

Expand I'm afraid I might be right behind you. Getting the Max 1A pretty much guarantees I'll get a Kakazaki, should they make one. And I'm still pretty interested in at least a super valkyrie of some variety. Still on the fence about another GBP set. My wallet is scared enough as-is. Quote

Capedbaldy Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 I think it will sell well. This kind of toy appeals to casuals and the Hik sold like gangbusters. It's big, has metal, and looks amazing. I don't know many people that wanted the Hik will double dip though... BUT they are the same price as an Arcadia 1/60 give or take. To me it's a much better value. The TV valks look great in Bat mode but, as fighters there is just too much white. I am sure it was a conscience choice to keep animation simple but they look kind of boring. Quote
seti88 Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Dont worry ....bandai's tampo's would add details to empty areas.. I am biased cos I like the contrast of blue and white even in fighter.... Quote
That one dude Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 Websites up https://tamashii.jp/special/macross/vf-1a_max/ Pre orders start on April 8th Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 That blue looks enticing. But I'm just glad that they've already built a VF-1A head. Just some few minor tweaks, I'm all ready to wait for Hikaru's 1A announcement. Quote

Bolt Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 It does look really good, I’ll give it that. But I’m keeping my 1/48 collection SMALL. Too many scales already! Quote

Bandai already pulling the same bullsh!t with these missiles but i'm going to hold out until they announce a new markings exclusive vf-1. Then i'll prob start buying. Quote
