jenius Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Man... I failed at the YF-29 complete set Preorder madness, and I failed at the TV Max VF-1A PO madness.... I can only imagine how hard I'm going to fail at this one. I did luck out on the 1S Hikaru PO so maybe there's a shred of hope. Quote

Expand It looks like it is another case of color changing. The 3M shows them as red, but they are often yellow in the anime. Here are some shots of the red shoulder triangles in the anime (one is even weirder, with the triangles outside of the black): But now you've got me thinking, maybe it only appears as red when Hikaru has the 1S? I wonder if they ever appear as red when Focker is piloting Skull Leader. I'll have to go back and look, but odds are they are more often yellow than red, at least when Focker is piloting, so I'll give Bandai the benefit of the doubt on that one. Quote
technoblue Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Fast packs are not a requirement for me at this scale. I have my fill of those in my Yamarcadia collection. My goal is to complete the TV squadron, and Roy brings us one step closer to that which is pretty sweet. Looking forward to more news as it comes. Quote

Expand These are simply colouring mistakes in the animation process, there are quiet a few in the series. Quote
nathans82 Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 I wonder how long Bandai will take to get the TV Super parts after the VF-1S Roy is released. Quote
Chronocidal Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 I'm waiting for Bandai to announce that the only way to get the TV super packs will be bundled with a repacked/modified VF-1S with Hikaru's name and figure included. I'm just going to accept that I will be paying extra to get two of these, but then I'm pretty much done until we get a VF-1D/VT-1. Quote

Expand There are definitely a lot of animation errors in the series, no doubt. But there is always that question of what is intentional versus animation error. The red triangles show up in more than just those few scenes, and they show up in multiple episodes. I don't want to spam the thread with a bunch of screenshots, but they are there. Currently, I'm thinking the red triangles only show up (sometimes) in episodes 28 and on, and even then it's maybe a 50/50 split between red and yellow. It may be that you never see red triangles on Skull Leader when Focker pilots it, in which case props to Bandai I guess for getting it right (intentionally or unintentionally). Memory is a funny thing, as when I think of TV skull leader in my head I pretty much always see it with red triangles, but in the animation that is a minority of the time. Quote
Chewie Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 So uh, can I call dibs on someones extra if I can't get one? I have been holding out patiently for this one. Quote
DewPoint Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 I decided to not get into this line, but I'll be there on PO night to see if the bloodbath is really going to be as bad as we all expect. Quote
levzloi Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 If I'm not able to secure this pre-order, I have a still in shipper box unopened MSIB VF-1S Hikaru that I've been saving for barter and I'll trade strait across for a Roy VF-1S. Just putting it out there. Quote

DewPoint Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Well that is a post-Roy, Hikaru piloted VF-1S. He did get it nearly destroyed getting Misa out of the hole in Alaska. Rebuilt with available (possibly salvaged) parts! Quote
Chronocidal Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Did they post an actual date for this pre-order nightmare yet, or are we waiting on confirmation? Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Ooh boy, this is going to be a tough pre-order. Hopefully I can snag at least 2. If not, well I have another spare YF-29 on order, maybe someone will be willing to trade. Quote

Paco Grande Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Sorry I'm a complete noob when it comes to the differences between the TV and DYRL versions. I'm collecting the DYRL versions. Are there enough differences that we expect a separate release for the Roy DYRL version? Or is it close enough that Bandai may only do one release for Roy? The markings are the main differences correct? But the white plastic is the same for TV and DYRL? Or is it a different shade of white? Also they appear to have changed the 1S headsculpt for the TV version. But all I can see that's obvious are the 4 antenna bases are larger. I would rather wait for the DYRL version but I'm not sure it will even happen and if it does it may be a while. Thanks! Quote
technoblue Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 The aesthetic differences between Roy's TV and DYRL 1S are minor if you can look past them. The real change comes with the included pilot. The TV version uses a different color and a different molding when compared to the TV version. Check out RedComet's modified Hikaru with Roy markings above and compare that to the prototype images of Bandai's TV Roy. Quote
derex3592 Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Good luck to all who go for this one! You're gonna need it. Quote

Now I'm really hoping for travel restrictions to be eased so I can just pick one up in person. Expand Of course not! They did it on purpose and planned it this way from the start to give you different sized pilots for uncompromised 3D greatness! Quote

I assume if Bandai used the same white plastic on both their TV and DYRL releases the white should at least be the same. Is it blasphemy to have a TV VF-1S among DYRL VF-1's on a shelf? Probably!
