Brilliant pics as always. Keep them coming

I actually got a ship notification for my Roy fast packs from Nipponyassan! I got upgraded shipping also. Paid for EMS, I got a UPS tracking number. Maybe they are getting their act together.

I was still looking for a 1/48 VF-1S for under $300 shipped directly to me. and finally amazon Japan let some ship directly to the U.S. for 28,450yen about $260 US if your still looking they have 4 left for that price. good luck

Took a quick shot of the VF-1S a few weeks ago.  My assistant is overseeing the photo shoot. 

Fantastic shot! Excellent lighting and composition, as usual.

Nice, if I didn't already have mine, I'd be all over that.

I'm still amazed at the articulation on these DX toys.  

You can get them shooting from prone!

 

Of course it looks awesome standing too.

I wonder if US retailers will carry these as Big West and Harmony Gold have finally decided to play nice.

The 1J has grey visor in that pic. Wonder if it will come bundled as a set.

Looks like we might actually be getting a grey goggle gift set, HMR-style. Nice. 22 Apr is a Thursday, so I'm wondering if they'll release info about it that day and then pre-orders start the next day, since those generally happen on Fridays. I also wonder how quickly sites like Mandarake are going to be flooded with 1Js or, at the very least, we'll see the price come down to something more reasonable.

That would be nice, but I wouldn't hold my breath; pre-ordering these things would certainly be less dramatic, stressful, and frustrating though.

I am pretty sure bandai will release these as a Full Set to take our money lol

[Ryoma]

Happy about the GBP release but i was really hoping for a YF-21 for the end of the year.

For a moment there, i read it as in the year 2022... 

which in this pandemic, think in terms of years was pre-conditioned since last year...

[BroTaku79]

if they choose to release this as a full set..I wonder what the price point is going to be...guessing around 28900 yen....

It would be great if it comes as a set with the grey visor VF-1J since a lot of people probably missed out on the original release, myself included 

[Toonz]

i hope bandai will also release a set without the 1J

Yes, that would be good as well.

I thought the same. I almost felt we'd been past April already. It's been that sort of year.

Cool.  I wonder if it will be released as Hikaru’s or labeled as just an Armored Valkyrie like the HMR.

Also TV closed fist hands.  If they’re not oversized and are compatible with an armorless VF-1, then I would be happy to incorporate them into poses.

Maybe the grey goggle is part of the armor set and fits over the the existing figure? That would make the most sense in many ways. I’d actually prefer a set but happy to save some money if they only release the armor.
