jvmacross Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 Everything? All we know is that there has never been a Japanese M&M "DX" type PT toy release that did not include the Super Parts since Takatoku released the 1/55 Max and Millia VF-1Js.....but the Maruyama and other Bandai releases show that there are exceptions to eveything Bandai does....heck, if you want to include more recent releases than the Takatokus, you can also include the HM VF-1J Max, the Bandai re-releases of the Max and Millia VF-1J...or even the Toynami "Masterpieces"...for some non-Super-Packed releases.... My money is currently on naked releases...but would be very glad (would prefer) if they went with combo packs...one regular and one TWE, because why not....both methods are now getting just as difficult to acquire these days anyways....

But that's how it is this time for me for this DX 1/48 VF-1 line. And it's why I only have Hikaru's VF-1J and VF-1S. I didn't PO his VF-1D nor planning on getting his VT-1 if ever there will be one.

Expand oops...thought you said the DX VF-1A Hikaru would be the last one you'd get in the Bandai DX line? Maybe Bandai will decide to sell it as a combo pack only! Quote

Maybe Bandai will decide to sell it as a combo pack only! Expand Yup. That's the plan. Unless I misunderstood the 'Gotta Catch 'Em All' phrase with the pic of the Skull Squadron implying I should get everything? Hopefully it's a combo since the DYRL SSP doesn't have Hikaru's VF-1A modex number. Edited May 1, 2021 by no3Ljm Quote
Chronocidal Posted May 1, 2021 Posted May 1, 2021 I fully expect the future VF-1A/S releases to just include the matching modex roundels for the boosters, unless Bandai just repeats how they did the original HM releases, and we get the rest of them as bundled web releases. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted May 1, 2021 Posted May 1, 2021 My only concern is if M&M have WHITE accents, and not the hideous grey like the latest HMR's. Quote

Expand The gray/white is less important to me than Bandai taking "liberties" with the entire scheme based on individual animation frames. I'm half expecting them to take another completely unique take on the entire scheme, just because they can. Quote
uzernaem Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 Anyone else has a feeling that a Hikaru TV VF-1S with Super parts giftset is in the plans? I mean, that valk release itself is a must for a Macross toyline, while Bandai has to add an extra to differentiate it from Roy Focker version. Quote

easnoddy Posted May 4, 2021 Posted May 4, 2021 Yawn. I just want the other 2 VF-1A supers in HMR. I don't have PO for the VF-1D or GBP-1S, will see how available those are around release time. Quote
Saburo Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 I wanted to ask if anyone who ordered the 2nd release of Super Parts from Big in Japan have you received your sets via DHL? Quote
danth Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 Oy vey. I ordered some TV super parts from Okini land. I've heard nothing from them since. Those have been out for a while, right? I just bugged them about it, we'll see how they respond. But I assume it's going to be a cancelled preorder. I'm so out of the loop. It sounds like the GBP armors were just recently on order and instantly sold out? Quote

So it only released recently and then there’s the holiday so it will be shipped out soon . Quote
