Now all we need is the zentradi uniform to go with it... please??? uniform would be too tempting for p-bandai to pass up! Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Woo hoo! One of the Yamato 1/48s I don’t own; pumped to get my hands on the DX Quote
eggy99 Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Dang! We all thought it would be 1S Focker/TV Hikaru to coincide with Super Packs. I'm in for 1 TV Max for sure! Looks like DX Chogokin is concentrating on SDFM first instead of mixing it up with DYRL. Personally I only want SDFM units. LOL! Still no ejection warning symbols! Looks Iike an September release! 1 DX VF-1 every 9 months!!! Edited March 23, 2019 by eggy99 Quote
Convectuoso Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 And I'm still waiting for this variant to be released in HMR format Quote
ScrambledValkyrie Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 I’m also surprised that Max is the next DX VF-1, but glad to see that they are sticking with TV for now and working to build Vermillion. I agree with @Convectuoso that they should have already made this in HMR. They have to do a DX Roy 1S at some point, and I can wait. Quote

I am very happy that they are focusing on SDFM first; personally I’m not too big a fan of DYRL. Over the years the Yamato toy releases seemed to show a bias on DYRL (eg the SSP with movie style armour, pilot suit design that came with the 1S, yellow tipped reaction missiles, etc), so anything SDFM is very welcome. I just hope Bandai will keep this up. Edited March 23, 2019 by rdrunner Quote
Arthurius Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) OH NO, NOT VF-1A MAX, NOOOOOOOOOOO, anything but him!!! Damn this, i may actually have to come back from the dead on this size now eventhough i am now only doing HMR... vf-1a max is just too much for even me to resist!!! But i still have a chance as these things always get well sold out before i wake up to make a preorder anyways, so crisis may still be averted and money remains in my pocket...

It didn’t take long last time from the announcement of the 1J to PO date on 7/29. It may come in the next two to three weeks if I were to guess. Quote
lechuck Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Excellent! Now I don't need to worry about delegating funds for a potential DX VF-1S this year. Quote
Bishop Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Great, another preorder night in perspective! Quote
sh9000 Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Awesome! I love that pose. Preorder should be 3/31. I’ll be getting it for sure. Hoping for a surprise as well for the HMR line. This thread should be changed to DX Chogokin VF-1. Edited March 23, 2019 by sh9000 Quote
Lolicon Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 I have zero interest in replacing my Yamato Max 1A with this thing. However... I really want one just so I can detail it up. All that plain white space bothers me. Quote
sumyumgoy Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Yes! I'm in . This and Hayao are my favorite schemes. Quote
technoblue Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 HaHa! This is awesome news! I love the direction Bandai is taking with this line. Even though I would have been happy seeing TV Roy up front too, it’s nice to see them change it up with Max—so unexpected. Seeing a complete TV squad at this scale will be a very cool thing if they go all the way and give us Kaki and then Roy. Quote
Duymon Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 It's great to get a VF-1A max TV. Can't wait until I have the full Vermilion Squadron Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Not what I was expecting, but glad I can finally get a Max 1A, after the HMR and Arcadia Max 1Js. Quote
Slave IV Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Based on what I currently have, another SDFM Max 1A was the highest want on my liat in any format. Glad to see it as a DX! Now, seeing as how this doesn’t come with missiles, who’s about to order more missile sets? Lol! Quote
Gabe Q Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Yay! Time to nitpick. The head seems a tad bit narrow. Definite must buy for me, regardless. Quote
derex3592 Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Well...that was unexpected news to wake up to..I dunno, as much I LOVE Max, I may have to sit this one out, my 1:60v2 is weathered and still sitting pretty, and I just DON'T have the room to do all new 1:48's. Roy will be a must have though. Pre-Order night is gonna be hell. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 I hope Bandai releases the Zentran uniform and figures (Hikaru, Misa, and Kakyzaky) to be placed in the uniforms pocket. this is really exciting news. i wonder if Kakyzaky VF-1A is next. Quote
Foblander Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Yes! This is my dream Macross toy I wanted to pick up the Yamato V2 version of TV Max, but it has always been a bit expensive paying aftermarket and I really dislike the initial V2 redesigned crotch locking mechanism. Quote
Foblander Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 BTW, how do you guys hold this toy in 1/48 scale? I usually pick it up with both hands by the legs with my pinkies resting under the feet. The 1/60 I could comfortably hold it by gently pinching the chest and backpack since it was light enough where I didn't feel like it would cause any stress on the toy. With the 1/48 I don't feel comfortable doing that since there is so much weight in it's legs. Lol Quote
slide Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Whoever is planning the DX VF-1 line is a monster... a cruel, Fafnir-level monster who understands what we want, and how to separate us from our money Just now, Slave IV said: Based on what I currently have, another SDFM Max 1A was the highest want on my liat in any format. Glad to see it as a DX! Now, seeing as how this doesn’t come with missiles, who’s about to order more missile sets? Lol! I was planning on picking up only a TV Roy only in this line... but a DX Max 1A........... Can't resist.................... and I'll need 2 sets of Missiles I guess... I tip my hat to thee, whomever is in charge of this line over at Bandai.... Just now, Convectuoso said: And I'm still waiting for this variant to be released in HMR format BUT WHAT HE SAID!!!!!!!!!!! PO madness 31st? Edited March 23, 2019 by slide Quote
seti88 Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 31st is a Sunday? Perhaps apr 1st?? Fake news?? Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Yeah that seems like an odd day for PO madness. Quote

DYRL VF-1S Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Anyone think this announcement will open up more VF-1J stock w/o stand? Quote
Roy Focker Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 I'm not sure. Never been a big fan of Max's VF-1A. If I can find it at on Amazon for the MSRP and enjoy cheap fast shipping maybe I'll get it. Really want to limit my collection on these things to just a single VF of every type. When it comes to VF-1A I prefer to have a brown massive production type over Max. Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) ??? no Zentraedi uniform no missiles on tail fins what is Bandai thinking imagine they come out with a Bandai exclusive missile set with tail fin missiles for 9600yen and then a 20,000yen uniform. man, Bandai really wants us to buy Kaki so bad they put out max to lead us to complete Vermillion. they better make Kaki super exclusive or nobody going to want him. Edited March 23, 2019 by davidwhangchoi Quote
vlenhoff Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 All i wanted was the vermilion squadron. Thanks Bandai! Quote
