But, for instance, Max's TV VF-1A and VF-1J have more differences than just the head. That's what I don't like about DYRL valks.

Mog Posted March 26, 2019 Share 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.

DYRL VF-1S Posted March 26, 2019 Share 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.

You may want to check the "For Sale & Trade" section of the forum to see if anyone is selling one first. Make sure you do your research on the seller just in case.

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.

Capedbaldy Posted March 28, 2019 Share 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.

seti88 Posted March 28, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted March 29, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandai's really going overboard with the new markings Strike right after just releasing the original 2 months ago. at least soul blue release was after 3 years. 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.

Hopefully traffic will be reasonable since this valk doesn’t come with an exclusive display stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
