chyll2 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 box is the same format with their delta DX toys. And it looks like it will really have frosted canopy like the Delta Quote
seti88 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) Is it easy to remove the frosting i wonder.. Edited July 26, 2018 by seti88 Quote

Here's a pic I took a few years back of some of my 1J. (I have more....Such as model kits, the old Yammies but they are all in Fighter mode and in GBP, some other SD's too like the Egg ones but also in Fighter mode....that's just on top of my head...).

Lolicon Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 Ewww I hope the final product doesn't have a frosted canopy. Quote

claude grant Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I would love to have those hands to replace on ALL of my Yamato 1/48th's! Quote

Ridden001 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) AND....then I see the ugly font used for the "pilot name" and "vermillion leader" It looks that way on a lot of real world fighters though. Of course, I will buy it. I agree also with Mommar on the VF-1S. As far as the pre-order goes, I just accept that I will pay a $20-$40 mark up on the release date as I have never made a pre order window in my life with DX toys. For anyone new, the team on hear is not joking when they say "30 seconds". I have learned though that the fear of not getting one if you miss the pre order is irrational. They are always there on the release date with a mark up of about 10 -15% which I can live with. I do still like the experience of trying to get a pre order and I try it every time anyway. It has the excitement of Christmas morning. Edited July 26, 2018 by Ridden001 Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I have a feeling bandai will release enough for us all. New mold, reasonable price. There should be enough units for preorder. One can dream right??? Quote
MikeRoz Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) SLT Hikaru Ichijo? Edited July 26, 2018 by MikeRoz Quote

Lolicon Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 Bandai is putting all this effort into engineering an amazing VF-1 and they still can't be bothered to paint the landing gear white. *grumble* It's not a deal breaker, but it really does improve the look of the toy. Quote
derex3592 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 My thoughts exactly -- not a deal breaker, but it looks like something on a $30 TFer toy. Anywhooo...got my 4 main go-to websites checked for logins working and I'm as ready as I can be for this madness tonight. I really am too damn old for this sh*t...2AM 30 seconds or less IF we're lucky -- how has my life gone so wrong.... Quote

spacemanoeuvres Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I’m going to be so disappoint when I don’t secure a P.O. lol Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 i haven't been this excited for a DX chogokin ever. i'm hoping they still have some when i'm able to log on and place an order. if not i'll have to pray they have some release date units available. Quote
NW86 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 Fingers crossed for everyone tonight! Good luck! Quote

Hmmm, you'd think those would be a given. I have this feeling then there will be a Fast Pack set w/missiles in the very near future. Bring on the PO madness!! Quote

Ridden001 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 Man, even the head guns have indents to simulate actual barrels. I have never seen that on a VF-1 Toy. A page has turned. Arcadia's dominance in the VF-1 line was important and long lasting but it is now over. Quote

Well, the DX Chogokin YF-19 was priced at 27,000 yen for a 1/60 scale toy with Fast Packs, Fold Booster, and missiles. So, for less than 20,000 yen for a 1/48 scale VF-1 toy, I can see Bandai not wanting to include super/strike parts nor missiles. Quote

A page has turned. Arcadia's dominance in the VF-1 line was important and long lasting but it is now over. Well, technically speaking, since these are lasers we are talking about rather than projectile weapons, it is not like lasers need the concept of barreling/rifling. Mirrors and lenses, sure... but barreling is not necessary. The only advantage to having lasers shoot out of barrels is to perhaps protect lenses from dust, debris, and other particulates. Sorry,,. I will now go back into the corner and play with my toys again. =P Quote
Ridden001 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 It also has barrels molded into the cannons alongside the intakes. This thing rocks. Quote
