Kyp Durron Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Going to be right there with the rest of you for the blood bath, if I can't get one, I'll post a WTB on the forums while looking for any other chances to get one. I will also be wanting the Hikaru version of this as well. VF-1D will also be an insta buy as well as any stealth/low-vis paint versions of the VF-1. Edited June 29, 2020 by Kyp Durron Quote

Will be thinking of you during this ruckus and hope that you will be ready to join in the battle when the next one arrives (possibly for the DX YF-21). I will likely have to pass on this coming pre-order madness. While my mom's surgery and radiation therapy are now over, she is still experiencing some weakness and lack of vitality due to the lingering side-effects of the radiation. She also might have incurred some skin cancer due to the aforementioned radiation therapy (will be seeing a doctor in 2 weeks to get that looked at). Mom is now on chemo therapy (which has its own slew of side-effects), and will be for quite some time. Given her current health and my need to help care for her, I unfortunately doubt I can attend Thursday night's event. (sigh) However, I do hope that everyone here on MWF will be able to get their VF-1S pre-orders in successfully! Good luck everyone! - Shizuka the Cat Edited June 29, 2020 by Shizuka the Cat Quote

Shizuka the Cat Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 I just wanted to say thank you for all the well-wishes I have received, both in this thread and via private messages.

All the things that seemed important, really aren't. A helpful distraction when you needed it. Please take care of Mom and yourself. Cherish all the time you can spend with her. Walks, talks, naps and meals. I miss Mom everyday. Best of luck to you and your family. Quote

I have never been able to snag any of them expect for the first one vf 1a after they and even before that it's been imposible. I get stuck with nippon yassin There pre order stays open for quite a but as some people feel they are not reliable, and plus the fact that you have to pay in full 1st. Only bought e Yf-29 30th anniversary ver from them and that was because they had it in stock. That said a few guys have bought from them without problems. Quote

Here's hoping the third time is the charm. This is the 1 I really want and will pay extra for. Quote

jrhudson311 Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Man, I can never remember, when does the PO wars start EST? Quote
Kyp Durron Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 I'm in the central time zone, so for me I'm pretty sure that would be 2 AM, so on the east coast it would be 1 AM. Quote
seti88 Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 sigh i cant see past the different yellow shades...i know it could just be a photo or print issue, but....gah...i dont know how i would feel if the release has different yellow shades... or maybe special means a shiny golden roy... Quote

I wouldn't worry, I don't think Yamato, Arcadia, or Bandai have ever screwed up a paint scheme to that degree, let alone Roy's. Quote
vladykins Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Yeah- Im guessing whoever did the photoshopping on that pict just screwed up their color saturation when playing with everything. Quote
ghostryder Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 I thought the yellow strips on the hands were reflective strips similar to those seen on aircraft (like the ones on the side of the VF nose section), and the same for all VF-1 schemes - if so, that pale yellow is correct? Quote

Yeah the things that show up as pale yellow are marked as “lights“ in diagrams I looked at, just like the two darker red circles by the ankle or the metallic red on the wing and tail tips. As someone who stressed out a lot over what color Roy yellow should be, I still want to emphasize that I am 95% confident that they used “Reaction Missile Tip Yellow” for the Roy Special trim. Quote
Guyffon Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Did anyone noticed that the arrows on the head on the toy prototype in Mr K’s office is black? Thought it was supposed to be yellow? Quote

jenius Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 It's TV version, it's supposed to be black. The prototype had yellow and people were worried they got it wrong. Quote

derex3592 Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Weeeelll....since I'm off Friday anyways, why the f@ck not wake up in the middle of the night and join in this freakin sure to be bloodbath tomorrow night....2AM in central time zone??? Quote

That's what I'm worried about. Roy is a bloodbath enough on it's own but since they moved the PO release to a time where everyone in the States is off, it'll bring more competition. (And I think it's great that you're joining. I'm just sure many others will come to the same conclusions. This will be beyond the difficulty of Hikaru's 1S...) Quote
