Yes it would seem the most likely answer to the reveal, later today. You can see the top pf the supers in the tamashii virtual tour page... Plus the fact they teased the TV supers and a pilot figure too(?) in that wall diagram in the previous TN event, so that seems to suggest a seperate TV supers pack... 13 minutes ago, jvmacross said: I would hope we get a websclusive Super VF-1S Hikaru combo set.......I would prefer to "assume the position" than go through another round of hell Yup, of we are gonna get screwed, just get it over with. No need to be coy and waste our time/effort trying to pre-order. My only worry is this is gonna be a lottery thing. Gah!!!!! Edited July 5, 2020 by seti88 Quote
Shawn Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 They could do it in one release for 12k yen tv fast packs tv reaction missiles hikaru figure and a decal with pilot h.iichijo you would put over the existing focker one(Unless the canopy is removeable? Then they might just replace it instead) and one more decal for the stand I think Hikaru would keep the Roy Focker Special script on the side of the plane out of respect. We know bandai is doing stickers with the kakizaki release, so why not a small supplemental pack for this we'll know soon enough Quote

Yamato did this combo in 1/60 v2. Quote

I think mostly of the 'proper' TV Super VF-1S were done 'correctly' under the 'Robotech' brand. So it's safe to assume that this is somehow the 'first' from a Japanese company. However, this specific Japanese company can't justify properly the 001/100 numbers. By the way... Hi JVM! Edited July 5, 2020 by no3Ljm Quote

I think it would be worse to once again release the RMS-1 in yellow for a TV Super VF-1....just remove both "001/100" and it would look "anime" accurate! Quote

Guyffon Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Yeah, like that rando that came in 10 pages ago claiming that he was not a seller promoting a page selling Roy foker for way above msrp before PO even started, he was no where to be seen during PO day, even having the cheek to say he was here to stay when he on,y create his account recently and had less than 10 post. Randos like that will always come in and take advantage of the info here to screw us over. Quote
seti88 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) After a rough roy PO, am gonna welcome new macross reveals instead of dissecting randos.. My brain is fried... Edited July 5, 2020 by seti88 Quote
technoblue Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Yeah, best to look forward. Roy's PO stings but it was going to sting with or without flyby night newbies. Quote
seti88 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Am still F5'ing Roy's listings believe it or not! Roy's PO is now in lottery mode! Edited July 5, 2020 by seti88 Quote
Guyffon Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Thats true, hope they annouce the TV Roy/Hikkie combo PO starting next week then Quote

Maybe I'm just being paranoid but it just felt like a bunch of randos showed up without knowledge of where and how things work. Looking at the guest visitor numbers during the PO, it was higher of course, but not to an extreme degree that I feel that a significant amount of random scalpers have made it in here. I think the issue just is limited stock, massive popularity in asia, and poor site connections. I do wonder if people who live closer to where the seller's servers are makes a difference as I know some people overseas who have had minutes of access whereas people here in the states seems like seconds worth of access. Anyone else have friends overseas and want to share their thoughts? Edited July 5, 2020 by bleecher Quote
505thAirborne Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 For those still looking for Hikaru's DX VF-1S: https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1128769927&ref=list&keyword=Macross&lang=en Hey @no3Ljm Feels like it's been awhile since I've seen you posting here, same goes for @Shizuka the Cat And that is without a doubt TV style colored Fast Packs w/UN Spacy kite & Red tipped Missiles.

Grey728 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 HLJ's website was a lot faster than usual. Did anyone notice that? I mean, other than listing a product you couldn't actually put in your cart for a good 5-10 minutes it was surprisingly responsive. Quote

Agreed, it actually loaded, only problem was like you said the product listing page itself was a mess. However when they fixed that page there was a noticeable delay in adding the item to cart for sure. Quote
Grey728 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Well.. You can actually get a new Hikaru VF-1S for less than what I paid on PO night direct from Amazon.co.jp.

Berkut Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Well I myself was one of the unfortunate ones who lost out on the PO war for the Roy Fokker VF-1S...but really we all should know the Movie Edition with the more angled head is coming out for sure. Once that releases too, I really have a feeling there be a lot of folks who will start selling off the TV version... Quote
bleecher Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Everyone who collects all the variants, you amaze me. As cool as it would be, I just can't go that far with spending. Quote

Stupid me didnt even think about the different variants; I'm all about the movie version and i braved the shark infested waters of the TV preorder out of ignorance. Good thing I'm a fighter mode-only sort of collector as I wont have to see the different head too much, lol.. Quote

borgified Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 That guy is still listed here @Guyffon and he hasn't been back here after the pre-order madness. Don't forget that there was a guy also telling us about the DX Hayo 1a and showing us the pic Hasawaga kit version instead with no proof (and that he mention thjat he had links with Bandai HQ). We kicked him out from here very quickly. Quote

My budget cant go that far either..i prefer TV versions so i passed on DYRL... Lol yup, I still have a friend in Japan that can procure the VF-1S in Japan in November because the TV Version Roy Fokker comes with that special stand. Given the release pattern of the later VF-1S Hikaru had no stand for the DYRL, it can be assumed the Roy Fokker DYRL wont come with the stand too. I recalled the crazy Preorder war for both the DX YF-19 and the VF-1J, but I was in Japan in Hiroshima and literally found stores flooded with those with no one buying them. Itll be the same in Japan for stores like Yellow Submarine (not the one in Akihabara) to have a good supply of these Valks. But yeah I would rather get the DYRL version personally and the darker Strike parts on it would look better imo. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 So far I've got 2 of everything that's been released. 4 DYRL strike packs, 6 missile sets, 3 Roys on pre-order and 1 Kakizaki on pre-order. The real issue is finding places to display all this stuff. Quote
