sqidd Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 I haven't been into this in almost 10 yrs now and I want to start building a small collection. So, I'm starting with my favorite. I was looking at these online last night and I can't tell if they're the same thing but different packaging. Or different. Are they the same? If not, which one is better? Thanks for your help! Quote
enphily Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Second is better. Use anymoon.com for info about all releases Quote

sqidd Posted January 8, 2019 Author Posted January 8, 2019 I asked that too soon. I needed to read a bit more. Am I correct that it looks like the Bandai DX VF-1 is the top dog right now as far as VF-1's go? I'm not seeing a Vf-S Focker w/ S&S parts though. Is the only one they released the VF-1J Hikaru so far? If so, are there any plans for a VF-1S? If there are no plans my question from the post above still stands. What is considered the best VF-1S w/ S&S parts out there? Thanks! Quote
seti88 Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) If money is no object, then have a look at Arcadia’s premium finish focker for the ultimate tampo printed 1/60 valk. bandai’s new DX is at a larger 1/48 scale, so you might want to take that into consideration if you are still collecting. Since it’s new, the focus is on Hikaru, but expectation is that Focker will also be in the pipeline. Edited January 8, 2019 by seti88 Sorry I still spell focker as fokker. Blame it on the rain. Quote
kajnrig Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Would I be right to say that the first pic is the Yamato 1/60 V1, and the second pic is the Yamato 1/60 V2? Quote

First pic if first V2 release, second pic is anniversary release with fixed shoulders and flashlight. Quote

sqidd Posted January 8, 2019 Author Posted January 8, 2019 I think I'll wait on the Bandai DX VF-1S w/ S&S parts if it ever comes out. Thanks guys Quote

It was a pure coincidence when I replied with that GIF to Seti regarding with the downvoting that’s going on with all of my posts. And then after that I saw the news late last night so I know what you meant. Peace. Quote
seti88 Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Ditto...the world has more than enough politics to sustain itself...not getting political in here... Quote
kkx Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Not sure where is the right place to ask this, so hopefully it is not too upsetting for me to hijack this thread. I am confused by the box art in this item, don't remember seeing it anywhere and nothing on Anymoon.com. Anyone know? Is this a knock off? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-60-Perfect-Transform-Vf-1A-Ichijo-Koukai-Super-Space-Time-Fortress-Macross-/372650604223?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10 Quote
jenius Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) That's not box art, it's the Yamato graphic from their website discussing a product. It was distributed as marketing materials to online vendors. Edited April 17, 2019 by jenius Quote
kkx Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Thanks. So it is legit Yamato v2 if the seller is honest. Quote
Dashgtr Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 The First one has a rainbow coating over the canopy where as the 2nd one (If I'm not wrong) comes with a laser pointer. Quote
