Those are pretty cool and very cheap.3000Y for a set?!?

Hopefully these sell well and they make other sets with more variations. Always liked these kits and their Chibi characteristics.

IIRC, the heads on the VF-1A was modded by member here to fit on the 1/55 and it looks better than the TT/Bandai head.

[kajnrig]

I've seen a few of these over the last few years and always assumed they were scratchbuilds or obscure resin kits.

Are these from the same era/technology as the recent vintage 1:144/1:200 re-pops? Because phew, as glad as I am to have those kits, they have... problems.

Can't wait to see the new box art...I dug the originals! (below)

Nice! I had all of these except for Roy. I'd be on board for these. 

[derex3592]

Ok, normally I think the SD stuff is dumb and ridiculous, however, that SD VE-1 is gonna HAVE to be mine at some point to put beside the HM-R and Yamato 1:60! 

[DewPoint]

AmiAmi is sold out!  HobbyLink Japan still shows available.

[nightmareB4macross]

I wonder if the reintroduction of these and their possible sales success could rekindle the love for SD figures and Bandai could  possibly rerelease Joke Machines.

Would be nice.

[505thAirborne]

I just PO'd both sets from HLJ. So nice to just easily pre-order something.

Same here. Saw the news about the kits Thursday morning while eating breakfast, went to HLJ, and quickly placed the PO before heading into work. Nice change from the usual PO Madness.

[vladykins]

I'm not a model guy, but I had to PO Set 1, even if it means I have to put them together terribly.

 

[hulagu]

Haha, they finally brought these back.

Now do the SD-Q Raus from the original run too.

These are pretty neat and finally I don’t have to worry much about building and customizing the original releases.

Are these now released?

[seti88]

What an awesome detailed build up! Thanks for the link!
 

[Britai 7018]

I just got my payment notice for these guys. So excited. I have fond memories of picking up the originals at some fancy toy store in the Ginza District on a childhood trip to Japan back when I barely knew what Macross was - just that these guys looked like the Robotech ships. 

And agreed - that build up looks amazing. I'll be impressed if I can put on the stickers properly.

This thread needs an update, so here’s some. All made from the contents available in special set 1 with some mods here n there

Nothing like some great ole' SD valks! They look good! - MT

[nightmareB4macross]

I just received these. Apparently, Set 2 has parts to make a VE-1.

Pretty neat.

They're actually quite nice little kits, I've built some.

Pretty detailed given the size, styling, and transformation. Look very nice with some basic paintwork.

I have a few sets of the originals and bought these pretty cheap. I found the additional VE-1 parts as a nice surprise.

Do you have pics of your builds?

Would you mind sharing?

[Sanity is Optional]

Here's one. Just stickers, panel lines, and a few small paint apps.

Next time I'd probably paint the whole visor, though the sticker doesn't look too bad.

Pretty cool.

I agree, paint is definitely the way to go.
