Hello everyone,

I've been a fan of Macross for years. Just recently, I discovered Yamato toys.

I have a question. Are the 1/48 VF-1S Roy Focker toys discontinued or is this a production halt?

Also, i've been reading about 1st editions and 2nd editions. How do I know the difference?

I've allways loved that machine Roy flew, but now it seems hard to find a copy.

I believe Yamato has stopped production of the VF-1S, so you should start looking for one.

The 1st edition had the same problems as the first VF-1A.

also, the VF-1S had a crooked skull on the tailfin.

The rerelease has fixed the skull logo and it has the updates that started with the Max. The nosecone, the better flaps.

BBTS has them right now....for $169.99! :o:o:o a little too rich for my blood but heck you could be loaded! :p

i'm not sure about the other sellers out there....maybe Neova has a few, you might want to check him out. he had them for $120 last time i checked....click on the "SPOT" at the bottom of my sig for a link to his site.

otherwise, i check out toy-wave...i'm pretty sure i saw some there too? :unsure:

maybe even VE or TM but i doubt it since they feed most of the members valk addictions here. :D

*added*

neova has the 1S roy for $120. :)

toy-wave has it for $125. :)

bigbadtoystore for $169.99. :o that ones still killing me!

valkyire-exchange has none. :(

tmpanime aka twinmoons has none. :(

i'd say go with Neova, thats where i buy most of my valks. toy-wave(ken) is really cool too as well as BBTS, but you gotta catch them when they're having a sale with that price tag. :p:D:lol:

Thanks everyone. I kinda was in a panic, but thanks to your suggestions, I found the version I wanted with a better price.

D'OH!

i forgot to mention the guys with the $120 and $125 price tags are both overseas. average shipping to the US is about $20- $25. but don't worry about neova or toy-wave they both provide excellent service and great packaging. B))

That overseas price plus shipping is still cheaper then many places here. Thanks haterist.

BTW, I've been reading theses boards or a little while now. This board is the friendliest board I've seen. You guys help and support each other with out flaming associated with other boards.

I was introduced into Macross through Robotech, and was allways following events with the franchise. This site is keeping that love alive.

no problemo captain!

i'm quite the bargain hunter myself so don't mind sharing my finds and such with other members. :) these badboys are expensive enough as is, so every little dollar counts....well towards the next valk purchase any way. ;) you'll see what i'm talking about after you get the first one and play with it. :lol:

off topic,

this board is friendly? :huh: obviously you haven't read enough of the posts here. :p theres some flaming here and there but members will do what they can to get things under control. B)) ....oh, and that usually isn't me. ;):D:lol:

If I am not mistaken, Neova sold out his Roy VF-1S as well. I was gonna get it from him, but saw in this site that VF-1S reissue is gone.

So sad, I haven't got my 1/48 Roy VF-1S yet, and my FP is sitting alone now :(

DYRL Max and Roy are getting scarce. They're on eBay sporadically... Neova also said that the Hikaru 1S is sold out as far as Yamato is concerned. :unsure:

Oh hey so whats the deal with the GPB 1/60 armor for 30 bucks? with that guy local? I forget his scn and real name. He drives an accord.
