CaptainBean Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chowser Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 if the reissues are already out of the stores, ebay or trades will probably be your best bet. But definitely get the reissue... the first one had the problems listed, plus, many had a noticable head seam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent ONE Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 There aren't any on eBay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent ONE Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 wow, good thing I bought a bunch of all of em. Maybe I should sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 sad.. I wanted a hikaru 1s type... oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 (edited) BBTS has them right now....for $169.99! a little too rich for my blood but heck you could be loaded! 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? maybe even VE or TM but i doubt it since they feed most of the members valk addictions here. *added* neova has the 1S roy for $120. toy-wave has it for $125. bigbadtoystore for $169.99. 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.

CaptainBean Posted June 17, 2004 Author Share Posted June 17, 2004 Thanks everyone. I kinda was in a panic, but thanks to your suggestions, I found the version I wanted with a better price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

CaptainBean Posted June 18, 2004 Author Share Posted June 18, 2004 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.

Nitrous Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 *added*neova has the 1S roy for $120. toy-wave has it for $125. bigbadtoystore for $169.99.  that ones still killing me! valkyire-exchange has none. tmpanime aka twinmoons has none. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
