Holy $@%#, I want both!

If I can get these at a decent price, I'll bite - FAST packs be damned!

2,400 yen + shipping

Already preordered. Can't wait! I just hope if they release fastpacks, they do it so you can just buy the packs. I don't want to have buy the figures all over again.

Do want!

Each, or for both? Because that comes out to about $26.50 + S&H. I may only be able to get one (which will be Roy, of course).

Each..I have a liking for the Hikaru VF-1A for some reason, started in late high school or college, might pick up that one.

$53 for both....I figured as much. My eyes have always been bigger than my bank account.

I really like the Hikaru as well, mostly for the color scheme (Jetfire, anyone?), but Roy's always been my favorite within the Macross/Robotech Universe.

Yup, me too.

I can't afford to collect all the Macross toys I'd like to, but I try to keep up with the different versions of Roy.

I think I might wait it out... I'd hate to get these and have them release them with the FAST packs later on, and with my luck, they won't sell separate, so they get you to buy it again.

This is what I'm afraid of. I'm hoping they offer the fastpacks separately, like they did the Yashima Weapon Set for the Eva figures.

I can't afford a 1/60 Yamato perfect transformation valkyrie, so this is the next best thing for me.

Looking at the pics now...I will pass. It looks like they are the same size as the Toynami 1/100 wich I already have. Im not sure about the quality but the Toynami Valks look better IMO.

The quality of revoltech figures has always been excellent, IMO. I've never had any problems. The only time I had a problem was with Megatron and a piece of his back fell off, but that's only because he fell from my shelf, which is understandable. Also, I've always loved the PVC material Kaiyodo uses for these toys.

The quality will be MUCH higher than the Toynami Valks, I have those too. Not to mention these Revoltechs are much more articulated. Remember those "super" poseables that Toynami made before? They were based on Kaiyodo fixed-pose kits sold at Wonderfest years back. Kaiyodo also makes Revoltech...

I hope Kaiyodo releases some of the other mechs from the series.

TV Qrau and Glaug please! It's a shame those 2 don't get much love, in Japan, it's DYRL? or nothing most of the time. Glaug looks awesome, I'd LOVE to have one, I mean come on Kamujin was the most entertaining villain in the original series and THAT guy gets no love? MAKE IT SO KAIYODO!
