At this point, I don't know if I want to rebuy the same character in a different scale. But everything I've read seems to indicate people are happy with these.

The VF HI METAL VF-1J got rave reviews, so did the Fire Valkyrie, but the VF-1J definitely raised the bar for the line. It was actually delayed because Bandai stated that they knew the VF-1 was a design very important to fans. So they wanted to get it right.

As for collecting 1 scale...dude it's hard. There is no way I would turn away from the 1/55's, and the Revoltech non-transforming figures are really cool. Ditto for the 1/60 Yamato line(modern....don't like the V1 1/60 VF-1, but the V2 1/60 is one of my favorite VF-1 toys).

So rather than stick to 1 scale, I cherry pick from each. I plan on getting VF HI METAL toys eventually.
