Just saw this yesterday at HobbyLink Japan, the recently announced no-paint kits of the 1/60 VF-1A, VF-1J and VF-1S by Yamato Toys up for pre-order already and will be available by October. The toys cost about Y6500 yen at its pre-order price. I looked around at the other Japanese based online hobby shops and didn’t see them posting any pre-order details yet. These kits come unpainted and unassembled.

Yamato’s optional 1/60 GBP-1S Armor Parts for their 1/60 line of VF-1 Valkyrie toys. Yamato’s 1/60 scale rendition is truly an amazing toy as it is highly detailed and sticks true to the form of the GBP-1S from the original SDF Macross anime series. Product review of this awesome option parts can be found here. Translated Manual for the 1/60 VF-1S Hikaru Ichijo DYRL by Yamato can be found here.

Sale on Macross Related Toys announced at HobbyLink Japan today. Macross items included in this sale come from B-Club, Bandai, Banpresto, Cospa, Doyusha, Gourmandise, Hasegawa, Wave and Yamato Toys. Sale will last till Sept 7, 2011.

My 1/60 VF-1S Valkyrie (Hikaru Ichijo ver from DYRL) by Yamato Toys usually wears the 1/60 Strike Pack Armor, after transitioning it to the 1/60 GBP-1S Armor I decided to switch the Strike Pack Armor to the 1/60 VF-1A Valkyrie Mass Production version so that the Strike Pack gets to be displayed also.
