engrgv, chet,
You are both right.
The valkyrie you mentioned was indeed a Black VF-1J with FP's. However, it was specifically created for that promotion. Only 5 were ever made, making it the rarest 1/48's of all.

Couldn't tell you what differentiated it from the regular release, though. There's also the TRU exclusive VF-1S Hikaru and Fast Pack Gift Set (relax, completists. it's just the two separate boxes packaged in flimsy TRU box  ). |

Sorry for the confusion Chet.  It was CHECKMATE pala who left the comment. I mixed your names up. Sorry. Regarding the 1/60 TRU brownies, the color differences are minor. One is darker than the other (not sure if TRU was darker or lighter- never got the mass production brownie). The TRU Brownie is not what you would really call limited (unlike the black 1J), because it had a significant production run as well. Not as high as a standard run (usually 15,0000 units), but good enough (around 8000 units). It also later ended up with marked down prices in Japan (some even ending up at SM Toy Kingdom-got two TRU's from TK when I found them there). The only thing making it 'limited' is the sticker, but that did not make it fly with collectors so a lot of pieces ended up somewhere else. As for the Hikaru w/ FP Giftset, it was my understanding that it was similar to the TRU 1/60 Brownie, only more lower production numbers, but i will have to get back to you on that information. |

Anyone here tried re-painting a yamato 1/60 Valk? I have a cannon fodder type and I want it repainted to another variant... what do you guys think?  |

Especially with a cannon fodder considering its base color is brown you'd have to repaint it first to white or a lighter shade. |
