Saburo Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I checked the Bandai website and there is no date listed for reservations closed for it. All the other web exclusives have a closing date about 2 months after the opening date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I just ordered from NY. I thought about paying for it now given how strong the dollar is... I'll have to watch that and pay if I see the $ slipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullet_Sponge Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Anyone know if this is going to be substantially different from the Yamato release?The only problem with my Yamato one is that it is somewhat of a floppy mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaoticYeti Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Anyone know if this is going to be substantially different from the Yamato release? The only problem with my Yamato one is that it is somewhat of a floppy mess. It is wholeheartedly different. Minor changes from the previous bandai vb-6 release.

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 What are the differences aside from markings between the older bandai release and this one? I will probably skip this since I already one 1 monster already. But I am interested to know about these changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edi Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I've been on the fence about ordering one as I kind of liked the older color better. But in the end I decided to pre-order it since I don't have one yet. My wallet will be hurting later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'Kyuun Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Preordered mine with NY as well. I'm not too crazy about the nose art, but I can overlook it considering how much improved this version is over Yamato's. Plus, the VB-6 is definitely one of Kawamori-san's coolest designs.

Jasonc Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Now I'm debating if I still need to get this new one. Just found a brand new SP. version of the first Bandai release, so now I'm debating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myk Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Now I'm debating if I still need to get this new one. Just found a brand new SP. version of the first Bandai release, so now I'm debating.. Doesn't the first release have less or no nose art? I'd say just stick with that one. Just say no to nose art IMO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrentonx Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The first release SP version has Sheryl tampo'd on. I really love mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I have the first release SP version also, I don't mind the nose art at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Can't wait to see the Sheryl credit card, the Vega one. Maybe I'll buy the rest of every Macross toy ever made with it. I mean, it's not like Sheryl can't afford that for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Strange fact, my SP version did not have the damn credit card in the box. I looked everywhere too lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'Kyuun Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Nice, but those decals look more like they belong in a Barbie's New Sportscar set than with a giant transforming artillery battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brouken Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Well, the VB-6 Koenig is being piloted by a woman in MF, so wouldn't it make sense that it'd have girly decals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brouken Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I dunno, man... Canaria seems like a tough chick... She was throwing Alto around like a bean bag... Touche bro!

jenius Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 If you are talking about PO then you can find it on NY. Negative, NY is also closed. It might reopen after release if they bought a few extras which is probably a safe bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZDZIYO Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Negative, NY is also closed. It might reopen after release if they bought a few extras which is probably a safe bet. You are right.

M'Kyuun Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Anyone have a guess as to when this thing is supposed to release? I've been looking around the web, including Bandai's Japanese site, to no avail. I PO'd thru NY, and they don't have a projected date either. Just hope Bandai makes enough/NY ordered enough to cover all their preorders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I thought it was 4/30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'Kyuun Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Thanks, Jenius. That's about right, since these were up for preorder thru Nov/Dec. Having not seen or heard anything for at least two months, I was hoping it wasn't going to devolve into vaporware. I did some more snooping around the web and discovered the Suprememecha blog. Cool stuff on there...anime models, toys, and such. As it happens, they have a 4/2015 release date for the Monster as well, so that's a good indicator. I'm really starting to anticipate this thing. The blog also points out a few things Bandai fixed from the first release, so that makes me happy, too. Improvements FTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
