Mommar Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 You're right, in the show he does have ghosts in that episode around the seventeen minute mark but he doesn't have any super parts what-so-ever on his 171. Just the ghosts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the ghosts. Maybe a modified set with just the Ghosts and the payload options. I'm not gonna give it too much thought, Berera's ghosts got more screen time and they are still MIA.

I'm not gonna give it too much thought, Berera's ghosts got more screen time and they are still MIA. Well, I think probably they would still do a set like the RFV-25 that contains all of the armor and the Ghosts in one since the Movie version of the RVF-171 is armed with armor and wing ordinance though I don't recall seeing the ghosts. You can mix and match to look like either the Television or Movie version that way. Actually, that brings up a good point. Why didn't they include Brera's Ghosts with the Super Packs in the re-release? Unless they felt the package was too expensive already (which I felt it was, personally.)

anime52k8 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Are the ghosts that go with the 171 actually any different from the ones that came with the RVF-25 super? I can only make out the under side of one from that screen cap, but it looks the same. as for the VF-27, they should have done complete new mold renewal, and then sold the boosters and ghosts separately as a Web shop deal.

Lolicon Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'm almost certain he had super parts in that episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Animation inconsistency? It really doesn't look like there are any armor parts in my photo but they are clearly there a few short scenes later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) Definitely didn't have the arm attachments, but he clearly has the leg packs. Can't tell for sure if he has the chest armor pack, but it looks like there is something bulky wrapped over the area behind the cockpit. The difference might be from separate episodes though, Alto and Luca were definitely flying around in the EXs for more than one.

Mommar Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Those two scenes are a minute apart in the same episode. The part I would highlight are the upper thigh armors. They aren't present in my screen shot. They are in the next one. Like I said, 17:05 into Episode 24 is where my screen came from. That next pic is from 18:20 in the exact same episode. I'm going with animation error here. Pick which look you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Animation error or prime opportunity for Bandai to make more money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullmilitia Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Well that settles it, in 2015 we will get Luca Vf-171EX super parts from 14:23 minutes, and in late 2015 we will get Luca VF-171EX Super parts from 16:45 minute mark. I kid, but you never know, Bandai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I think all they have to do is release a package with Ghosts, new wings, leg/thigh/chest armor and ordinance and they have all the permutations covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still hoping they release a set of ghosts for the Brera's VF-27. Sorry back on to topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedas Bike Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Received the "heads-up" payment request from N-Y on this early this morning. They'd like payment by Oct 17th. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanedas Bike Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I preordered the RVF-171 from NY, but now I'm sorta over it. If I'd had ordered more than 1 I'd feel the same way, but at this point I can just leave it in it's box until my enthusiasm returns or I opt to sell it. -b.

Chronocidal Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Heh... I preordered two in the hopes that I'll get one functioning one out of the pair. If they're both problem free, I might sell one, but I'm interested to see if I can make the radome removeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technoblue Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I prefer the color scheme of Luca's RVF-171 to the RVF-25 and should have the funds for my n-y preorder in a couple of days. I am a little worried because of the problematic CF release, but I am hoping that the quality is more in line with Alto's 171. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mizicke5273 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Got my payment request from NY for my two this morning as well. Now, the only big pre-order I have left is for the VF-25S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoexcaliber Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Isn't it a bit early for them to collect payment since it's only coming out on the 24th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Has anyone tried the combined order system on NY yet? Does it reduce the shipping charges or do they just put it all in one box and gouge you? Edited October 7, 2014 by Loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzmaLee74 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Isn't it a bit early for them to collect payment since it's only coming out on the 24th? Noticed this too. I bet they want to money early so they can pay Bandai with it for the Tamashii Web exclusives. I'm guessing they've been burned too many times with people canceling at the last minute.

Valk-1S Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Has anyone tried the combined order system on NY yet? Does it reduce the shipping charges or do they just put it all in one box and gouge you? Would like to know to. But I find in the first place NY hike up the shipping costs. I just got my YF-29 ozma super parts in and I was charged 5,400 Yen for shipping but on the box they were only charged 2,800 Yen. Most of my other orders also appears the shipping costs is way higher than what they get charged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Isn't it a bit early for them to collect payment since it's only coming out on the 24th? I get my n-y payment notices about two weeks in advance with seven days to fulfill my order. I don't mind that. If they offered an order cancellation widget and stopped inflating shipping costs, then I really wouldn't have anything to complain about.

Add stopping the pseudo-scalping for "hot" releases before they're released and they'd be on my list of favorite go-to places to shop. -b.

Mommar Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I'm opening both of my RVF-171's. Both Alto's are fine, I'm going with the notion it's like Alto and not the CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonieG2010 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I don't know...my CF triangles exploded after the first transformation...since then it has been in fighter....at least that transformation included attaching super parts....I'll wait to see how this goes...
