Pedro2k6 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 HLJ Just sent me the payment request for 1 VF-25F that I order in July. I hope we can expect the same kind of behavior for the VF-25S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duymon Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I know it'll never happen, but I always wanted a plain low viz VF-25 Or perhaps an Itasha 25F? :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanedas Bike Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I would buy three of that low viz Me too. That is if a pre-order, or one, or two, or three could actually be secured (you know, at or below retail). -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickyg Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hmmm... Interesting that this one shows a "proper" purple gun. Is this normal for the media shots or is this somehow different from previous releases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barurutor Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Already overpaid for mine at N-Y during the pre-order madness. Thanks, Bandai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keiichi Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Got one too, thank you for the heads up, pikashoo! Had to call my card issuer to approve the transaction, it seems like a common issue as CD Japan explains it in their FAQ. But hell yeah for staying up late! I think AmiAmi had preorders open for a brief time earlier today as well. When you search "DX Chogokin" the VF-25S is at the top of the results and it does not say "Sold Out" underneath the link. Of course, when you click on the listing it shows that preorders are actually closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank my guardian angel TechnoBlue (if HLJ doesn't fink out on us?) I hate not knowing. So is there any confirmation that this is being massed produced and will become available when they are issued?

Falcon18 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 It's not confirmed. It's just speculation. Considering cdjapan managed to open 28 (maybe more?) orders, it could mean that there are more being produced. Keep checking online retailers. I'm sure more will pop out before release and will sell out quick after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's confirmed that these are being massed produced or are you just saying that because there were 28 left? edite: deleted any jokes this morning. no, but it's obvious circumstantial confirmation... especially from a place like cd japan taken more orders. i shouldn't go too far and say it's "massed" produced yet but i'm getting to it soon if one more opens up.

TBH, i do remember yf-29 ozma opening up several times at cdjapan and else where and satin open for days, but once it was released it was sold out fast and so hard to find. so mass produced is going "too far." but i can say this: there's a 90% chance more pre-orders will open up before release.

Agree. I think too that the way this works will be the same like the YF-29. So now's the best time to get it. Hope those that haven't gotten theirs yet manages to get one.

Have to agree, that while not confirmed it is very likely the 25S will see more stock released the closer we get to release and at release. But in no way does anyone expect this to be a shelf-warmer. was it CD japan that has the longest open time that accepts PO for 25S? You're probably thinking of Play-Asia. -b.

vsim Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Yep, missed it too, but thanks for the post saying it was up! And yes, Play Asia had the ridiculously long open time for POs. I got a PO, but I seriously doubt I will ever see it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valk-1S Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 If Amiami, Hobby Search or HLJ opens their preoders again and last for a good amount of time, then I would say they are producing in large numbers. CD Japan open their orders when people don't expect them to, which is why it lasted that long. If they re-open it the day or day after the pre order date, it would have gone quickly. Still, I think it's not going to be easy to get like the YF-25. It might be similar to the VF-25F first reissue (not the second reissue) where there's opportunities to get during release but small window frame. Time will tell.

Gakken85 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I don't see how every re-issue has been a flood of product, yet Ozma doesn't make the cut. I'm sure more will open up everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
