Mommar Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hmph, I don't want to pre-order at AE because they want you to pay up front. I'm still saving for 19 and Ozma 29. I'd rather have June and part of July to save for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sreichma Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Great, now I have to pick up an Alto Renewal for this. MacrossWorld Problems! luckily there still available pretty freely. NY has them for 180 and they are all over ebay under 200. I took advantage of the access, I have one on display and two sealed. I remember when the 25F was a grail relic demanding 4 to 500. Once supply dries up it will climb again. I also think the 25 that will be the most rare is the 25G. I don't think it will be reissued, it's already creeping towards $300.00. To be clear, I didn't buy to turn a profit, I just don't want to have to spend that kind of money if mine broke, yellowed, or I wanted a second a few years down the road.

sreichma Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) I don't see anything on NY for notification for tonight/tomorrows pre order date for the tornado pack. Will it post after?

wm cheng Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hmm, is it a substantial improvement over the v1? I know the plane is, but what I loved about the original Tornado pack was that it hid all the deficiencies of the v1 toy - its the only v1 VF-25 I own. How much do you think I can sell as v1 with Tornado pack & super weapons pack for now-a-days with this on the horizon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye_281 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I'm sure the new tornado packs are substantially improved over the V1s. Just look at the differences between the V1 and V2 Messiah super and armored packs. Anymoon.com has it all laid out for comparison purposes. Night and day really. I'm sure the new Tornado packs will have the same level of superiority to the old V1s. That said, if you have a V1 Messiah with Tornado packs and you're happy with it, then isn't that all that really matters? If the answer is a yes, then you can save yourself a wad of cash. My 2 cents.

MacrossJunkie Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 When they say "storefront item", what does that mean exactly? That it has been taken out and displayed for a while in the store front window and then put back in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSenpai Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 When they say "storefront item", what does that mean exactly? That it has been taken out and displayed for a while in the store front window and then put back in? I think it means that the item is available for purchase in their bricks-and-mortar store as well as online. Basically it serves to warn you that there's a small possibility that someone could have bought it from the store before their system has had a chance to update the online listings. I think that's why they have a two-step ordering process where they have to confirm that the item is in stock before they ask you to pay.

MacrossJunkie Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Thanks guys. I was concerned whether or not a white valk like the 25F was left displayed in the sunlight for an unknown period of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzmaLee74 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I'm waiting for NY to come up. Not sure why they aren't up yet. If rather pay later than upfront with AE although they are great as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaprime Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 May I ask who are AE? And also does anyne know where I might be abe to buy the VF 25F or the VF 25G please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzmaLee74 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) AE is anime-export. An online retailer based in Japan. You can find the VF-25F at nippon-Yasan.com for still a reasonable price. They still have the VF-25G but at a mark up since it's a bit harder to find. http://www.nippon-yasan.com/macross/4884-macross-f-dx-chogokin-vf-25f-messiah-valkyrie-saotome-alto-custom-renewal-version-reissue.html http://www.nippon-yasan.com/macross/2631-macross-f-dx-chogokin-vf-25g-messiah-valkyrie-michael-blanc-custom-renewal-version.html Ekizo Mandarake also has the VF-25F for a better price than NY. Although there aren't any 25G's at the moment, I suggest checking daily since the constantly add new inventory. http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1526355.html Edited February 24, 2014 by OzmaLee74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley424 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Just ordered the Vf-25F you linked, I was looking at it all night and just took to plunge. I am still waiting on another Ozma Vf-25S release (I have a V1 MIB) to have my complete Frontier Skull Squadron. Now the question is Alto only, or get a pack for Michel as well?

I ordered the YF29 (Isamu variant) from NY a few days ago so as soon as that arrives I'll buy the 25F. The 29 is my first Macross purchase so I have yet to find out what quality merchandise I am buying. I am not sure if these toys costing in excess of $100 are really high quality or if the Japanese toys in general are expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I separated my orders this time. =) I learned the hard way back when the YF-29 30th and VF-171 CF were released.

BTW, I think it's better to use USD as currency now because it actually comes out cheaper. For now, but as far as I knew the JP gov is trying it's hardest to devalue the Yen to support more exporting. My buddy has been whining because the USD has gotten stronger and he is stuck in JP.
