OK then I hope the other similar designs show up as kits later.

So does this design actually appear in the Macross Delta movie? If so, are there any others like this in the movie? Or is this made up for the model kit line?

Hah. Awesome. Have to get one for sure.

That would be great... but doesn't seem likely since Hasegawa has never sold standalone super packs in the past. Only Bandai has done that. The closest Hasegawa got was with the VF-1 weapon packs.

If they don't do kits of the supers, there won't be artwork of the super versions to put in the artbooks...

But but but.... New kits for the VF-31 supers (instead of a generic super pack kit to be combined with the already available base kits) means more sweet box art. Don't we want more sweet box art? In any case, I always like to be able to do a set of variants in basic config, and a set in super or armored mode. So I'll be buying 2 sets of each fighter no matter what...

Normal VF-31F, VF-31S, and VF-31E later hopefully. Can't see why they'd skip them... And then supers. And then armored!

I'm already planning on buying 2 of the VF-31F w/ lil Drakken. One to be built as shown in the artwork and one to do as a standard VF-31F. If they go and release a vanilla VF-31F later... my 2 VF-31F w/ lil Drakken can be done as Messer w/ lil Drakken and Hayate w/ lil Drakken versions. Considering that Hasegawa did a vanilla AND super kit for all 4 VF-25s from Frontier, I'm hopeful that they'll complete the VF-31 lineup. They seem to be taking their time though...

Does anyone have info on whether the Macross Delta kits have been selling well enough for Bandai to want to go back and do more kits from the series?

I DO find it odd that Hasegawa is doing these before a regular VF-31F, VF-31S, VF-31E... oh well. And no Hasegawa supers yet either.

The movie-only VF-31 looks amazing. I very much hope we get a kit of it. But Bandai seems to be tapering off on Macross Delta kits, so I dunno if they'd get around to doing this...

Oooh I wish that Jolly Rogers scheme was the default OOB scheme...

Hmmm.... I guess I'm fine with this if the VF-31F can optionally be built as standard VF-31F.

VF-1D battroid? VF-2SS?

I know. I was just grumbling out loud. Since Bandai didn't complete the 5 fighter set, I'm relying on Hasegawa to do so.
