GGemini Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Another shop with more description: http://www.happinetonline.com/NASApp/mnas/...D=4543112603425 The text appears to say there will be color changes in multiple areas. If this has something to do with what kresphy just posted in the Macross F News section (VF-25のスーパーパックはリニューアルして新しくなる ), I think this will be the first "movie version" VF-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twich Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hello, I have a request for information on any shops selling Macross Bandai toys in California. I am currently in Buena Park, CA and tomorrow I am leave for home back to Spokane, Washington. I am driving, today I went to Anime Jungle located in LA, and after searching for it for 45 minutes, I finally found it, but it is closed on Tuesdays, and only Tuesdays...I am going to be going to Simi Valley, CA tomorrow and then on up to Vallejo, CA. I would really like to find a place that sells Macross toys, specifically the 1/60 DX Bandai Macross Frontier Valkyries and the VF100 Macross Frontier Valkyries. I dont want to go too much out of the way, but since my google searches have come up blank, and I am leaving tomorrow morning for Simi Valley, then Vallejo at 6am, I dont have much time to stay to go back to Anime Jungle. Is there anything shops that are near Vallejo that sell Bandai Macross Frontier Valks? Any assistance would be wonderful! Thank You! Twich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Have these shots been posted already? There are definitely color changes on the leg armor and understand of the booster packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cent Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 .... Are you serious about the parts upgrade? WTF??? Godamn, I hope this doesn't mean I need to blow more money on model kits ... I thought I was done. And how much more will you be able to upgrade the Armored parts anyway. I hope that won't change at least. I never liked Yamato's milking, but this is going to take the cake.

sev Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I know I'm beating a dead horse but I just want to express how disgusted I am that Bandai will not fix the hips on the DX line Valks. I see some cool stuff coming out in the future (the Macross Quarter, The Armor Plus Alto figure) but I can't bring myself to get any of it because without a cool Valk figure to go with them it's pointless. Why Bandai? WWWWWWHHHHHHHYYYYYYY!?!?!!??! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a given that the toy would be changed in some way for the movie, i.e. redesigned Super Packs, possible change in color scheme etc. Afterall, Bandai is the major sponsor for Macross Frontier and they will of course want to use the movie as an oportunity to sell more toys.

optimator88 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Personally, I'm excited about new variations. Since when have limited armor and color variations been a bad thing. If you don't want it, don't get it. But the ability to do so is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFTF1 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Looks beutiful. That photos is a bit blurry, but the head, specifically the face does look a bit different to me. Graham I concur. Can't wait for Armored Ozma. Good job Bandai! The one niggling thing I don't like about the Bandai DX now is widdled down to the cockpit - when you open it. Those stubs - completely ruin the realistic element... so... best not open the cockpit. But beyond that - nice. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 (edited) HLJ has a pretty good description of what the new vf-25 super-pack will look like.

Graham Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Damn, the SMS base is gonna be painted on the Alto VF-25F bundle release if HLJ is correct. I really wish Bandai had painted the bases from the start. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ff95gj Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 While basically I trust HLJ with their info, but somehow I doubt if the "modified movie version" super parts are all about color changes. And yes, damn Bandai for not painting the stands in the first run of the DXs. I plan to paint them myself, but my modelling skills (including air-brushing and painting) are horrible. I would even miss when piss, not to mention delicate model-painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
