Chronocidal Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Love the standard VF-171.....though, would that canopy still work on the EX nose section or would it require an new nose? Chris The CF canopy is definitely wider than the EX version, but considering the entire cockpit on the VF-171 rotates up, it shouldn't be too hard to replace that entire section. It's hard to tell from the pictures so far, but the portion that moves might be big enough for the standard canopy already. Considering they planned ahead so well for the armor and super parts with the renewal VF-25, I can't imagine they'd pass up a chance to milk this mold, and the CF is really the only other thing you can get out of it.

Lolicon Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 So did everyone who wanted a 171 manage to get a preorder in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I got 3 pre-orders in with 3 different shops (Anime-Export, iShop2Go and HLJ), so hopefully, I'll get all 3, or at least 1. Call me greedy, but I really want multiples of this. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'd rather have gotten one from AmiAmi, but the preorder died midway through me placing my order. Got one at BBTS, so I'll just have to hope they don't overestimate the supply again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrentonx Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I wanted 1 and managed to get 2. I was all worried for nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrentonx Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 There should be another BBTS (I know) order floating around somewhere now that I cancelled mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shazam Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Just ordered now after emailing them for days. No sign of the YF-29 Durandal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie23 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Good to see more MWers getting in. Good ol' HLJ - I should never doubt them. I'm still looking for a YF-29 myself. Well maybe down the road someone would be willing to trade a YF-29 for a VF-171EX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Oh, I got a BBTS order in, so I'm not that worried. I'd just love to have the extra insurance of an HLJ order as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMax Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 If I ordered through HLJ, this is gonna be my 4th Preorder , each from different sources. Hah.... i dunno, maybe in July, everybody who ordered multiples across sources will be selling the extras, and that could have downward pressure on the prices... lol~! If that happens, I'll blame Bandai again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm getting really annoyed with this. I'm constantly looking at this thread and i always seem to miss these preorder windows. Very frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp Durron Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Oh, I got a BBTS order in, so I'm not that worried. I'd just love to have the extra insurance of an HLJ order as well. So do I, but after getting screwed over by them on the VF-25S, I wouldn't be too confident either, if I were you. -Kyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyesonme78 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I just hope i can get all three shops to have the VF-171EX valkyries.. so i can have 3 valkyries!! hahaha... Fantasy hope though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chen Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Toy-wave has pre-orders up. It looks like the online Hong Kong stores are now getting their turn now. Hopefully that lessons the panic around here.....probably not lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Arms Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I missed HLJ, again, but went ahead and ordered through toywave. If the HLJ preorder opens up again, I plan to go with them.
