Chronocidal Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if that's reversed. Not that I don't want the YF-29 reissue first, but this is the first issue of the super parts. You'd think they'd get the parts out for people who already bought one during the first issue.

Scyla Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Well I thought they do a reissue of the YF-29 30th Anniversary Edition because they figured that not enough people who bought the first release are interested in the Super Parts. So now the release a second wave of the YF-29s to sell enough Super Parts so they don't make a loss with this product. And thus the reissue will be release first so that there are enough orders for the 30th Anniversary Super Parts to make their one time production run profitable. I mean, why not release a reissue of the VF-25s. From what I get here in the forums the would sell millions of units of the VF-25S On the other hand I'm pretty sure that I'm crazy and I can't trust myself any longer. That I don't understand Japanese does not help the issue. *giggle* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 You seem to have this funny idea that Bandai likes making sense with their Macross product marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scyla Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Good review jenius. I still don't get why Bandai choose the white markings on a white plane for the wings while the markings on the legs are black.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Jack Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Got mine today, great figure, was a bit annoyed one of the antenna was bent but over time I can push that back into position. Took a while to learn how to transform it without fearing breaking it, but all in all a very nice piece, some pics below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plutoniumhunter Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I could have gotten one off Evilbay - for the price of 3 VF-19Ses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Jack Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Well for me it was a case of either try to get one during the 7.2 nano-seconds that these things are available during a re-issue, which I'd have no chance as I just don't have the time to try for something like that, or eBay it, it's pricey but that's market forces I guess, sorta blows but glad eBay cos I don't think they'll be re-issuing the 30th forever so not being superfast in catching it first time round probably only chance I got to get it.

OzmaLee74 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Bit the bullet on this one as well. Only thing is that I preordered this along with the VF-171 CF in the same cart so I I have to wait til next month when the latter is released to receive it.

Scyla Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I would be really sad if the re-issue would include a painted stand and head-lasers out of hard plastic. I have a bad feeling about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggooftoybox Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 YF29 30th anniversary color (reissue) release date : Ok i've got to try my luck on HLJ this time. Maybe i'll catch it available for order just this once? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggooftoybox Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Ok so i did a quick search on Nippon Yasan for the YF-29 and i find two listings One for MACROSS F - DX CHOGOKIN YF-29 DURANDAL VALKYRIE (30TH ANNIVERSARY COLOR) = $258.14one for MACROSS F - DX CHOGOKIN YF-29 DURANDAL VALKYRIE (30TH ANNIVERSARY COLOR) (REISSUE) = $222.89Given that they're almost identical, why the huge price discrepancy? Is the Re-issue going to get less stuff? And the other thing is the pre-order says March2013 but it doesn't actually list when it will be released. Am i missing something here? Sorry this is my first time taking a look at Nippon Yasan so i'm just a bit confused. If anyone could help me out, that would be much appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I got mine from the first release, but still have not transformed it LOL. I just hate the way the shoulder covers like to pop off on my Alto version, so I just left this one in fighter mode until I get the itch.

Sorry this is my first time taking a look at Nippon Yasan so i'm just a bit confused. If anyone could help me out, that would be much appreciated. Thanks I think it's partly because the higher priced one is actually in stock now and is from the original run. They always raise the price on items as they get older and harder to find. I wonder if the new reissue will come with the 30th logo on the box. The Alto release was completely the opposite. The original run was before the anniversary and did not have the 30th logo on the box. I bought the reissue of the Alto scheme and it had the 30th logo on the box.

xrentonx Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Plus the way they operate, they're trying to recupe their costs from buying it at the higher price in the aftermarket. That's what I assume anyway. They're unlikely to sell below what they paid for it unless they're desperate to move stock. It's a seller's market.
