Chronocidal Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 You know, I wonder how difficult it would be to mod a set of YF-29 packs so the wings don't droop. I know they did in the movie, but frankly, it looks goofy that way. The game made them level with the normal wings, and it just looks much better I think. Maybe they'll be accurate to the game, and make a custom set of packs that don't droop? Doubtful, but they at least made the gunpod with the bayonet.

Mommar Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Hmm, this is kind of a bummer. I skipped the other YF-29's because I wasn't super fond of the color schemes. Now, this one comes along and it looks great but... it's the same as the YF-19. I don't know if I want two VF's with exactly the same scheme.

Actar Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Is this design canon? as in, was it in the Macross 30th game and flown by Isamu? The shortest least-spoiler answer would be: Yes. ...and I would like to believe that the game is canon. It advances the story of the Macross universe (set post-frontier, introducing the YF-30, etc...) with an actual original plot (as opposed to the mission based/retelling games of the past) and doesn't conflict with any of the previously established lore (to my knowledge). Also, there's just way too much effort put into 30 for it to be non-canon... at least, that's what I'd like to believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I don't like it. Hope everyone who likes it can get it despite being a webshop exclusive. Good luck, Bandai piggybacking Arcadia's thunder! Is this design canon? as in, was it in the Macross 30th game and flown by Isamu? Yes, it was in the Macross 30 game and yes, it was flown by Isamu. It was also apparently in the hybrid pack game that came with the second FrontIer movie. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) thank you! Still don't like any of the frontier designs so I'll pass on this. My curiosity has been picked about macross universe story advancement, guess I'll have to get the game and play it.

skullmilitia Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Hmm, well at the tail of wings of Goodbye you see Isamu's YF-19 for a split second. It's fits, I want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I just realized that they're advertising it specifically from Macross 30. Maybe there's still a chance for a YF-30 too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 They were already showing off what was done on the YF-30, I think we just have to be patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I'm going to buy at least two since I already have two each of the other 29's + supers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukenzero Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Sexy beyond reason. Maybe they'll make Ozma after and do the rerelease of the S. Inbetween them they'll be the vf 27 mass production type and lastly it'll be the yf 30. And just when we think its over, they'll announce a new tv series.

raptormesh Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I really have to pick and choose what to buy now. The display area is more expensive than the valks themselves where I'm staying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Given how long the other web excusive stuff tends to take to come out, we might not even see this thing until next year, so there might be a decent amount of time to save up.

Isamu Dyson Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Geeky thing to say but I hope the fast packs fold quartz ends up being blue to match the YF-29 rather than purple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swoosh Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) This one looks so much better than the Roy scheme, and at least Isamu could have actually pilot this in "real" life.... Edited July 14, 2013 by Swoosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duymon Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) We're sure it's a web exclusive, right? I'm about 99.9% sure this is the case. Anything that says é‚ウエブ商店 has always been an online-only exclusive. None of the other items that were on regular release ever had the é‚ウエブ商店, only the web exclusive super parts, etc, as well as all of Bandai's other web exclusives for other anime series. Also, several Japanese blog commenters are so relieved it's a web exclusive so they don't have to camp out (even in Japan! lol) Edited July 14, 2013 by Duymon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I find that both hilarious, and kinda sad. I guess to a point I understand Bandai's unwillingness to make more valks to sell, but seriously. At some point, they have to realize how many more they could sell. You know, I wonder what would happen if Bandai just made everything web-exclusive? Maybe this will be a nice indicator of demand. I'd be really curious to see how a web-shop release pre-order total would compare with one of their actual production runs. The scalpers definitely are making this into a difficult thing to judge currently, so it'd be nice to see a number representative of actual demand instead of panicked scalper frenzy.

Dark_Ghost Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) Yes. 4pm JST.Sorry, but no. 25 is the opening of pre-sales on Tamashii Web Shop. For shops like Nippon Yasan or Anime Export, they should begin the day of the update Tamashii Web Shop, 7/24. We're sure it's a web exclusive, right? Yes, it will be a Tamashii Web Shop exclusive. We see the Bandai Collector Shop logo in the YF-29, which indicates a sale only on this site. At least for the Japanese. We can find it on sites like Nippon Yasan, Big In Japan or Anime Export. But more expensive than the official price. Edited July 14, 2013 by Dark_Ghost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechaninac Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 well, the head is different. And the gun has an added bayonet. This scheme is also much more pleasing to the eye, to me, than the overly busy Alto and 30th versions; I have the Alto and although I do like it, the word gaudy comes to mind as an apt description.
