xrentonx Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Damn! Why a standard release? I'm gonna have sleepless nights trying for two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Actar Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Is it supposed to be a pirate's hat? It reminds me more of a knight's visor and that's pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrentonx Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 It's more of a visor, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 So standard release because it's Ozma, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrentonx Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Sounds like it. Not sure why this one isn't a web exclusive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moustik747 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 They want to test the market for the Ozma 25 re-release ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullmilitia Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I must be the only one... Head looks stupid. It's being flown by Ozma not Jack Sparrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I must be the only one... Head looks stupid. It's being flown by Ozma not Jack Sparrow. I find the head looks stupid too. Can't unsee a pirate's hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Why standard release and more money? Bc bandai wants to stir up another frenzy. Thats how they hooked us the first round. Everyone panic and slam a keyboard after missing a pre order:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp Durron Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Frack it then, I'm just going to wait on a VF-25S reissue then. No way am I going to stress myself over this release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedas Bike Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Disappointed by the news of a standard release too, and certainly not looking forward to missing any sleep or going thru midnight pre-order madness (especially since I'd rather go thru that nonsense for a reissue 25S). Oh well, such is life for a Macross toy collector. With the better pictures I've gone from "meh" to really digging the head sculpt - especially the visor. -b.

Matt Random Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I prefer this head over the standard YF-19 and the slightly modified Isamu version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bforbryan Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Where to preorder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sreichma Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 It'll pop on Nippon Yasan which is where I will go, just monitor this thread and the moment its available, someone on here will communicate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye_281 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm guessing HLJ or Ami Ami will have it too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bforbryan Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) @sreichma.. check the recent thread about NY.. preorder shipping is more expensive comparatively to other sites like Amiami and HLJ. I'll heed the advice and go elsewhere unless I'm out of options. EDIT.. Oh yeah thanks! Edited January 31, 2014 by bforbryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechapilot77 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 i think we need to relax. there hasn't been a 2second sold out item in SEVERAL releases. i think most of the renewals after the first round or so have been fairly available, no reason why this wouldn't be.

plastik Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm really digging the color scheme and head sculpt. Hopefully the wait isn't too long... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrentonx Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 We shall see... So what's the estimate date on preorders opening up? Any guesses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrentonx Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 So Monday night. Terrible night to stay up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bforbryan Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) You mean Monday morning.. the weeeeee hours. EDIT.. Been wondering if I should splurge on this. No more paying premium prices after Isamu YF-29 (the first in my collection!). Edited January 31, 2014 by bforbryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrentonx Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Well...Monday night starting around 11pm for us left-coast boys. That's when we see Ami-ami put there's up and everyone else follows suit. ...then we all bitch and moan until the wee hours of Tuesday morn as we miss preorder window after preorder window We haven't done this in awhile! It'll be like old times! Edit: unless I'm off by a whole day... Edited January 31, 2014 by xrentonx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Even if the head is silly looking, I already have a 29 I like in Battroid, Isamu's. This one can be my really sweet Low-Vis Fighter/Gerwalk 29. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bforbryan Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) Been staring at the pictures a lot and actually I prefer the color scheme of Isamu more and I'm not too crazy about the jack sparrow I mean ozma. I might wait it out too.... Edited February 1, 2014 by bforbryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedas Bike Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Everyone, everywhere should wait it out so that I can get a good night's rest, wake up and pre-order 2 or 3 from whichever site has the best pre-order price. -b.

bforbryan Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Well I can make an arbitrary macrossworld account lol. I live on the west coast and won't be sleeping that early. I'll preorder a couple if I can on this non personal account. If I don't want them I'll put the username and password up here for those who want it.

UN Spacy Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I'm past the days of spending endless nights for DX preorders. Just not worth my time anymore when they're always readily avaialble on the aftermarket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukenzero Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 When is the preorder supposed to be up Japan time? Man this is gonna be annoying and NY is gonna price hike it like there's no tomorrow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Yeah NY has a habit of doing the pre-orders in rounds. The price goes up after each round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrentonx Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) After staring at the head pics some more, I'm gonna say it's up there with the 25A and the 25S for me. I love it! Edited February 1, 2014 by xrentonx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukenzero Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Looks very cool but damn do we all want the yf-30 and the Ozma reissue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp Durron Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I'm waiting, this isn't gonna be hard to get in the end. Don't underestimate the demand for having something in Ozma's paint scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 So the preorders start as usual at 5 pm in Japan right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
