charger69 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 You need to choose "Pay Later" option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyll2 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 So, with NY, I am prompted to pay for my pre-order, but another post in this topic suggests that payment is not necessary up front... am I missing something? for pre orders, they have this PAY LATER scheme. they will ask for your payments when the item is near release date (afaik, 2 weeks). if you opt to not pay, they will cancel your PO.

Mizicke5273 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Got mine ordered last night. Now to save up and secure a G and a F valk at some point. Edited February 25, 2014 by Mizicke5273 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye_281 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Pre-ordered my Alto Tornado parts. Really stoked for July. Seriously, why can't all Bandai preorders be easy like this? Switched from wanting a 25G to a 25F Tornado due to cost and the upcoming V2, YF-19 price tag. The more I look at the 25F Tornado the more I like the color ratio/combination of valk to armor parts over the 25G. Michael's Tornado looks really beautiful don't get me wrong, but man...that's a lotta blue on one valk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plastik Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I pre-ordered a set for the 25g and passed on the 25f (I'll probably end up regretting this later but oh well). I only have one 25f and I think it looks nicer armored. For those who are wondering, total comes out to $92.02 with SAL shipping with tracking.

Mommar Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Looking at the photos some more I think I'll be very happy to have a poseable Alto in Gerwalk mode. I feel the contrast of colors works best in that mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wm cheng Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Bit the bullet on the VF-25F Tornado pack (even though I have my old v1 - maybe I could get something for it?). It does look good. I like my VF-25G in Battroid mode and the wings just look too back heavy in that mode - the Supers would do just fine... The Tornado does look best in aircraft mode - however that Gerwalk mode is really growing on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaprime Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I pre-ordered the VF 25F tornado pack too. Although I still havent bought the Tornado itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightCastle Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 It is about time!! I had to pre-order both of these. I am stoked that they are finally making them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Pre-ordered the 25F pack also....figure it shouldn't look too bad on the CF. Or if need be at least the 25F is still readily available if I want another one. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3D-Brainx Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I'm in for the G. I agree that is seems to be too much blue together, but it still looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
close313 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) I went ahead and PO Alto's. I wished I hadn't sold my G cause, my god, those blue delta wings look grand. The official shot of Alto's gerwalk with the tornado parts also looks mighty fine. I cant put a finger on how it looks due to the colour combo, just love the whites and greys. More mechanical and neutral I guess..?(or does anyone have a better way to put it) Edited February 26, 2014 by close313 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullmilitia Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 The Alto looks slick in Ger, but the damn grey deltas just kill it from any other angle. They really needed to follow the design pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptionZero Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 NY has the VF-25G parts as an August release, but everywhere else lists it at July. Is this a mistake, or do they know something?

Dimis Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Extremely glad that they released these packs stand-alone. After the VF-27 super pack release, i thought they may do the same for re-issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really needed to follow the design pattern. I think it looks just fine IMO. It carries the off-color, aftermarket parts scheme seen with the Super F and Armored F series. The Tornado was developed as a stop gap measure so it makes sense that its factory paint doesn't match the shiny fighter on the flightline. The Tornado G by comparison looks like a show plane. I can just imagine the ground crew complaining after being tasked to custom paint Michael's Tornado parts just so that its more appeasing to the eyes when he flies off to war every other day. Kidding aside, we're all going to have our preference but I think that both Tornado schemes look killer.

Scyla Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I can't understand why someone would not want more of the blue color on the VF-25G. I absolutely adore the hue of the blue color on this Valkyrie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 It's entirely possible with the announcement of the Tornado parts a lot of people have taken the plunge on the G and as such they've had to go secure more pieces, thus raising the price.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 They really do play the supply and demand game. they regularly increase/decrease their price according to supply they still have on hand. mostly demand than supply. but i take it like my local comic shop. does the same. i just think they go too far when they do it within the first day of pre-orders... but at least i can cancel them. but i gotta be grateful they are a place we can get these exclusives at a very nice price.

xrentonx Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Got me an extra set of Altos to maybe customize for Ozma. If by some miracle they release a noncannon Ozma forTamashii web order, I'll put it to good use with my second 25F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaprime Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Those sneaky bastards at NY have raised the price on the VF-25F 40$ Lol! Good job I chose the pay later option on the parts. Since I was planning to buy a 25F and now there's no way im going to pay $40 extra for it. So unless I can find the 25F around the ¥20000 somewhere it is very likely I will cancel my pre order.

How much did you order it for? Even if it did go up, you're locked in at the price at checkout and not it went up to now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
