Blue Meanie Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I miss the messer preorders over and over. It shouldnt be this difficult to preorder things months out. Bout to give up and be happy with the 262. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Dont give up! Orders should be opening up around actual release dates, next month, and even after that there should be some residuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Meanie Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I know, i never give up just whine about it. I always get the figs I want, its that i was playing titanfall till 5am here.

Eslim109 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Is it just me or does the VF-31C in the magazine look pink instead of purple. Hope it actually is purple colored upon release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 It does looka but red in that photo but im sure it'll be released with the correct color. Either way I'll take it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandman Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Poor Arad. Neglected to be 4th place status in release, ahead of only Chuck (maybe?). He's sure no Ozma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyll2 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) or paint some black stripe and label it 35th anniversary VF-31 Ichijo custom @Sandman his 1/72 kit is actually the cheapest in Mandarake. No exposure or even small scene to redeem as the captain. Edited March 21, 2017 by chyll2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Arad was more of an old timer past his prime than an Ozma or Roy type who was still at the peak... that was my impression. Still young enough to kick some butt but not young enough to throw it out on the line like the kids could. If others had that impression, it makes sense he doesn't sell terribly well. I thought his character was likable enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I wouldnt judge the color too early yet..not only is it a magazine print, but the glare from the light is bouncing off it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IXTL Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I kind of like the more reddish color in this low quality scan. I woudn't mind if the actual figure was this color. Although I don't think I'd want a third VF-31 considering now pricey they are. Maybe when they release the VF-31A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyll2 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 So this was discussed in the 262 thread. It seems like there is a 31 Variant every four months? December 2016 - Hayate April 2017 - Messer August 2017 - Mirage December 2017 - Arad April 2018 - Chuck August 2018 - CF? Arad machine potential timeline is funny seeing that it has Christmas colors . 2018 is the year of the 35th Macross Project so maybe the 31A will get more exposure to warrant a toy release with a different/traditional/non-walkure support/old school macross missile type of pod.

Sounds logical! hehe...santa arad sounds ok if bandai agrees! Unless a hayate reaper version comes to upstage him!

Firefox Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I hope they eventually made a 31A. That's the only 31 I would buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Arad, was a really lazy, hands-off, do what the feck you like, I don't give a shit type leader, who typically disappeared from most combat. But as demonstrated from two scenes in the TV series, he was an accomplished knife fighter. That is when he could actually be bothered to engage the enemy in combat, rather than vanishing off screen and letting his subordinates do whatever they like, without any orders or guidance.

I'd rather the CF came before Arad and Chuck's. Never happen unfortunately. The question is will we see an Arad 31A before or after the common 31A?

David Hingtgen Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Sure hope that's not the final colors. Not TOO worried yet, but will keep an eye on it. I mean, really, how could it NOT match the kit colors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sildani Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 It's Bandai. Anything's possible. I'm in for this one. Missed Hayate's for lack of interest, missed Messer's because the PO windows have been tiny, but I'll break my CF rule for Mirage. Hopefully her PO won't be awful. Is it confirmed that her PO is in April? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukenzero Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Woo! Mirage then CF then I'm pretty much set. Chuck or Arad's I'm not too bothered about, though if they will be easy to PO then I'll grab em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 For a show everybody seems to have hated everybody seems to be "all in" on all of these releases which is making the PO's a massive bitch. I was hoping the show thread bitch-fest would mean it would be easier to find these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just so happens that the design of these Valks are way cool that's why most of the time we always forget what show it came from. And to be honest, even if I didn't like Macross7 if only the VF-19Kai didn't have a human face for sure I already bought one a long time ago.
