kajnrig Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) An FYI as well to remind you that Xigfrid has the speaker pod up on Shapeways, and Sanity is Optional has the missile launcher pod there as well.

TrickyCustomer Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Thanks guys. Yeah i'm not a modeller myself. Another reason i like collecting the valks. They come ready made and painted....more or less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave IV Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 14 hours ago, TrickyCustomer said: If you like their discount system fair enough. I have other places to buy valks for cheaper and less shipping costs to boot. It's not so much that I like their discount system but being one of the cheapest places to get preorders and a little more off on top is hardly something to complain about. I'm glad you are able to find consistently lower prices elsewhere that no one else can find. You should keep those sources secret, lol!

If Bandai really wants to cash in on this VF they'll do an Arad Custom as well another run of the CF version, only this time perhaps with a different number or no number at all... apply your own 01, 02, 03, etc. This VF-31A appears to have sold really well, even the ones on Ebay are gone & those were like $385.00 just a week ago.

Or do they expect you to proactively pay the remainder? Just gonna bring this up again, it probably got lost in the page transition for most people.

I don't know how anyone could tbh hopefully they sort it out though. I've not had much experience with pre orders through them, just the premium vf-0s so far. Some of their prices for valks are overpriced and some are similar to other retailers. They are out there, just got to find them lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with everything you've said. The only problem I see is that it was a P-Bandai exclusive. I don't know, have they ever re-issued a P-Bandai exclusive before?

This valk is getting better all the time. 3 hours ago, Mommar said: They’re all missiles taken from the VF-31 Master File books. I suspect these were ordered from Shapeways via our very own Xigfrid. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/44639-3d-model-request-missileordnance-for-dx-toys/?page=1 If it's from whom I think it's from, these were made by the this person and are not Xigfrid's.

I know they reissue P-Bandai Gundam models every now and then, but those are a whole lot easier to produce and ship out than a painted and assembled toy.

orindlt Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 An older email I have says that NY has the Kairos from the 24th (originally to be released on the 31st), so if you are waiting for NY there probably won't be any cool news until Sat.

Xigfrid Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Hey thanks for the praises, but these missiles are not mine. In fact you can tell that because my PaCSWS-2C have a larger glass window for the embarked camera. None the less, the custom missiles will really fit this 31A variant, I can't wait N-Y to ship mine too Edited March 19, 2018 by Xigfrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti88 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Nice subtle paint and decal touchups... Head looks great panel lined and touched up from treatment's posted link.. So it looks like the chest parts of the fast packs do attach to the 31A? Waiting for pics of hayate's SP on the 31A as well... man...wish bandai would release the 31A supers asap!!

Because it was already confirmed by some Twitter post that the Chest Armor doesn't fit properly because of the Fold Carbons since it's wider than the regular Siegfried's Fold Crystals.

seti88 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 not sure what was done but in the pics above it looks like an ok fitting. Time will tell I suppose as everyone gets theirs...similar to when i got messer, wondering if the grey of the kairos fits any of the walkure valk fp colours best.

WaferMouse Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I got black SPs for my FSW 31s to try and get them close to neutral, but I still plan to get the matching ones for the 31A to avoid any gappiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
