VF-31C Super Parts? Which NY says it’s going to get released on the 28th. Or the VF-31A? If so, when is your order date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchieNov Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 It’s funny because N-Y emailed earlier today that the release date for the VF-31C super parts was moved to 5/28. And then an hour later they ship it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back and forth was pretty lengthy but eventually a person from the chat support helped me to make sure the issue would be looked at. Honestly, i think it comes down to poor communication. If they would email people reassuring them that the figure would be shipped even at a later date, i feel people would be less frustrated. Wait what? You ordered on the 10th and getting your order shipped, so must all of us start make back and forths with NY to get our orders shipped too? I thought I was being paitent with them and I ordered on the 7th and still no news, just the ‘mid may’ news when I got someone from japan to call them. So I waited and then now i hear they shipped out someone’s elses piece whom order after me, NY is really in my never to use again list.

anubis20 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 31C looks great with the supers on! I havent opened my 31C because i was waiting on the packs Gonna have to store my YF-19 to display the 31C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemanoeuvres Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I received a date change email regarding the 31C super parts from NY last night. I really hope there isn’t an issue with these preorders. The price for the 31C super parts is already increasing despite the late uptake on the valk itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh9000 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) Got the release date change email from NY for the VF-31C Super Parts but not the preparation in progress or shipped email yet.

As for the 31C Supers, I ordered very late and I have not received and prep notice from NY. I also have other items bundled in the order that are already in stock. Anyways, I've designated the 31C to be my main Battroid displayed in my 31 collection and it's gonna look sweet with the parts. had it out for a while but boxed it back up to wait for the parts.

I just souped mine up recently and it's currently displayed in Gerwalk mode. I was't thinking of getting them all at first but I'm all in at this point.

borgified Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 So Mirage's Supers are packed like Messer's (not barring like Hayate's and with the full sized coloured instruction sheet). Don't forget Chuck's 31 afterwards when Arad's is officially released and then you have the entire Delta Squadron in your display case! @rdrunner: I did steer you in the right direction though.

rdrunner Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 22 minutes ago, Slave IV said: Yep! Or at least, they will... Thanks - first impression, to me this looks like a "frankinstein" of the VF-25 armor parts (legs, hips and chest), tornado parts (twin cannon at the back), 171Ex arm armor/weapon pack over the shoulders, wing booster packs from the VF-25 super parts... The gattling guns reminds me of the Gouf custom weapon set from Gundam 08th MS team... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha thanks you sure did, and I really appreciate the nice find on the super parts set. Can't wait for them to arrive. You know, out of all the Delta squadron valks, after Messer's 31F, the next one I would most like to get is Chuck's 31E a la Elint Seeker.

Chronocidal Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 The VF-31 armor packs are like someone spent an entire day looking at the VF-25 armor, and browsing for "more dakka" memes, thinking, "What else can we glue on this thing?" It's ridiculous, and completely excessive, but I think that's what makes me want it. My favorite parts are the heavyarms-style gatling cannons, and the missile launchers they mounted on the.. other missile launchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how the fully armored VF-31 can stand on its own with all that weight on. Should I pre-tighten the hip joints before I buy the armor pack anyway just in case?
