Bolt Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 It does seem like Bandai has been dragging on a bit with the release of the full Siegfried squad .. tho, in my mind , there is no doubt it’s happening... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemanoeuvres Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Holy sh!t you guys; NY shipped my 2 x VF-31A I would have upgraded the shipping if they offered but I can wait another few weeks. What’s 5 lbs on an elephants a55 I was really losing hope seeing all the orders being fulfilled (that were placed after mine) but they must finally be getting to the orders of multiple copies.

Foblander Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Just received my first VF-31 and all I can say is wow! Bandai is really the king of Macross toys now. The attention to detail is most impressive. They've come a long way. ^^ I hope Arcadia answers back because I have a soft spot for my Yamcadia toys too.

Welcome to the 31 valk thread and get ready for your wallet to explode for other variants. If you decide to get the Supers for Mirage, Manda has a unit for sale of now at 12k yen. Speaking of Mirage, she's climbing up towards the price range if the YF-30. Maybe being a female pilot and following behind her grandmother's footsteps might have something to due with it?

Sanity is Optional Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 It probably helps that she's one of the more well fleshed out characters of the series, her paintscheme actually looks pretty good, and she looks good in a flightsuit. Also the 31C head is my favorite of the 31 heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanity is Optional Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I always figured that they're getting QA refurbs, extended production from Bandai, or they have a source for near-MSRP VF-31As from another country somehow. Possibly they're getting them through a different country's P-Bandai store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sildani Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 That would still cost more than the initial MSRP, assuming other countries have the stock. And if they did, why no brown shipper boxes? Is that a Japan-only thing? If N-Y could cajole Bandai into another production run, I’d bet my bottom dollar they’d have Bandai make enough to sell new on their site at a markup. N-Y isn’t offended by money after all. Finally, does Bandai actually do QA refurbs? That’s new to me if they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I subscribe to the QA refurb theory too but no idea how it would work. NY would get them cheap and still be making a lot by supplying them so hence no need to jack them up further. This goes back to us not knowing what exactly happened with the botched release. I like the theory that Bandai rejected a lot for some reason or another so they cut quantities and now those rejects are flowing out in some capacity. Someone is checking them out for whatever the common flaw was and if it doesn't have it, it makes it to NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 So, IIRC one theory was that Bandai had a QC issue and their production volume was lower than expected. Might be that Bandai themselves are still shipping those out as they get fixed up to meet spec, or that there's another company taking the QA rejects and fixing them up.

Chronocidal Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 All this still begs the question, why didn't Bandai speak even a single word about this mess? I have a hard time believing they would outright cancel a boatload of their own webshop only orders, and offer no explanation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
