Sildani Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) It’ll be available, for a price. I expect it’ll be a piece that goes up in price over time, so I intend to grab one close to release date. Which is when, again?

You know Bandai, of course they will make a 01 one with Arad's insignia when they are running low on money, and watch everyone drain their bank account.

Sildani Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Yep. What they did with the VF-27 Grace type was include stickers with different modex numbers. Perhaps the 31A will be similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the 31A will be similar. Hope it is, because I don't want to put numbers on it. And hope that 03 is not tampoed too. But I'm not going to put my hopes up since it didn't mention in the product page that includes a sticker sheet or something. But you never know, right?

Chronocidal Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Ok, I don't think I'd seen that paintscheme up close before.. the red stripes to the rear of the head look really bizarrely placed.

Armored/Super Parts gets released thru their P-Bandai offering. Meaning, it's not a general release so there's a guarantee you can get one. Though you have to pay it upfront since most shops that will sell TWE (P-Bandai) items requires the customer to pay upfront.

Lolicon Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 My least favorite 31 paint scheme, but I do like the S type head unit. Also glad now that it looks like they'll actually finish Delta squadron. I wouldn't worry too much if you miss the initial preorder. All the 31s have been readily available after release and I can't imagine Arad being that much more popular than Hayate or Mirage or Messer.

This is my first time to complete a Valkyrie squad. So hopefully Bandai won't let me down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I'm trying to figure out how many of these damn things I need to pre-order. At least two because I like the scheme on it's own but I gotta have that damn armored version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti88 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I suppose the armor parts would fit on this version? Bandai wouldn't release a separate 31S movie version which only the armor parts fit, right? Does it mention movie/TV version or the armor anywhere in the promo text?

They waited until after release of the movie and, voila, Arad suddenly appears. You can bet the armor fits it. I really don't see why it wouldn't fit any of the previous 31's to be honest.

Giving us a "perfect" VF-31 would upset something in the Bandai universe, so they have to intentionally introduce a few flaws to maintain balance in the Newtype Force or something.
