Looks like the stickers have been delayed until December. I still have an order in for them, but the listing isn't active to order more. I asked the seller if a new listing will be added, and I'll link it here if/when it is. The scaled valks and destroids are still available to order though. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809083776895.html

Message Boards vs Social Media
rsvictor1976 replied to Roy Focker's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
It really depends on the subject. For example, I find more useful information about anime figures on Reddit compared to Facebook. If we're talking on the subject of Macross specifically: Macrossworld: Usually find the most useful information here. Facebook: A lot more shared media such as pictures of models, toys, etc. Reddit: I noticed more new fans post on Reddit than anywhere else to share experience and ask newbie advice. The mods are very prejudice against Robotech. Discord: The Discord channels I've been to just plain suck. Very little content where members just occasionally stop by to say hi. -
While I prefer message boars myself over social media (I never had any interest in Facebook/Twitter/IG) I also think that I am not the right person to judge which one is "better". While I do visit MWF on a daily basis it is hard to me to develop any kind of personal relationship between the board members and even after 13 years on MFW I still feel like I don’t belong any kind of friend clique here. That is not the fault of any of the members here where I only ever had pleasant exchanges with but rather my own approach to interaction. As I posted before I have no interest in other social media platforms and I am usually a private person when it comes to sharing personal information. So it probably a me thing. It could also be that I was socializing on the message board of my old WoW guild where the board itself was more of a coordination and news tool for the guild’s activities rather than a social media platform. Most of the deep social interaction happened in game. Maybe it never occurred to me to use a message board as a social media platform. The other part is that I find it rude and intrusive to bother other people with my personal "issues". That said compared to other social media platforms I think we have a good community here and I still enjoy visiting the form every day.

More often than not I prefer naked valks than with super packs, but just like the RVF-25, the 31E looks better with them. Shame Bandai hasn't released the super pack for it.

Quite sure Bandai is going with a low volume run after some slow sales, especially with the last 31 release. They are probably trying to justify rehashing the rest of the 31 line to themselves by stacking the conditions. High demand, formerly limited, low volume production, fodder army builder, and anniversary marketing, all look like the makings of an instant sell out sales report lol

I hope it does happen, but I think it’s gonna be beyond my lifetime

Impeesa started following Bandai DX VF-31
-
Strange, I was about to bump this myself a few days ago to ask about something. I just picked up and unboxed Arad's VF-31S recently, and the left wingtip doesn't click into place so it droops a little instead. Was this ever a known issue and is there any sort of fix? I saw like one post deep back in the thread from when it was newish from someone who seemed to have the same problem, but not much else. Anyway, I got it because I just finished convincing myself that based on the timing since the Hayate Revival (and the unfinished Super parts for the original run), Bandai wasn't going to do Revivals of the rest of Delta Flight any time soon. Picked up the last couple I didn't have, and even some extra Super parts to try my hand at customs eventually. And of course, that meant it was even more unlikely that they were going to reissue the 31A any time soon, may as well bite the bullet and grab that too. 34k for a B-grade at Amiami doesn't hurt too bad compared to the reissue price, but still. Anyway, all that to say, now I wouldn't be surprised at all to see all four remaining Revival bundles with supers in the near future. You're welcome, everyone.

One for robot mode and one for fighter, pretty cool. Too bad it not just both types though, but still a cool deal
-
I've never seen a general retail release sell out on pre-orders like this, especially with the current tariff situation. I know the VF-31A was highly sought after when it first came out but I thought the demand would of have gone down by now going by the availability I see all the time on Mandarake. I wonder if the shops just didn't list that many as their stock in the first place?

Thanks for the link. That’s a great deal. 👍

Thanks for the responses. I’m a bit more old school and love the og stuff most and really haven’t read up on stuff beyond that.
