    Could somebody post a hi-res scan of the VF-31J Super Pack spececifications and description from the 1/72 super pack kit, please? Just need the tech spec and description section, NOT the model kit assembly instructions.

    That 31A is awesome.

    I too prefer viewing the full version of the site on my mobile. I hate neutured mobile versions of websites.

    There is a way to change from mobile to desktop version. Here's how I do it on my Android LG V10 phone.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Like the VF-31J so much, I just broke down and bought a second one, even though I said I wouldn't.......Hahaha. Second one will be used with the Super Packs when they arrive.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Graham replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    I’m also really loving the 31J box. It’s made of super sturdy card. I compared it to the VF-19Advance box, which is really flimsy in comparison. Also loving the flap top, “remove before flight” card and the card cover for the accessories (hands/knives/pilots”), really classy touches. I normally don’t keep my toy boxes (not enough space), but I’m definitely keeping the VF-31J box. I transformed the 31J from Gerwalk to Battroid mode last night for the first time. I found the instructions were not really clear on some steps of the torso transformation and locking, so I ended up looking at Suburo’s photos to see how the torso is supposed to look when fully transformed. I’m sure if I could read Japanese the instruction manual would be clearer. I have to say I think the Bandai 1/72 transformable model kit actually has easier/better torso transformation and locking than the DX. In my opinion, that’s the only area where the model kit is actually better than the DX. Really digging the extendable and ratcheted hip joints on the VF-31J Battroid. Bandai have done an awesome job on this toy. Like the majority so far, I do wish the canopy was a bit clearer. As I’m only going to be buying one of each, I’m starting to think which modes I’m going to display the Delta Squadron DX’s in. Probably like this: Hayate’s VF-31J = Gerwalk. Messer’s VF-31F = Fighter. Arad’s VF-31S Battroid. Mirage’s VF-31C = Battroid. Chuck’s VF-31E = Fighter. Hayate’s episode 26 VF-31J = Fighter. VF-31A Kairos = Fighter.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Really liking this toy. Only transformed it to Gerwalk so far, but no problems. Joints nice and tight, but not overly tight. I'm not usually a huge fan of Gerwalk mode, but the 31J looks awesome in Gerwalk. Had one scare when transforming, I thought one of the folding green side petals of the charger was missing, until I saw it was folded inside the charger.....haha Will try transforming it to Battroid tonight. Was too jetlagged last night to attempt it. I also really like the silhouette of the fighter mode, as it reminds me of the VF-19F/S, which is one of my all time favourite VFs.

    Most recent purchase......VF-31J DX.

    I loved it, definitely going to see it a second and maybe third time. So many cool nods to the original trilogy, the Clone Wars & Rebels. Graham

    Anyway, this is a thread to discuss the VF-31 DX toys. If you want to discuss the anime, take it to the relevant thread!!!!!

    Thanks, but no thrust to weight ratios for the VF-31 FAST Packs yet? Nobody bought or posted scans from the Bandai Super pack model kit manuals yet?
  15. Graham
    Massive fleet battles? We must have been watching a different show Previous Macross series have always managed to balance the idols, music, mecha, action, love triangle, characters and story. Delta was disappointing in that the mecha, action and character development for most of the characters pretty much disappeared during episodes 14 to 25. Graham

    Does anyone have thrust-to-weight ratio figures handy they could post for: VF-31J VF-31J Super VF-25F. VF-25F super. Thanks in advance, Graham

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Graham replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    I'll definitely buy Hayate's VF-31J with the black trim and Knight emblem if Bandai release it later as a DX.
  18. Graham
    It's great until the halfway point, but then goes downhill rapidly from episode # 14 onwards.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Graham replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Hang on, we don't know that Messer's VF-31F is next for sure. All that has been posted are some photos with no context.

    Yeah, Frontier was such an awesome show in my opinion, exactly how a Macross TV series should be. I just recently re-watched it to help get over my disappointment about how badly the second half of Delta turned out. The only single negative thing I have to say about Frontier was that the character animation quality was a bit dodgy in a few episodes where they farmed out the animation to obviously tier 3 SEA animation studios. I have the Bandai Frontier DVDs, but if they came with English subs on Blu-ray, I'd definitely re-buy the whole series. Delta, I bought the first disk, with the initial intention to by the rest, but honestly, I just can't justify buying the whole series given how much it jumped the shark after episode 13. I may eventually buy up to episode 13, but it's no longer such a priority.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Graham replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    I'm so stoked for these. Gotta catch em all! I must say having the TomyTech has really made me like Mirage's color scheme. Before I was kinda meh about it, but I've really grown to like it, so looking forward to Mirage's DX as well.
  22. Graham
    Is that a Saint Seiya - Gundam Unicorn mash up, or what?
  23. Graham
    Just watch episodes 1-13 and 26. There is almost no mecha featured in episodes 14-25.
  24. Graham
    Sheesh, that looks like something out of a Power Rangers show!!

    Valks and light

    Graham replied to Mr Bomber's topic in Toys

    I think it will really depend on the type and grade of plastic used in the toy. I've had several Bandai/Banpresto/Yamato toys yellow over the years despite being kept in their boxes or stored in drawers and not being exposed to any type of light source.
