It's the exact same mold as the recently reissued Alto 29, so it'll have all the same problems/fixes. It would be bizarre even for Bandai to switch back to a 10+ year old mold after spending the time and money to update it.

^exactly^

So my order was placed, completed, shipped and received. Overall I am pleased. The items were listed as used but were actually sealed with original taping. Shipped on the 20th from Japan via DHL and original ETA was the 25th, but I actually got them on the 22nd.

The Mirage Super Parts and Lill Drakens were a nice add. I'll put a recommendation for: Suruga-ya.com!

Except for HLJ, most US sites don't require me to put a full payment up-front. I also can't stay up til 3AM for a PO party cuz of work; I can wait a month.

Here's confirmation it will be a worldwide release. Less F5 spamming all around at the usual JP sites.. 

 

Cool! Easy PO here I come again!

Anybody found another US website with this?  I'm wondering how BBTS are able to pull this off unless they're hoping to fly under the radar.

Maybe an exclusive since Nora's SV-51 seems to have only been available on BBTS for US sites too?

Agreed. 
nevertheless, I understand that money is tight. And for some, it's only possible to acquire more Deculture by saving money. It's also important to support the franchise. One way or the other.

Agreed and understood!

I understand the whys of ordering from Japan but at the same time "we did clamor" for years to get Macross released into the US market; so too not support the US retailer and the franchise's new endeavor for WW releases seems counter productive.

By specs, I'd have to say it's probably the YF-29... since GERWALK mode frees up all of its weaponry at once except for the coaxial machine guns, and it has overall the highest total maneuverability performance and heaviest armor thanks to its top-tier ISC and the wingtip reaction engines.

Cool, thank you. Does the 31 lose the ability to use its leg missiles in Gerwalk?

Not really sure what to make of this question, TBH... do you mean in terms of specs, or just presentation in the anime?

I meant by technical specs.

By just a look either anime or toy; it's the 31 with/ without supers. Then the 29, 25 and last the 17 w/o supers in my personal view.

Which Valkyries in Gerwalk mode have the most/ best usage of dynamics and functionality; with/ without super or armored parts?

Since Max is what: a Ret. Admiral; I feel like he should have the Ozma 29 head.

awesome transaction with @blackconvoy_D01, great communication, fast payer and also saved me at the post office. Owe you one buddy! And enjoy the valk!!

 

Thanks to you too @davidwhangchoi

Fast shipping, super patient, excellent direct communication and great fortune in the craziest of circumstances!

The only thing that would make this better would be that its a double feature!

Cool, but would love if Bandai did a Destroid Cheyenne II even more!

I doubt it able to fit it as AX module is totally different more bulkier than original 31S

Got it; thanks. Love the look of the wing boosters.

Will the AX super parts fit on the TV 31s?

Just now, JB0 said:

Pretty sure it will bear precious little resemblence to Voltron or Golion anyways.

True. But personal preference.

GoLion would be better vs Voltron.

mind post the link for the display adapter?

I'm trying to use the 1/60 universal display stand for perfect grade but no adapter that comes with it is compatible with the connection that comes with the toy.

Sure, NP:
