Haven't follow much of this for a while, i'm getting a michael custom because the color are just matching and sniper gun with 2 big cannon is a killer.. Just preorder one from NY, thanks.

Haven't got mine yet. hope it doesn't has any issue. slow shipping cause by holiday season in my country.

By the way the super parts is up at NY now and will be release on may 2014, still wondering if i should get it or not..

Or better yet, just buy the ghost parts v1 on Mandarake hahah

But you still have to get 3x v1 Ghost set, because the v1 set just have 1 ghost. that's 3x 4000~5000 yen. which is still far too expensive than just buy the v2 SP+3 ghost set. For extra you also get 3x weapon set for the rest of the VF-25s but the front clip on missiles are difficult to align it right, wish there are hard points on the 25s wing though.

Review of v1 ghost set can be found @ scorched earth toys.

RVF-25 just listed at mandarake for 13,000 & 15,000 yen.

Anyone still looking for this valk cheaper than NY could camp there.

Several v1 Ghost with missile weapon set are listed also for 4,000 & 5,000 yen. The announcement of v2 SP+Ghost already effecting the price of v1 Ghost sets.

Just preorder from NY but have to do separate preorder for VF-25G SP because the different on release date.

Does anyone know if the RVF-171 is the same color as the VF-171 CF (not the Luca color scheme of course)? I might pickup another CF and convert it into RVF-171. I don't know if Bandai will ever release a RVF-171 or not.

The color scheme should be like this according to macross mecha manual.

The head and canopy model is the same as Alto Ex than this CF version.

For the gunpod on the bandai 1/72 model kits it can't be attached while in fighter mode at all. The DX v.1 don't have the gun attachment extra parts also for RVF unlike others (Could someone who own one verify this because I don't have a v1). So maybe the renewal still can't attach the gunpod while on fighter mode ?

Just wandering why NY can get so many preorder than others.. And they never failed to fulfill those orders. They got special business connection with bandai ?

Mine is on the way, got the tracking from NY. Price @ NY just up to 5200 yen.

There is a alto's SP available at mandarake for 13000 yen if anyone still looking for one.

Limited pink red kimono Sheryl + Ranka @mandarake for 200.000 yen

Standard purple kimono Sheryl @mandarake for 20.000 yen

For my country there calculation is CIF(cost+insurance+freight-USD50) x 10~15% import duties + CIF x 10% vat + (CIF+vat) x 7.5% income tax + IDR7000 for repackaging after custom inspections

roughly anything above USD50 got to pay about 30% of duties&taxes for the extra cost.

Shop like NY undervalue the item they ship so it really helps to keep the overall cost down.

Really envy others that not have to think about the extra cost for importing toys.

Just got NY request also.

mine says "BEFORE 25th MAY 2013 08:00 AM Japan Time"

so maybe they will shipped out on 25th

Wow, the availability of VF-25F renewal reissue just got better and better, maybe Bandai have heard our called ?

Now the demands for those SP and AP for it is growing bigger and bigger, hope they will be reissue as well.

There are an old program called irshell that works on PSP with CFW. it can redirect controller on PSP to other controllers on PC or a PS3 controller connected to PC via bluetooth or USB cable. The screen is still on PSP but you can use any joystick on PC to play the game. To view it on TV, use the cable for video output. But dunno is it still working on latest CFW for PSP now.

To play PSP games directly on PS3 there are something called COBRA USB to be used on Jailbreaked PS3. But the latest development on PS3 hacking scene, it's possible to emulate PSP games to be play as PSP minis on JB PS3. Dunno about the compatibility of macross PSP games playing directly on PS3 though.

Or just waiting for better PSP emulator on PC, just connect your PS3 controller to PC via BT/USB and load the game via emulator program and play it on your PC with high resolution graphics hehe..

but the VF-25F being the 1st renewal to be released, it would logically follow that we ought to see the super parts and armor parts reissued for these before any other super parts get reissued right?

I am considering if I should take the plunge and fork out 7500yen and 11000 yen for these to get one now.. ahead of the release in July.

At the NY now :

VF-25F SP : 15.500 yen & AP : 19.000 yen

VF-25S SP : 9.600 yen & AP : 15.000 yen

YF-29 Alto SP : 17.800 yen --> the longer it's been released the higher the price just went up.. MSRP just 3.150 yen about 5.5x markup !!

Are there any other place besides auction that these parts are still available but not with high markup as NY?

Super parts for VF-25F is up again at NY but the price is 15.500 yen !! higher than the VF-25F itself at retail..

For armor parts it still at 19.000 yen, at that price it really scare ppl of from buying them.. Just hope Bandai will reissue the parts also.

I think the VF-171 CF preorder is back after NY received all the canceled preorder from ppl got cheaper VF-171 CF from HLJ last week.

So the RVF-25 will be back up hopefully in this case.

NY alto's VF-25 super parts went out of stock now and the armor parts is at whopping 19,000 yen...

I guess most of us don't want their newly preordered VF-25F naked

NY just sold out again, everybody here must already got their order in right now

Manage to get 1.

And now it's sold out at AE...

AE is OK, previously got VF-25G Renew from them.

Just secure one.. Thanks!!

Mine just shipped by AE via EMS. Already got the tracking number..

Hope it will arrive next week..

• Here @ JUNGLE SCS just got 1 "SEALED" Ozma at 19.950 Yen before handling and shipping fee, don't know is it worth it or not..
  

For preorder at nippon-yasan they do offer preorder payment method that they will bill at 2-3 weeks before the item is in stock. It's still better than pay 100% upfront now, months before the actual release date.
