I'm sure NY will have plenty of pre-order slots available. But I fear that they might not secure enough stock. The whole NY hype started with the VF-171 CF so we have to wait if the can fulfill all of those orders.
-
Well what a frustrating morning, I'll have to buy something else as a release *loads amazon page*
-
Not even remotely funny
-
So tense..... [4:00 pm] The amiami server was annihilated.
-
Well nothing at the 2 pm mark. Guess I'm going back to bed for another 90 minutes. Because there is still hope. Right? Right? RIGHT???
-
Meh, it is a nice shade of green I have to say.
-
*yawn* what a pleasant surprise. Relax guys I just used to cg argument because it sometimes seen as the messiah for all things mecha. I'm sure if the script requires a gun-pod there will be a gun-pod no matter what. CG model follows script or something. Well it's 13:21 in Japan I just wait a few more minutes.
-
But but the cg-models??? I just pretend in my mind that it was the gun-pod of the VF-24F that hovered mysteriously into the hand of the RFV-25. Also I would rather have a Ghost drone than a gun-pod for Lucas Valkyrie.
-
Yeah I guess you are right. This brings up the question where is it stored? The default slot between the arms is blocked in Fighter-mode due to the radar-fin.
-
Maybe you're right but all Renewals came with some gimmick: Alto flying in EX-Gear, a Ranka pilot figure, awesome grappling hooks. I can't think what an appropriate gimmick for Luca would be besides a Ghost drone. Plus he does not have a gun-pod in the show if I'm not mistaken. But maybe the price tag comes from the added bulk through the rad-dome and -fin. I guess I have to find out by ordering one.
-
For this price tag I expect at least one Ghost drone. Maybe we get three and no gun pod. That would be really kind from Bandai.
-
I'm not sure that you are able to score one even if you see the pre-order happen (assuming that you order on-line). Bandai will release fewer units because Luca has not as much fans as Alto, Ozma or Michael have. The people who have the previous three Renewals want definitely one to complete the squad. The people who could not score one until know want to get one that have at least one toy of the Renewal mode. And all the scalpers who see how well they sell on the after-market want so secure as many units possible to make a profit. As a dirty Gaijin you can only lose. *loads the NY website* Oh and I welcome all forum members so continue the debate that ended after the pre-order window for the VF-171 CF.
-
Awesome I planned to get up early do to some work, maybe I see it happen *sets the alarm to 5 am*
-
So in June it is.... When do we expect the pre-order windows go up? Next Monday?
-
Honestly, I don't know if a toy survives that long in the hands of a child. Or at least yellowing was the smallest problem. All these poor toys I mangled as a child... *sigh*
-
It came with a small Ranka figure! Also the Galia 4 packaging looks smaller then the VF-25 V1 boxes where the VF-171 Super Parts Box had the same size as the Valkyries iirc. So it would be easy to bundle the two in a gift set. So if the wings were not included they would have either a huge box with lots of free space in the inlay or a small box that they cannot bundle with the main toy. Of course that bundle will never happen.
-
Minus the VF-19 ball joints in the angles of course.
-
Correct me if I'm wrong but if I'm not mistaken the term Stealth comes from a planes ability not to be detected by radar because it's radar signal is so small. This ability comes mostly from the shape of the plane and the material its fuselage is coated with. In addition most stealth planes are also not traceable by their heat signature because the mask their heat sources (i.e. engines). None of this is affected by the color and/or markings of a plane. So it is possible to have a stealthy but shiny red VF-17 *cough* I didn't want to offend you Froy. It was just something that crossed my mind in this very second. If I'm wrong feel free to correct me.
-
I also think they look way to busy for my tastes and I can understand why Yamato did not tampoprint all the small stuff that is on the sticker sheet. But at least the markings the Valkyrie had on the anime would be nice (i.e. the kites and the triangle marking).
-
Good review jenius. I still don't get why Bandai choose the white markings on a white plane for the wings while the markings on the legs are black....
-
I'm sure they make sense in the mind of a Japanese business man.
-
Well I thought they do a reissue of the YF-29 30th Anniversary Edition because they figured that not enough people who bought the first release are interested in the Super Parts. So now the release a second wave of the YF-29s to sell enough Super Parts so they don't make a loss with this product. And thus the reissue will be release first so that there are enough orders for the 30th Anniversary Super Parts to make their one time production run profitable. I mean, why not release a reissue of the VF-25s. From what I get here in the forums the would sell millions of units of the VF-25S On the other hand I'm pretty sure that I'm crazy and I can't trust myself any longer. That I don't understand Japanese does not help the issue. *giggle*
-
In my opinion the EX Super Parts don't look good on the CF version so I don't mind to buy CF specific packs because the off-white color looks really good on the dark teal of the plane. Plus we might get the Vajra control missiles with the new Super Parts. I think that the hard point wings were included to justify the price for the Super Parts. Although Yamato proofed that you just have to sell them in a large box.
-
The YF-29 Super Part will be released in May via the Tamashii Web Shop. The reissue of the YF-29 is released in March. My question was if the reissue comes with a painted base for the display stand (because I really want one).
-
Just saw this image here: Look at the YF-29. It has a painted stand. Does this mean that the Super Parts or the re-issue come with this stand? Because the stand of the first release is just black.
