Maybe there are too much culture within human civilization in Macross Delta. Singing is totally banned on planet Delta that's why all the former singers/idol join the UN Spacy to become combat pilot.

It does have EX-gear. You can see the shoulder armor for it in the cockpit.

No, that's a giant seat belt.

So are the idols pilots too? I took this screenshot and the pilot doesn't look like it could be one of the girls.

First image of the new pilot suit btw

So, no EX-gear?

Forget Valkyrie squadron, we need Razgaiz squadron up in here.

here comes the double gun forearm forward pose! ala gundam wing-zero...

Didn't Milia already did that in her Q-Rau in DYRL?

I really hope we see a VF-30. The -31 is both too different from the 30 and too much like the 25/29. I really just wanted a slightly tweaked YF-30. Just a few little things could have made it amazing.

I thought the VF-31 is a YF-30 with different wing configuration?

That would be interesting. Make everyone think it's a warm hearted series then BOOM! 180 degrees in the 1st episode. (Just going with the what the anime series did)

You still gonna need to get those 6 drakens. Each of those green/silver ones got their own markings.

Muv-Luv total eclipse = total switch and bait. Start off with a bunch of moes then BANG almost all of them got blown away. Then you figure this is going to be a alien warfare is serious business anime, then BANG it turns into flight (high) school love triangle/ top gun show.

Wasn't Leon's call sign when flying the YF-30 Chronos "Siegfried 001"

Yes.

Japanese sure love them German name. Long live the Axis power i guess.

Or maybe this guy is Alto's son:

I know, I know, it's only 8 year after frontier but hey fold dilatation and all that, right? (he even seems to have Sheryl's earring hanging from his neck)

Blue hair. So either Minmay's grandson or Max and Milia got back together....if you know what i mean.

Kawamori said that no come with gunpod because have retractile mini gunpods by the way it is Ranka Lee?

Looks like Alto/Sky end is canon. So, Ranka and Sheryl got together instead and mixed their DNA into a test tube baby. This is who we're seeing I believe.

After looking at the Valkyrie girls, it looks like Macross Delta is going full moe in character design.

I'm kinda disappointed, but i'm still going to watch it.

the cheyenne was also teased during the trailer...i wonder if that would be in bandai's line up!

drooling just thinking abt it....

Yes!

I wouldn't mind seeing them actually shooting down something in the show too.

They need to do a side story about Destroid combat units in Macross.

My impression... MACROSS X AKB48 Collaboration desu ne.

Wow, this looks like it is going to girls band vs boys band in Delta. Spice's girl vs Backstreet boys.

Nice concept I guess, as long as they don't sing to each other during combat.....sigh, they are going to sing to each other during combat aren't they?

The VF-31 is looking good so far. Hope we can get more detailed picture later on this week.

Arcadia Higher quality in what ? The plastic?

I said they're of high quality like better QC than their Yamato days. They also made improved upon their old Yamato mold with die-cast reinforced joints. Just really stuff of that nature. I still think they're overpriced though.

Whether they are of higher quality compare to their competition, coughBandaicough, that's a matter of personal opinion.

Dude, not sure if I was reading some sarcasm in your post. Are you trying to say that we do not have FREEDOM like you do in the U.S.?

But anyway, I've given him the link to HLJ. He'll be the one to decide if he wants to preorder with them or not. Thanks for the link.

Bruh, only Merica have FREEDOM. No other nations on Earth have it.

A HLJ. I know that they're really popular on this board, but I would not really like to recommend that my friend order from there for 2 reasons:

1) HLJ always declares full value, so customs will really kill him on the import fees

2) They only offer EMS as the priority shipping option to my country. EMS is possibly the worst way to have something shipped here as they charge even more import fees than our regular mail, and claiming the item from the PO can be a grueling 5 hour affair. Of course he can always choose the slower shipping options, but with the holidays regular mail can be up to 3 months delayed because of all the backlog that accumulates during the xmas season.

Well!

1) it would help to know where you and your friend lives in the first place to determine which online shop is best for you and your friend to order it from.

2) I honestly feel sorry for anyone who lives in countries with pesky custom and being charge outrageous money for importing stuff. They need more FREEDOM like we do here in the U.S.

What? Missiles are never optional! You don't go outside your house without pants on, just as you don't sortie without you missiles and gunpod! Any collectors who display their valk without their missiles are doing it wrong!

Where'd you preorder it from? My friend is also looking for one.

Preorder for VF-0S is still open on hlj.

Finally found one of these that I deemed affordable, and it is magnificent.

EDIT -- Wow, why do my photos all come out the wrong way round?

Your VF-0D is just pulling off some fancy combat maneuvers that's all. (barrel roll )

Hah you know it . I was wondering since my VF-19 Advance came with one and this one didn't.

Pretty much all of Bandai's recent releases include a simple display stance. It's not much to write home about, but it's something.

While Arcadia's products are of high quality, they tend to cut corners on everything else to cut cost. ie. limited amount of tempos and no display stance.

cdj: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-162661

27k-yen.

Same price as everybody else, but....47 USD for EMS shipping.....

The VF-4 preorder madness is real.

Arcadia have went over to the dark side with limited initial supply.

Everybody hit your panic button!

Pre-ordered from hlj!

Now the waiting game begins.

No discount though, they probably guess that this will sell out very quickly or something.

Saw one up on jungle for $400 before shipping. Listed as A condition.

I think for the added bonus of good shoulders mine is a damn good deal. haha

Well, after Jungle 5% fee + paypal fee + shipping is probably going to about what you're asking anyway.

So, they're about the same deal.

and dump..

YF-29 Banana. Solving world hungry one banana at a time.

whoa mind bending.....Let's just call it the infinity pod! 4 more days to go till the annoucement...excited i am...

Yes, it'll be the ultimate weapon pod. Nano-machines son!

I am trying to figure out how to display VF-G4 when it arrives, but got time since pre-order is not even out yet!

Just display it in fighter mode and pretend the Gerwalk and Battroid mode for the VF-4 doesn't exist.

Actually, looks like the new color might be right after all. I think the old versions went by the Hasegawa marking guide, but the new ventral fins actually look like they might be the correct color, at least for Episode 1.

Actually, I did mention that the sensors on the missiles are molded in the wrong color. They were red in the anime but yellow on the new VF-0S/A.

Not a lot of people seem bothered by that though.

Wonder if any Arcadia valks will make it to the Black Friday sale this year? Dang...this year flew by for me!

I wouldn't hold my breath for it, but if it does happen....good bye wallet.

It'll hold a small hangar, thereby letting you put a Valkyrie in your Valkyrie so you can variable fight while you variable fight.

It'll be called the X-Z1bT type pod.

Better yet, have the pod hold a mini Macross, and the mini Macross holds mini VF-30s with mini-mini Macross pods.
