    The YF-25 Prophecy was the only renewal VF-25 that I owned from Bandai. It was such a unique scheme, and the only one that was officially from the New UN Spacy. Way back when you could get it from BBTS, for Christmas one year I got the original VF-25F Alto Custom. It is definitely showing its age, but I passed it onto my 14 year old son, and he enjoys the heck out of it as one of his only, true Macross jets that he owns. I now have the special VF-25F World Wide Macross release and it has rekindled my love for the designs of Macross Frontier. Twich

    for the size of the toy, it just looks damn good. I have noticed, and maybe I am getting delusional in my old age, that the feel and look of this VF-0S Bandai Hi-Metal R is just superior to previous Hi-Metal R toys that I have( I have a VF-2SS Nexx, VT-1 Super Ostrich and VF-4G Roy homage ver.) On getting the VF-0S, I just felt like this was a step above those other toys. Dont get me wrong, I love the other Hi-Metal R Macross jets that I have, but the VF-0S feel superior to me. Twich

    So, I am curious about your statement....how is a VF-31 Siegfried on par with a VF-27? I would think that with the 4 engines, the prerequisite that it has to be piloted by an android and the fact that all the weapons are beam based, with a huge beam cannon/grenade gunpod as its main weapon, along with 2 sets of beam guns of various size, how is a VF-31 on par? I guess that if I think about it, the Fold Wave system could be a boost to the performance of the VF-31, but isnt it only a 15% increase in thrust from the Fold Wave System? Twich

    Kinda like initial block F-16’s and the latest block (70 I think) are so different from the initial, they call it Viper. Twich p.s.-also like F/A-18 Hornet to Super Hornet

    The theater did have 3D, I remember specifically asking my son why they didn't pass out the 3D glasses. I guess they have it both in 3D and not 3D. Maybe a decision of the theater in light of Covid-19. Who knows now days. Great movie though, but long. Over 3 hours.... Twich

    It is weird, I also have the same problem with my Hi-Metal R VF-2SS Nexx custom. Maybe it is a Bandai thing. Twich

    Saw this last night with my son. Was very good, the CGI was definitely top notch, wish that it had been released in the jaw-dropping 3D like the first movie. Definitely enjoyed and hope they follow through with more sequels. Twich

    I hope that they can pull it off. I'm still enjoying the hell out of Warhammer 40k Inquisitor Martyr since the upgrade to PS5 and can't wait for the sisters of battle DLC. Twich

    for this to be a "hot damn" fighter, the stats are rather lackluster. I would not call this an upgrade, but rather a large downgrade, ala VF-17 to VF-171. Twich

    Thank you for answering! Twich

    I believe we would do well with master files on the VF-171, VF-27, YF-29, SV-262 and YF-30. I know I would buy any and all of those. Twich

    Is anyone else noticing that their feet/thrusters on this toy don’t completely close while in fighter mode? Anyone have any suggestions for this? Thanks! Twich

    Are the new Arcadia 1/60 YF-19 with Fast Packs with the 40th Anniversary logo on it for sale still? I am only finding used previous releases of this toy on Mandarake. Twich

    I know the during the latest event, there was a lot of news concerning future Bandai releases, but was there any update on Arcadia’s 1/60 VF-5000? Is there a release date that I missed? Twich

    I have this pre ordered. While I don’t read Japanese, I enjoy the pictures, and who knows what little nuggets we might glean from it. Twich

    Are those Hi Metal R? Twich

    I’m sorry, I guess that I didn’t complete my thought well enough with my statement. I was meaning that the tech level was earth level, meaning full spec reaction engines and materials that keep those emigrants from rising up against earth because earth has the full spec tech. I was hoping that by knowing what the stats are for this, we could reasonably understand just how much more powerful the earth spec VF-24 is, or whatever has replaced it for Earth main variable fighter. Twich

    So here is a question, does the group Heimdall come from, or are supplied from earth? The reason that I ask is that we have discussed that due to restrictions, a redacted and downgraded spec of the VF-24 was sent out to Emigrant fleets for use as a Variable Fighter. We have supposed that the stats for an Earth Spec VF-24 exceed even that of the prototype YF-29 Durandal. Would it be reasonable to expect that the stats for the SV-303 used by Heimdall would come close to that of the Earth Spec VF-24? What are people’s thoughts,since it seems we will never get the stats of any VF from the second Macross Delta movie. Twich

    So, with the revival Bandai DX Chogokin VF-25F Super Set Alto custom revival version (try saying that 3 times fast), it comes with Alto in his ex-gear on a little stand. Is this new, or did it come with the renewal version of the toy. Thanks! Twich

    Okay, cool! Thank you for telling me. I hope I will find this under the Christmas tree. Twich
  21. twich
    Thanks for the replies guys! With Christmas coming up and this being available for sale from BBTS, the wife might surprise seem Christmas morning! Twich

    So, is this version of the YF-29 the same as the YF-29 Durandal Full Set Pack alto use? Does it have more Tampo on it? I know it has the Jenius family crest itashi on the back, but any other improvements? I dig the color and the YF-29 is one of my favorite Macross designs! Twich

    I think the only sticky point would be how they would do the wings and what method they use to make the wings stiff and not floppy. Also, bandai would have to only have permanently attached wings, dont know how they could make removable wings for that, unless they do flat wings, wings with wing boosters and then the articulated wings that are molded that way. Either way, as one of the biggest variable fighters out there, it would be a giant box if they include the accessories that they should. Twich

    I would really like to see the VF-0B and VF-0C that the Variable Master File says were produced for the UNS Marines. I think that all the versions of both the VF-0 and SV-51 would make great Hi-Metal R Macross jets! Twich

    I really like the new design choices for the Hi Metal R VF-0S and it looks like this is carried over to the VF-0D Shin custom, and I hope that we are able to see the full line of VF-0's: VF-0A, VF-0B, VF-0C, VF-0D, VF-0D Shin Custom and VF-0S, and I hope they are able to also make a solid SV-51. As someone pointed out previously in this thread, the size and price make it so it is very enticing to "collect them all" Twich
