    I am curious as to why “we” seem to have a lack of the stats from the new Macross delta movie? What and how has the VF-31AX Kairos Plus been upgraded over the original VF-31A/B? How over Powered is the SV-303? Twich

    Me too since I cannot read Japanese, I get it for the pretty pictures! Twich

    I have this on my Mirage too, even transforming the toy totally and resetting everything, it does not go back flush with anything, and as an added bonus, the knife in the arm shield mount will not stay connected and when I transform it back into fighter, it just detaches and rattles around in the wing. With that said, I love the toy and I am glad that I acquired it, and I hope that when Bandai announces a SV-303 or a new SV-262, they have improved the QC and ironed out the kinks, as these are some toys that I really want to get and love.

    as I have said in a previous post, I think that this might be a combination of mold flaw and bad QC on bandai's part. The same issues that I had with the wing tabs with my copy of the VF-31E were present on my VF-31AX Mirage. Twich

    It looked to be pre-production. The gear door on starboard nacelle fell off and was under the Valkyrie in fighter mode. Is it me, or did I see holes in the toy for placement of possible armor and a hole for a possible canard to stick into for a future VF-0C/D toy? I am really liking the look of this VF-0S and I hope they plan on a whole run of the Macross Zero Variable Fighters! Twich

    It is interesting to note after having the VF-31AX-Mirage for 24 hours: -the behind the cockpit gap seems easier to fix -the stand arm is so much beefier, which makes it more sturdy/secure while transporting while on stand -I like the way they did the canards, it seems easier to deal with and more realistic. -applied paint is beautiful, especially the itashi(sp?) While I’m not thrilled with the QC fit issues, I am very happy with this purchase, being the single most expensive Macross Jet for me to date. Twich

    Arcadia VF-5000G

    So the last post from here is from Feb, any news or has Arcadia gone quiet on this? twich

    So I just got my copy of Mirage’s Kairos Plus…..so, the QC things that people are reporting, the mini gun pod droop and the gaps in the arms and where the arms go into the wings and with the wing pegs going into the legs. the pegs going into the legs and the arms not seating properly into the wings were all the same issues that I had with my copy of the VF-31E Chuck. I wonder if this is a result of the mold breaking down or if it really is crappy QC from Bandai. so, for the pegs that go from wings to legs, I did the same as I did for Chucks -31E….I took my knife and whittled down the peg width. I don’t like to cut on brand new toys, but I need the wing pegs to fit into the legs correctly. Twich

    Wow, why is this so much more expensive than the MSRP of 14000 yen? I guess this is the price for getting it from domestic retailers. Twich

    I had the VF-31F release from the first Macross Delta movie and had not issues whatsoever. I love the design of the VF-31 and am very happy that I managed to secure a release of the Vf-31AX Mirage custom from Mandarake. I don't know, I guess with anything, the QC can be hit or miss. the SV-262 that I got before any other Delta valk was awesome, but it gave me anxiety trying to transform it from fighter to Battroid, so it stay in Battroid mode only and will probably never be transformed again.

    So I happened to be in Burlington, Vermont at the airport waiting to fly out and have known that the Green Mountain Boys (Vermont Air National Guard) have shared the runway with the Burlington airport. I look out of the gate window into the hanger space I see several F-35 ( I assume to be the F-35A model), which kind of surprised me, as I did not know that air national guard units were getting the F-35. I know that the Green Mountain Boys had f-16's for the longest time, but I am glad to see them with F-35's. I know that on 9/11 they sent their F-16's into the air without any air to air missiles loaded as they scrambled so fast. Twich

    So I just recently ordered one of these from Mandarake, I am very much looking forward to this valkyrie, as I enjoyed the VF-31C, but did not want to pay the prices that it commanded. With shipping, this ended up being $308, which is my most expensive valkyrie to date. I like the colors of the valkyrie, and the fact that it seems to be the only non-single head laser VF-31AX that has been released/announced so far. as far as all the QC issues that people are reporting, some of them seem to be similar to the VF-31E that I bought with the wing that wont tab in and the arms that don't fit right into the wing. *Knocks on Wood*, hope this valk that I will be receiving will be ok, as I display my valks in fighter mode most of the time. I will concur and second the statement that someone made that I hope that the upcoming(hopefully) SV-303 Vivastat will be designed by a different team, they really need to hit this one out of the part to strengthen bandai's enemy valkyrie showings.

    I am very happy that this is a worldwide release. I did the exchange rate from Yen to USD yesterday and it looks to be around $110USD. So, hope that doesn’t increase significantly and will be around the same price plus shipping, which from BBTS is $4, right? Very excited for this! Twich

    So, I have a question of logistics/design for Macross capital ships…..so if the Varuta super mega carrier had 8 Macross cannons, how does that work, logistically? It was my understanding that the Macross cannon had such huge power demands, that it limited it to just one per craft. Is it like the Death Star with many dedicated reactors per Macross cannon? Second question is why normal New UN Spacy ships equip more of them? Twich

    Why don’t we ever see Isamu use those, or the rotary cannons in the chest of the YF-19? Just doesn’t make sense….. Twich

    Sorry, my confusion, thought you were discussing the arm/vertical stabilizer weapons on the YF-21/VF-22S Twich
  17. twich
    Anyone notice in the description for this at LUNA PARK, it states special stage set? I wonder if it will get a special stand like the VF-31AX Hayate Custom. Twich
  18. twich
    Are you discussing the arm laser weapons on the YF-21/VF-22S? in the Macross plus animation, they are used in rapid fire by Guld in Battroid mode. Twich

    I rather enjoyed the movie. I do believe they were trying to establish the dynamic between the characters, as we see in the video games, I also believe that as long as they try to remain faithful to the video game while attempting to tell a good story, they might have a franchise on their hands.

    All this time that this picture has been around and I never saw the VF-27 in the back ground, it is hard to tell, but I wonder about the VF-25. I know they did the VF100 line with the VF-25, but those are primitive by HMR standards…..one can hope! Twich
  21. twich
    I too am curious on this, as I do not recall it being quantified how the YF-29B was an upgraded version of the original other than it saying "An upgraded version of the original" Twich
  22. twich
    Plus at least 4 Macross 1/2 class ships that we saw three in the first movie and a new one supposedly in the second Delta movie, plus the YF-29 Durandal for Max. Twich
  23. twich
    Something to do with the fold wave system, since all YF-29 have these stripes….or it could be because Bandai loves the markings Twich
  24. twich
    Awesome! As long as we can purchase it outside of Japan. Twich
  25. twich
    So is it going to include official subs in English and other languages? Will it also be region free? Twich
