    So, we know that we are getting the upgraded VF-31AX, which may or may not be an upgrade from the Siegfried specification for the design. We are getting a new enemy valk/variable drone AND we are getting a YF-29. Curious as to what changes/specifications we can look for on a production VF-29A/B/F/J/E/S? I wonder if they will reduce the specs slightly to make it more economical. Does it really need the fold wave system? There are no Varja to fight. is the VF-29 the new earth main variable fighter? We saw the limited production New UN Spacy YF-29B Percival in Macross 30 video game, so they have the specs….. just speculating… Twich

    So, I might be having an early onset senior moment, but did the big announcement from a week or so ago include the release date of the new Macross Delta Movie? Did it include when the Macross Frontier thing was releasing? Thanks, Twich

    So, with the new designation of VF-31AX Kairos Plus, what else, besides longer arm guns, dual beam cannon mission pack and custom heads will improve on these Valkyries to make them "plus"? I wonder if they did away with the expensive fold wave system and uprated engines and dialed it back for more reliability. I hope we get some mechanical information soon.

    it might be interesting to see what is new and different with a YF-29 design, basically 8 years later. Will it be the VF-29? I think it will look good with a nice itashi on the back and the weird "S" symbol of Xaos on it. Twich

    I wonder with all of this if the west, more specifically, english speaking individuals, will get the opportunity to read the novelizations of Macross Zero, Frontier, Delta, 30, Plus...etc. I enjoyed the translated novelization of Gundam Sentinel and would love to read all about the amount of material that is produced for these various Macross entries. If this has already happened, please point me in the right direction. Thank You, Twich

    Just in time for its next on screen exposure in the next Macross Delta movie, now in the color blue! Good job with your detailing, Love this design! Twich

    Well, suspending our disbelief on the affordability of the YF-29, from the mechanical design aspect, it is easier for Kawamori, he had to alter design of VF-31 Siegfried to the VF-31AX Kairos Plus version, design the new enemy valk/drone thing and rather than designing a whole new Uber powerful hero valk to save everyone’s collective butt, you pull out the YF-29 and give it a shiny new paint scheme. It is still more powerful than anything Xaos can field by order of magnitudes of power. Any, a whole new scheme to make a nice new DX toy with, get some of the design money back from the YF-29 Full Set release…..heck, I’d buy it along with the new VF-31AX and Enemy Valk! Trying not to be cynical on the 4th of July, happy birthday America! Twich

    My thought was that this cybernetic person was the female next singer….nothing saying that besides singing she can’t be a Valkyrie pilot or controller, if unmanned. Twich

    As I mentioned/speculated in the other thread, maybe the Siegfrieds were stripped of fold quartz to outfit that YF/VF-29 that they have in the trailer. Didn’t that require 4 large fold quartz stones to power its system? For the new VF-31=Reduce strain from not overclocking it’s engines, give it bigger railguns. Plus the new double beam cannon mission pack. Also Seto, didn’t you say these new VF-31AX Kairos Plus had a different carrier name? I am sure that it wasn’t cheap to replace the one lost in the last movie from the Macross cannon shot from the other Macross 0.5. Sounds like besides illegal cloning, Lady M may have developed the next designer drug crazy of the Macross universe to bankroll all this cash they are pumping out….. Twich

    Well that is interesting, I wonder how Xaos is saving up enough money to spring for a YF-29(or VF-29 since it is almost 10 years later), maybe this explains why no fold quartz for the Siegfrieds, perhaps they had to downgrade them to scrounge for enough fold quartz to outfit a YF-29 to full potential. So, this gets me thinking, if they need a YF-29 to take on the next enemy, is the new enemy valk a) require an Android, and b) is as powerful as a VF-27 Super. I am really digging the neon on black valk for the new enemy. I wonder how that will translate to a DX Chogokin transforming toy. Twich

    I do not think it is the enemy valk, the color of the YF-29 valk is blue, like Hayate’s scheme, where the enemy valk is black with neon colored strips. The reason I think it is a YF-29 is the distinctive vertical tail fins and the two little humps next to it for the integrated tornado cannons. At first I thought it was the trailer for the new Macross Frontier special, but then I saw a VF-31 in there too. Twich

    Is that a YF-29 we see in the clips that have been posted? twich

    Bandai DX VF-31

    twich replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    The new pieces by the heads of the VF-31AX look almost protoculture-esque in their design. The Windamearans had the Protoculture ship, maybe Xaos analyzed the capabilities to 100% and used it in the AX redesign. Twich

    Bandai DX VF-31

    twich replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Yes, that does look sweet! Has anyone noticed that the color palette seems to have gone drab for the new movie? Arads “S” model teased was the colors of Messer, now this one is all dark and drab. I’m not complaining, I like the new, more military color scheme. Twich

    shipping from Mandarake of a VF-31E just cost me 4330 yen for shipping via DHL, so I think that prices have gone up. Twich

    Bandai DX VF-31

    twich replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Going back about 40 pages, I noticed that several people have been having the gap at the knee joint, while grabbing to the sight, it does not really detract too much from the jet. My major issue, being the fact that the left wing will not sit tightly against the leg, I have shaved down the tabs going into the leg to see if it was a fit problem that way, but it hasn't really changed anything. I will not shave anything more off of the tab, and realistically, these are minor annoyances, but not ones that I experienced on my VF-31F Messer/Hayate version. I really love both of my VF-31's and do not regret buying them at all. It is just making me wanting to know more about the plans for future valk releases coming from the next Delta movie and the future. We got the VF-25G Tornado and the whole slew of YF-29 toys from the second Macross Frontier movie....how many DX toys will we get from this one. Twich

    Bandai DX VF-31

    twich replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    So these are pics of all the gaps and of the area where the wing hooks into the leg by the foot on the left side of fighter mode. The fact that the right leg remains extended in fighter mode at the knee joint puzzles me, as you would think that would be the side that doesn’t line up. Comparing it to my DX VF-31F Messer/Hayate release from passionate Walkure, they don’t seem to fit together the same. I am puzzled…. Twich

    Bandai Sv-262 DX valk

    twich replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    I believe that it is a really good design for both fighter and battroid, the Gerwalk is strange, but the real beast is trying to transform the DX toy. Who knows what the new movie will bring to us as far as new DX toys....one can hope. Twich

    Bandai DX VF-31

    twich replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    So question to the community who own VF-31's. I recently got a new, unopened VF-31E from Mandarake. I have noticed an issue with the legs/intakes staying connected while in fighter mode, and also, where the wing on the left side of fighter mode slides into the leg at the back of the fighter mode, near the feet. It will not fully engage into the slot made for it, I don't want to force it, but if I don't keep pushing on it, the wing will disengage from the leg and make the leg flop around. I have transformed it to try to workout the kinks associated with a new DX from the factory, but the issue has not resolved. Does anyone have any suggestions? The problem seems worse when the radar dish is deployed. Twich

    Wow, really makes me wish they would improve/revise the SV-262 DX mold and given us more variants. Twich

    I am interested in the Masterpiece Starscream ver 2.0, and was interested to see that they have changed the main landing gear placement for the toy, I was glad that it wasnt the little stubby wheels that flip out of the kneecaps that we got on the MP-3/11 molds. Twich

    Just got a Bandai DX Chogokin VF-31E brand new from Mandarake! Twich

    I guess the big buzz at midnight pacific time on 5/27/21 is the leak by Bloomberg article stating that the Nintendo Switch "Pro" will be shipping Sept/Oct and will be revealed before E3. It also states that it will be more expensive than the regular Nintendo Switch, which it will replace.......but of course, until we hear from Nintendo, this is just speculation. Twich

    My condolences to all involved.
