Apparently it is... it's not entirely white, it's a bit grayish, and the red is a bit faded. It actually fits the description in HLJ's website. I didn't know the Super Pack would look like that though

A new pic of the Armored VF-25S: AND... the "renewal version" VF-25F I must say I don't like the light blue color of the Super Pack

Nevermind... I found a pic of the VF-25F with the new colors

Could those be the movie version VF-25s? Remember HLJ's description of the DX re-issue: "Color differences include a slight blue-gray tone on the Valkyrie's white body, fading red tone, dark metallic tone joints..."

It's also for sale @ yamato's website: http://www.yamato-toys.com/ec/items/detail...p;infolnk=index It has a release date of July 15th (yesterday) and... the website lists the index of the book: 004 VF Photo Files／VF フォトファイル 018 VF-1 5-Side View／VF-1 五面図 1/72 024 Structure and system of the VF-1／VF-1バルキリーの構造とシステム 040 Cutaway Drawing of the VF-1／VF-1バルキリー機体構造図 042 Cockpit System／VF-1のコクピットシステム 045 Weapons & Stores for the VF-1／VF-1搭載兵装 052 Haward GU-11 Gunpod／ハワード GU-11ガンポッド 054 Block Numbers and Details／VF-1の生産ブロック解説 058 VF-1 Variations／VF-1バリエーションズ 061 The Variable Fighter／可変戦闘機としてのVF-1 066 Transformation Sequence／VF-1変形シークエンス 068 Caution sign and Modex／VF-1コーションデータ 074 Pilot Suites／統合軍可変戦闘機パイロットスーツ 075 The Over Technology of Macross At The VF-1 Series／VFにおけるOTM 079 Thermonuclear Turbine Engine／VF-1の熱核タービンエンジン 081 Development of The VF-1 Series／VF-1バルキリー開発史 089 VF-0 Phoenix／VF-0フェニックス 090 The Story of Streak Valkyrie's Challenge／ストリークバルキリーの挑戦 094 VF-1 Squadrons 2009-2014／VF-1部隊配置 096 VF-1 Operations／VF-1部隊運用 100 CVS-101 Prometheus／CVS-101プロメテウス 108 Extra Files of VF "VF-1JA"／VFエクストラファイル「VF-1JA」 119 Squadron Marking of "Valkyrie" ／VF-1 部隊カラー＆マーキング

From the Tokyo Toy Show link that CF18 posted in the VF100's thread (http://blog.hobbystock.jp/report/2009/07/tp0165.html):

According to OverDrive's latest newsletter, they will be released on the 28th.

Damn, I was going to stop buying the VF100's but this one looks VERY good!

Wow, I thought we'd see the Monster in the VF100's line, not in this one Looks like the VF's in this series will have a metallic shine.

I hope this one comes with an improved crotch lock

I think the "irregular issues" term refers to the publication schedule of the magazine. Regarding the quantity, I believe if you put 2 you get 2 and 3... and if they're out of vol. 002 you'll get 03 and 04. But I think it's easier if you e-mail them directly... their response time is not bad I only ordered "1" and I got volume 002 from them.

If this has something to do with what kresphy just posted in the Macross F News section (VF-25のスーパーパックはリニューアルして新しくなる ), I think this will be the first "movie version" VF-25

VF-1D:

I just got my copy of Mac Ace 002 today and the VF-1D's head does look different... I'll take a pic later today.

Some pics of GA Graphic's Variable Fighter Master File VF-1 Valkyrie:

I e-mailed Kinokuniya here in Singapore but I haven't received any reply... and I didn't see the first issue for sale there when it was released. Amazon Japan doesn't have it either... But... I found it in an online store called Nippon Export

From ANN: The theatrical film adaptation of the Macross Frontier television anime series will open in Japan on November 21 under the name Gekijō-ban Macross Frontier ~Itsuwari no Utahime~ (Macross Frontier the Movie: The False Songstress). The Kadokawa Cineplex and Shochiku Multiplex theaters' websites both revealed the title and date, and the second issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Macross Ace magazine will announce the details on Friday. The teaser trailer for the film will premiere in Japanese theaters on June 27, which is the same day that ticket pre-sales will begin. The planned Fall opening date for a theatrical film remake of the Macross Frontier anime series was first revealed via an itasha (vehicle decorated with character art) mini-van outside the "Macross: The Super Dimension Space Launching Ceremony" event in February. However, creator Shoji Kawamori and the cast members Yuuichi Nakamura (Alto), Aya Endo (Sheryl), and Megumi Nakajima (Ranka) noted in the actual event that the new date and even the title of the project was subject to change at the time. The film will include new footage of Sheryl's concert and Nakajima's new song, "Sō Da Yo." The Macross Frontier television series marked the 25th anniversary of Studio Nue's classic science-fiction franchise that combines transforming robotic mecha , love triangles, and interplanetary war.

And... still not available in Amazon Japan. According to the website, vol. 002 will include some info and screen captures of the Macross F movie... I guess those will be the images from the trailer.

THE TRAILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so it will be attached to the new Evangelion movie? wow... it's going to be a big promotion campaign then

WOOOOOW! Since there appears to be no release date set, I wonder if this will be released as a tie-in to the movie...

I'm concerned that ALL the recent pics show it on the stand. I really want to see if it can stand on its own and especially if the crotch lock can hold the weight of the armor, since I'm not planning on using the stand for every single pose

yesterday I took out my VF-1J from storage (had been there for 1 month) and...

New pics (I think) of the Armored VF-25F:
