According to the Tamashii website: "late July" for both 商品発送予定 2009年7月下旬予定 - google translate - Expected stock : Expected late 2009 7 And just for reference : Armored parts for the 25F - Mid-September 2009 VF-25F clear fold version - Early September 2009

Volume 2 is supposed to be released next month and nobody has it for pre-order yet...

The pre-order page for the clear VF-25F is up: http://p-bandai.jp/tamashiiwebshouten/item-1000002740/ Using google translate, I found this relevant: ※ VF-25F MESAIABARUKIRI" as a base and a movable gimmick gimmick or deformation. However, because they are all painted exterior surfaces, when treatment is required Please note that off and painted. Apparently it is not only clear but has a "special coating". Looks like it's following the steps of the metallic variations of the Mac 7 ones... "transform at your own risk"

The leaked pic: The ones from Yamato's website: ... so which is the one that is going to be released?

Proof that they are not photoshopped

Apparently they are going with the lighter shade for the 1J:

But... look @ the pic from the Shizouka Hobby Show:

I've seen the stands in stores... thy're actually "generic" stand for action figures that also work with the VF100's. BUt you might as well try the Bandai stands for model kits, the small ones... or even the SMS stand. They suit these things perfectly.

Can anyone confirm if the reissue has an updated neck joint?

Vol. 21 includes a sticker with the number 08 to use in the Cospa T-shirt page that was released with volume 14 (it has 01 originally). I guess they decided it was not worth printing again...

I collected mine yesterday and I must say that I'm very very happy with it I think the first ones didn't include this photocopy addendum:

Nice! that's how Bandai should have made them

Thx! Looking forward to the review Thanks for the pics! Definitely something to consider. FlexiDisplay: http://www.laftoys.com/

Can you post pics of the styrene mod please? Also... is someone able to confirm the differences / improvements (or lack of) in the reissue VF-25F? Thanks in advance

Sounds good! Pics please?

Maybe the guys @ Yamato were after the Mac 7 license since the development of the VF-11B, hence the detachable cockpit / escape pod... so a VF-11C is a possibility

Apparently there's some news here (same report where the Virgin Road figures appeared): http://www.yamato-toys.com/blog/index.php In this part: 続きましてお詫びが御座います。 最近発売した一部媒体に載っている弊社の商品「1/60 完全変形 YF-19 リペイント」（白ベースで赤＆黒ラインが入っている画像の物）についてですが、初期段階の彩色テスト画像が表示されており、実際に発売する予定のカラーリングとは異なります。 実際は、白を基調としたオレンジ＆黒のラインの機体と、白を基調としてブルー（紺）＆黒のラインの機体の２種を進めております。コメント文も「関節周りも若干改良されている」と表記していますが、実際は今までのYF-19に使用していた検査基準を見直し、今までと同じ生産過程内で 『今まで以上に基準を攻める』 という事になります。 簡単に言うと、『変形等に発生していた「緩い」や「合わない」といったストレスを軽減している』と言う意味ですので、改良している訳では御座いません。 after Google translate: Apology to the御座IMASU続KIMASHI. All of our products listed in the media that some recently released "1 / 60 complete deformation RIPEINTO YF-19" (in red & white images of the lines in black) is about the color of the initial test image is displayed, and will be available in the color is different really. In fact, orange and white and black lines and planes, as a white, blue (dark blue) and the aircraft's two black lines on the species. Comments and statements "that are articulated around a bit improved," the characters are, in fact, so far reviewed the YF-19 was used to test standards in the production process as far The push for standards than ever It is called. Simply said, had caused the deformation and "loose" or "not" it's less stressful and I mean it, because of the improved HA御座IMASEN.

He did: The question now is... how?

Apparetly it says so here: ※本商品には1/60完全変形YF-21に付属した専用スタンドは同梱されません。 http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=1351

It's OK if they're just phone camera pics

I'll take a pic when I get back home. For reference, the sheet was included in Macross Chronicle no. 13.

Funny thing is that the image of the Battroid mode of the VF-22S from the Macross Chronicles doesn't have a canopy cover. Maybe Yamato contacted the publisher of the Chronicles in advance to avoid any inconsistencies

Buy a Yamato VF, help the Japanese economy!

Same here, but I hope it doesn't go past 5 binders. I bought the last 2 that HMV japan had in stock. And I have found only one place in Singapore that sells them... @ 46 SGDs, around $30 USD a piece

Of all the 3 "brown" shades I prefer the one of the upcoming VF-1A:
