Good thing MacrossWorld has gotten less hotheaded with time... those would've been fightin' words back when I first joined. 

Ingues is mercifully not up to much, having been reduced to nothing heavier than a cough by the combined fire of his entire fleet and two Macross Cannon-class anti-fleet gunboats.  Dragonball Super already beat us to the punch by bringing its purple Space Napo-Hitler back to life.

You've got to keep it lighthearted Yes he got smoked big time. I personally love macross 2. That's why I don't mind making a joke about it. That along with Mac plus was what brought me into the macross series back in the noughties.  It's not the best macross and it has it's fault ahem (dub) But the opening was awesome and I'm still holding onto the hope one day bandai or someone will produce Feff's Gigamesh power armor as an action figure. I'd buy a couple of them for sure. I have no idea where macross will go next. Hopefully (and this will be controversial) they focus more on mechs and less on J pop. 

Nin nin game still has the pre order for the 31s

That’s a shame.  The 19F looks great on the shelf and it’s a real draw when people look at the collection.

Don't worry I'm a 19 fan, too right! i have the Arcadia version. I just don't like the style of the valks in mac 7 for some reason. Maybe they are a little "too" cartoony for my liking.  It's the only series i can't appreciate fully compared to everything else. But i respect it enough to give it a watch 

If you have a ps3 i would recommend Macross 30

Yes, and we all share the same stress and dilemmas.

 

Especially around pre orders it seems!

That's Macross 7.

 

Did you just compare the mighty Mac 2 to 7?!

Sshh.. It's why I didn't mention Mac7 in the first place because that's what I meant.

Though, just so you know, I bought VF-11C and VF-19P just for its color for future customization.

Will do sir! Thanks!

 

Funnily enough, i'm watching Mac 7 atm. Kinda looked the other way on that series The VF-11c is big bucks these days. I'm still hunting for a 11b .

You already started this stress the moment you joined this forum.

 

Isn't that why everyone is here?

I'm sure it will. Moments after you place your preorder on the regular one.

 

I don't think i need that kind of stress in my life

Actually, I was wishing that the next series' Valks will look ugly (for me) so that I'm not incline to collect it. I don't mind if it's going to have a great story compared to Delta but if the Valk doesn't look nice to me, I'll skip it so that my wallet won't need defibrillator for non-stop purchasing.

 

That's pretty much Macross 7 for me and to an extent Delta. I skipped all of mac 7's valks because i'm not digging the styles (apart from the vf-11c) I have "only" got 5 of the delta ones. I'll class that as a lucky escape

Hope it's Macross 2: The Sequel - Ingues Strikes Back  "This time he's doing the singing, and you will know his displeasure"

I'm sure your wallet will evolve too. Hope it's not something scary in the end.

Haha no doubt. Thankfully the list has a lot crossed off. Just a few rare and odd valks to grab now.

Oh. I like it very much in Gerwalk mode though.

 

I agree, i think it's possibly the best look valk in gerwalk so far. It does look pretty awesome in all modes. probably why i bought two!

My beloved SV-51 Gamma is also a cool valk in all modes. I sold my first one (stupidly) years ago back when it released in 2007. Thankfully i sourced another which lives in its sealed box. Look forward to getting arcadia's version. wonder if it will get a premium too?

I wasn't going to get the 31-s. Having well and truly slept on the matter last night, i decided to get one pre ordered when i woke up.  I'll probably have to wear sunglasses when looking at it due to the "questionable" paint scheme. But seeing as my collection is made up of mostly VF-S and A types i guess the 31-S and A Kairos both have their place in my collection. Plus i just picked up a 25s, 25a and a vf-1a too.  So i'm all about the fodder flyers and valks with emblems on them by looks of it. Not how i thought my collection would go but i kind of like the way it is evolving. Still a few on the hit list to get.

got one from nin nin game £146 all in (21568yen) Right, im off to work. Well done everyone who managed and i blame you for making me buy one too!

Damn it it let me add to basket went to put in my details and it said sold out!

craaaap its gone

Guys nin nin game has add to cart for the 31s

Excellent question! I'll admit as a collector I'm guilty of keeping some items i have in boxes and stored away. Just depends on what it is and how rare. Sometimes i'll buy two items just so i can have one stored and another to mess with or display.  I have two vf-31a kairos valks pre ordered but i want one to display in battroid and one in fighter. Or i may very well keep one locked away. It's nice to have the choice. it's not the case for everything though. I recently got my bandai hi metal r vf-2ss valk yesterday and couldn't wait to get it out the box (Carefully) and transform it (Also carefully) and now it sits in my detolf looking boss with all the sap parts on. Obviously I'll keep the box in it's shipper and mint because...collector.

The green/white versions head reminds me alot of the sv-51. Which is my all time favorite Valk. I find the Keith variant alot more interesting to look at however, in all modes. Plus the paint scheme is fantastic. Wish they had maybe reversed the colours for the subordinate Sv 262. Gold with navy blue detailing. Not to say the green looks bad, just not as eye catching. But better than some of the hero's 31 valks.

Good thing those horns can be removed. Though it will leave an empty hole but atleast no more horns.

Haha true!

Before physical merchandise and close-up shots of the 31s came out, I had hoped that the F would look something like the Aaliyah from Armored Core 4.

I was disappointed when the F turned out to have a more... bug-like face, with two distinct eyes instead of a visor. And yeah, that horn. It's a blight on the YF-29, too; get rid of it, and they both have at least passable head designs.

That's a really cool design. Wish they had gone with that one. True, I have the isamu version on route but the head laser/spike can be swiveled back which looks better.

The 31F is the most sane of the five hero Valks.  Just a lot of Black and White really.  That might be an okay substitute an for a 31A, plus you can justify it because it has a different head unit ad the wings are forward swept so it's not just the same Valk purchased two or three times.

Your right there. The grey white and black does look the best out of the bunch i think.  It's the 31f head that actually lets it down for me. That stupid forward facing horn kind of looks out of place. I think the 31s head looks the best. Swap that with the 31f and yeah I'd probably go for one. The Kairos just looks stunning, probably why i was happy to grab two! Same with the sv262. Just need the lil draken set to finish it off. That set's parts can be utilized pretty well split between the two sv's.

Just so long as it's not Bandai who designs it.. their "Focker" YF-29 was probably the dumbest repaint I've seen in a very long time (outside of anniversary schemes).  White tampo on white plastic? Really? 

Agreed, it's very crazy looking. I would have preferred a more traditional paint scheme like of the vf-0s and vf-1s.
