Looks like we're all back to being (pre vf-171 cf) crazy.
-
It's been 'Waiting' ever since I placed the order.
-
They're additional parts that can need to be detached before transforming.

It's a 2-piece adapter that slots into the plane. It's a real pain to get the gunpod locked into place when the plane is on the stand though. It keeps popping off so I tend to leave it lying on the stand instead of being attached to the plane. It's a lot like the fold booster attachment for the YF-19/22.

This toy looks really good in person. I was worried the green would look horrible like Ang Lee's Hulk but it's a really nice shade of green.
-
Received my unit this morning. I'll have to take a closer look at the toy after I get some work done. Please excuse the camera flash. My camera is old and my room is kinda dim.
-
I have a feeling Otacute will not deliver.
-
HLJ will probably be billing us tonight.
-
Already up for preorder at NY. http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/5368-macross-f-super-parts-set-for-dx-chogokin-vf-25g-messiah-valkyrie-michel-blanc-custom-renewal-ver-limited-edition.html

The super parts & ghost bundle is already up for preorder at NY and AE. http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/5369-macross-f-super-parts-ghost-set-for-macross-f-dx-chogokin-rvf-25-messiah-valkyrie-luca-custom-renewal-ver-limited-edition.html

Is it me or does HLJ always have a sale when a new DX is about to be released? Guess we'll have to wait an extra 3 days for our RVF-25 to be shipped then.
-
It's a webshop release so it'll be available for purchase up to a month or two via proxies or NY/AE.
-
I don't think its fair to gauge the popularity of the vf-27 based on the vf-171 cf and the rvf-25. The VF-25F reissue in July would be a much better indicator.
-
Unlikely to happen unless they reissue the renewals a few months down the road like the yf-29 30th anniversary.
-
Makes you wonder if those units that both amiami and hobby search sold weeks after the initial release were actually returned products.
-
Mehh looks like I won't be getting mine this week. They sent the item out yesterday but it just reached customs today.
-
Mine has been shipped so I hope I get it by this week. Looks like NY has the super parts for sale: http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/4020-macross-f-super-parts-set-for-dx-chogokin-yf-29-durandal-valkyrie-30th-anniversary-color-limited-edition.html Credits to KH355hamdi for the heads up.
-
Same here. Received an e-mail 25 minutes ago. Can't wait to get my greasy paws on them.
-
NY has lowered the price to 14,500 yen. Might be a good time to get additional units. The rest of you who bought one at the earlier, inflated price might want to start crying. I wonder if the same will happen to the RVF-25.
-
Back up at Hobby-search for 12,600 yen and it's limited to 3 per customer.
-
No updates from NY yet. I thought they'd send it out on Friday but I guess Bandai really did release the item on Saturday.
-
I tried transforming mine today and I never knew I could cause that much damage to a toy in a single attempt. Almost looks like Edward Scissorhands tried to play with it.
-
Any photos of the super parts yet? It should be out today.
-
Yikes. That's around the time my company shifts to a new office.

How does Hasegawa get such cool variants vs Arcadia/Yamato/Bandai?
neoexcaliber replied to Lupin The Third's topic in Toys
Since someone mentioned that the only reason Yamato couldn't do a VF-4G Hikaru was because the battroid/gerwalk mode was never shown in the original cartoon, could it mean that the licensing cost is different for a model kit in a single, fixed configuration versus a toy that can swap between 3 modes? Plus, Hasegawa produces a lot of variants that are not based on the original franchise/TV series. I would assume that it's cheaper to obtain a license if the source is less popular.
