yeah, it does have the cleaner look.  I might skip the 40th anniv since I already hav ther RE:package.

Yeah. Too bad I didn't bought the Re:Package before so this is just my only option.

@no3Ljm normally I would agree with you, but I would like Bandait to make all Armored Parts on the Blu-Ray cover and also make Super Parts for Arad and Chuck. 

Hey @Saburo. As much as I would like to get color coordinated Armored Packs for each Siegfried’s, I can’t bring myself on getting each esp for the price tag that goes with it. I’ll probably just get Arad’s this time even though I don’t like the orange color that comes with it. 

For some reasons, I kind of prefer the Re:Package version (left sample) for having less markings compared to the upcoming 40th Anniv version.

I really need to calm down about getting more Figures this year, I already have a bunch of expensive PO waiting to be paid in the near future, but then Bandai shows this:

Soul of Chogokin Getter Emperor 24840 Yen , 7 / 29 Release date

Hey Guys, I found this site with VF-1J, but have not used them before. It seems fishy as they have 2 version of the VF-1J on their site. One for 149, and another for 249.

Can someone tell me if this site is legit? I came late to the game, so it was either Nin-Nin or pay extra through Amazon Japan. But these sites looked too good to pass up on. Thanks.

Here’s a review of jpfigures

Could not find a ton of info on them but the above is not promising.

Well it's no surprise but CDJapan just informed me the book has been pushed back a month.

Just want to confirm. Is it the VF-11 that got pushed back next month?

If so, then I'll not going to wait for it in my PW.  

Nice, Spanner!

There's actually 5 31As in that shot; look above the other set of catapults.

Nope. Those are Super Pack equipped VF-31A's. Notice the grey boosters on top of the wing section?

That is neat, sh9000.

Btw, what's the one on the left? Also, any chance you have a F-16?

Everybody misses the third A taking up behind Chuck on the left there.

So Low-Vis, it blends too much on the background.

I haven’t seen the movies and I can’t find anything on google. Does anyone have a screen shot of the vf-31a in fighter mode with armor parts from the movie?

The 2 small ones on the right. AFAIK, these are the only time that the VF-31A featured in Armored Packs. There were no close-up of it like Arad's and Chuck's. No Battroid mode featured either.

Wow! Y17280 for the Armored Parts?  August 2019 TWE release. Oh well, I still need to get one.

And they all using the same armor? Same color and everything? So i can buy this armor, and stick it on my Hayate's 31J? I'm hoping that i dont have to buy another siegfried

Ah, darn it. That mean i have to buy Arad's siegfried. Thanks for checking that up for me. 

Let's just hope Bandai will not release the rest of the color coordinated Armored Packs based on the Walkure Blu-Ray cover which were not featured in the movie. 

@Corrinald is selling his for $280. Better grab it now.

Does anyone here ever try to use the model kit weapon with their DX chogokin? I just bought Alto's armored messiah, and it comes with sniper rifle. So i thought of giving it to my DX chogokin. 

You can try. However, the model kit scale is 1/72 so expect the Sniper Rifle to be a little bit smaller for the DX size.

Wow! $280 for DX VF-1J shipped?! That's a great price. Good luck on the sale. 

Nice! Bandai made Kawamori proud again. Looking forward to see the Stamen.

What do people think we can expect for actual price? I think most of the ride armors were offered by the usual suspects at preorder time for around 10-15% less than the MSRP.

Are you asking about the actual price or the store's discounted price?

Based on what's been shown on the WonderFest product info tag, the Legioss will cost Y25000. So 10% off of that is Y22500. 15% off is Y21250.

Hmmm. I thought it's going to be a little bit taller. But from Hacchaka's post it looks it has the same height.

Looking forward to this one. HLJ just charged my CC for it.

I am officially worried for my Space Leo. It's been in PHLPost purgatory hell for almost a week. It's not even the Christmas season why can they be so slow...

Sorry to hear that, sir. Since it's PHLpost, one word pops in my head. They need 'lagay'.
