The affordability factor aside, I just wouldn't be able to accommodate their larger size in my existing display cabinets.. especially if they are 27cm tall which is the maximum shelf spacing with the Klingsbo cabinets.. 

That's not a problem, Spanner. Dispose your car collections, now you can display it in that vacant cabinet in Fighter or Gerwalk mode. 

Right?

tempting, tempting, I've still got my old Yamato 1/48 VF-1J. 

I noticed in the pics the hands seem like more DYRL style mechanical hands, rather than the TV hands, despite, this being a TV release? I can see hard points on the wings for missiles, ect, so wondering will come with a full armament payload or is that "sold separately" I wonder. If was separate, I hope it included GBP armour

 

Awesome! Can't wait to see the finished product. Life-size, right? Wow!

nice! good news

Well, I hope it is what I understand, David. But please don't quote me on that. Hehehe.

Anyways, this is what I've read in their site: https://tamashii.jp/special/tamashii_nation/attention.php#notice_link02

That VF-1 kneeling pose looks rough, if only Bandai had gone extra mile with some type of wider knee bend.

I am giving Arcadia another six months before they completely pull out from releasing VF-1s. Bandai's feature engineering and price point is the death knell for them.

Wait. You're still not happy with what Bandai have shown for a Y19000 toy? Expectations doesn't end, eh?

What online stores are you guys hitting up for PO?  HLJ, AmiAmi, Nippon-Yasan, etc?

Which store really doesn't matter. What matters is that if you secured one during the madness.

I'm guessing the Armored Pack will come out first, before Chuck's 31?

It's more like VF-31S Armored Pack first, VF-31A Armored Pack second, other VF-31's Armored Pack and VF-31S' and VF-31A's Super Packs in-between. And then years later after the next Macross series is ended, they will announce Chuck's VF-31E as a Tamashii Web Exclusive release bundled with its Armored Pack.

After the announcement of Bandai DX VF-1j 1/48 I want to assume Arcadia have to answer somehow

"We regret nothing."

From Twitter Feed:

Would it be nice if it comes with a small Mikumo figure like this:

Well sh!t, I'm definitely down to get a MB Strike Freedom. Hopefully they won't be too difficult to get. I sold my original awhile ago and I've been kicking myself ever since.

-b.

Based on what I've understand from their announcement, after the said event they will put it on sale thru their Premium Webshop. So there's still hope, B. I'm planning on getting one to replace my KO.

Nothing from SDCC?

 

Not sure I if saw this posted here, so if not: Custom 1:12 Rey figure -

 

Man that is so awesome! I'm jealous of not having a talent like that. So awesome looking.

Is there someone who knows what this image means ?, and old Bandai 1/55 re-release or just a reminder what used to be back in the day ?, I don't know Japanese language

I’m pretty sure it’s just a history telling from the old Takatoku DX to current DX announcement. Nothing reissues announcement. 

In spite of everyone’s comments, whether they like it or not, I have a feeling everyone here and I mean everyone will end up getting one. I’m sure of that. That Y19000+ MSRP price is already a bargain compared to what everyone is buying nowadays. Another VF-1J in another scale wouldn’t hurt your collections and wallets.

Better scan of the VF-31S full armor

As wow as it looks, wish the missile pods on the boosters have ratchet joints. If not, I wish that and the rail cannon can also be removable. It felt that those two are kind of too much for me. So hope there’s an option for those to have it get removed.

What was your order number and when did you order?

Ordered on the 10th of Oct. At this point we’ve concluded from what been posted that they’re shipping it randomly and customers who only have one order. 

Randomly because at the same time I got a preparation in progress email there’s one or two members here who has an order date ahead of me got a preparation email as well. Sorry can’t keep track on who’s who. And there’s still members ahead of me only received replies from their ticket inquiries. 

Also anyone who have multiple orders has been pushed back based on one of the replies member here received. And it wouldn’t hurt to always asked nicely for any updates from them.

A test of patience indeed.

Just landed. Having waited 2 months or whatever it was for the Kairos, feels weird to receive that one in a few days .

It'll be the first 31 I'll be transforming....(not by choice, display space is running out with everything in Fighter mode...)

*snip*

Just imagine how many more will you fit if you transformed everything in Battroid mode?

High Resolution Astray Red Frame looks awesome.

Seeing the Armored Pack prototype pic, would that mean Bandai will release first the Armored Pack than the Super Pack for Arad's 31S?

Seeing that DX VF-1J, I now wish for Bandai to secure the rights for Macross The First. So they can milk the mold instantly for VF-1J MtF version.

And I was right. December release. Hehehe.

And wow, did they use a 1/60 or 1/72 scale pilot for a 1/48 scale bird? Hikaru is tiny compared to the cockpit.

You don't say. Looks at HMR figure.

Pfft that's soooo last March. 

J/k grats on finally getting your 31A!

Thanks Lolicon. Actually, it's my friend who's more excited coz I told him that I'm going to sell it to him once NY shipped it to me since I already have a copy from eBay prior.

27cm. Super nice.

Looks like everyone is ready for next week.

Yehey! Got a shipping confirmation from NY. See you soon, Kairos.
