Ok, here's my take since nobody mentioned this. Ok, I think it looks like they're going to release a new set of Classic Super Deformed Ostrich... Looks like I'm right! After the SD Ostrich they will release a SD Super Valkyrie and SD Armored Valkyrie. Cool! Hahaha! Kidding aside, it would look perfect if they will make new pilot figures along with it.

Nice. Now it's confirmed that it has that hinge thing like the Frontier Super Packs. But now looking at it, it made my theory right. That it may look like awkward to do like this since its missle pod is thinner than the regular ones.

Chibi SDF-1. Looking forward to see the finished product. *Giggles* I remember seeing this back in the early 80's while watching Macross.

You're welcome. Looking forward to everyone's post next week. Mine will be here most probably towards the end of August. Didn't choose EMS to save some $$.

I can't remember much since I'm on Chapter 5. What I remember was after you visited those 3 bases there will be a battle between you and a big monster. Not sure if it's Vajra related. Make sure before you dashed out after the third town/base, you're well equipped with ammo. Hope that helps.

Not sure if it's on the 9th or 11th. Edit: Ok, so I just checked some of the online shops. NY says 11th. Amiami says late Aug.

Cool. Browsing the site now. Hope they put the measurement details so I can check the sizes if it's compatible to display with our 1/60 Valks. Thanks ChaoticYeti for the link.

You're welcome. Glad to be of help to fellow MWers.

Got mine too. When they say 'preparation in progress', does that mean they already have the items on hand? I also realized and kinda confirmed thru my other orders that NY doesn't follow the standard or correct shipping cost based on the weight chart? No matter if it has the same weight as the other DX figures as long that the specific item is more expensive and marked up, the more the shipping cost will be. I'm sure a boxed Chronos has the same weight as the boxed Messiah, right?

Or you could just buy a thin styrene sheets and create your own removable (insert your color here) goggles. If I see the necessity of this, I will make one for myself.

Nice F-22. Is this already built? This would look great if it comes with a 1/60 counterpart to go and display beside YF-21 and YF-30.

This one looks badass. Now I'm thinking if I will get a Tornado Parts. Hehehe.

For members who keeps on looking for Ozma's Super Parts as an alternative for Armored Parts: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=DX+super+parts&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XDX+VF-25S+super+parts&_nkw=DX+VF-25S+super+parts&_sacat=0 Hope that helps.

Kudos as well. I believe HLJ kinda stopping the trend that people do everywhere esp scalpers that buying multiples and sell it above the MSRP price. I mean look at some of the major auction site in Japan. The 25S is just opened for PO recently and a lot of people already put it there for auction with marked-up prices. So putting 1 unit per buyer really helps a lot even though HLJ has mistake on not putting the 1 unit limit notice on the item page.

Looks like nobody bought it so it got relisted. True. Didn't expect it either that it will shoot up to that price. Y120,000 for a Buy Out price? It's way cheaper to customize a V1 or a V2/Renewal VF-25F Super Packs.

What's the correct configuration on the 25G/A head lasers? Should be put inside the cannon covers or point the head lasers forward? Some of the promo pics I see it's hidden under the cannon cover. Some photos taken from display/showroom it shows the head laser pointing forward.

Hahaha! And they're not even 'friendlies' anymore.

By the way, The Old Man, were these taken by a smartphone camera? iPhone? If so, I think it looks good.

Cool! Thanks!

Whew. No complaints from me. I'm just glad that I scored one even with that Y4000 markup from NY's second PO. I also ignored the markup too on the shipping cost that's why I just choose the Registered SAL. That's atleast $20 savings from EMS. As long that it has the tracking and insurance, I can wait. Because at the end of the day I still know that I got this cheaper than the ones posted on all online shops, whether auction or direct sales, months before for $400 and above. And since I'm a late-comer on this DX VF-25 Renewal stuff, I'm just glad I purchased one (fresh from the press) at MSRP price range. Me too. I'm still hoping to get another one for less than what NY's offering now from the other stores. But if the other stores try to markup during the second wave like NY, I'll think about it whether to get another one or not.

Great photos, The Old Man. Esp that close-up of VF-171 Nightmare. In an instant I totally forgot all the negative remarks that I've read about it. And great shots as always, Saburo. Not a big fan of the VT-1. But I am now. Love those YF-19 shots, VF-18S Hornet. Keep it coming. Love that radiant effect on the YF-25, ChaoticYeti. Cool.

And if Chronos gets expensive after the initial release, you will pray that they restock, reissue... or better yet pray for a renewal that doesn't need a back-bracket-clip.

Nice. You already sent the revised ones? That was fast. Looking forward to the next update. Btw, does this comes with a instruction manual esp on the nuts and bolts you mentioned earlier? Thanks.

@Saburo How about VF-25S base figure with VF-25F Armored Pack with VF-25F Tornado Cannon with VF-25G Sniper Rifle surrounded by RVF-25 Ghosts? Do you think that's too much overkill? Hahaha!

Chronos. Should've made this thread a poll so it's better to see what the majority says.
