It's 11 AM Japan time, so that would be October 3 at 9pm if you're in US central time. Amiami's been putting the PO for their English site the following morning for the last PO or two, possible to avoid overloading their servers. -
Yeah I noticed the new wing markings, but they appear to be the only new ones. Unlikely but hoping they'll add more. (More aircraft markings, that is. No more large obnoxious emblems please, Bandai.)

Been busy this past week and been using what leisure time I've had at home to play on my PS5 rather than Bandai's toys of questionable quality. Haven't done much beyond taking it out and whooshing it around a few times. As mentioned already the right intake cover is bigger than the intake opening on mine and will need to be shaved down in order to fit. Gunpod is warped, just like the WWM VF-25. Lots of little areas where the paint is chipped or rubbed off, which is something that has plague Bandai's stuff since time immemorial. It does look great though, with the matte finish and blue and white livery. I mean, aside from the landing gear. I do like that they increased the tampo on it to bring it more on par with the other Delta valks. (Wish they had done the same for the upcoming VF-25F. You know, something to justify the price hike on what is essentially a straight reissue,.) I'm dreading transforming it to battroid and back to fighter, something that was already a bit of a hassle on the 29 without Bandai's recent QC problems.

Yes
-
MSRP in 2022 is significantly higher than it was in 2012. Fortunately the yen is at its weakest in decades.
-
This is just a repaint of the WWM 25F so I expect it'll have whatever improvements and RNG flaws that release had. Which is to say I won't be tossing my original release 25F. Bandai QC been pretty cruddy as of late.
-
If they were going to add more detail markings, I wish they had gone all in and put it on par with Max's 29, which looks great. Just don't try to handle it.
-
My Alto's already detailed up, but I wouldn't mind getting another set of supers in matte finish. I had a feeling they might go back and revisit past Frontier releases after the Alto 29 update-reissue.
-
Just opened mine and already trouble brewing. First thing I tried to do was put the intake covers on. Left intake cover is fine but the right cover is slightly too large and won't fit in the intake space. Great job, Bandai.
-
Mine arrived today too but won't have time to mess with it till tomorrow. Sucks to hear about the QC issues. Alto's 29 was also a pandemic release but doesn't suffer from all those problems. Bandai really slipping.

25k on Mandarake if anyone needs one. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1207737335&ref=list&keyword=マクロス

Hey, it's not my fault that these toys are so poorly built that they fall apart just because all the screws were removed.
-
I always found getting the arms and shoulder pauldrons all tucked away into fighter without scratching anyway to be the annoying part of the YF-29 transformation. Overall, I find the VF-25 to be a step forward from the YF-29 (which came first).

Buy a 200 yen Gundam marker as your second item so you can get the 10% coupon.
-
Ship 1 item, get a 5% discount coupon. 10% coupon if you ship 2 or more items. Coupon food for anything, even preorders. It was in my email. Promotion good until midnight Japan time.... so a little over an hour from now.

Bought and shipped just in time to get the HLJ promotion. $161 at the current exchange rate.

I can't remember, but does p-bandai USA require paymont upfront? Had some surprise medical bills this month so I can't go too nuts on spending for a few weeks at least.
-
324 USD from domestic p-bandai, which is 46500 yen. F U Bandai. No deal.
-
Bandai can't even supply enough units for a damn web exclusive. F U Bandai.
-
With the current weak yen, you'll be better off picking it up at a slight markup from Mandarake than buying from Amazon and having to wait until February.
-
Nope, no extras in the box. Just the gunpod and whatever tags were attached. Mine's already taken a little "battle damage" thanks to my youngest cat, so now it's sitting on the highest shelf in my closet.
-
Nice. I've wanted that MC Zero but not enough to pay the stupid secondary market prices for it. Glad Bandai is doing a reissue of this rather than another damn Exia.
-
1/48+fp's, 1/60+fp's, 1/72, 1/2k, 1/3k,1/100 and now 1/144

Maverick's skills are god-like to be able to take these guys on in an F-14.

Yes, I used some ill-gotten store credit for my gunpod. The proxy I used couldn't get ahold of the VF-1D last year and jerked me around about it, so I got my money back via CC dispute. They must not have noticed, because they later issued me a store credit for the cost of the 1D, which I used for the gunpod. In total I paid $29 for shipping on the gunpod. It's a nice, soft velvety material. I'm keeping mine in its plastic bag for the time being, as I'm not sure if either of my cats will attempt to destroy it.
