    Well about the VF25 boosters, I personally want it to be a seperate structure, which the booster engine and missle pod could be  divided.

    Therefore we could have more weapon choices such as those on the masterfile. 

    I was referring to the boosters not split vertically in half like the TREX parts but sounds like an even better plan to allow more customization.  

    Decals for the boosters are a pain because it's mostly white markings so it's hard to print a set for yourself.

    I miss the member's ranking badges though. No more accidental 'Galactic Diva' replies from new members. :db:

    Hahaha! Maybe that's why now it has Rank: Title (x/15)  when you hover on the badge now.

    Now it's gonna be thanks "Members".

    At least it shows how much more till the next rank now.

    Too many, and yet, at the same time never enough.

    I'm more curious about the nippers. "TT43" doesn't give any google results, but "TT42" is their photo-etch nippers, which appear to be the same thing. Perhaps Hasegawa are just rebranding TT42 as a high end plastic nipper? The blades certainly seem much thinner than normal nippers...

    The blades edge on the TT42 looks to only go 1/2 the length while the TT43 goes about 4/5 the length. Also the TT43 looks flatter while the TT42 has a slight bend. TT42 for use on brass etching and TT43 not for use on hard or acrylic parts larger than 2mm.

    So, something a little weird is going on with the Delta 06 pic.  I think the wing boosters have definitely been tweaked a little, since I don't remember those little fins poking out near the rear, but the overall design still looks almost identical.

    The thing that I noticed most is that the boosters on that 06 pic are angled down, as if they have folded down halfway between the wingtips and the main wing.  The existing booster mount on the 31 series can't do that, since the booster locks down to the base of the tail once folded over.

    All that aside, I'm absolutely stoked for the idea that we'll be getting a bunch of 31A derivatives for the next movie, and possibly an excuse for Bandai to actually make more of the best version of the 31, on top of what looks like a new variant of the mission pack.  ^_^ 

    Seems like the boosters are mounted to the VF-31As like the LIl Drakkens style in fighter.

    Anyone notice that it looks like mirage is using the gun pod from her custom SV-262Ba from the last movie? And she is in a VF-31A variant.

    I think that gunpod is a new type for that pod setup.  The other ones have it and 06 has it mounted on the left.

    Didn't expect the boosters to mount like that.

    I think everyone's VF-31As getting the Itasha treatment. Chuck's one has it along with 06. Couldn't see Mirage's one though.

    vf-31 facelift versions for the new movie?   Lol looks like a 31A head in yellow? But with a radar bump on the side? ...thanks to @enphily and @twich for mentioning the A...

    Probably a replacement for Chuck's VF-31E since it looks like it took a hit (Plus it had lil Drakkens).  Maybe he'll get Ghosts which is what that other one looked like. before that shot. They're all VF-31A variants is my guess.

    I've been eyeing some nice kits that seem to be only available during the wonder festival events in the coming year. I've done some googling around the area of buying through the likes of an individual over there, but for previous years. I've yet to find a proxy for the upcoming events.

    Has anyone got any idea how to purchase items from these events through a proxy of some sorts? Unlikely I'll be there in person so it seems like the only solution is finding a buyer in over there. Has anyone done this in here before?

    In the past I tried using a personal shopping service. You'd have to pay their fee, travel expenses, and entrance fees (if any). If it's a limited qty item they might not be able to get it,  especially if there are multiple items since they'd have to scramble, but you will still have to pay those fees.  I ended up just looking on YJA and eating the cost.
