SuperHobo Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 By looking at this prototype picture the antennas on the head look a lot closer to the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Nice catch SuperHobo. I wonder what that cross shape in the arm is going to be used for... Fast Pack attachment point maybe? An earlier pic of the back of the shield detached from the arm shows it has a cross shape peg on the back for attaching to the arm. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impreszive Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Graham posted scans from Great Mechanics article on the VF-25. I wonder if the HUGE skull squadron emblem will be on the DX version. What do you guys think? Don't know...but it is going on the roof of my Impreza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFTF1 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 That Pinneapple salad got me thinking. If only the Mafia had a great appreciation of Macross. In the Godfather, all we got was that stinking fish in paper. Wouldn't it be cool if, for example, somebody walked into a restaurant and ordered steak or something - and the waitress ominously brought him...Pinneapple salad and said "with complements from the gentlemen at table eleven." As for the prototype pics... yay - another one. But I would like to finally have something painted to look at. VFTF1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crasis Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 (edited) hlj preorders early birds 106,72 dollars ; 67,81 euros vf-25f alto version vf-25s ozma version Thanks for the heads-up!!! PREORDERED without hesitation! I've wanted these babies since I saw the Deculture Edition of episode 1 back in December. I'm surprised they are coming out so soon, actually. November, huh? I expected them in 2009. ...wait, these are the DX ones, right? Not the model kits? There's no indication in the listing, but I pulled the trigger anyway. Hrrm.

do not disturb Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 woah, is it $100+ for a kit? or an actual toy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awacs Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I have to admit I am very tempted to preorder one of these - probably not the Alto as I prefer Ozma's colour palette. The newer prototypes look like great strides have been made. It could be an expensive back half of the year at this rate. Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp Durron Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Well, it would have to be one expensive model kit for it to be that much. I pre-ordered the VF-25S. I'm a sucker for the Focker scheme, lol. -Kyp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriku Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Wow...for once BBTS is actually a little cheaper than HLJ+EMS. HLJ = ~107 + ~40EMS......~147 BBTS = 129 + ~10 UPS....~139 I wonder if BBTS will up their price to remedy that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sh002 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 hlj does have a good price but i ordered both vf-25's from bbts so shipping will be way less to ship two valkyries from bbts than hlj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkReaper Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Product Overview: This item is an action toy, with some die-cast metal parts, of a science fiction/anime character or item. It does not require either cement or paint to complete or use. it's the toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sh002 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 actually after looking through hlj's website, i think hlj will come out cheaper or the same as bbts if you buy both vf-25's. it states that the total for shipping for more than 1 item will be 20-40% less than the combined shipping. plus everytime i pay with yen through paypal, it is always a little cheaper. i think i'm going to cancel my bbts preorder and go with hlj for now for these.

Can i join you guys? My early bird trigger finger itched but i'm getting smarter. Especially wait for the order with Kevin, but now i think about it i will wait for a 2nd issue or with FP's/Full Armour. Swoosh are you familiar with the Eva-01 SPEC hip issue?

eriku Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Swoosh are you familiar with the Eva-01 SPEC hip issue? Bandai is not infallible. That was a problem, but that's just one in a L O N G line of toys that are, for the most part, perfect upon launch. Hardly comparable to Yamato's track record. One of the main reasons Bandai's high-end toys are so beloved is because they can be counted on for extremely high quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UN Spacy Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Has it even been confirmed if these will come with the Fast Packs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Dex Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 (edited) Has it even been confirmed if these will come with the Fast Packs? We've seen prototypes for the super parts, but nothing on armor parts though. However it is practically a guarantee they will make armor sets for both since Alto used an armor set in ep. 14 (this doesn't need spoiler tags as it was known since the ep.14 preview attached to ep.13).
