Twoducks Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 And again the picture looks dark pink to me like the Brera VF-27 ... Was that pic scanned wrong? I was finally seeing the YF-29 red-ish lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twich Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Is it just me, or does the shield on this toy look really thick and also that it might open? I wonder if there is going to be some gimmick that the shield is hiding....it looks like Bandai might be trying to pull out all the stops with this one, I just wish it didnt cost so much...

UN Spacy Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Preorders for the DX YF-29 are officially closed at AmiAmi, HLJ, and HobbySearch. Good luck finding it for any cheaper before the restock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Yeah, I was just thinking about pre-ordering one too. There will be more right?? I remember the 25's seemed like they didn't get more releases once they were sold out. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsain Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Sigh, I feel like I missed out, but that 15% is insignificant next to the ability to justify buying this anyway. Maybe someday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s001 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Not a big fan of the back mounted canyons. An addaptation of the Tornado pack would be better. Perhaps in a different color scheme. I'm also wondering why Kawamori-san decided to leave the anti-glare section (in front of the canopy) of the nose white? it looks a little plain.

valhary Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 many but in the most the preorder closed but not reason to worry I have the feeling that we will find it in mass production the thing that surprise me is the people faith in this toy with only a few poor images especially after the design failure of the vf 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sh002 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 hlj and amiami are sold out. where's another good place? any help? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 hlj and amiami are sold out. where's another good place? any help? thanks. Those are the only places I order from, but if there's another trustworthy place, that may be good as a backup. I'm really starting to like amiami, even though they are sold out of this toy, it's very possible that they'll restock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UN Spacy Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Anime Export? http://www.anime-export.com/product/7007 I've purchased two items from them back in 2009 (a Bandai DX VF-25F and Megahouse Sheryl Nome). Based off of my two purchases I'd say their service was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOW_ALT Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 ugh, why must it be pink/white? I hope they make a cannon fodder color scheme like the VF-1 mass production type or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may need to check your monitor's color settings. It's red/white. While I haven't seen the movie, I do hope they make a CF version as well, like a grey color or something. However, before I bite on getting more of these, I'm gonna thoroughly check the quality of this first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOW_ALT Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I'm sure my monitor is fine, I'm a marketing manager/graphic artist by trade All I know is that when I compare it to the Macross kite at the top left of these forums, the VF-29 looks a little off when it comes to what's truly red. Even if it was blood red and white I still would have to paint it. I'm always biased to the more realistic paint schemes like the Moon Shooters VF-22 in my avatar. But I'm with you on seeing about the quality of this one first. I had the movie version Alto custom and it was disappointing. The head wouldn't even stay up in batt mode.

In the first few magazine scans the prototype was orange but the most recent scans are all a fairly dark and deep red. pink 1 (pngk) n. 1. Any of a group of colors reddish in hue, of medium to high lightness, and of low to moderate saturation. I would say neither of the last two parts of the definition apply.

Strangely enough I happened upon this version on amazon japan just now, albeit having nothing to do with the movie It was just mixed in with the rest of the photos in this listing.
