DX VF-171EX from Macross Frontier

[...] It says 'slide the bottom lock to pull out the hand/wrist. You can switch between 4 different hands. There is also extra joint on the root of hand joints' [...]

I'm sorry, I might be missing something (obviously I can't read kanji). This quote seems just to indicate how to remove/switch hands, not that they can stay attached in fighter mode. Someone clarify?

I guess that can be understood that way too :wacko:

Heh. I don't understand all these weird politics and emotion behind a pretty straightforward question. All I'd like to know is whether it says one way or another about the hands before I spend $200+ on a toy. I guess the answer is still "don't know." Either way I'm not losing any sleep over it.

No weird politics involved regarding your question, it's just that we're a bunch of trigger happy fans waiting to hit the panic button :lol:

No matter what we're talking about, there's a high chance it will get blown out of proportion!!!

Is that 5040 Yen that I see? Ouch!

I love the overloaded with ordnance look of the 171's super pack, arm missile pallet included... it's just has such a cool overkill vibe to it without it looking overdone like the YF-29's or the 25's Tornado packs.

OK when are THESE parts coming out? This is totallly how i rememer teh 171 from the show....all armored up with anti vajra gear or whatever. WANT WANT WANT. assuming tamashi web exclusive again?

I say we start debating whether or not the armour parts are exclusives, in spite of it actually saying they are, in the article. You know, because that's the MW way.

I agree. Let's start with whether or not this scan is from a reliable source. ...I'M KIDDING! (maybe) :)

Well, since Nippon Yasan didn't stop taking orders this late in the game, I'm assuming their either really confident in getting a large stock (haven't heard them failing to deliver yet, even with the YF-29), already have confirmed large stocks, or didn't get to many orders when they had such an inflated price.

Either way, at a steady $200 as compared to the $260+ that others here paid, I decided to go ahead and pre order and paid up front. Hopefully I get it, but if not, meh :)

This will be my first modern Bandai (after -27), so I'm excited to see how it turns out, especially with the new designer!

In all fairness that has to do with the design of the FP themselves. The VF-17 one is 15 years old and wasn't meant to be what the VF-171 FP is which takes more cues from the VF-25 as per the show.

Somehow, I read that as "anti Viagra gear" LOL! :p

Isn't that what buying all these toys are, in the first place? I mean, it does take the other half out of the moment at least.
