VF5SS Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Bandai may just issue a new codpiece to buyers like how they issued entire White Dingo GM Sniper 2s because of joint problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Still no news about shipment of my VF-25F super parts. I guess a lot of companies may ship them out late because of the Golden Week holiday. Never a huge fan of the VF-25G, so not going to play the preorder game. If I see one in a shop for a reasonable price (ha ha ha), I may pick one up. If not, no big loss.

Reïvaj Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I am so confused as to why they didn't paint the crotch piece like in the promo shots. Which promo shots? The crotch pice looks just the same IMO...

Swoosh Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I'm unfamiliar with the -25 super pack design. When transforming to fighter mode, where does the new crotch armor go?

Swoosh Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) how does the missile packs on the shoulders connect? It comes with a new panel that has swing arms and missile pack already attached. Side skirt, should panel and crotch needs to be swap with the new part with armor. Edited May 1, 2012 by Swoosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Easy to attach, all stay on good except the armor that cover the intake, it pops off easily during transforming or posing it. Ok, honestly. You'd think they'd be able to figure this one out by their THIRD try at making the intake armor. The updated armor that came with the blue Alto wasn't that bad, I thought it actually stayed on decently compared with the first version. I guess the question is, is this better or worse than the fixes they applied to the later v.1 super pack hip armor? Also, I'm curious, does the hip armor snap on over the intake covers, or do you need to remove those to attach the armor? That might be part of why they fall off easily, because while my Alto's covers stay in well, Ozma's fall out if you look at them sideways.

Save Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Anybody received any payment request or shipping notification for the Super Parts yet? Haha, it's been so long since I pre-ordered, I forgot which company I ordered from. Gotta dig through my email.
