Define "fairly reasonable" in terms of armor pack, please?

USD115.80

Well it was never reasonable anyway. You wouldn't expect to find them for less than $150, when someone in Japan who ordered directly from the Tamashii shop paid $100!

If what you say is true, I think USD115 is fairly reasonable ;)

That's reasonable because you could have been looking for this instead

Yes, but that's off topic here. Axelay asked for the VF-25 armor pack.

Still on topic you could've mentioned this: http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/2455-macross-f-dx-chogokin-vf-25f-messiah-valkyrie-saotome-alto-custom-renewal-version-.html, but that wasn't the question either.

As man that sucks, u need to contact them ASAP. Never shopped at nippon-yasan are they reputable?

Ordered my VF-25F renewal super parts from them and everything went smoothly.

Guys 1 week ago I paid for a renewal version of ozma at Nippon-yasan for 260 euros, what i got is the OLD ARMORED VF-25S!!!! Anyone else got this issue?

Link to website? What were you expecting? A bundled pack?

In case anyone's still looking for Alto

Man that Alto was tempting, but it says the box is damaged, and they want $314 bucks for it. I'll hold out for it. My Macross spending limit is 250 bucks :-/ At least that's what my wife tells me ;-)

ouch 25000 yen too much for my blood, what do they mean by unused yet resealed?

Maybe they used it for display purposes at the store? Or maybe the box was damaged so they opened it to check to make sure it was ok then resealed it. Either way it's way too pricey for me. Boy am I mad at Bandai, they have these great items, yet they only make 5,000 of them, so your left to buy it on eBay for 3x the price. I get they don't want shelf warmers, but the demand is high! Release a few more and do your fans right and give us an option to order one before all the scalpers do. /end rant

Oh unused and resealed means that the set has been previously opened for QC check and then resealed.

This is very common for japan as every batch of figures usually has 1 or 2 opened to check for any defects before delivery!

I was soooooo careful when putting on the Super packs onto my VF-25F and S... took ages to get them both on but it was worth it, the paint remains untouched, though the stress of taking the super parts off of the 25S and sticking on the armour pack when it arrives is gonna be huge.

That's the best price I've seen on those lately, but still grossly over-priced to me; I'll take a chance on Bandai eventually doing a re-issue for the renewal 25S, probably some time after they release a G and RVF versions... I just hope that when/if it happens I will be able to snag a pre-order in time, as experience with the new Frontier DXs proves that if you snooze, you lose.

Seriously, what the crap is up with them? Do they actually want to create a shortage of their own products, just to drive up demand so they can release more later and sell out?

I guess.. fortunately, I'm not all that concerned if I get a YF-29 or not. It'd be nice to have, but it would probably never leave fighter mode anyway, and I can live with the 1/100 kits I've got for that.

I mean.. I love what they've done with the VF-25 renewal, but actually transforming them just isn't fun for me. I actually do enjoy transforming my Yamatos every once in a while, but with Bandai's stuff, I'm constantly paranoid that I'm going to break something, or scratch off paint, or whatever else can go wrong. Might be due to the more complicated transformation with the VF-25, but the way all the parts hang off each other going to battroid just feels like it's asking to break apart.
