Kanedas Bike Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Folks were probably also distracted trying to order this Metal Build; www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-005284&page=top But yeah, once the G and S get re-releases it's gonna be pandemonium. -b.

Sandman Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 The S for sure. I would like to get at least two. Preorder was open for 24 minutes. Longest time in awhile.

Mizicke5273 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Was able to grab one from CdJapan, though I had to create an account for yet another webstore. I really dislike having to have accounts at multiple places to order similar items. I like having one or two places and use them exclusively. Though, with this hobby, that is impossible apparently. Anyways, hopefully Amiami will get more or HLJ will get stock, as I want at least one more, if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skullmilitia Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 CDjapan registered SAL was 16$. I paid 156$ out the door from CDjapan, I'm good. Now to sell, or not to sell the G, since I only need one or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 What is sold out, the 25F's? I thought that one was supposed to be relatively easy to get, what with this being the third run. Is that not the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'Kyuun Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Carted one on AmiAmi, as well, but had to register, by which time they were already sold out. Just snagged one over at CDJapan. 5000 yen for EMS shipping. Ouch! But I didn't have to register; Paypal and done. I never heard of CDJapan, so I appreciate the heads up. Skullmilitia, I'd hang on to the G. It sells for higher value than the F, plus, IMO, it's the nicest looking of the VF-25 series, even moreso with Super Packs. Thus far, it's the only renewal 25 I own, and I love it. If I had to choose, the G would be a keeper.

Mommar Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) I was only asking because after the second release people were saying they could still find a few of them around various stores after the pre-orders were up. Sounds like the Tornado Packs might have whipped up some additional frenzy. Edited April 2, 2014 by Mommar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saburo Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Did the re-issue of the VF-25F go up on NY? I check their site an nothing listed, other than current stock. Edited April 2, 2014 by Saburo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joppewo Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 what is the scale of the lavevatein? how tall? anyone know? It's 1/48 and 180mm tall. Doesn't look like NY put up any of the Tamashii re-issues for July. Had wanted to combine an order with the 25F Tornado parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Personal request, but if anyone who has like 4-6 Altos and keeps some of then permanently in armor or battroid etc----would much appreciate if you would be willing to swap out a pristine ventral fin for my chipped-modex-number-paint one. I keep my Alto in "naked fighter" more than anything else----but that's the only time you see the ventral fins' numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matic Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Any news on the G and S variants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
close313 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) If there will be a release of the 25G in conjunction with the G tornado parts in august, it should be announced this month and pre orders start on May. Im keeping my fingers crossed as bandai seemed to only bother with alto reissues. Edited April 3, 2014 by close313 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Yeah, seeing the F variant getting reissued again with no hint of a S re-pop, which should follow Alto's in the rerelease schedule as it was the second renewal to be issued, is very frustrating and disappointing. If Bandai followed the original renewal release sequence we should, by all rights, see the S follow the F, with the G coming out 3rd in line; but no, we actually get F followed by F followed by crickets...

Deadeye_281 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Obliviously optimistically speaking, my guess for a 3rd 25F reissue would be due to overall preorder figures for the upcoming Tornado parts that Bandai received. Holding to that logic, the next reissue should be the G for the same reasons. The S should follow that, although I doubt any of this rings true. Logic is not one of Bandai's cornerstones when it comes to the scheduling of Macross releases unfortunately. Meanwhile at Bandai HQ... PR Exec: Sir, reports are in. Everyone wants the Renewal VF-25S rerelease. They currently resell aftermarket for approx $400-500 USD. We could make a killing in profits. CEO: really, are you sure? PR Exec: yes Sir, 110% sure. CEO: Excelllent, we're going to go ahead and not rerelease the VF-25S. PR Exec: Yes Sir, I'll...wait...what? CEO Exec: What other random colours do you think these kids would be interested in Jenkins? PR Exec: Sir...the Ozma...it's...it's an untapped gold mine... CEO Exec: Indeed Jenkins...now how about a nice fusia paint scheme with yellow ribbons... PR Exec: I'm out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
