YF-29 Durandal Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 So yeah, basically no one except the overlords at Bandai know. "Some months from now" - that's a good one! -b. Pay scalper prices or wait for the reissue it's your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 As awesome as that would be, they should (and probably would) make folks double-dip with a re-release of the 25S and then again with whatever variant he may have in the new series. -b. As much as I like the VF-25 design (and the Frontier mech designs in general). I hope the mech designers do not continue the Frontier design language. I would love to see a new kind of Valkyrie with a new design ideas in the new show and as collector toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedas Bike Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Pay scalper prices or wait for the reissue it's your choice. Let's clear this up, I have a Renewal 25S with Armor and Super Parts and I'm not hunting for another VF-25S. I advocated patience when another member posted about paying after-market prices. You're the one that said a re-issue was "right around the corner" with no real time-table or facts. So the choices are wait for a potential re-issue or bundle or pay after-market prices. -b.

I think 2.5 years in the aftermarket is well enough time for this to no longer be called scalper prices and just regular aftermarket prices. Without any official statement regarding a re-issue The Ozzy 25S will continue to command a premium. People have a right to do whatever they want with their cash and if they are ok with paying a price that may seem outrageous to others that's totally fine because that's how the market works.

Benson13 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Alto: Where are my pants? Ozma: Probably at Bobby's house. Alto: Never drinking again... Ozma: At this point you do it because you like it not because you're drunk. By way send Sheryl over to my place. My old lady and I are going to make a woman out her since you wouldn't know how.

ULessa Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) If the VF-25S comes back out I'ma go broke. Gotta live off instant noodles My wallet still has to suffer 2 YF-30s and more impulse buys! Edited June 5, 2014 by ULessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimis Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I for one would not be surprised if Bandai re-issued the YF-29 Ozma before the VF-25S! Not to annoy anyone but they seem to be riding the Macross 30 game now. And it's not like they need to re-issue something for the extra cash because they don't have anything new on the table. It's actually busier than i ever remember it. I've not had so much on pre-order since 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) This can only mean we get a YF-25 Parzival (the green one) down the line.... ..and thus before the VF-25S reissue.... Edited June 6, 2014 by Scyla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the mech designers do not continue the Frontier design language. I would love to see a new kind of Valkyrie with a new design ideas in the new show and as collector toy. I agree, I'd like the design to move on as well. As much as I like the YF-30 it still heavily harkens to the Frontier Design. This can only mean we get a YF-25 Parzival (?!?!) down the line.... ..and thus before the VF-25S reissue.... The 29 was the Percival. The 25 was Leons.

no3Ljm Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Seriously, how do we know if Bandai's going to decide to release a VF-25S reissue? I want it so bad since I just want to buy his and do a red stripe on him. I know he looks way better on an Armored Pack than Alto's. It's the only reason why I want to have one Ozma. But I don't want to pay aftermarket priced Valks from $350 and up. But just in case they don't, that's fine I guess. Hehehe. All I can do is shake my head.

But it's a good-enough bet, guess or assumption that they will re-issue the 25S in one way, shape or form. Regarding the high after-market prices, they're like that because someone, somewhere is buying them at $ 300+ per so for those that really and truly just have to have a 25S right this second just be prepared to pony up the cash. But for my money I would wait or just do without before paying that much for this particular item. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukenzero Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I wish they'd reissue the 25G also. It's ridiculous how alto gets a second reissue, or third batch, but neither the S not G have anything at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Yeah, I'd really love to get a second G, just on the hopes that THAT one will actually have all the parts included in the box. Freaking Bandai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YF-29 Durandal Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) I'm pretty sure that the VF-25S will be re-released by Bandai in Q1 or Q2 of 2014. Yeah, I was sure wrong on that.

Paying $300+ is kinda over for me. And besides, with that amount of money, we can buy atleast 2 valks. If ever I have extra like $300, and Bandai decided to release a reissue, I'm going to make sure that I will buy two Ozma's. But to be honest, one 25S is ok with me as long that it's not a $300+ value. That's why I envy those who have multiple copies of it or people who have enough dough to buy after market prices.

Duymon Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) awesome 25s's are you going to get another if they re-release ozma 25s or are you done with him? I think I'm done with Ozzy unless they release tornado pack for him O_O. Have a 4th in storage in case that happens. (if it never is released I'll display him in fighter with my extra armored pack set) If they released non-canon NUNS vf-25s'es like those seen in the VF-25 Master File I would prolly go crazy on those I saw one at Mandarake with a Y47000 price tag. oh boy! Hot damn.... that's a ton for the bare valk O_o The most expensive Ozzy I got was less than that and had Armored Pack (in 04/2013). The cheapest Ozzy I got was only 90 dollars, had a broken wing and no accessories. shown below. I rehabbed him into my Armored Ozzy batttroid display Edited June 10, 2014 by Duymon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedas Bike Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 it's going for 450+ Yeah, those two on Mandarake are a bit over-priced (which surprises me since they're usually on the reasonable side) since they're both open box. For now a Renewal can still be found for around $ 300 but if those two $ 450+ units sell then look out. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
