MacrossJunkie Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Is it? In the close ups, like the first and second pic, I don't see any panel lining. I think maybe it just looks that way because the panel lines are very visible with the color used in conjunction with the lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royard Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 it's at 275 now Hmm. I bought from him before I learned about this forum, so I got an ebay message from him saying that he's doing a sale of vf-25f at $225. I don't know why his ebay listing is still at the original. I suppose asking him about it wouldn't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously a wallet raping tool bag and should die. Just buy from an online retailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wm cheng Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I've never been into the CFs before, but this looks so amazing! Also I'm so impressed with the engineering of the renewals now... this is a must buy, I hope we can get it without all the sleepless nights maybe even at MSRP? I don't dare to hope for below MSRP like the VF-171 ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royard Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 VF25F price at Amazon JP 18000 yen I think that the price is acceptable. That price is actually worse than the ebay guy's $225 if you include everything. (If you live in the US, that is.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't dare to hope for below MSRP like the VF-171 ;-) It's a tough thing isn't it. I do like CF schemes in general and I'd like to get more Renewal 25's if I can but I'm done with all this crazy pre-order crap. I'm hoping it goes the same way as the RVF-25 (just a little vigilance after release day will get you a retail price one). I'll be sitting out pre-orders entirely I think.

Lolicon Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Good luck to you kids on the preoders. I've had enough of the VF-25 and Bandai's preorder shenanigans, so there'll be one less person to compete with. I might pick one up if I happen to stumble across an open preorder below MSRP, but no more staying up all night for Bandai toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I doubt you guys have to worry too much. Cannon fodders sell terrible in Japan (as evidenced by the 171 Nightmare Plus and Yamato's V2 VF-1A cannon fodder toys which both went on super clearance before the panic led them to selling out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royard Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Seriously, no need to worry about VF-25A. The scalpers know, through VF-171, that cannon fodder units don't sell, so they won't preorder to screw the market. Many people on this board also said they are not interested in mooks like this. This is probably the easiest to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scyla Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Repacking some of my Renewals and I came up with a theory why the wings are bend upwards. It's due to the packaging! So the Yamato toys being stored in plastic trays only with foil on the parts that are in danger of being damaged (like the position lights). On Bandai toys you have the whole toy packaged in a plastic bag that is then stored in a styrofoam tray. If you are not careful about it when you press the toy inside the tray the plastic bag will apply force upward when rubbing against the styrofoam. Since the wings are wide and light this force will bend the wings upward. An extended amount of time in this position will bend the wings permanently. I thought of this because my RVF-25 was packaged in a way that forced one wing to separate from the legs and was bend more then all my other wings on the Renewals. What do you think? Does it sound plausible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
