Mommar Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 That's a nice looking box. Too bad they don't have it posed in Gerwalk too as the 171 and the toy itself look great and play great in that mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightCastle Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I haven't received an e-mail from them about shipping yet. So, I would suppose not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benbot Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Uhg, screw it. I just sent payment. I have no self control. It's too beautiful a design to pass up! Plus it will probably be the last new Macross mold made for a long time...until the next inevitable series, anyway. Oh, and the YF-30. Forgot about that...

David Hingtgen Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Is that the first time we've ever really had a good idea what the flight-suit for a non-EX VF-171 looks like? PS---only 3 "no steps" on the wings? That shouldn't be hard to remove on the undersides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I was mainly thinking about colors---we rarely even got helmet shots in the series IIRC. Who knew they had blue boots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 So wait. They put the no step warnings on the leading edge... and left the entire trailing edge control surfaces unmarked? Where's that facepalm smiley we keep needing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's that facepalm smiley we keep needing. The trailing edge does have "No Step" markings. It's just in gray. If you look closely, you'll see it's on both the top and underside of the wings as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 That is a pretty bird. Can't wait for mine to get here, but still no shipping notice from NY or CD-Japan The CF VF-171 definitely looks better without armour IMO. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takatoys Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I was about to lose my pre-order from NY. With the shipping notice delay, it gave me the extra days to complete payment. Glad I did not skip this bird, looks so nice in any mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't that mean all your pre-order from NY disappears and you on their blacklist? I wouldn't do that. You can ask nicely via e-mail.

I got a payment request from NY two weeks ago. They told me to pay before the 24th or I will lose my account and all previous pre-orders.The VF-171 was not ready for shipping I guess, as I got no cancellation from them. To be safe, I paid a few minutes ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be safe, I paid a few minutes ago. OK thanks guys, I ended up preordering twice for another valk, One in yen and another in USD. I wanted to see which one was cheaper months down the line. Looks like I'll have to pick now which is the best bet and cancel the other one. Edited April 26, 2013 by grymg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullmilitia Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 NY will probably ship out their own orders first, and the rest of us who bought the higher priced releases will get shipped over time, and the bought stock from other stores make it in.
