Gakken85 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I wish they'd make a version from the first episode that's the drone piloted version. That's the sex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I don't recall any drone piloted version of the VF-171 in the first episode of Macross Frontier (or in any episodes). The only drone in the first episode was the AIF-7S Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsain Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 GGemini, was it you that sold the leg & torso super parts from your 171EX? If not, you could always paint them lighter gray and put them on the 171CF, like these guys: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sreichma Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Anyone know if you can put the missiles from the 171 armor kit onto the vf-25 renewal wings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Not without harpoints on the 25's. Hljand amiami units came in today. No duds yet, but got 4 more in the pipe from NY. Crossing my fingers 0_o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar color pattern to the canon fodder. Similar design but slightly different forward section with the drone eye. Personally, I think it would make a fantastic toy.

Gakken85 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I'm saying I want one, no matter what its called haha. I haven't finished frontier so the first time I saw them they looked like the 171 to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I'm betting that Bandai will probably release Ghosts as web exclusives for the RVF-25 and VF-27. As for a CF color scheme, that's another matter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyde01 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 i'm personally not interested in non-transforming toys but i guess they'd be cool to display with an rvf-25 or vf-27 if you had one. looks like they aren't including them with the vf-27fp set though.

Scyla Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Off topic but I hope the don't release the drones for the RVF-25/VF-27/RVF-171 in stupid bundles like the last time. Drone and drone controller for the Super Parts are enough in my eyes. For me the clip on missiles for the VF-25s are not worth buying because they didn't use them in the show. The drones look cool though. Edited May 3, 2013 by Scyla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, now that I think about it, I guess if you can confuse a Ghost with a VF-171CF then how not to confuse the ads as vague as those of Hasegawa and Yamato for the 30th anniversary...

MacrossJunkie Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 so the 171's have hardpoints? Asking, because I don't have one. Not out of the box. You have to get the super parts to get the replacement wings with hardpoints. Lame, I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lechuck Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Of course it's Friday and of course mine has to land in customs, sitting there over the weekend. Now I have to try and find time after work again to go there. I say again, because I went there today to pick up four pieces of replacement parts for one of my MG kits that they retained. By the time I get my VF-171 in my hands it will be old news already. Grrrr, I get so agro when it comes to customs. Mankinds worst idea ever!

GGemini Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 GGemini, was it you that sold the leg & torso super parts from your 171EX? If not, you could always paint them lighter gray and put them on the 171CF, like these guys: Yup, I offered the parts but in the end I never sold them. Good idea! Need to find a similar color, the parts shouldn't be too hard to paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) Finished some basic panel lining. The black paint, unlike previous DXes, is very sensitive to rubbing alcohol. THe silver is the same as the one used on the 171 so it'll rub off easy with rubbing alcohol. be careful when doing washes and wiping off the excess. On a side note, my 171 CF looks so naked without underwing stores like they had in like every scene in Macross F.. September cannot come sooner. Also.. the flaps on the wings have grey 171's....not no-steps. It just looks stupid to have 171 in those areas O_o Edited May 4, 2013 by Duymon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, makes sense got my package today form NY, but not what I ordered.......disappointing. What did you get? Did NY short you? Because it's a different valk, it's a VF-17. I don't understand why people are trying to do direct comparisons on these 2 different valks from 2 different shows that are set in different timelines.....

Gakken85 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm sure you could get it on ebay and make some money off what you initially paid. If you want a few months when all stores are sold out you could probably make a bit more. Up to you really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
