xrentonx Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Yeah, it's up http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/4936-macross-f-armored-parts-dx-chogokin-vf-171-nightmare-plus-regular-limited-edition.html About 11% markup...not bad.

Scyla Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 It's been awhile since I watched Frontier. What color are the armor parts on the canon fodder anyway? Same as the 171EX? I quoted a post from Veef regarding the color of the Super Parts of the VF-171 CF over at the CF-tread. I don't know how to quote from one topic to another. Sorry.

Duymon Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 the 11% markup is prolly because NY is purchasing it from Bandai's webstore at retail I assume. Would not be worth their time if they stocked these and sold for no profit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not be worth their time if they stocked these and sold for no profit Naturally ...I was expecting something a little higher like 15% or 20% though. The 11% puts them in line with my proxy buyer for this item. The only other thing to compare is shipping costs. I might split the purchase and get one from NY and one from the proxy.

MacrossJunkie Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Argh, I was going to pass on this, but now I'm considering it just to get the hardpointed wings and MDE bombs. I don't even want the armor or plan to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I definitely think the CF looks better without the armour. But I've ordered one set just for the wings and missiles, as in the TV series it's usually always shown with wing missiles. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Yeah, they figured out how to sell these again by adding the extra bombs. I wasn't interested in more armor parts but the bombs I do want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyekye Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Got 1 pre-ordered at NY! AE also has it, but at a little higher price. In case NY closes pre-order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I may pass--I want screen-accurate grey armor, not Alto's navy blue. I do want the nukes, but not badly enough to pay for the whole set in the wrong color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Just get an airbrush and paint it grey ;p My little Iwata airbrush is ready Just kinda blagh that I have to do this 6x since I got 6 CF's in the pipe O_o Edited April 12, 2013 by Duymon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I pre-ordered 3x for the 3x 171's I have on order. I think they look pretty awesome myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I suppose there's always the possibility someone will point out they have the colors wrong and change them. They aren't due out until September anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Knowing Bandai's past history though with colors not being right, they may just leave them as is too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duymon Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 since those who purchase are gonna have spare underwing stores, wish we could slap them onto our renewal 25's :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 In addition to being the wrong color, it's the wrong missiles, too. I want these ship-killer missiles: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=99337 Did the CF even use the dorsal-mounted weapons? I'll gladly trade the beam rifle for these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
