MacrossJunkie Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 I wonder how hard it would be to take out the fold crystals and strip off the blue colour so that I could repaint it in clear purple. I don't like that heart shaped pattern on the shield either.
mechaninac Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) I'm positive all the clear bits are molded in color: transparent/translucent green, purple, and blue, respectively. As such, there is no possibility of stripping any of them down to water clear for a color change; you either accept Bandai's choices, or remove the bits that offend you in order to make molds to recast them in clear resin that you can tint before pouring, or paint after. Personally, I don't have a problem with what Bandai has done on Isamu's 29. It would've been nice if they'd gone with green and blue, or green and purple, or red and blue or purple, for that matter... heck, it would've been nice if all of Bandai's Frontier, at al, were matte finish, but they are what they are.

I guess I'll find out when I get mine. All of Yamato's coloured clear parts were non-tinted clear plastic painted with clear colours. But I never tested Bandai's to see if that is true with them or not.
Scream Man Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 I guess the crystals on the shoulder SHOULD be purple... but the blue ones look much nicer.
skullmilitia Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 I wasn't gonna buy it, but that review sold me on it. The 29' looks good in more earth-tone colors. Plus.. It's Isamu. Plus... Dat gun!
neoexcaliber Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 NY has already shipped out my order. They're unusually fast this time but I ain't complaining.
Kanedas Bike Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Looks good to me (except for that horrible glob of a pilot). Can't wait to get mine. -b.
tomac66 Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Super parts on the way. http://www.taghobby.com/1-0/1-1/%E9%AD%82%E5%95%86%E5%BA%97-12%E6%9C%8825%E6%97%A5%E9%96%8B%E5%A7%8B%E6%8E%A5%E5%8F%97%E8%A8%82%E8%B3%BC%EF%BC%8C2014%E5%B9%B45%E6%9C%88%E6%B4%BE%E8%B2%A8-dx%E8%B6%85%E5%90%88%E9%87%91-160-yf-29-yf/
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 NY has already shipped out my order. They're unusually fast this time but I ain't complaining. Yup, got the tracking number for my order already as well.
mechaninac Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 "Preparation in progress" for mine... and seriously tempted to purchase a second.
Falcon18 Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Mine's under "preparation in progress" too. Should ship out by tomorrow? I think. First time dealing with NY.
Roy's Blues Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 A Guld super VF-27 in blue and grey make a nice display. /wishfull thinking
technoblue Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Indeed. That's a good wish for Guld. Also, add me to the "preparation in progress" queue.
Faisaijin Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) ooops. excuse me, my mistake Edited December 24, 2013 by Faisaijin
Falcon18 Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Yeah.. That link was posted on the previous page. Thanks though.
MacrossJunkie Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Mine was preparing for shipping and shipped on the same night. That has never happened for me before from NY. Really must be luck of the draw.
Scyla Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 I don't know if it's just me but the plastic does look a little bit translucent. So it look more like a toy compared to any my Renewal Valkyries. Something about that shade of beige is not good looking to me. Perhaps it looks better in hand. So it comes with a printed SMS logo on the stand? Why didn't the YF-29 30th Anniversary came with one?
close313 Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 A Guld super VF-27 in blue and grey make a nice display. /wishfull thinking Thats a great idea, but i would prefer the YF-30 to be a tribute to Guld due to the raptor like design both the 21 and 30 have.
anubis20 Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) Woke up to 3 emails from NY - Preparation in progress - Shipped - Package in transit Hopefully its here by thursday or friday Edited December 24, 2013 by anubis20
OzmaLee74 Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) Got the same emails last night! Opted for SAL since I'm in no hurry this time. Edited December 24, 2013 by OzmaLee74
SilentCrossHairs Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Mine is shipped as well. Will be getting the supers parts. But will only use the booster section. Those wing parts makes the 29 look stupid.
Kanedas Bike Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 Shipping notification from NY just a bit ago, that said I'm incredibly nervous that they sent me (2) unique EMS Tracking Numbers. I did order two copies but I find it odd that they'd ship in separate boxes. Fingers crossed. -b.
senzan Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) hmm my NY order is 'preparing'... Edited December 25, 2013 by senzan
Falcon18 Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 Got tracking number and shipped. Should arrive this week if nothing goes wrong.

If so they will send you two packages because they never combine orders until you ask them. I asked them once to combine orders and their answer was that shipping will be more expensive when I combine the orders. Go figure.

mechaninac Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 I got my shipping notification as well, but since I opted for the cheapest SAL choice it could be a minimum of 1.5 weeks before I see it.

And now that I think of it, they could be even cheaper. Edited December 25, 2013 by Reïvaj

Mommar Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) Via Fed Ex they claim Monday here in New Mexico. Pre-ordered. Now the wait for the YF-30 pre-order begins... Edited December 25, 2013 by Mommar
skullmilitia Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 Yes, that's the last 29' for me, time for some 30's!
mechaninac Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 Yes, that's the last 29' for me, time for some 30's! To me, if Bandai announces the Ozma version of the YF-29. that assertion may come into question. Although, I'd rather get the news that his 25S is being reissued soon, before the YF-30, even.
close313 Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 Thou shall not see no evil and hear no evil. Im contented with my Alto ver Dont worry, im in the same boat as you. Just that i'm already at the plank ready to jump off.
