anime52k8 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 is it a actual, "we redesigned it and made improvements" Renewal or just a "it's really just a reissue in a darker color and with new tampo printing" renewal?
aaajin Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 glad I waited for this version. Looks menacing in darker colors!
Jasonc Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Just when I thought I was up to date, they throw another thing out there for me to preorder.
xrentonx Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Hmmm I might be interested depending on how much of a "renewal" this is...
Benson13 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 I was just thinking I need to hunt one of these down today.
Shukenzero Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Looks like the Wings Of Goodbye version. Same mold with a darker scheme and different decals.
Chronocidal Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Good, I might still have a way to get one, since I passed on them before. Really wish I could get a version with just the sharkmouth markings though, the nose-art is probably my least favorite thing about it.
skullmilitia Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 I was under the impression, this really didn't need a renewal... Just needed to be ginormous lol. 240$? Yikes.. Wasn't the non SP only 160$ originally?
charger69 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 To celebrate this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlT6RRvJSdw
xrentonx Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Already got the SP version but after looking at the pics a bit more, even though the color and nose art are really the only difference I can see, I think I'm down. Count me in for one. I could use a second one anyway Edit: Yay 2000 posts. That's a record for me on any forum...been tired of eatin all them pineapples Edited June 21, 2014 by xrentonx
Loop Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Kind of on the fence about this one, I hope there are improvements of some sorts. I already have the older SP version and all the Side <VF> toys to go with it including a completed pixie squad. I don't know how another one will fit in to my collection. I will wait until we learn more about it.
Gakken85 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 To celebrate this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlT6RRvJSdw Awesome. haha. Most def. a pass for me
Kanedas Bike Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 THANK GOODNESS!!!!! A pre-order I can pass on. -b.
Saburo Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) I don't have one so I am in. Once again into the pre-order madness I go. Edited June 21, 2014 by Saburo
charger69 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 I really don't understand you guys sometimes.... Justifying a new Macross purchase is so simple One for fighter, one for battroid! B))

B)) Hey, you have to be a fan of the design. There are a few releases that I've gladly passed on and not looked back in regret, this Monster will join those ranks along with the last one from Bandai and the one from Yamato. -b.

B)) I love my Valks in GERWALK too btw can someone point me to the thread for the previous release of this? Want to read up on it.
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 I missed on the previous release and I've been wanting one ever since, so I'm in. Just waiting to hear on the improvements to feel even better about getting it
close313 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 I love the darker green on this one. I had a DX Monster before and it's a great toy. Would definitely get this due to the colour. Is the noseart optional or is it tampo'd on already?
locidm Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 It says on the article it's renewal COLOR. I assume that means nothing's changed but the color.
VF-Zer0S Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 This looks awesome even if it's just a recolor. I've never had one so I'll be picking up one
ULessa Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 All these people getting one is making me want one :X
CRYO Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) K monster re-colour in Nov, maybe hints for VF 25S armored movie version in Dec? And actually this darker green goes back to the Yamato's colour scheme Edited June 21, 2014 by CRYO
ULessa Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 K monster re-colour in Nov, maybe hints for VF 25S armored movie version in Dec? And actually this darker green goes back to the Yamato's colour scheme This board is so going down when the VF-25S is about to release for PO (asuming that it does).
mechaninac Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) All these people getting one is making me want one :X Funny how that works... I'm tempted too, but the pinnup nose art kind of puts me off; I'd much rather get a version with the eyes over the shark's mouth, to be honest. And what's with 3760 JPY mark-up over the previous SP release? Also, will this be a true renewal (reengineered) release, a half-assed tweak like the VF-27 1.5, or the exact same old toy molded in slightly darker plastic and unique decoration as some have mentioned?

ULessa Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) I completely forgot that the Monster had a Battroid mode. Edited June 21, 2014 by ULessa
Guyffon Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 For that price is better be 1/60 That said, i did not manage to get one the 1st 2 times and being oneof my favs, I will have to get this
charger69 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 I completely forgot that the Monster had a Battroid mode. I made a general comment as fighter/battroid modes. I of course know that we have destroid/shuttle in VB-6's case
XFJ-01A Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Tempting, But I have my floppy mess of a Yamato VB-6.I love the damn thing, but I'm gonna keep this in mind. That price point has me hesitant.
Shukenzero Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Still got the two originals. They were solid so I think this to be a rerelease not a renewal. There's nothing in that scan to indicate a change in scale, nor improvements to the mold. Darker colour is welcome, but it's more of Bandai keeping interest before the new series.
TaikoD Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Oh: i'm so into this... So anyone know when the po start??
