Novareign Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Trying to decide between the YF-25 Prophecy and the YF-30 Chronos. I recently bought the 30th Anniversary VF-1j, DX VF-25F Renewal, and the YF-29 Isamu. I'm stuck because I already have the VF-25F but it's on sale for a good price and I can get Chronos for 220.00 but don't know if it's worth that.

wmkjr Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) I say get the Chronos just because it's a new and different transforming valk but it is more expensive. Edited August 5, 2014 by wmkjr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enphily Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Same dilemma. I chose Prophecy. I'm sure bandai will release repainted Chronos, maybe with fixed issues etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Chronos. Should've made this thread a poll so it's better to see what the majority says. Edited August 5, 2014 by no3ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KH355hamdi Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I say get the Chronos just because it's a new and different transforming valk but it is more expensive. Yes Chronos as well. But if you have extra space and money get the YF-25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novareign Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 I would have made it a poll but this was my first post lol. I'm still learning the site. I love the site so far though and thanks for the replys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentCrossHairs Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Chronos all the way. You don't need too many 25's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
close313 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I agree with the rest, get the Chronos! You don't need too many 25's. I have that problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie2008 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Get the Chronos, because later on the Chronos will be more difficult to acquire and possibly more expansive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 And if Chronos gets expensive after the initial release, you will pray that they restock, reissue... or better yet pray for a renewal that doesn't need a back-bracket-clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted for Truth And the price will sky-rocket post release, that's about a sure a bet as you can make. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Simple solution: get both. You know you want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrow Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Your probably going to gun for all VF eventually like everyone else. Why not the VF-19 or VF-17 that you haven't mentioned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Magnus Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Chronos, but I say get both before the price on the YF-25 goes up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikos0311 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hi guys. Just wondering if any of you MW cats had a YF-30 chronos PO that you would be able to pass over to me.. ?? I can pay ASAP and I'm on the SS list ! I would greatly appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novareign Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Thx for the input it really helped. I waited to long to decide and the VF-25 Prophecy sold out so I had no choice but to get the YF-30 and I think I'm going to be very happy with it.

ErikElvis Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Id recommend picking up a yf-25 while you can. Its likely gonna go the way of the cavaliers VF-1 and never be seen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullmilitia Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 the YF-25 is definitely one of the nicest renewals. Solid in every way. I do think it will end up fetching a higher price down the road. There's been a lack of interest in it. Same thing happened to the Bandai models of the Yf-25, they were fetching a premium price after sitting around. Plus once they actually get around to doing the correct armor, I'm sure there will be a panicked buying frenzy much like with the 25G and 25F did with the tornado parts release.

Don't let him pass you by. For some reason the 25a, and YF are my favorite to play with. Could be because of how new they are. Very tight, and crisp. The deco on the YF is awesome. Don't be fooled. Edit: I just realized the grip on the YF-25 gunpod is gunmetal and not purple like the others. Edited August 7, 2014 by ChaoticYeti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novareign Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 I just bought the Vf-25f renewal, yf-29 Isamu, 30th anniversary Vf-1j, Masterpiece Prowl, and Yf-30 Chronos all this month. I'll probably get him next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, although I think that it may take awhile for there to be an appreciable jump in after-market prices for the YF-25. I think it all depends on what other releases come out to "distract" collectors. I second this. Don't let him pass you by. For some reason the 25a, and YF are my favorite to play with.

Don't be fooled. *snip* *snip* Edit: I just realized the grip on the YF-25 gunpod is gunmetal and not purple like the others. *snip* The 25A is still my favorite of the DX Renewal releases followed closely by the 30th Anniversary, Ozma and Isamu YF-29's. The YF-25 would have been 2nd but I don't like the larger bubble canopy in Fighter mode, but as a toy release (fit and finish) it's excellent. I just bought the Vf-25f renewal, yf-29 Isamu, 30th anniversary Vf-1j, Masterpiece Prowl, and Yf-30 Chronos all this month. I'll probably get him next month. Was it your birthday or something??? -b.

UN Spacy Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I just got my YF-25 from Ami...IMHO it's my favorite of the Messiah color schemes. The extra tampo printing just makes it a 10/10 in my book...I plan on doing a video review soon. Definitely cheaper and easier to find than the YF-30 has been. But more preorders have been opening for the Chronos in the last few days. Can't go wrong with the Prophecy...but I have a feeling the YF-30 will be another hit. Get em both.

Golden Arms Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Get the 30. You stated that you already have a 25 in your collection. If you didn't buy another Valkyrie, at least your collection would be pretty diverse in what you have. The prophecy is an awesome toy, but its still just another 25. But whatever you decide, both appear to be winners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
