This pod deserves a toy! Hey Xigfrid. Those are not my photos. I just quoted all the VF-31 Battroid pics I found on this thread as was requested. By the way, great job on the Speaker Pod.

mechaninac Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 What an adorable little cat. Silver point Siamese? Man, I miss my Jay who passed away last year, a brown point Siamese that was a fantastic little buddy for 18+ wonderful years of companionship and amusement.

This pod deserves a toy! That looks fantastic! I'd much rather have the speaker pod than a useless remote charger and glorified gun rack, at least when SP'd up! Curse you Bandai for not including it in your (really expensive) SP set! 5 hours ago, mechaninac said: What an adorable little cat. Silver point Siamese?

I'm sorry to hear about your kitty's passing, but it sounds like he had a good, long life with you. Yes, that's Harvey Dent, my blue point Siamese. Siamese kitties are hands down the best cats.

spacemanoeuvres Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Not a bad price! I just lost one on Yahoo Auctions for 28500. No SAL at mandarake though. I’m going to wait until next month when the lottery winners are notified since the price on these seems to have plateaued for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone here ordered it? I don't think the price will ever go down as of now since the lottery will only have a limited number release (hence, the lottery scheme they're pulling) and depends on how many extra they made after the Tamashii Nations 2017 event. The chances of lowering the price is if Bandai will ever reissue it as a regular release or even reissue it again via their TWE with MSRP. And to be honest, if only I have extra cash to spend I already pulled the trigger on it earlier when I saw it since I want an extra copy. But I already have a lot of preorders to think of first. 2 hours ago, eyesonme78 said: Thanks!!! Hey eyesonme78.

jenius Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 The lottery means more supply, that generally means lower price. If be pretty surprised if they're not available for less immediately following the lottery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gone once again. I should say, the demand is really there for that special bird. Like I said, I want another one but if it's only MSRP.

Plus Messer's have a touch of blue for his Valk emblem and eyes. Congrats by the way on acquiring the 31J Kail and the 31J Super Parts. 1 minute ago, borgified said: Was going to reply back, got ninja by @no3Ljmwhile writing. It's all fun though.

I saw the one last night while browsing Mandarake and planning it on sharing it here but chyll beat me to it. I'm tempted like the last one the other day but there's too much 'upcoming spending' going to happen soon so I decided not to. There's really something about that 31J Kai scheme.

This pod deserves a toy! As I recall, I had to use more force than I was comfortable with. Pulling straight up where it clips into the back of the gunpod. Hasn't been as bad since playing with it, but those first couple of times removing the gun from the pod did not feel good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) That is an excellent suggestion! Any recommendations on a size/brand to grab?

wmkjr Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I don't have one myself so I can't say which one. I just noticed you turning it around with your hand and thought it would look cool on one of those platforms. Just get any version that'll hold the weight. You can always buy a round plate of whatever material to put on the platform to match the size needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re both 12” in diameter which I think is enough to fit a Valkyrie in fighter mode. The VF-31’s fighter mode length is around 11”. Hope that helps. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004S081T0/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1517183583&sr=8-8&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=model+turntable+motorized&dpPl=1&dpID=41ZfYIE4xPL&ref=plSrch https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074WF598Z/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517183333&sr=8-1-fkmr0&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=model+turntable+12” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
