No Super Parts were made for Chuck's VF-31E and Arad's VF-31S. When, Bandai? When? Armored Parts on the other hand were only made for Arad's VF-31S. You can probably get one and repaint it for Chuck.

I wasn't sure if I missed any parts set since Bandai is taking so long and doing things over the place😅 Thanks for the information @no3Ljm😄 Quote

no3Ljm Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Those Supers really need to be made. C'mon Bandai... Quote
Chronocidal Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 Yeah, I gave up and grabbed spare sets of packs on the secondary market to mod into theirs. Bandai just does not seem to care at this point. Quote

MKT Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 That super pack equipped VF-31E looks fantastic! Was pretty lukewarm on the way the boosters just sort of sit on top of the wings on the other variants, but they are balanced somewhat with the radar dish on the 31E. Quote

This was always my biggest dislike of them. I think they would have looked much better if they mounted sideways, and slipped above and below the wings like the VF-25's. Quote

MKT Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 I can't help thinking, if I were to look up the sky, squint a bit from the sun's glare, the VF-31 with reaction missiles it will look like a giant flippin' bird. Quote

I did a quick size comparison, and the shields use a smaller set of numbers than even the smallest font included in the Hasegawa VF-31A decals. The bigger numbers on the right are pasted from below to give a better visual comparison for their size on the shield panel. Did Bandai include smaller decals in their 1/72 kits? I know I got one of the super-packed VF-31 kits, so maybe those decals would work better. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 For those who want the decal sets but not the kits. https://www.ebay.com/itm/144939298596?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=eQq8BKGURZ2&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=DYvEmawGRN-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I have bought set from this seller in the past and they work well.

jenius Posted Thursday at 07:19 AM Posted Thursday at 07:19 AM Boring... but I guess it's fun they've changed the number from 03 to 10.... Quote
twich Posted Thursday at 07:39 AM Posted Thursday at 07:39 AM I actually never got the opportunity to get one of these, I love the VF-31 and I definitely would like one of these. Twich Quote
eXis10z Posted Thursday at 08:06 AM Posted Thursday at 08:06 AM That's the sound of resale falling. Quote
505thAirborne Posted Thursday at 08:07 AM Posted Thursday at 08:07 AM So, is this another TWE for the 31A or a standard release? Quote
WhatBoutMyStar Posted Thursday at 08:09 AM Posted Thursday at 08:09 AM I don't mind the added Walkure logo on the vertical stabilizers but it wouldn't surprise me if it's a turn off for a lot of others. Assuming this is a WWM release, I wonder if it's destined to hit the discount bin like other WWM releases up to this point even though there are some folks that weren't able to pick it up the first time around before the secondary market prices skyrocketed. Still, I can't imagine there'd be huge demand for this and it might be better to wait for the price to drop. Quote
MKT Posted Thursday at 09:39 AM Posted Thursday at 09:39 AM (edited) Good news, it’s a retail release. Edit - Putting it in its own thread: Edited Thursday at 11:08 AM by MKT Quote
borgified Posted Thursday at 09:48 AM Posted Thursday at 09:48 AM I might be interested, but it depends on my mood. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted Thursday at 03:53 PM Posted Thursday at 03:53 PM Why Bandai, why? I guess it’s a different release since it has a new Modex, as Jenius has pointed out. Bandai should spend time, money, and effort on correcting and retooling 171 repaint to an actual and proper 17. Another WWM for bargain bins. Quote

Chronocidal Posted yesterday at 05:34 AM Posted yesterday at 05:34 AM Yeah, these look really good. This is why I picked up spare sets of super packs when they went on discount from.. I think Luna Park? It was back when I tested whether they could actually deliver, and ordered a couple of other items they had. Quote

Is it too late to give up hope that they will release them separately instead of a bundled box? Quote
Mommar Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago How I wish they would finish releasing the Super and Armor parts for the 31's... Quote
