wmkjr Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Looks like a kit bashed YF-30 to show the similarities and changes? Edited January 19, 2017 by wmkjr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) It kinda looks like YF-30 Chronos body with VF-31 Siegfried's front swept wing. Probably displaying the design transition from YF-30 to VF-31(?). Edited January 19, 2017 by no3Ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the most important question is why did this show even lasted beyond episode 11. So they can milk the 31J mold with different paint scheme down the line? Actually, their call signs and their plane numbers were never matching. Hayate flew 05 even after he became Delta-4, and when he flew Messer's plane it was still 02. Mirage also always flew 04 despite her promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbadon Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Hmm. Interesting. Also, I only now noticed the red trimmings on the wings and tail of the Hayate Messerized version. Looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a brand new aircraft built / painted well after their promotions. It's the least of the show's problems in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirage was still flying Unit 04 though, Hayate couldn't just take that number, and Unit 02 still existed as Messer's plane, even if he wasn't using it anymore. Besides, it isn't a production number, it is the designation of that aircraft. The new Unit 05 was a replacement for the nuked one. The only change is paint and some flight data from Unit 02. It seems to be exactly as it appears, aircraft designation is independent of their team position/call signs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm still holding it against the show, because it gives me another thing to hold against it for being so terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if the parts are identical, then there's going to be some price skyrocketing on Hayate's supers after the inevitable release of the grim reaper version.

Duymon Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Even if they release a 31j messer web exclusive I wouldn't buy super parts for it. Super parts look pretty ugly imho.

Probably displaying the design transition from YF-30 to VF-31(?). very interesting indeed! perhaps an early 31 prototype which was much more closely based on the 30.. glad that didn't happen and the 31 became more of its own thing. Not there is anything really wrong with the 30, its just the 31 is considerably better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm seriously thinking now for another set. Hahaha! You'll never know. But the thing is, if ever I order it, I have to pay for another shipping method. Registed ECO perhaps this time? But kidding aside, the Super Parts looks nice with that black trimming on the VF-31J's wing. Let's hope they will release a new VF-31J(Knight) version.

chyll2 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I think fitting wise, it will be stable. I think what Duymon said about fit, is it does not look good on the Variable Fighter. I really like 30 scheme. I am excited for the 31A (even a model will do) and see if it can be painted to a similar schemes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Questions questions dang you bandai for making it web exclusives......on the flip side too, i wonder if hayate's parts would look nice too on messer's valk or vise versa....all that color combination possibilities on the valks... man this sounds like barbie ken doll territory....mix-and-match outfits...

I am basing my opinion on the super vf-31J that's out for the 1/72 model series. I build mine up and it just doesn't look as good as I thought it would lol. By the time I built my super J I had already PO'd and paid at NY so I'll just keep 1 set around in case my opinion changes in the future lol.

mickyg Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Probably. And yeah, I'd say there's a very good chance we'll see Messer's back in at some point.

Considering how this whole pre-order, order-after-the-fact, thing has been discussed here on the forums and how I know it's worked out for me and those I know in real life I'm going to just stop posting (not that I feel like I do a lot of that "look what I got" type of thing) about my purchases and pre-orders. -b.

Golden Arms Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 KB keep posting and don't take offense to anyone's comments. I find a ton of enjoyment of People sharing pics of their scores and I feel a lot of others feel the same way. The 1 per customer rule that HLJ and other retailers seems to be only for initial preorders. Once the initial allocations have been bought and sold, it's anyone's game for future and remaining stock. HLJ might've been able to secure additional stock from Bandai, or these might've been cancellations. The only one at blame is Bandai as they continue to under produce sufficient stock for the demand of these and their other toy lines. It's the same story with their SH figuarts line and Gundam metal builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
