Yep... but not the reaction missiles, and no bracket to hold them to the Super parts. 

But you're looking at the 171 knock-offs.  Those 171 missiles, the MDE and Reaction missiles are both comically oversized.

Isn’t there a shapeways solution here?

To be fair, anything 3D printed requires A LOT of prep and even still they don't really look as good as what would be produced professionally.

[Sanity is Optional]

3D printed extra pylons for the DX YF-19 ordinance would probably work pretty well. Kinda sucks they didn't give enough pylons for all the stuff it came with.

I spy a VF-31E

[borgified]

Hmmm... A pre-production sample teaser maybe?

Chuck's 31e is not out for release till the last week of July/first week of August.

INB4 "OMGURD NY is asking for even more shipping money for my VF-31 amored packs" *screeeeeeching* Posts

[iguanaman8989]

I'm not sure why I'm surprised at the size of the box, the armor costs nearly as much as the VF-31 did to start.

[jenius]

It needs a whole different stand?

[enphily]

Why not? It's huge and heavy

[Sanity is Optional]

Well, the shipping on 3 of those is not going to be cheap. Wheee.

Bandai: announce Chuck's already! And the 31a version!

[Bolt]

It’s quite grand And geez, it’s gonna take up a lot of space! 

[Lolicon]

Here's NY's shipping cost to the US for one VF-31S armored set as of this posting.

[Bolt]

It’s cheap if you’re willing to wait 2-3 months! Probably not an option and who wants to wait that long..

I'm pretty sure that's the same one they displayed at the M-Tama event and at the Bakuonsai movie event. So far it seems there's just one pre production model floating all over the place

Used Arad for 30k yen https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1112072818&ref=list&keyword=マクロス&lang=en

[spacemanoeuvres]

Wow that is a huge box haha

Looks good though

[Darth Mingus]

I'm surprised the box is full colour.  All the other TWE add-ons have been monochrome.

[seti88]

If only the orange parts of the armor were red as per the side of the box

 

[Dirtyboy]

OOOOH Shiny big box

I always wait that long when there is any significant savings to be had. All that money goes towards more toys and I still get the same thing as everyone else in the end.

Just got my Valkyrie Factory missiles and can confirm they're more reaction torpedoes than reaction missiles.

 

 

Next to the YF-19 reaction missiles for reference.

 

They still look decent if you're going for a torpedo bomber aesthetic. And are far cheaper than buying extra -19s or -31s for missiles.

This because they’re based on the ludicrously proportioned VF-171 missiles.

You know, nukes get SMALLER as they become more advanced/powerful...  (just like most tech)

[borgified]

Karios anyone??

Note that this is 57k yen, opened with minor box damage.

Two months to go for Chuck's 31e and then a month later is Arad's Silpheed Amoured parts for his 31s. 

Is that correct on the dates of the supposed delivery?

It is, based on the Tamashii site.

[Bullet_Sponge]

What are the odds that the vf-31s gets a reissue?

i missed the boat on that one,  and now im kicking myself.

[wmkjr]

If they did do a reissue it might be awhile like Ozma and Alto's VF-25.  They should though seeing how the price increased after the armor set announcement. Maybe the next Delta movie will give a reason for reissue.

[iguanaman8989]

They could handle it like the 31F reissue, coinciding with a possible release of the 31S’s super parts.

[Guyffon]

Hope they reissue the vf-31A though, or at least come out one with a different serial number
