Sandman Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I don't want to get anyone's hopes up but is this a reissue for supers? No mention of super parts there... I just got super excited until barurotor replied. Not so much for y-29 supers but the possibilities of bandai re-releasing other exclusives like the vf-25 armour parts.

abbadon Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I don't want to get anyone's hopes up but is this a reissue for supers? Looks like from the translator. 8360 yen? No mention of super parts there... Yeah, and it actually says 18360 Yen. So it's probably just about the YF-29 reissue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmkjr Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Apologies. Hahaha darn translator got my hopes up. Saw super and not the alloy part. Edited April 23, 2016 by wmkjr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberich Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Got the preorder for Y14450 in HLJ, thanks for the heads up. I was waiting to get the YF-29 Rod Custom, but hey this one is normally more expensive than the Rod one. Also is going to be my second valkyrie. Right now my YF-25 is in its way to home. Also one question, normally they send some invoice to make your payment for the pre-order? (sorry is my first time buying in HLJ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) HLJ sends payment request when item is ready to ship. Since you PO'd what looks to be a May Restock, you won't be charged until May The Rod and Alto are basically the same except for the Pilot fig and gunpod. Don't remember if the two nibs on the head are reversed on the Rod like they are on the Anniversary "roy" 29.

lechuck Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I wish Bandai would re-release the Ozma variant already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mog_kupo Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I wish Bandai would re-release the Ozma variant already. Me too, but I dont think they will, they havent relaunched the VF-25G neither Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedas Bike Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Very surprised at how long the May Restock pre-order of this lasted. Very. And there are a few re-releases of Frontier Valkyries that Bandai missed the boat on, but it's looking less and less likely that those will ever see the light of day with the Delta DX Valks in the works. -b.

MAC-X Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I wish Bandai would re-release the Ozma variant already. That, and perhaps the 30th anniversary as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iguanaman8989 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 HLJ has it listed as discontinued now, but no changes to my order. Probably just sold all that they knew they had coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anubis20 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) Heads up, according to pics on twitter, it looks like there is an error with the new re-issue and it has SWS printed on the shoulder and only on the front, the back of that shoulder says SMS Edited April 25, 2016 by anubis20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I think most of the Frontier DX's have at least one wing insignia like that. It's harder to tell since they're angled anyways, but I think quite a few are "not quite right". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickyg Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Can the shoulder be swapped to the other side on these? I can't remember as it's been awhile since my Isamu type has seen anything but fighter mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be honest, if the May restock still has that SWS, I really don't mind. Still got it for cheap compared to old prices. So I'm still good. Strategic Walkure Squadron Yup! Subliminal it is.

Scyla Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Mine shipped yesterday so I'm wondering if it will have the flipped printing. If it is on all of them I think it will be Speed Wonder Spacy from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will start to ship correct part by May. Good thing Bandai is taking care of this. Too bad though if this is only applicable to Japan residents. I think for people who ordered this outside Japan to try and contact the online stores if they're able to help you get replaced the shoulder part.

Scyla Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Too bad I bought the YF-29 from NY so I guess I'm out of luck. Is there anyway for someone not living in Japan to get the replacement parts? Maybe I can get a replacement piece for $100 from YAJ. I also have to as why for this and not for the VF-171 CF shoulder blocks. This is purely cosmetic. With the VF-171 it was damaging the functionality of the whole toy. In addition they just could add new shoulder blocks to the Armored Parts later on to solve this issue easily. Well enough of the rambling. Better late customer support than never. I'm glad for the people who have this issue and are able to get a replacement part.

And I hope that HLJ can do something about this, I got the pre-order for this Valk for the may re-issue, the SWS change is not a big problem but if HLJ can do something is going to appreciated.
