PointBlankSniper Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Fold booster front and back struts seem like news though. The not so perfect transformation between landing gears and fast pack gunpods has been irking me, and seeing it super extra+ confirmed in new big text is even more oof lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 So would that mean Bandai is now going to re-release the Fold Booster as a set for both YF-19 and YF-21 seeing that strut components are included in the YF-21's product item list? Probably we can expect an announcement after YF-21's preorder date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just for the people who have them from the YF-19 full-set pack, maybe because they'll release a booster set separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Actar Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 18 hours ago, Reïvaj said: For what I understand, there will be a replacement canopy, they've been announcing this for a while: By "canopy," does it mean the actual canopy (with heat shield?) or the reclined pilot seat? If it's the actual canopy, does it mean that the pilot seat can just collapse backward like the Yamato? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) Given the level of parts former this thing already is it makes me wonder why they didn't they just design for Delimiter mode with a part to cover the section for fighter and then just plug in properly proportioned parts for Gerwalk/Battroid instead of giving us this... thing.

PointBlankSniper Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Kind of appalling how bad the ground clearance looks even with fake gunpods... they could have shaven a hair's thickness out of every piece under the belly, and given the same back to the length of the landing gears, and it wouldn't have affected the proportions of anything except avoid the ground scraping. In fact, I think the same idea could have been applied to avoid having fake gunpods in the first place. It almost seems like someone was just hellbent on making something perfectly scrape the floor by just a little, even if parts forming was requried...

borgified Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 So who still is on a Ramen diet (for the past 4 years since this was teased) and has other options to save up money for this? No doubt that some of us are in the doghouse since we blew the budget away during Christmas and New Year’s celebrations right by over gorging on turkey, truffles, prime port liqueur, expensive wine, caviar, etc..

MKT Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Hmmm 'fold booster strut front and back' included. This is a bit of a tell and am speculating here. It means any future fold booster will not be singularly marketed just for, or to include for the YF-21. It will be for YF-19 only, which means the fold booster will be released together with the other YF-19 parts, minimally the Fast Packs. The fold booster can then obviously be used for the YF-21. The bad news is if you want to have 2 fold boosters, one each for YF-19 and YF-21, you have to buy 2 sets of YF-19 add-on & parts. Is Bandai really gonna pull off this d*ck move?

From missed ghost add-on's for the first HMR 0S release, sealed and then transparent Fast Packs for the VF-1, even the old missing VF-31 supers for arad/chuck/31A. Bandai got too greedy trying to nickel and dime everything, and ended up missing important elements due to limited release slots per year. For goodness sake bandai, include the damm booster in the YF-21 and quit trying to micro release everything....its not as if macross has that many release slots in a year...

I would be perfectly happy if they just went with the route that the HG took. Just give us big beefy legs for Battroid/ Gerwalk mode since it's completely hidden in fighter mode anyways. That would slim down the fighter mode and make room for beefy arms. Add the nose shortening and rotating seat gimmick from Yamato's design and we're golden.

borgified Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 @Sildani - Since December has passed with ZERO pre-order annoucements, then January 10 will be the next logical date at 4 pm JST. Usual web stores: HLJ, AE and others will list it. The North American shores will have this listed some time in February/March as it's a MWW release.

I think it depends a lot on the store, and perhaps the item. Sometimes Amazon is sluggish, taking a few weeks to a month to list something, but smaller sites like BBTS usually get stuff listed much faster.

I don't think there was really anything for me to get this past year. Nothing new in the DX line aside from the VF-1s which I'm all tapped out on. Everything else has been re-issues, HMR, or other stuff. I guess they don't plan on finishing the Delta movie stuff. Arcadia hasn't released much of anything either, as far as I know. My wallet got a big breather thanks to that though. This will be the first new thing I'll be getting. As for the PO madness, at least I can be not so stressed, knowing that there will be a worldwide release in case I don't get a JP preorder.

In the past year, there haven't been any releases that I was interested in, and most of the releases were worldwide. I plan to be online for the PO madness night just to take advantage of the favorable Yen rate. However, like you, if I am not able to secure POs, I won't be stressed about it.

I guess it steers by the thrust vectoring without the stabilizers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
