The only difference I see is the new insignia and numbering from the original.

[ArchieNov]

Whoa. I bet those aftermarket prices will start dropping fast.

Yeah unless you get slapped with tariffs.  Then it's not so cheap

[PointBlankSniper]

Crazy that a limited item is going into store retail for reprint.

I don't live in the US. Tariffs have been around since forever in my country and probably the rest of the world (except for the US until recently).

Yeah we're dealing with it now because we have a deranged lunatic with dementia running our country.  Apparently this is our return to the "Golden Age".

Nice that this reissue will be general release this time.

 

[Lolicon]

Another freaking reissue. At least it's something I might actually buy. Though I'm worried that it will have worse QC than the original release because pretty much all of Bandai's releases post-covid have had spotty QC, at best. 

[Seto Kaiba]

Considering how fiercely sought-after the original DX VF-31A release was, I imagine this'll be fairly well-received.

It's still the best looking of all the VF-31s, ironically.

[Bolt]

Looks great. This is one of those times Bandai will get my $$. I don't recall any big issues with QC on the first 31-A , so i'm hoping it's a solid production.

Do I up my A's to 6?

Yes.

[Chronocidal]

Ok, yeah, awesome.

In for two more this time around, and maybe I'll be able to get them at retail, or even Amazon.  

[MikeRoz]

They're really going to try everything before getting around to the Revival Luca RVF-25 drop.

This is going to be nearly $300 (from domestic shops) for a -31 without supers. On one hand the -31 isn't my favorite, but on the other the paint scheme is nice. I'm on the fence. Maybe I'll wait for an Amazon deal or a good USAGS coupon.
