ErikElvis Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 GGgrrrrrr.... Ordered mine from nippon on the 20th and still reading preparation in progress. Quote
Ahab Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 I like the white on white, as well. Mine shipped out today...looking forward to my first Mac F valk, Quote
Chronocidal Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 those SMS 030 are ok, the real problem is on the superparts... they put the skull white on white wings ... that´s what i´m worried about :S, the SMS 030 means that they are really capable to do it... i hope they put the skulls black or gray... Or.. you know.. PUT THEM ON THE FREAKING TAILS. Really.. is it too much to ask Bandai to actually watch the anime it's celebrating the 30th anniversary of? Quote

Veritech Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 I received second YF-29 today and selling it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bandai-DX-Chogokin-YF-29-Macross-Froniter-Durandal-Valkyrie-30th-Anniversary-/150933745602?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item23245a2fc2 Quote
Sandman Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 LOL! Well it is under $380 but only by 1 cent... Quote
Tober Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 sucks it's no where under 380$. Nippon Yasan still have it for under $300. LINK Which is still about 150% retail tho... Quote
Reïvaj Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I received second YF-29 today and selling it. http://www.ebay.com/...=item23245a2fc2 Please give me a good reason to buy it at that price when it's still available online for much cheaper. Quote
Chronocidal Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I really wish I could get interested in the releases of this, because it's a pretty fun design... but I just can't find a way to get past how hideous the paint schemes are. Quote
mechaninac Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 You should consider yourself fortunate that this 29 does not interest you. See, I'm glad I don't care for it at all... kept me from the headache of trying to preorder at a decent price and saved me money I can use for something else I really want; it's a win-win! Quote
IXTL Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Kawamori interview and spotlight on the anniversary YF-29 from the latest Figure Oh magazine. Quote
Twoducks Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Would be interesting to know what they say in the comparison pic with the old green tinted scheme. Quote
MichaelS Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) Ug another magazine I wish I could read wonderful pics thou.! Question is the YF-29 VSTOL capable? Edited October 26, 2012 by MichaelS Quote
Vifam7 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Would be interesting to know what they say in the comparison pic with the old green tinted scheme. In short - Kawamori felt that the canopy should be a more realistic color so he opted for purple to contrast the yellow highlights and called for the change at the last minute. Quote
MichaelS Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) As only Mr. K can! Hey is this article denoting changes between the alto custom and the 30th anniversry addition or what? Edited October 26, 2012 by MichaelS Quote
skullmilitia Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Nippon Yasan still have it for under $300. LINK Which is still about 150% retail tho... Nice, thanks, I'm thinking of ordering. before it goes up again. Quote
MichaelS Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 To me this is by far the best looking version of the YF-29. Quote
biggooftoybox Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 The YF-29 is just amazing as a fighter plane and this updated one is awesome too. Too bad it's all sold out at HLJ where i normally buy from. Not sure about other retailers. How's that Nippon Yasan? is it an actual store or is it some middleman? I did a quick search for YF-29 and their prices seem to be all over the place. Quote
Kurisama Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Nippon yassan is rock solid. They even hand write thank you notes inside your order! Quote
MichaelS Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 That is where mine is coming from and my VF-4 last I checked they still had some YF-29's and super packs! Quote
MichaelS Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Ok while looking at the pictures there seem to be physical differances between the 2 YF-29's can we get a translation here please. Quote
Reïvaj Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Nippon yassan is rock solid. They even hand write thank you notes inside your order! This. Quote
MichaelS Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Does anybody know if the barrels on the forearm of the YF-29 are weapons it is not listed on the compendium site. Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 The price of NY isn't bad! Considering on eBay it's $380 starting. I think I might actually by this. Quote
Twoducks Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 In short - Kawamori felt that the canopy should be a more realistic color so he opted for purple to contrast the yellow highlights and called for the change at the last minute. Thanks! Mr K sure likes to troll things up. One of his more goofy designs, that had the most pimp scheme of any on screen valk ever, needed to look "more realistic"??? He is more color blind than I am Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 I pulled the trigger and ordered from NY Quote
ErikElvis Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Yeah NY lowered their price. Mine should be here tomorrow or tues but I guess this big storm wont let that happen. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Mr K sure likes to troll things up. One of his more goofy designs, that had the most pimp scheme of any on screen valk ever, needed to look "more realistic"??? He is more color blind than I am Green was way more realistic for canopy color--it's a common tint for glass, sunglasses , etc. Quote
Loop Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) I also would have preferred the green canopy. They really only needed to fix the color of the fold quartz parts, but went a bit further than needed. That said, I am still really happy with it. Edited October 28, 2012 by Loop Quote
Vifam7 Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) Green was way more realistic for canopy color--it's a common tint for glass, sunglasses , etc. The F-35's canopy does look a little purple-ish in certain lighting conditions though... Edited October 28, 2012 by Vifam7 Quote
