Not worried in the least. As with all the other Delta DX toys, it will be easy to snag one closer to release date. Figinstock is your friend!
-
I was on Ami exactly at 4pm Japan time and it was order stop already
-
It really was such a missed opportunity that the anime did not feature more different pods. That was one of the main features of the VF-31 design, that it could have different swappable multi-purpose container units and the script writer(s) and director totally failed to capitalize on that. Just think of all the money Bandai could have made selling different pod sets, as we know we would all have bought them..........LOL
-
Probably not planning to get one of these. As much as I love the VF-1 design, I'm deathly bored of buying/collecting VF-1 toys after 30 years of owning so many different makes, models and scales. But nonetheless am eagerly waiting to read some MWers in-depth reviews of these bootleg toys to see how they compare.
-
That would be awesome. I'd love a VF-31 on display with super parts and open Sound Booster.
-
So best bet is the Sv-262's 27mm railguns have a retractable or sliding door covering the muzzles which is closed when not firing to maintain aerodynamics (and possibly stealth). Like the opening door for the F-22's 20mm vulcun cannon,which only opens when the pilot depresses the trigger, in order to preserve the radar cross section (RCS) and maximize stealth.
-
Or they'll release a different version of the Super Parts with the Reaction Missiles.
-
Well, my flight today is not until 5.40pm Japan time, so hopefully, I can grab one before boarding, although I'll be on my cell phone, not my laptop.
-
Yes, they are 27mm railguns.
-
Just noticed a difference between the DX toy and the 1/72 model kit. On the model kit, the twin muzzles of the 27mm forearm railguns are exposed in Fighter mode. But on the 1/60 DX toys they are covered. I wonder which is anime accurate?
-
That's why one of my Sv-262's is staying in fighter mode. And my second one has only been transformed once from Fighter to GERWALK to Battroid and will forever remain in Battroid mode. Anyway, in a moment of post-payday madness, I just ordered a second set of the Lil'Drakens, so both my Keith SV-262's can have the missile packs fitted. yes, my will is weak, I know. But heck does my son really need to go to University????
-
Broke down and just ordered a second VF-31J super pack, for the inevitable episode 26 VF-31J knight emblem version
-
Pretty Mirage will be mine, oh yes she will!
-
Snap! Exactly my feelings too. That stuff about laser firing mini-drones annoyed the hell out of me too.
-
Really like to head on the standard version, much better than the Anubuis head on Keith's. mm........I just noticed the railgun muzzles are exposed in fighter mode unlilke the DX toy.
-
My initial thoughts on the VF-31 Master Files. Lots of pretty pics, but some stuff that bugged me: They got the rear landing gear wrong. Yes, what they drew for the book looks better, but it's still wrong. Disappointed that there were no drawings for alternate load-outs for the leg bays that hold the multi-drones. Was hoping they would have shown an alternate micro-missile load-out. The VF-31A Kairos was incorrectly drawn with hard-points on the outer wings. Disappointed that there was no cut-away drawings or detail about the arm railguns. Anyway, I consider Master Files basically unofficial fanfic, so never really take seriously anything in the pics anyway.
-
Ollie Barder who wrote the review is based in Japan though. -
Really like the look of fighter mode. Gerwalk, not so much and one time getting it into that mode is enough. Battroid actually looks surprisingly good, better in person that it does in the photos, IMO. No regrets burying a second one to permanently keep in Battroid mode.

Macross Δ (Delta) Mecha/Technology Thread - READ 1st POST
Graham replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Can anybody remember in the Macross Delta anime whether we see the Sv-262's beamgun pod firing in fully auto, or only in semi auto? -
Luckily no tampo came off my two when I removed the protective film, which I did very slowly and carefully.
-
LOL............that's hilarious.
-
Yep, I echo that sentiment, thank goodness for Jenius' transforming guide. It's a real lifesaver.
-
Is the yellow color for the beamgun's extended barrel and middle-section accurate to the anime? I wish they had been a metallic grey, the yellow plastic looks way too toy-ish and really out of place on a gunpod.
-
I w When the Lil Drakens are released I'm putting them and the missile packs on the fighter mode and the battroid will just get the sword and shield. I'm not gonna order two sets of the Lil Drakens for my two SV-262.
-
Bought a second one to keep in battroid mode. My first one will stay in fighter mode. Unlike the VF-31, the Sv-262 will not be transformed often or maybe never again.......hahaha
