    Bandai DX VF-31

    Graham replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Guys, keep the Sv-262 discussion in the Sv-262 thread please.

    Yay, finally got to watch episode 3 this morning. Been traveling oversseas on business since the weekend, so no time until now.

    Haha, no plans to repaint or fill in seams. I'm the world's worst model painter. All that stuff is way too technical for me and at a level of skill I could never obtain. I'm buying these specifically beacuse they are already painted, so I don't have to. Just gonna slap em together, use a few drops of super glue to make sure they stay together and use them as hand-held zoom arounds until the DX toys come out. Graham

    So super glue for these?

    Confused......So does this mean that the Gerwalk kit is not a complete kit even though it's the most expensive? And does it mean you have to buy an extra Fighter mode and Battroid mode kits just to complete the Gerwalk? If that's the case I'll probably cancel my Gerwalk order and just stick with the Fighter and Battroid kits.

    You mean Master Helman?

    Mine have shipped from HLJ.

    I would imagine by now given the amount of times that a VF has had to rescue standard size humans the operating system has been programmed to recognise when the VF is holding a human in its manipulator and adapt accordingly.
  9. Graham
    Pre-order placed.
  10. Graham
    You mean the animation of the music?

    Forgot I'd actually ordered these, just received a payment request from HLJ. Oh well, they are cheap enough that even though they look really shitty, might as well keep them to tide me over until the TomyTecs and Bandai DXs come out. Graham
  12. Graham
    These are just looking better and better
  13. Graham
    I think it's likely just an error by whomever did those pics.
  14. Graham
    Or even if one can't read the English word "Sticker"
  15. Graham
    So are these up for pre-order anywhere yet?
  16. Graham
    Oh dear. Think I'm gonna pass and wait for the Tomy Tech instead.
  17. Graham
    Yeah, those are the micro-missile launch ports on the legs.

    Just I find it interesting that the anime shows them exiting from fold, with no sign of a mother ship. Yes, I guess they could have either launched from a mother ship just prior to coming out of fold or be traveling outside the mother ship, using it's fold bubble/tunnel etc (whatever the term is these days). It would be cool though if fold drives have been miniaturized enough to fit inside the Sv-262s. Which leads to the next questions, if they have, then what is the recharge time between folds and maximum fold distance? Graham

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Graham replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    I still prefer the VF-31F as to me it's the best compromise between low-vis and having some colour, but without being too flashy. And it's got the Grim Reaper on it........Mwahahaha. Graham

    I don't think this has been mentioned before, but the Sv-262 may be the first ever VF to feature an internal fold drive. We see the Sv-262's fold in, but there appears to be no externally mounted Fold Booster. Neither do we see them jettison a Fold Booster. Graham

    I tend to discount any information that is non-official. So yeah I treat the Master Files and other such non-official sources as fanfic (but with pretty pictures)......LOL. I can't remember if Macross the Ride is considered canon or not. I didn't mention the SDF-1's rail guns on purpose, as the discussion was about VFs, not capital ships. But anyway, a pod mounted rail gun for dog fighting would make sense for many reasons as long as it cold have a high enough rate of fire. Having the VF-31's arm guns being rail guns would also have the advantage of having them being able to draw power from the VF, than user a separate powerpack/capacitor system for power.

    My favorite scene was Mirage's rescue of Hayate's VF-171. My favorite scene will only ever be mecha scenes.....haha Anyway, love the music in that scene.
  23. Graham
    Hang on, excluding the railgun gunpods and SAP-mounted railgun used by the VF-2SS in Macross II, which is not in the same continuity anyway, what rail guns have we seen in the main Macross timeline? The only two railguns I can think of are Michael's 55mm SSL-9B Dragunov sniper rifle and the 4 large mounted Shinnakasu/Vigors 320mm railguns on the VB-6 in Macross Frontier. I certainly don't remember any other railgun gunpods. Graham

    I doubt it detaches. At least I hope not. Doesn't look large enough to actually hold any ammo if it does.
  25. Graham
    I'm kinda disappointed that Bandai can't even get something as simple as this released in time for the start of the show.
