I got my 17D with Fast Packs from HKC. Likely they're your best bet. I wouldn't count on the 17D dropping in price, it was the far more popular of the two 17's released (also more rare) and it hasn't lost that value yet. If someone is likely to buy one of the two it's the D, that price will hold.

Not if you can't use a phone at your respective work...

Looks like I missed it again...

Damn, I just missed it again.

I wonder if/when they will reopen preorders this time? This seems like the hardest of all the Valks to get, considering hardly anybody around these parts even managed to grab one. Looks like there's one from Hong Kong that's gone up on ebay for $230 already.
-
Hmm, I wonder if releasing this one first is a ploy to get all of those Ozma fans who missed out on the 25 to buy SOMETHING with his name on it. Once it's sold, they'll re-release the 25S and double dip with those fans.
-
Are they actually selling at $500+? I see them around for that price but I haven't seen many selling for it.
-
Nobody has cheerily said they'd pay $300 for this thing. We've only discussed why due to current trends it will cost around $300 and have resigned ourselves to it.

That's a good deal at hkcollectibles.

Nope, Woodrow Wilson re-segregated both the military and all federal offices.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - Coming May 2, 2014

I thought Harry Osborn was supposed to be Play-Boy looking, not Play-Skool. -
Slight historical correction, the President of the US didn't allow racially integrated units, much to the chagrin of many US Generals who up until that time did command racially integrated units and who argued dividing them back up would be no benefit and would be demoralizing.

I have my Isamu picking off a shot just above my VF-25A in Gerwalk so it's easy enough to get a shot of them right next to each other. Their colors are easily discernible and they aren't a close match unfortunately.
-
The YF-30 is flown by a no-name, it won't matter. He doesn't have to be the main character, he just has to be the most likeable... which was easy in this case.
-
They aren't close at all. I'll try to take one tonight but I can already tell you it won't fit.
-
That ignores the fact Isamu is a guy from twenty years ago versus Ozma, who people have heard of within just the last few years. It would be insane to think that Ozma and Isamu's popularity would have any sort of parity. Ozma will sell more on his name recognition alone.

F.u.c.k. Bandai. I don't play this F5 game anymore. Make it to order or release in proper quantities.

I just went back and transformed my 171 EX with the armor on. Pulling those hands out without getting the arm extension stuck? Good luck. Keeping the armor on (those thighs) good luck again. The armor on the 17 just works... the hand extensions do too.
-
To be fair, the 171 is based off of a relatively realistic CG model versus the nigh-impossible shape warping done 1) in animation and 2) in freaking Macross 7.
-
The 17 could use a redesign still, I think, even though I love the one's I have now. The intakes need to clip into something, especially in Gerwalk mode. The section aft of the cockpit needs to fit down more snug in Fighter/Gerwalk. If they implemented something like on the 171 so the pack would sit more flush, but could also be set back to the farther position like it is now for more dynamic posing, that would be good too.
-
The 19 looks good in fighter and poses well in Battroid. The 17 poses at least as well in Battroid and actually has a Gerwalk that isn't terrible in addition. In terms of the fast packs, there's a lot of internals for transformation, which means some moving internal parts, that's where the extra expense comes from. They do contain magnets too. On the other hand the 19 doesn't even support additional packs. I will admit the 17 doesn't fit together as well as the 19 does, but that doesn't make it less fun. It's certainly not at the level of getting a VF-1 then a VF-0 or YF-19 where they things didn't hold together and where floppy.

Okay, hold on, Knightdramon obviously has a HUGE bone to pick here. The VF-17 is not that hard to transform, all three of my 17's (1 S, 2 D's) all hold their legs up just fine in Fighter mode. The Gun looks cool, no idea what his issue is there. Yes, the legs are a bit long and thin, but that's just reality riding up along Anime Magic and it doesn't look horrible. The 17S looks like a brute in Battroid and it plenty easy/fun to pose and looks really menacing. Plus Gerwalk is actually pretty decent to pose as well and can look cool in it's own right. The Fast Packs make my D look cooler as well. I'm not sure what he was looking for but for $50you go from a bare 17 to a cooler, more armored one, and that's all I really expected. Reconsider the 17, it's pretty fun to play with IMO. The 171 is also very cool looking in all three modes but I personally don't like the transformation at all. Well, the transformation to Battroid. Back and forth between Fighter and Gerwalk is relatively easy. With the Armor on it's even more of a pain and even Fighter to Gerwalk and back suffers. That being said, it looks great in all three modes and poses really well in Gerwalk and Battroid. Other people around these boards don't seem to have as hard a time transforming the 171 as I do so my minuses may not be yours. Bottom line, both look great and pose well.

Bandai Armored VF-171 Normal Type - "Proper" Movie Color
Mommar replied to mickyg's topic in The Workshop!
I personally feel the grey is too light. -
Even if the head is silly looking, I already have a 29 I like in Battroid, Isamu's. This one can be my really sweet Low-Vis Fighter/Gerwalk 29.

So standard release because it's Ozma, huh?
