    Vf-0 vs SV-51

    Archer posted a topic in Toys

    Sorry if this is the wrong forum area for this thread. I have the opportunity to buy either a VF-0S reissue or SV-51 for the same price. I like both equally in terms of design, so thoses who own both, which is the better toy? Which is more durable, better designed, etc. This is the reissue VF-0S, not the first issue... Thanks guys Edit: it's the mass production SV-51

    VF-25F Renewal

    Archer replied to sreichma's topic in Toys

    Yeah, that's a great point. Still kind of funny though, with stores in Japan demanding less product than an international retailer. But yeah, if Bandai saw that fewer people were ordering, then supply would drop down. I think it has gotten better recently, with stores like NY still having stock, but it'd still be nice to pay AT LEAST RETAIL for the product lolol

    VF-25F Renewal

    Archer replied to sreichma's topic in Toys

    I have two theories about this: 1) Bandai is having problems with their manufacturing, and can't create enough units for mass market release, and thus, we are seeing so many shortages. Very akin to the current iPad mini problem... 2) Bandai was afraid of what happened with the v.1 VF-25 (i.e. lots of units being left over, and then sold at loss at most retailers), and are only making as many as they need to make their desired amount of profit Problem 1 seems legit, but doesn't answer why Bandai bothers continuing to develop new version (-S, -G, -RVF) when they know there are issues at hand, and theory two makes no sense because even Bandai should know by now that they are leaving a ton of money on the table. Either way, it's Bandai's loss I guess....

    VF-25F Renewal

    Archer replied to sreichma's topic in Toys

    ^Yeah, that's crazy that prices are up that high. That's almost 4x what a lot of people here paid for the same toy. I hope Bandai clears things up, cuz they're not making any money with other people selling the toys for so much profit. By the way, just wondering (I'm sure you have your reasons), but why not get it for around 350 from retailers like Nippon Yasan or AnimeExport. Just a thought!

    That actually looks really nice. Thanks for all the requested pics you guys!
  7. Archer
    That legitimately looks really nice. Might have to look into that, although my painting skills aren't exactly what I'd call existent...

    Can someone take a picture with a VF-25G and either Alto or Ozma armored parts in fighter mode? I'm desperate at this point, and will do whatever it takes to get an armored vf-25. I'll use my imagination and psuedo story telling abilities to come up with an alternate reality where micheal equips armored parts of freakishly different colors.

    Don't most people here use site refreshers that notify them instantly when the website changes in any shape? Even then, with preorders selling out in seconds, you would need an incredibly quick reflex time or you'd literally have to be sitting there for hours, hawking over the site, or just get very very lucky. At this point, I don't bother with sites like AmiAmi or HLJ. I enjoy both of them, and use them for Yamato releases, but when it comes to Bandai, it's too much of a hassle. Nowadays, I'll just pay the extra 40 to 50 bucks at Nippon Yasan and save myself a meaningful portion of my life (lol). Just a thought though, I don't actually know how people jump on those pre-orders so quickly beyond that

    I really like the new corvette. It's very stylistically similar to the concept corvette stingray which we saw in transformers, and which I absolutely loved. But alas, it doesn't seem worth the 50k entry point to me, when I could drop the same for a BMW or audi. But, to each his own I guess...

    VF-25F Renewal

    Archer replied to sreichma's topic in Toys

    I guess there is this for "hope": About 3 - 4 years ago, Bandai sold the Gundam Fix Figuration Unicorn Metal Composite figure, which sold at an alright pace, but eventually became insanely difficult to track down and find for less than 340 dollars. Here we are, 3 years later, and they are reissuing it this February. If anything, you might have to wait, but when Bandai sees so much demand, there is a good chance they will make more. They have the molds sitting there, they might as well. I'd pin it as post Luca release, we'll be seeing either reissues or bundle packs. EDIT: Of course, all of this is simply my conjecture, nothing here is fact or set in stone

    It's back on NY, but it's sooo expensive now
  13. Archer
    Soooo....I can't source a VF-4G from anywhere. I guess a VF-25G will have to quench my macross craving for now Thank Goodness NY has them in stock too. First VF-25 renewal ever, hopefully it will be as good as everyone claims.
  14. Archer
    I'm so confused...yet oh so excited for whatever this may be... Please be a VF-0D or YF-19 renewal (name still pending lol)
  15. Archer
    Can anyone post amazing photos of a VF-25G? I need to convince myself to buy one....
  16. Archer
    So, did the cannon fodder version ever equip super parts of any kind? I can't recall from the show
  17. Archer
    "VF-0D" "V.3 YF-19" Those are really the only ones that matter to anybody
  18. Archer
    Any place where they are still selling this at somewhat reasonable prices? I probably shouldn't have waited till now to seriously consider buying one of these....

    So, I just got Guild Wars 2 for Mac (still in beta). I'm really unfamiliar with PC gaming, especially MMOs. Any suggestions to how to tackle this, or what profession a noob should use? Did I mention this is my first MMO ever (the lack of monthly subscription and glowing reviews drew me in).

    Getting through Sword Art Online, and so far, it's been really fun, albeit, a bit weird at times (getting married, etc. (you'll understand if you watch it)). I gotta say that although it's kept up a decent pace, things are starting to drop off around episode 15, and I don't like the direction it's going. Guess I'll have to finish it before judging it completely though.
  21. Archer
    Just wondering, but does anyone else think this looks way toooooo similar to Oblivion to be coming out in the same timeframe? I know there are differences, but the general foundations seem pretty similar (i.e. abandoned earth, etc. etc.)
  22. Archer
    It hurt to just watch that. In other news, after being kept away from mass effect having had a PS3 (I wanted to play number one before tackling the other two), I picked up the trilogy on PS3. I'll have to wait a couple more days to get the chance to play it, but I can't wait to experience this series. Hopefully, it's as good as everyone says it is.
  23. Archer
    I can't seem to find it on xbox live store or PSN. What am I doing wrong??!!
  24. Archer
    I played that game on my PS1, but I was too young at the time to really get into it. I'm hoping they'll allow a classics download on Vita, so I can play it on the go...

    At this point man, I'd move on, and begin search for a new laptop. Sounds painful just reading that stream of fail from Toshiba. Oh Toshiba.....
