lol got me 3rd at NY. 128 not bad at all. now I just need to upsize figure out how to take off the tampo #1's and replace them with 2 and 3 in June

fot my usual 2 at HS. woot woot

Amiami's teaser is up http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-004931&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3DYF-25%24pagemax%3D20%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1

Confirmed PO's open on 3/3 at 1600 JST from two different sources. I'm on vacay, gonna be up all night with preorder madness

until the valk is officially on the tamashii webpage and the usual blogs give an actual reservation date who knows. I will be checking the blogs regularly for updates. Though I don't think this one will be as bad as the ozzy, it's a non hero.

http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1403378.html Bonus came in, this will take a tiny chunk out of it due to the price drop

the side profile in the second magazine scan looks close to the yf-25 cockpit on the 1/72. I think they used separate parts for the cockpit block. On the model it was only a few different parts to make the two seated. you can tell it's different by how the cockpit is more straight in the middle, just like on the model (I have 4 of them I know lol)

Welp, there goes a chunk of my bonus Official Tamashii link http://tamashii.jp/special/pickup/201406vzpcg/ Oh, and it says this: ※上記商品は一般店頭での発売を予定しております。 which basically means General Release.......

Anyone Notice NY is back up? http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/6609-macross-f-dx-chogokin-yf-29-durandal-valkyrie-ozma-lee-custom.html&force=1 They got 50 slots

The VF-25 gerwalk with packs on is frustrating but you can still work with it. YOu just need to manuever the shoulders a little bit so that they sink a little bit. YF-29 gerwalk, however, has no issues thank god.

Wasn't me. I just got it off a toy blog I check once in a while lol

Where's my Arcadia VT-1 ON a side note, did anyone add these yet?

Unless they actually want it to transform.....

You can make a VF-25 look pretty good if you add in some magnets. The decals are crap but the stickers are slightly better at not being totally transparent. A little painting on the canopy / pilot and some panel lining with a wash and you have a decent looking Vf-25 Ozzy

After retail release all the other regular release 29's have all gone UP, not down. (The Isamu doesn't count because everyone who wanted one got one already at retail via via the web store) Even with Reissue the 30th anni 29 never got below 210-ish. Thankfully the 29's are cheap to super up (unless you're trying to super-up an Alto) When I get my Ozzie, I might try to swap the purples canopy and crystals from 30th to the ozzie. the VF-25 ozzy looked great with a purple canopy, don't see why the 29 has a blue one :0

Price was 15300, which is a lil more than HS / Amiami and about a buck cheaper than Ny's 1st opening. My search filter was set to: Macross / Bandai , Show discontinued, arrange by release date. Saw it pop up immediately.

Aaaand.. HLJ sells out in less than 40 seconds :0 Prolly to troll the peeps who were spamming the yf-29 search lol

http://www.hlj.com/product/ban987064/Act GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! 15300 yen

For Most Macross Zombies there is no final Valk, only anticipation of the next

There's no doubt any item will be obtainable after release. The real question is: at what price?

NY has always limited 1st-run. I had this occur when the Alto's 25F reissues were up. They asked me to either let them reduce order to 1, or cancel the whole order. AFter 1st run, it's anything goes.

...To retail.... lol OMG they're charging retail on a 3rd round preorder, we should be celebrating considering all the price jacks last year

NY didn't raise the price 25 dollars, they are simply charging retail. Their initial batch was 25 dollars below retail.

Not a horrible deal honestly. They aren't getting the sweetheart wholesale deal, these are sourced from other shops in Japan and they are trying to keep the same overhead, otherwise it makes no sense at all for them to source other pieces if they're gonna lose money. Also, it ended up being the same cost as the Isamu, which everyone gladly paid 180 for....... NY's 18,300円 is still super slightly cheaper than Retail, which is 18,360円 (Source: http://tamashii.jp/item/10603/) My God.... NY is "scalping" for charging Retail..... lmao Now if you missed this round.. that's when the above-retail stuff begins
