YF-29 Durandal

CD Japan were selling VF-25A's at a 20% discount so not surprisingly they must have sold out by now. 11,200 JPY and you can still add to cart. http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/goods/goods_detail.html?KEY=NEOGDS-90706

It seems that Arcadia are very wary about making valkyries that only appeared in computer games so with that you can write off the VF-3000, VF-5000, VF-9 and the VF-14. To the VF-11 Mr. K said no plans right now and I think that he said something similar about the VF-4 so that leaves the VF-17 and more YF-19's and the VF-22 but since Mr. K said that the YF-21 won't be next and I don't think that Arcadia would be making the VF-22 before the YF-21 so that removes the VF-22 from the list of possible valkyries. And with the VF-17 getting released last year and not selling that well I think that you can write off that one as well. Whew... this turned out to be a bit of a long rant but the bottom line is that the next valkyries from Arcadia that are not VF-1's would be more YF-19's or the VF-19F / VF-19S.

I guess that Arcadia could be reusing the YF-19 mold but with different colour schemes or make the VF-19F and VF-19S from a new mold.

Yeah, I really prefer the VF-171 over the VF-17 so...

I hope more for VF-22S Max and Milia myself but it's really only the Milia version that I want... next will probably be VF-17 though since Mr. K said that the YF-21 won't be next after the YF-19.

When I get my RVF-171 in cannon fodder colours (whenever it gets released by Bandai) I won't even transform it to check for factory defects or missing parts, it will stay in fighter mode forever which is probably for the best.

Thank you.

1/72 is 20% smaller than 1/60 and 1/48 is 20% larger than 1/60. If I were Bandai then I would make Macross toys in the following scales: 1/100 scale non-transformable and price range 600-1000 JPY, 1/72 scale transformable and price range 3000-6000 JPY, 1/60 scale transformable highly detailed with metal parts and price range 14000-22000 JPY, 1/48 scale transformable very highly detailed with many metal parts and price range 28000 JPY and up.

Ah, my bad.

Bandai will announce the details for the YF-30 Chronos at Tamashii Nations on November 1st. http://www.macrossworld.com/ I just wanted to mention it if anyone has missed the info on the front page.

Not really... I think that they overcharged me with 900 JPY for the shipping of my VF-27.

So what do you guys think about the RVF-25 compared to the VE-1?

I see.

I have changed my mind about the VF-4 and I think that it's the least likeable valkyrie in battroid mode... it looks good in fighter mode though.

How much is the shipping? I got mine for 7,390 JPY with registered air mail (8-10 days) at Nippon-Yasan.

So what colour schemes currently exists for this valkyrie?

They are pretty cheap at CD Japan right now. http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/goods/goods_detail.html?KEY=NEOGDS-90706

Thanks! I just pre-ordered mine and it's great that you don't have to pay upfront.

I think that you could easily sell it on ebay UK for £160 and yeah the price will get jacked up on release day.

The missile box should have more missiles. I could easily redesign the current one so that it could fit 25 missiles instead of the 18 that it has now.

The purple super parts looks really good on the light tan VF-25A... it's even in fact the best looking 25 series with super parts. I was thinking on getting super parts for my RVF-25 but I really don't want to cover up all that yummy mint green and I don't care at all for the ghosts.

Hello Skull005 don't buy the crappy IKEA one... you would want a display case thats airtight and doesn't let in any dust so keep looking.

There is one in a Japanese store for 32.000+ JPY and I think it's pre-owned or something. Or the box is just slightly damaged.

So when are they opening up the pre-orders on the YF-30 Chronos?
