for some reason, I am really hung up on the fact that I want my Valkyrie toy to have a gunpod, which the VF-31E does not. Yes, I know it has the 25mm mini-gunpods on the arms, but the turret is what I would like with the ability to change it to the hand. Not wanting to spend $400-750 USD on a Macross jet, this only leaves the VF-31F and VF-31E. I will only convince my wife to let me get one......it is a tough decision. So, here is a question...for those that have a VF-31 DX toy and another DX toy, like the VF-27 or YF-29, which is the "best" toy? I like the "S" variants of the Macross VF's, but cant justify the inflated prices on the secondary market. Any input would be nice! Thanks! Twich

Thank you. Twich

Silly Question, I do not own any of the Bandai DX VF-31 variants. I know that the VF-31 A,J,C,F,J Kai, S, F Movie all come with the gunpod. I am looking at the "E" model and I know that it has the radome that folds and goes in the spot for the weapons container, but does it come with the gunpod? I am pretty sure that it does not, but just asking. I know it does not have it in the anime. Thank You Twich

Macross Delta Zettai Live!!!!!! - Available on Blu-ray Sept 28, 2022
twich replied to Marzan's topic in Movies and TV Series
I too would really like a PS4 Macross game, also make it a complete game! Not like Macross Delta Scramble where you have to download half the game and it is available only to Japanese PSN accounts. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I am all about the DX toys from the series/movies, but would like to see new designs and make them a little more available for the masses so that people like me don't have to look for a $200 increase in price plus shipping to be able to get a VF-31 toy that isn't the VF-31F Movie edition! Twich -
from Jenius' review, the Kitzconcept toys, while there were some flaws, seem rather decent, for the price. I am waiting to see what the VF-1J turns out like, since for some strange reason, this was one of my favorite VF-1 toys from Macross
-
Yeah, this is curious....it seems that they had that initial production run, then there hasnt been anything for almost a half a year. I am waiting for the VF-1J Hikaru and/or the M&M VF-1J's I think this would make a great first valk for my 10 year old. Twich

I know that this said 2019, but does the ad say any more? Can’t read Japanese......

wow, premium finish VF-0D....wonder how many thousands that will go for? I would really like this, but dont want to have to sell my car, kidneys and my firstborn son to pay for it....wife might object to it. Twich
-
Yeah, trying to compare scales with Gundam and Macross is hard...things that are 1/60, like my PG Wing Zero is so much larger and taller than any of my Macross stuff, and that is like the shortest Gundam out there. Then when I compare to my one HMR, the VF-2SS, the MG Justice Gundam 2.0 is so much bigger. The MG gundams really compare to 1/60 Macross toys Twich

does anyone have any more news about the Valkyrie Factory 1/60 VF-31J that is supposed to come out in a few months. Have checked the ZShow site, but nothing new.....and it is confusing, is it a KO of the VF-31J Kai or the VF-31J original release? for $160 and good quality, I would rather pay that then $280-350 that a Bandai goes for, I am just not that rich and can really only justify one VF-31 to the wife, I want it to be a good one!

I would like a bandai Hi Metal R VF-27 all variants, VF-25 all variant to include super/armor packs and the VF-0 all variants and the SV-51, all variants....Now that would be a sweet collection Twich

does anyone have any tricks/tips for getting this toy to go back together tightly once you transform it? I transformed it once, and it was hard, I could not get the chest to stick and the "backpack" kept slipping off, but once I had enough of Battroid and attempted to transform back, I had a female dog of a time getting the legs to get past the chest/intakes and now the whole fighter mode is "gappy" I have swung the legs out, checked the position of the arms and made sure the little tabs that come out from the arm/middle section fitted into the back of the knees, but it is still very gappy. I have watched our esteemed Jenius's transformation video and even tried Collection DX's video on the toy, but no luck. Any suggestions? thanks Twich

I hope that we see at least one new design from the Macross Delta movie 2 that is coming out in 2020? As far as a new series, who knows....but wouldnt the next one be the VF-33? Unless it is a SV model, then SV-372? since we went from SV-154 Svard to SV-262 Draken III to ? In any case, I hope that all of them get toys, preferably not exclusive, hard to get toys so that it will be easier to procure them over in the USA Twich

twich replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
is it just me or does that vertical stabilizer appear to be hinged? I wonder if this design is very similar to what we see in the SV-262? Also, there appears to be a seam on the underside right before the thrust vector paddles/feet. Would be very interesting to see this design flushed out into a 3 mode transformation. I too would love to see a Bandai DX make of this design along with a whole bunch more SV-262 toys. who knows, we have whole new Delta movie coming....we can hope Twich -

I had not seen the gun pod tucked up in there either. If it is like the SV-262, then it might be a heavy quantum beam cannon. -

the pods look integrated into the wings -
they come in plastic ammo cans? or did you put those in the ammo cans?

I cannot really tell, and considering the Valkyrie that replaced it, the SV-262, I am having a hard time seeing two thermonuclear reaction engines coming from the rear of that design, but I am sure that it is there. Being a 4th generation Valkyrie design, it would be able to achieve satellite orbit unassisted. It has something that its replacement does not have, in that it does not require super packs to be able to mount missiles. Those two pods look like they were taken right from the SV-51. Just wish we had some more information on another interesting design and its specifications. Twich -

Don’t recall seeing this discussed before, but looking at some of the more detailed pics of the SV-154, I can see that it does not appear to have a visible gunpod, but does have two missile pods, one on each wing. Looks to be a smallish fighter, with no double front landing gear wheels. Any other thoughts? I like this design, but really like the SV-262, but like the -262, it is unique. -
The cannon fodder SV-262Ba’s were green and grey with little if any accents. True cannon fodder fashion, I believe twich

So, if Bandai does decide to ever release any further DX SV-262 toys, they have almost a squadron full of variants. There is the SV-262Hs Keith Aero custom, the "elvis" valk, which I believe is the SV-262Hs Roid Custom, The SV-262Ba for the Windemere Knights (with silver accents, as opposed to the gold of Keith) and the "cannon fodder" SV-262Ba that we see in the Macross Delta TV series and the Macross Delta Scramble game for the PS Vita. There is also sure to be a return of the SV-262 for the second Macross Delta Movie. While I think that a renewal/revision would make the toy less complex to transform, I would hope that they include the "super" parts as standard, same as the VF-27 Brera Renewal release with the super parts. Looking around, to purchase a Lil Draken accessory kit for my DX SV-262Hs would cost more than what I paid for the toy from Nippon-Yasan during their Easter sale this year. Here is to hoping! Twich

I am anxious to hear more about the KO VF-31J they have planned. If it is quality, I would rather pay $140 ish for the toy than $260-$1000, especially if they make more variants of the VF-31 1/60 scale twich

So, I was sitting here staring at my solitary Macross Delta DX toy, the SV-262. I was wondering, is this the first toy that we have had since the v1 DX VF-25 valks that has not included some sort of missiles, either integrated or externally mounted on fast packs. Now, I know that from playing the PS Vita game Macross Delta Scramble, that even the base model of the SV-262 comes with the fast pack micro missile launchers. So, if they ever do release a "standard" SV-262Ba model, it will only have the gunpod as a weapon with the toy. Does this seem as if maybe Bandai is skimping out with the accessories? The DX VF-31 line has the integrated micro missile launchers in the legs along with the folding stabby knives that go into the forearm armors. So, what are peoples thoughts? I hope that the new Macross Delta movie finds new Variable Fighter designs for both the "good" guys as well as the "bad" guys. Twich

Very interesting scheme, is that fan made or a one of custom for Kawamori’s expo? twich
