YOU'RE YELLOW! VF-25F turning all sorts of colors
Sanity is Optional replied to armentage's topic in Toys
Based on the difference in shade on the tail-fin hinges, I'm going to say it's probably yellowed some. -
In addition to @kajnrigs corrections, there's also this magazine ad (found here), showing some non-cannon combinations:
-
Tornado, Super Pack, and Armored pack are just 3 different sets of attachments used at various parts in the series. Super pack is some boosters and missiles. Tornado is bigger boosters, missiles and a big pair of guns. Armored is even larger boosters, even more missiles, those two ball-gun things, what appears to be an auxiliary radar dish on the back, and more general coverage. In the series the supers appeared first, then the tornado pack (Alto and Michael only), and then the armored pack (Also and Ozma only).

Bandai's new action bases 4 and 5 have 5mm peg attachments as well. They run around $4-$5 each, but have to be assembled.
-
Closer to $270-$280, shipping included, but yeah. Still cheaper than a VF-31+supers?
-
At this point I've gotten one used from Mandarake, and then one each on order from NY and ebay. Never figured that NY would be the last to show. Also never figured that 33k for a used newly released valk would be such a good deal...
-
Yeah, I pre-ordered through ebay with a 20% off coupon, ended up similar price to a Nippon Yasan pre-order.
-
Is there a re-host that can be viewed in the US?
-
My ebay seller finally shipped my 31a out, ought to arrive next week. At this point I'm not sure if I even want to open it, with them going for almost $600 now. Maybe I'll just try and trade for a VF-0D, or a VF-11 to round out my Macross Plus collection.
-
I just spent about $100 to get $800 worth of HLJ private warehouse shipped to me (in the south bay). I wouldn't worry about it.
-
Same, must have spiderball.
-
I've had it take as long as 4-5 weeks, 2 at the fastest, usually around 3. To Northern California.
-
Between the hair and eyes, this looks a lot easier to convert into a Mirage.
-
I've got 1 each at HLJ, AmiAmi, and CDJ. That said, I think I might keep all 3. YF-19 is my #1 favorite valk.
-
Monster feels left out.
-
I use Distill myself, it works great and let me get a ¥33,000 VF-31a from Mandarake. Surprisingly the Aile Strike is still up almost 50 minutes later. Snagged one, since HLJ cancelled mine.
-
Beat me to it, looks like it just got delayed.
-
I checked it out, and it was more expensive. Might be due to having 2 items that were EMS only, and enough other stuff it'd have taken at least 3-4 SAL parcels on top of that. Still better ratio that most of my HLJ stuff. Usually it's around 1/4-1/3 of item price in shipping, this was closer to 1/8th.
-
It was more-or-less full up to the top. Just a few air bags to fill the corners. I was a bit surprised that I was able to ship it all together via EMS.
-
Yeah, picked it up last sale.
-
My private warehouse just showed up. All 7.5kg of it.
-
I'm safe, no urge to buy one. ...Because I already did...
-
As annoyed about the V-31a as I am with NY (not completely, as I managed to get one elsewhere), I'm not even sure where else I could go for the TWE items like super-packs and the like.
-
My ebay seller said they'd ship it out on Monday, it's now Wednesday and I'm back to wondering if they're going to ship or just take the money and run. Oh well, such is eBay.
-
Agreed. I'm still waiting on my Tomahawk. Plus the N-ger, Queadluun, regult scout, etc...
