Well there were too many questions and options already, and it's supply were much less limited then thanks to a second batch so most could get them at regular price - HLJ listed it at regular discount for a week after release, unlike the others. I remembered because I got mine from AmiAmi after release at no discount and if HLJ listed it earlier I could saved a bit.

http://p-bandai.jp/tamashiiwebshouten/item-1000014712/ "胸部ミサイルハッチは組み換えで内開き、外開きの両方を再現しています。" Suppose to come with parts to let them open either way you choose.

The poster image from locusHK link has poor quality but it has a few extra bits - landing gears and open cockpit.
-
Well I went looking around and see one other HK shop listed it: http://www.locushk.com/?sp=&p=6&cat2=1509&cat1=156&cat0=24&id=4462&cat1=156&cat0=24&new=&more=〈=en That's about US$195 + shipping

http://www.nippon-yasan.com/figurines-autres/1132-macross-f-super-parts-set-for-dx-chogokin-vf-25f-saotome-alto-custom-renewal-ver.html http://www.anime-export.com/product/7777 http://yokattaweb.jp/store/preorder/291-super-parts-VF-25F-alto.html It will be hard to find it cheap now since Bandai already closed the web order for the super parts. All that can be listed are what the individual shops ordered and they can't order more from Bandai.

More 1kuji.... http://www.moeyo.com/2012/03/banpaku2012.html Wave 5 right? Will it ever end?
-
Yes but Graham also mentioned the street price for the DXv2 VF-25F in Hong Kong is about HK$2000, i.e. about the same as eBay. I don't know what kind of price real shops in Japan are charging, but it is looking crazy at Amazon.co.jp.
-
Well I can't understand where you get that. The YF-29 and VF-25S are hard to find in Hong Kong. The YF-29 reissue pre-order is just messy with some shop refunding quickly after they took too much pre-orders.
-
Let's check: DXv1 VF-25F - 12,000 yen, no add-on, no stand DXv1 VF-25G - 16,000 yen, super pack and stand DXv1 VF-25S bundle - 18,000 yen, armor pack and stand DXv1 super pack with stand - 4,000 yen DXv1 armor pack with stand - 6,500 yen DXv2 VF-25F or VF-25S - 14,000 yen, stand DXv2 super pack - 4,725 yen DXv2 armor pack - 8,190 yen It's not that bad but if you use US$ - see how the rate changed in 5 years. The price for the add-on increased quite a bit and we only have a few photos to look at before deciding on ordering them. We will see if they are worth the price. You can't really compare with this line since there are big difference in size of each set. They also have a serious supply shortage with 00 and Unicorn with eBay price as crazy as DX YF-29.

I am interested to see how many are actually buying or trying to buy those valk that is some how getting so hard to get, and story on which shops that are not really reliable for pre-order. Also may be we can let the main toy topic to focus on the toy instead of who is to blame for not taking our money.

I installed this addon today to scan all the shops, DDOS style: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/update-scanner/ Around 9pm EST today, anime-export pre-order list was updated with this: They were adding one item every few minutes, until around 10:10pm the DX VF-171EX is up (10% off, not the usual 20%) http://www.anime-export.com/product/8512 It is still open at 10:18pm...
-
I will just look at the high-res photos for now. There are quite a bit of photoshopping going on: B mode pic 1: We should see more stuff on the tip of the wings instead of all white. G mode pic: You can see something between the legs, probably the display stand.
-
Slightly updated too: You can't see the belly mounted gun on the 1st poster.
-
Well he kind of hated it in the show, due to it's lower performance. This release leave Shin the only one hero valk incomplete at 1:60. Poor Shin. The price is confirmed at 14,000 + tax. From the BD scan linked above:
-
eBay charges fee you know.

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10117655 vs http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10045767 ? The blue box one is a 2009/2010 reissue.
-
The clean VF-171EX was shown in Macross Chronicle 37. I can only find very low-res scans: But here is a high-res art of the armored version: One thing I am not sure about is the landing gears on the legs. Green circled the seam lines and it is the same location for landing gears on VF-17, but how does it work with armors on? The red circled part may be an alternative but it is already painted as standard micro missile ports. Screen shot from episode 24 shows landing gears with armors on, but it looks like they just draw them to the end of the unit without giving much thought.
-
Look closely at the CG - it is suppose to keep the wing mounted weapon even in B mode. But the chance of getting wing mounted weapons is about 0. We can see here the bottom of wings are very clean:
-
But Bandai will just use light blue plastic like the DX Macross Quarter, not metallic blue like the Wave SDF-1.
-
Crazy news. But the VF-171EX always come with the extra weapons on screen. Standard for Bandai - release base unit at lower price, then the add-on for 50% more. I expect the web limited super pack to be announced around June to boost sale. No need. That gun is external in fighter mode.
-
It is specified as the VF-1S TV version: http://www2.moeyo.com/img/12/02/14/8/803.html
-
Yes and with web based pre-order (which I expect HLJ will provide for us too) Yamato knows exactly how much they need to make.
-
Oh a light grey gun! Will it come with body colored missiles like the low-vis?
-
More colourful than the fan made art at m3: http://www.macross2.net/m3/sdfmacross/variant-vf-1a-darkbird.htm Great news. At the very least it tells me switching factory does not stop them from making more 1:60v2 VF-1, so bring us some VE-1 reissue please?
-
http://ga.sbcr.jp/mgangu/019347/ They expect to release it in 2012 December, no price yet.
