No offense taken. I just reported the news and also have reservation of this new design, especially the "gun cannon" look of B-mode. Although it is similar to the strike pack in some way. If it is made to match against VF-27, that reminds me what Ozma said about the VF-171EX.

New VF-25 weapon pack from the movie in model form: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=794710

Wow new movie weapon pack for VF-25. The big unit should be a model, and the smaller unit should be the 1:250 VF collection toy. source

My experience: HLJ: Multiple orders with SAL and EMS. Pro: Package their stuff very well. Well stocked and very large selection of almost anything. Pre-orders are not charged until shipping, and you may cancel them easily. Good sale price. Good web site. Con: Highest regular price. Failed me once with the new VF-1 book - pre-ordered but they couldn't get it and canceled it. HWJapan: Multiple orders with SAL and EMS. Pro: Package their stuff very well. Well stocked scale models and tools at great price - 20% to 30% off with Bandai and Tamiya. Pre-orders are not charged until shipping. Con: Ugly but functional web site. Poor stock and selection with toys. Angolz: One order with air parcel. Pro: Good price on sale item. Carry limited and hard to find items. Con: Slow at processing order. Search return non-sense matches.

HW Japan also have pre-order at 25% off: http://www.hwjapan.com/sh/BAN09100551.aspx You can search the model forum for feedback of that store.

#1: Probably 0. That version is a special final lucky draw item, only 100 units were made. #2: Many. That is the regular release so many got it and posted about it before. The "encore" version is coming: http://ngeekhiong.blogspot.com/2009/10/ich...s-frontier.html

Yeah it seems they re-branded it. I guess they hear enough complains about part-forming and high price for an all plastic figure. Base on this VF-19 Kai product listing here: http://www.happinetonline.com/NASApp/mnas/...D=4543112584588 It appears to say it will have perfect transformation, no part switching, and die-cast metal used in transformation parts that need strength and ankle block. Face have replacement part for "face guard open". But I think it will not have landing gear. The latest photos don't have any seam lines on the legs for them.

They have the same price at 18800 yen. You are using the after 5% Japan only sale tax price against the recently weakened US$.

DX VF-27 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=792987

A few more at http://ga.sbcr.jp/mreport/013846/ At first it looks like a VF-100, but the Japanese news site above say it is a DX.

Speaking of decal, anyone know what happened to these? http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...c=29445&hl= Did they gave up when no one ordered them?

On Milliya unit - toy have red "▲02_", the VF-22S model also came with red "▲02_" decal. Line art have blue "▲01_". I like this one better. Who is correct?
