    You're up for it for another HM-R reissues?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    If the first episode is already painful for you wait until you finish it. But kidding aside, I agree that this latest Valkyrie design is just perfect for your needs after 4 years of not getting one.
  4. Actually I'm not against the VF-1J in a sense since I want to have a VF-1J CF someday too. But it's more of the color I guess than the characters is what I meant. I love red on Valks but that's TOO red for me. Basing on Arcadia site MSRP, it will be like 50-54 cents atleast per tampo. I guess if you buy directly from Arcadia it will be cheaper. But you need a proxy to do that. So if we're going to use Nippon-Yasan's pricing then yes, it will end up from 85-89 cents per tampo. Man, why we're computing this? Good for you sir! Like I said new comers will benefit more for this Premium Finish release.
  5. Waiting for HLJ to post theirs. Hope Kairos will be featured in this book too.
  6. I totally agree on everyone's post here. And at the end of the day, don't treat transformable kits as a replacement for a toy that you can transform it all the time.
  7. Great job arbit! The only thing missing is to make those turbines/blades spin.
  8. Hope they make a 1/48 version as well. Then I have a reason to get the 1/48 Strike/Super VF-1S/A as my ultimate Valk Fighters.
  9. Good point. Now you're making me want for a 1/60 Votoms (6.34cm).

    Nice job, MJ! Good to know that it can be stripped and repaint.
  11. Premium Finish PO cancelled. Most 'tampo' still looks like 'stickers'.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Too much coffee, sir? To be fair, Bandai's Tamashii site posted those DX VF-31 Valks for an MSRP of Y21600. DX Draken for Y23760. So Y25000 after release is still not bad IMHO. I got my VF-31J after release at Nippon-Yasan for Y22000 so it's still in the MSRP range. The price you see for preorder night on shops are discounted. Probably one of the reason why it's discounted is because they order it from the supplier as a wholesale. And by wholesale meaning, a retailer can get a discount for ordering a large quantities from the supplier for resale. And in return they will sell it 'discounted' to customers. I'm guessing, if the PO discount is Y17000 from the original Y21600 price, then probably the retailer bought it for like Y13000 or probably half of the original MSRP price from the supplier. And if that number of quantities met the order just from the PO date, then we better expect to pay the original MSRP price upon release. In which case the Nippon-Yasan always do it beyond the release date. And depends if the price will go up if people are keep on buying it. But beyond the release date, it's not 100% guarantee that the retailer can get another large quantities discounted from the supplier like a wholesale unless the supplier produces again to meet the original price. When the supply runs out then expect the price will go up instantaneously. The law of Supply and Demand. It is what it is. It's how they run the business. You don't want the supplier to produce a lot and in the end they will have hard time on selling it. And to be honest, a 200 toy is nothing compared to Arcadia's 300 VF-0A that came with broken legs. Just saying.
  16. Waiting for the Premium Finish version, Spanner? @sh9000 Congrats! Back to 1/60 scale again?
  17. Sure thing sir! Assuming that I still have small space to squeeze him in. Because as F360 says in the Third Party Gundam thread: ^ And this is how they stacked in my cabinet in Battroid mode... For now.
  18. Yup. Sorry to disappoint you sir but I'm not a big fan of the couple.

    Ok. So it looks like the Arm Shield rotates during mid-transformation. It was fast to capture Hayate's but you can see the ones on Mirage's. But still that's impossible for the DX Figure.

    Now now. All you need to do is buy more stuff so that you will save shipment fee for your Mirage.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Ok. These snapshots made me think. If the Reaction Missile is facing forward during Fighter mode, would that mean that Mirage and Hayate cannot shoot those face-forward, right? I mean, looking at those pylons, there's no way those will rotate during transformation, right? Wait. What now?! You don't really mean that my name is worst, right? Hahaha! Didn't know we have the same first name now. Oh right!
