Received N-Y's shipping notification for my VF-25S this morning. Now to wait 2-3+ weeks for it to be delivered. Still waiting for some contact from Playasia; however, checking my account, it gives its status as "Preparing Order"... fingers crossed.

Regults we've seen from both Kayodo's Revoltech line and Toynami recently. While I'd probably get one Hi-Meral Regult, what I'd really like to see is Glaugs, TV Q-Raus and N-Gers. and 1/100 Zent soldiers.

Welcome to Macross World The monster, it is eventually released, will be articulated where one would expect, but it's a big NO on transformation; for that you have to look elsewhere, to the VB-6 König Monster. The HWR-00 Monster Mk II from SDFM was never meant to transform.

Is it weird accurate or is it weird wrong? How did the graphic look in the Anime?

DX Chogokin VF-27ß Lucifer Mass Production and Grace Custom

For the yuks and lolz? What better way to generate nerd-rage on dedicated toy forums? I keed, I keed... -
^ The Macross gods are helping -- themselves; they're just not on our wallets' side.
-
"Preparation in progress" for me as well.
-
If that were the case, why does it still carry the YF designation? Shouldn't it be the VF-29B at this point? Frontier and beyond has introduced all sorts of confusion in this regard.
-
Woohoo! My copy arrived today... I was beginning to worry a bit.
-
It could definitely be there just a toy lineage thing. However, since the tools for the VF-27 were updated for Brera's SP version, any possible release of any future VF-27 would be to the same specs as Brera's. Here's hoping Bandai does release a Grace/CF VF-27 v1.5.

100% reliable from my experience.
-
Now, that Monster looks like a must-have... wonder how big / what ballpark scale it is.
-
Crap! It actually looks far better than Arcadia's ... look at the intakes, for example... and all that tampo . Sigh... there goes more of my money. Note to Bandai: Make this a Tamashii exclusive so I, and many others, won't have to lose sleep and sanity during unbearably fleeting pre-order windows.
-
Neither have I. It's still too soon after release to worry. NY is almost 100% guaranteed to come through; Playasia... I've been burned by them once before, but gave them a second, and last, chance to redeem themselves; however, to be honest, I peg my chances that they'll deliver at less than 50%.

^ AmiAmi aren't anywhere near as accommodating as HLJ. As a matter of fact, when it comes to Macross merchandize of any kind, nobody beats HLJ in customer service. AmiAmi, on the other hand, actually include a postcard with their shipments that pretty much reads as Caveat Emptor.

Ladies and gentlemen, yet another member is about to open Pandora's Box, may the gods have mercy on his scurvy soul...

I truly sympathize with the sentiment; however, since all accessory packs, including the Armors, were marketed as Tamashii limited edition Web exclusives I'm afraid that, unless Bandai decides to sell VF-25+Armor bundles in the future, you're SOL, and stuck with after market scalper prices.

^Agreed, without the tan looks a lot less jarring given that the tan lines from the one-piece bathing suit clash so much with her untanned torso and the two-piece pink bikini. And like JBO, a full tan with just the bikini tan lines...

Payment made for one set. Let the sculpting magic begin... -
A lot of good balls do if what's attached to them turns out to be limp...

STAR WARS Merchandise Episode - 2
mechaninac replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Mostly true, but why did they have to put nipples on the ST's Cuirass?... -
O, but they are doing Anna and Elsa as well... at least according to this: https://twitter.com/Plasticronins/status/528402873743581185/photo/1

There is that. I'm quite conflicted regarding this announcement; after all, we don't even know if this Bandai version will come anywhere close to matching Arcadia's size and bulk (scale) -- as different as they are, the Yamato and Arcadia pieces match in this regard. One think we can probably be safe assuming is that the ankles will be a huge improvement over the VF-19 derived ones, and the pilot figure will be a pathetic gumball compared to Yamato/Arcadia's sculpt. I need to see plenty of pictures, in all three modes, before I decide to add yet another YF-19 to the collection.
-
It is a thing of beauty. If it only had a less saturated canopy, correct gray tone on the LERX areas behind the canards (easy to correct, I know, but I shouldn't have to do it), and the same surface finish as the YF-30, it would be perfect.

I got the shipping notification from N-Y for my one copy as well today.
