Discount Price (using discount coupon included with DX VF-25G) - 4,200yen (3 purchases allowed per coupon) Orders for purchases made with discount coupon on 27 April. Release date: Late July

No prob. The Speaker Pods, Super Fold Booster and 1/60 Ranka Lee (standing pose as seen in the pic in my earlier post, standing on the pink circle) are sold as an exclusive set from the Tamashii Web Shop. Should be released around August iirc, orders have not started yet. There will be a discount coupon/voucher to order the set online included with the DX VF-25G.

It can but the landing gears are too short to let the plane rest on the ground so it has to be mounted on the display stand when the Dragunov rifle is attached. You can see in the pic below that the rifle sits much lower than the landing gears can go.

According to Tamashii.jp's release schedule, DX VF-25G and RVF-25 will not be released together but one week apart. http://tamashii.jp/item/t_month.php VF-25G on 21 March and RVF-25 on 28 March.

Ranka Lee USB Memory Stick (4G). March release, 3,980yen. http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-89118-1-1.html The image below shows how it works, her arse plugs into the USB port.

Feb 09 reissues of DX VF-25F and S retooled. http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-88929-1-1.html Looks like Bandai have added extra holes on the top of the fuselage. Extra attachment points meant for the Armor Pack perhaps? EDIT: The VF-25 in the lower images are of Michael's G. So it appears the RVF and G variants will also sport this new holes/attachment points.

Yes it is 1/60 scale. As for the size comparison, see the pic in this post: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=714971 I'd say it's closer in size to the 1/60 VF-1 than the YF-19/21.

Stand alone Super Pack for 25S is still web shop exclusive. Armor Pack will be released as non-exclusive bundled set.

I'm not saying they will, just saying that it is possible and I can see them doing so. Don't have to get all jumpy.

It was black whenever Max's 1S was shown in battroid mode.

I can see a stand alone armor pack being made available through the Tamashii Web Shop.

If I'm not wrong, the blue Japanese text over the S.M.S. logo says that "the armor is removable type".

Black heat shield confirmed on Max 1S.

Yamato's blog seems to mention that the production version of Max's VF-1S will have a black heat shield. http://www.yamato-toys.com/blog/index.php?logid=97

1/72 VF-25G and VF-25S(w/ Super Pack) plamos set for March release. 4,500 and 6,500yen respectively. http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/iam-cybergundam/article?mid=19368

Some additional info from 1999.co.jp which might answer your questions: Info in Japanese Info in Engrish The Engrish makes it a little hard to understand but it seems to say that it can use the connectors provided with 1/60 Macross figures from VF-0 onwards and that the stand works best for the v.2 1/60 VF-1 series.

More stock images of the exclusvie 25S Super Pack from Tamashii Web Shop. Late March - early April release. 4,000yen. Available only to Japanese residents through the web shop (or for non Japanese customers, through retailers able to order from the web shop, e.g. Overdrive, Tokyo Hunter etc.). Orders opened on Jan 27 and close on Mar 2.

I've always preferred the DYRL 1As over the TV ones (except for the optic, TV ver. just looks better in that department) but the 1/60 Kakizaki actually looks really good. I like it more than the TV 1A Max in fact.

I'd definitely get one to display v.2 1/60 VF-1s but first I'd like to know if it can support the figure in all 3 modes w/ super parts. The low price and clear plastic make it much more desirable to me than the pricey launch arm display stand. It's an added bonus that it can be used for other types of figures as well.

Tamashii Web Shop Exclusive VF-25S Super Pack Orders open 27 January.
