GGemini Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Another shop with more description: http://www.happinetonline.com/NASApp/mnas/...D=4543112603425 The text appears to say there will be color changes in multiple areas. If this has something to do with what kresphy just posted in the Macross F News section (VF-25のスーパーパックはリニューアルして新しくなる ), I think this will be the first "movie version" VF-25
twich Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Hello, I have a request for information on any shops selling Macross Bandai toys in California. I am currently in Buena Park, CA and tomorrow I am leave for home back to Spokane, Washington. I am driving, today I went to Anime Jungle located in LA, and after searching for it for 45 minutes, I finally found it, but it is closed on Tuesdays, and only Tuesdays...I am going to be going to Simi Valley, CA tomorrow and then on up to Vallejo, CA. I would really like to find a place that sells Macross toys, specifically the 1/60 DX Bandai Macross Frontier Valkyries and the VF100 Macross Frontier Valkyries. I dont want to go too much out of the way, but since my google searches have come up blank, and I am leaving tomorrow morning for Simi Valley, then Vallejo at 6am, I dont have much time to stay to go back to Anime Jungle. Is there anything shops that are near Vallejo that sell Bandai Macross Frontier Valks? Any assistance would be wonderful! Thank You! Twich
UN Spacy Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Have these shots been posted already? There are definitely color changes on the leg armor and understand of the booster packs.
jenius Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Can you draw circles where the differences are? I can't see them...
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) The sensors on the legs are blue now? XD Kind of hard to tell since it's super packed up. Edited July 8, 2009 by PsYcHoDyNaMiX
Cent Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 I thought those things were always blue. I dont think thats it.
Salamander Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Besides, final pictures of a Bandai product 6 months before release? Now that would be a first!
MasterOfPuppets Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) Hell yeah. I knew that if I waited this would happen. Time to finally get one of these bad boys. Edited July 8, 2009 by MasterOfPuppets
IHATEYOU Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 vf-25f super valkyrie up for presale on anime-export http://www.anime-export.com/u_productpage....rodotti_id=5394 describes the color changes as Color is renewal. -White place changes to blue glay. -Red place changes to real red. -Glay at Joint place changes to metalic dark glay. -Glay changes light glay on Super parts. have no idea what "real red" is, pretty sure i know what glay is though.
Graham Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Would like to see Bandai make the gunpod a darker grey. Graham
m0n5t3r Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 i would like to see Bandai stop f***ing w/ the fans w/ these "limited/exclusive" stunts. i wish the new colors would suck...
ff95gj Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Heard that the super parts would be upgraded in the movie. Let's get $crewed by Bandai again soon.
Cent Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 .... Are you serious about the parts upgrade? WTF??? Godamn, I hope this doesn't mean I need to blow more money on model kits ... I thought I was done. And how much more will you be able to upgrade the Armored parts anyway. I hope that won't change at least. I never liked Yamato's milking, but this is going to take the cake.

sev Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I know I'm beating a dead horse but I just want to express how disgusted I am that Bandai will not fix the hips on the DX line Valks. I see some cool stuff coming out in the future (the Macross Quarter, The Armor Plus Alto figure) but I can't bring myself to get any of it because without a cool Valk figure to go with them it's pointless. Why Bandai? WWWWWWHHHHHHHYYYYYYY!?!?!!??!
Graham Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 .... Are you serious about the parts upgrade? WTF??? Godamn, I hope this doesn't mean I need to blow more money on model kits ... I thought I was done. And how much more will you be able to upgrade the Armored parts anyway. I hope that won't change at least. I never liked Yamato's milking, but this is going to take the cake. I think it's a given that the toy would be changed in some way for the movie, i.e. redesigned Super Packs, possible change in color scheme etc. Afterall, Bandai is the major sponsor for Macross Frontier and they will of course want to use the movie as an oportunity to sell more toys.

jenius Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 DYRL paint schemes are pretty boring, I'm hoping the Frontier ones don't follow.
optimator88 Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Personally, I'm excited about new variations. Since when have limited armor and color variations been a bad thing. If you don't want it, don't get it. But the ability to do so is nice.
Graham Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 DYRL paint schemes are pretty boring, I'm hoping the Frontier ones don't follow. Bah, SDFM TV schemes are boring. DYRL schemes rock!!!!!! Graham
Ivan Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Bah, SDFM TV schemes are boring. DYRL schemes rock!!!!!! Graham Blasphemy!!!
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I don't think it was an entire new head, but new back half (?) and antennas.
Graham Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 i dont see a diferent head Looks beutiful. That photos is a bit blurry, but the head, specifically the face does look a bit different to me. Graham
HG Blows Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 I thought the only changes were non bendy antennas and parts swapping neck...
Letigre Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Earlier pre-painted images of the prototype seemed to suggest they also rescuplted atleast part of the head.
VFTF1 Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Looks beutiful. That photos is a bit blurry, but the head, specifically the face does look a bit different to me. Graham I concur. Can't wait for Armored Ozma. Good job Bandai! The one niggling thing I don't like about the Bandai DX now is widdled down to the cockpit - when you open it. Those stubs - completely ruin the realistic element... so... best not open the cockpit. But beyond that - nice. Pete
Dobber Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 (edited) HLJ has a pretty good description of what the new vf-25 super-pack will look like. Sorry I can't post the link as I'm using my wife's I touch and it doesn't have the cut/paste function. Sorry if this is old news. http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN960342 Chris Edited July 12, 2009 by Dobber
mitch Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 This the one you are talking about Dobber? Sounds intreaguing... Anyone good enough with photoshop to knock out a concept with the stated re-coloring?
Dobber Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Hi Mitch, the link you posted doesn't work, but I edited my original post with a link now. Thanks Chris
Graham Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Damn, the SMS base is gonna be painted on the Alto VF-25F bundle release if HLJ is correct. I really wish Bandai had painted the bases from the start. Graham
ff95gj Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 While basically I trust HLJ with their info, but somehow I doubt if the "modified movie version" super parts are all about color changes. And yes, damn Bandai for not painting the stands in the first run of the DXs. I plan to paint them myself, but my modelling skills (including air-brushing and painting) are horrible. I would even miss when piss, not to mention delicate model-painting.

eugimon Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Is the upcoming Armored Ozma getting the new paint aps as well?
