valhary Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 ok looks nice but where the hell are the landing gear and the pilot
Twoducks Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 And again the picture looks dark pink to me like the Brera VF-27 ... Was that pic scanned wrong? I was finally seeing the YF-29 red-ish lately.
twich Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Is it just me, or does the shield on this toy look really thick and also that it might open? I wonder if there is going to be some gimmick that the shield is hiding....it looks like Bandai might be trying to pull out all the stops with this one, I just wish it didnt cost so much... Twich
UN Spacy Posted April 6, 2011 Author Posted April 6, 2011 Preorders for the DX YF-29 are officially closed at AmiAmi, HLJ, and HobbySearch. Good luck finding it for any cheaper before the restock.
Dobber Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Yeah, I was just thinking about pre-ordering one too. There will be more right?? I remember the 25's seemed like they didn't get more releases once they were sold out. Chris
Kelsain Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Sigh, I feel like I missed out, but that 15% is insignificant next to the ability to justify buying this anyway. Maybe someday...
s001 Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Not a big fan of the back mounted canyons. An addaptation of the Tornado pack would be better. Perhaps in a different color scheme. I'm also wondering why Kawamori-san decided to leave the anti-glare section (in front of the canopy) of the nose white? it looks a little plain.
Guest sh002 Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 are there any online stores that i can buy this from?
valhary Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 many but in the most the preorder closed but not reason to worry I have the feeling that we will find it in mass production the thing that surprise me is the people faith in this toy with only a few poor images especially after the design failure of the vf 25
Guest sh002 Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 hlj and amiami are sold out. where's another good place? any help? thanks.
Jasonc Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 hlj and amiami are sold out. where's another good place? any help? thanks. Those are the only places I order from, but if there's another trustworthy place, that may be good as a backup. I'm really starting to like amiami, even though they are sold out of this toy, it's very possible that they'll restock.
Reïvaj Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Have any of you guys ever bought from Anime Export? Is it a reliable site?
UN Spacy Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 Anime Export? http://www.anime-export.com/product/7007 I've purchased two items from them back in 2009 (a Bandai DX VF-25F and Megahouse Sheryl Nome). Based off of my two purchases I'd say their service was excellent.
LOW_ALT Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 ugh, why must it be pink/white? I hope they make a cannon fodder color scheme like the VF-1 mass production type or something...

You may need to check your monitor's color settings. It's red/white. While I haven't seen the movie, I do hope they make a CF version as well, like a grey color or something. However, before I bite on getting more of these, I'm gonna thoroughly check the quality of this first one.
LOW_ALT Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I'm sure my monitor is fine, I'm a marketing manager/graphic artist by trade All I know is that when I compare it to the Macross kite at the top left of these forums, the VF-29 looks a little off when it comes to what's truly red. Even if it was blood red and white I still would have to paint it. I'm always biased to the more realistic paint schemes like the Moon Shooters VF-22 in my avatar. But I'm with you on seeing about the quality of this one first. I had the movie version Alto custom and it was disappointing. The head wouldn't even stay up in batt mode.

But I'm with you on seeing about the quality of this one first. I had the movie version Alto custom and it was disappointing. The head wouldn't even stay up in batt mode. Definitely not pink. In the first few magazine scans the prototype was orange but the most recent scans are all a fairly dark and deep red. pink 1 (pngk) n. 1. Any of a group of colors reddish in hue, of medium to high lightness, and of low to moderate saturation. I would say neither of the last two parts of the definition apply.

anime52k8 Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 It's burgundy, maybe a maroon depending on the light. Definitely NOT pink.
GGemini Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) Found these pics in a magazine from Hong Kong. Haven't seen the ones in Dengeki Hobby, so they might be the same. (please excuse the crappy phone pictures) Edited April 19, 2011 by GGemini
UN Spacy Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Long landing gears. Check. A proper PPB knife. Check. All we need are pics of a new pilot/cockpit and I'll be set.
raptormesh Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Long landing gears. Check. A proper PPB knife. Check. All we need are pics of a new pilot/cockpit and I'll be set. Yeah, hopefully no blobs. Pardon me, but what does PBB stand for?
pipedream Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Yeah, hopefully no blobs. Pardon me, but what does PBB stand for? PPB, Pin-point barrier that is.
Black Valkyrie Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I really hope Bandai is considering to produce VF-25 ver. 02
aurance Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Wow, check out that thigh hinge! They might have finally gotten the crotch angle thing right.
badboy00z Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Does the YF-29 come in a different color in the movie?
raptormesh Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Does the YF-29 come in a different color in the movie? No, just that one unit.
valhary Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 improvement knife ok but with that pics i can´t ensure the long of landing gear we can say that is not chunky stile like the vf 25 but long.... I prefer wait to see diferent angles also where is the pilot
LOW_ALT Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Does the YF-29 come in a different color in the movie? Strangely enough I happened upon this version on amazon japan just now, albeit having nothing to do with the movie It was just mixed in with the rest of the photos in this listing.
raptormesh Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 That looks like a custom for the 1/100 model kit. Well, the stand and some of the built is similar.
