Dobber Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Mine as well, thinking with super packs too....like the version 1 release. Chris
pud333 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I'm going with a renewal 27 with fastpacks. Mostly because this is wishful thinking. I NEED A RENEWAL 27!
Omegablue Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I'm going with a renewal 27 with fastpacks. Mostly because this is wishful thinking. I NEED A RENEWAL 27! In green please.

David Hingtgen Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 And I just got done painting all the missing bits etc on my green -27....
Graham Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Nah, gimme a DX VF-171/VF-171EX before a renewal VF-27. Heck, I'd even prefer a cannon fodder DX VF-25A over a renewal VF-27. A renewal VF-27 is way, way down on my personal list of desired VF toys. Graham
jenius Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 I agree with Graham. The VF-27 isn't as stellar as the V2 VF-25 but its still a good toy. I could think of many other toys I'd rather have than a renewal VF-27.

Graham And by the time they finish making all that stuff the VF-27 will be an old enough toy that people will actually want to buy it all over again.
Lolicon Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 I've love to get my hands on a renewal VF-27. Sorry, but I consider the VF-27 to be almost as big a disappointment as the original 25s. A well-polished turd is still a turd.
Reïvaj Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 I agree with Graham. The VF-27 isn't as stellar as the V2 VF-25 but its still a good toy. I could think of many other toys I'd rather have than a renewal VF-27. I agree. The VF-27 isn't perfect but still a good enough toy IMO. I'd like to see lots of other things -new and renewed- before a retooled VF-27.
Mommar Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 I never liked the 27 to begin with. I'd rather have a 171.
VF5SS Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Needs to be Alto's sexy white custom VF-171 http://experten.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2011/08/2011-af96.html Experten makes it look so nice in resin It would look even better in shiny ABS plastic

Edited February 14, 2012 by PsYcHoDyNaMiX
pud333 Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 That's really nice. Yeah, I'd like that too.
EXO Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 The first thing I'd do when I get a VF-171 is turn it into the RVF-171 Plus.
valhary Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 oz...ma..... my god what the hell is waiting bandai for make the DX vf 171????
ErikElvis Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Yeah aren't these topics supposed to be about the thread headline. It seems every time I post something off in a forum someone jumps in later and says keep it on track. Anyway Im happy with my 27 so far. The 171 would be a definite no doubt buy for me if they threw in the knowhow they used in the V2 25. I think they are awesome. Gonne be a busy year. I still need to pick up an V2 Alto. VF-4's a must, and prob throw in the 17D even though Im not a huge fan of the head. At least the 29 is paid for with fast packs on the way....
Mommar Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Well if we want to stay on topic I hope they get around to showing us Michael, Luca and a CF (no chance in hell) sometime soon because I want all three of those (and will buy the two that will actually exist.)

I'm surprised we haven't even seen a glimpse of the other Messiahs by now. C'mon Bandai, give me something to keep me going!
Graham Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I want the yf-25. I love the bubble head Yep, same here. That would be a definite buy. Graham
MacrossJunkie Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 I want Bandai to come out with a VF-171EX before another VF-27 as well. The VF-27 looks perfectly fine in fighter and GERWALK mode. It just needs a tweak to the battroid to use the same crotch angling lock and swingbar lock mechanism as the renewals, but I don't think the v1 looks particularly bad even in battroid mode.
Lolicon Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 The VF-171 is rapidly becoming Frontier's VF-4: everyone wants one but you'll probably have to wait 30 years for one. Given how stingy Bandai's production runs of the hero units have been, I don't see a 171 ever coming out. I hope Bandai proves me wrong since I'd love one too, but I'm not holding my breath.

The only problem with that analogy is the VF-171 didn't only appear in a twenty minute music video for four seconds. The 171 is prominent, Hell, the 171 actually has a hero paint scheme too.

It'll be made. But it will either be sold as a web exclusive or preorders will sell out in five minutes. Either way, MW will burn with nerd rage.

jenius Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 The 171 has like six variants that can be milked... If I'm at Bandai I'm making them.
Lynk Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) *waits for Yamato to make them* Years from now, that's probably what's gonna happen... Edited February 17, 2012 by Lynk
BlueMax Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Yeah... and we'll be really old farts by then.

The 171 is prominent, Hell, the 171 actually has a hero paint scheme too. Oh! Well, if you want to be picky about analogies, then we can compare it to the VF-11. Then the wait is only fifteen years. Feel better now? If we're going to see a real VF-171 toy release, I think it'll be years down the line when Yamato (or some other similar company) picks up the Frontier license. I don't see Bandai bothering with something like the 171. Edited February 17, 2012 by Lolicon
pud333 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) I'm pretty sure Bandai will do the 171 this year. It's just a hunch. If they do the 171 I hope they do the 171 hero version, but I'll take the cannon fodder one no problem. Edited February 17, 2012 by pud333
miriya Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I dont mean to be spammy but if anyone is looking for a VF-25S renewal version from a trustworthy US seller.... I just posted my unopened one on evilbay. I really wanted to own this toy but I simply can not afford it right now. I did not even open it and play with it any which is maybe stupid. However it is a great testament to my will power (not to brag). Thinking about it makes me really sad actually... What am I on about? I think some Yoshinol will help drown my sorrows.
