CF18 Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 It is just a material test shot that happen to dark grey on the legs and purple at other places. The leg armor pack will have extra thrusters on them. Quote
Chronocidal Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 Those aren't the packs, that's an unpainted prototype using random colors.... I hope. Given Bandai's love of casting things in the wrong color, I hope they didn't make the entire lower leg dark, and then paint it white... Quote

ErikElvis Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 Man that things looking sweet. I should ordered 2 when I had the cash Quote
mechaninac Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) The stand's display arm and attachment piece are huge honking unsightly monsters, but that Nightmate Plus looks oh so sweet... Edited April 27, 2012 by mechaninac Quote
Chronocidal Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) Yeah.. I really can't stand any of the display stands these companies make for their stuff.. Why do they always have to be so ugly and huge? Haven't they ever seen anyone make a stand with a freaking post that goes in a hole? It's not that hard. Edited April 27, 2012 by Chronocidal Quote
Reïvaj Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 [...] ...with a freaking post that goes in a hole? It's not that hard. It should to be hard, actually... Quote

Haven't they ever seen anyone make a stand with a freaking post that goes in a hole? It's not that hard. I at least would have preferred it to be a clear stand instead of straight black. But whatever. At least the valk looks awesome. Quote
VF5SS Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 I think they just set it up on a spare VF-25 Renewal stand. Quote
Chronocidal Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Probably, the gun normally snugs up much closer to the belly. Quote

Guys....Its available again on Nippon Yasan. Be quick if you really want it. Quote
charger69 Posted April 28, 2012 Author Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) I think they just set it up on a spare VF-25 Renewal stand. Base is different, I think this is what we will have. Edited April 28, 2012 by charger69 Quote
UN Spacy Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Yeah, I think so too. Sucks that it isn't a New U.N. Spacy base. Oh well. Quote
Graham Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 I had a dream last night that my VF-171EX arrived at the same time as the Yamato VF-17D. It was sweet unboxing them together. Graham Quote
mechaninac Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) Somehow, I'm not at all surprised you'd have such a dream; can't put my finger as to why... Edited April 30, 2012 by mechaninac Quote
ron5864 Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 What is the tail number on Alto's VF-171? His VF-25F is "007". I wonder if that will be different because it is not SMS assigned. Quote
Renato Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 It seems there is a lack of a thigh swivel joint and outwards-movement hip articulation. Quote
confuseguy Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 From the Ikebukuro exhibit Did u guys notice that the middle right side of the 1st picture, there is a blue figure??? VF-25G? Quote
Renato Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Did u guys notice that the middle right side of the 1st picture, there is a blue figure??? VF-25G? That's the 1/72 kit. Also, did you notice the 25G renewal has already been announced, and it's coming in autumn? Quote
confuseguy Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 That's the 1/72 kit. Also, did you notice the 25G renewal has already been announced, and it's coming in autumn? Yes yes....I cant wait to see it on photos!! Quote
anime52k8 Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 It seems there is a lack of a thigh swivel joint and outwards-movement hip articulation. It's got a thigh swivel in right above the knee joint. Quote
jenius Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 I think he ia talking about doing an A-stance in battroid. Quote
VF5SS Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Base is different, I think this is what we will have. the fact that the mounting cradle doesn't match the figure is kinda suspect I'd think the final toy would have something that cupped the delicate underside a bit better Quote
charger69 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Posted April 30, 2012 Ah you mean the nose/belly section! Yes, we need something that aligns better with the belly... Quote
ultraman zoffy Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) Just wondering (and it's probably been asked or discussed among the myriad posts on this thread already), but will Bandai's run of this toy even be able to satisfy the number of pre-orders being taken? With all the "Hey, this place reopened their pre-orders!" jazz going on, seems like retailers are just putting new ones up on a whim...? Edited April 30, 2012 by ultraman zoffy Quote
mechaninac Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 As long as there is no up-front money in the equation, if a retailer flakes out on their pre-order commitments either due to their over selling or supplier's inability to fill quotas, I won't be too distressed over it. Now, if the retailer takes payment first and then fails to deliver we've got problems. Quote
Kurisama Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 OK, this is weird - went to check my HLJ open orders - and I get this; Items in Special Processing The following items are being specially processed by HobbyLink Japan staff. There is no need to contact us about this. If there are any questions about your order we will contact you directly. - DX Chogokin VF-171EX Nightmare Plus EX (Alto Saotome Custom) (Macross Frontier) - Variable Fighter Master File VF-0 Phoenix (Variable Fighter Master File) Does this mean to say that... no, it couldn't, could it?! Quote
VF5SS Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 The VF-0 is supposed to come out this month We haven't seen previews yet though so it will probably be like the 30th I check HLJ, the VF-171 is still not ready. Quote
Kurisama Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Yep, just checked now - open orders page has returned to normal. I too double checked the 171's release date! Quote
