Lolicon Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Woooo another round of preorder madness is about to begin! Quote
TCracker Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 In before the 5 second pre-order madness. Judging from the need and demand for the VF-25F, this will not end well... Quote
mechaninac Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Awesome news. I knew it would be just a matter of time before reissues of the renewal 25s got announced; actually surprised it's starting so soon on the heels of the release of the RVF-25, to be honest. I eagerly await the reissue of the VF-25S, as that is the one I need to complete my collection; of course, I'll have to secure a preorder at that time... no easy feat where these Bandai DXs are concerned. Quote
Scyla Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I guess this is bad news for the VF-27 Renewal. Or good news because they do it after the reissues. I don't know. What I know for sure is that I hate the reissue because now I'm no longer one of the few people with these awesome toys. *cries manly tears* Glad to hear that. Hope this shows that Bandai recognize that the Renewals are highly desired items and crank up the production numbers this time. After the preoder slot for the YF-29 reissues I doubt that but one can dream. Quote
Rabidweezil Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 VF-25F renewal, reissue this July!!! I'm always skeptical about good news around this time of year... It's not April 1st somewhere is it? Quote
charger69 Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 >SOLD OUT< 5 nanoseconds of pre-order window Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Heh.. well I'm not too concerned about getting multiples of these, but I might attempt to pick up a second of each if I get the chance. Can never hurt to have spare parts... or collateral for a house payment somewhere down the road. Edited March 28, 2013 by Chronocidal Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) I just hope it goes better than the stupid nonsense with the YF-29 Alto re-release. So far, all of Bandai's "re-releases" seem to be more a case of: Bandai exec #1: "Hey, we actually sold more super packs than we did valks." Bandai exec #2: "Really? Well, let's just release enough valks again so the numbers are even." Bandai exec #1: "But how can you be sure everyone who bought packs will get one?" Bandai exec #2: Shrugs while the TROLOLOLOL song plays in the background Edited March 28, 2013 by Chronocidal Quote
mechaninac Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) what was sold out? It's a pun on the recent announcement of the July rerelease of the DX VF-25F Alto Custom Renewal; but as with all jokes, if you have to explain it the punch line is lost. Edited March 28, 2013 by mechaninac Quote
Scyla Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Hm Lucas Messiah is scheduled for June and the preorder window opened in March right? So assume that the preorders for the reissue might start on the first of April. Ehm I mean on Monday. *cough* Edited March 28, 2013 by Scyla Quote
skullmilitia Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Pre-order for the renewal renewal VF-25S opens 4/1/2013 at 3am US PS time @ NY and HLJ FYI. Quote
xrentonx Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Oh god so many joke posts that I can't tell what is fact anymore Quote
skullmilitia Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I'm thinking we should just collectively sue Bandai for giving us PTSD on pre-orders, then use the money to buy out HG and MW becomes the North American license holder for all things Macross... Then let Arcadia sell in North American for free, in return for free valks for members. Quote
Loop Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Are we sure that the Toys Daily site got that VF-25F information right? I am looking at the Bandai collector division website and for 8/2013 they are not showing the VF-25F..... I even looked at the other months from 4-9 and don't see it listed. I just really need another one for my SP set lol. Quote
ff95gj Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Normally the Bandai site lags behind magazine or e news letter. You can safely trust that piece of news. Quote
neoexcaliber Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) And the comments here make the news seem more like an April Fools' joke. Considering how preorders have worked in the past, it'll probably open up early next month. Edited March 29, 2013 by neoexcaliber Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) I gotta get it!!!! I gotta get it!!!! I will find a way!!! I can quit after this one........ Who am I kidding, hahaha Edited March 29, 2013 by Valkyrie Magnus Quote
David Hingtgen Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I *NEED* a VF-25F Yes, that bad. But more so. Seriously people---group buy, multiple pre-orders to ensure just one comes through, animal sacrifice---whatever it takes, I'm gonna do it. I have been searching for one since about 4 weeks after it first came out--never saw one under 200. I should have bought that 225 one, but at the time I thought "heck, it was like $138 with a pre-order, I'm not paying 225!" Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 so is it just the F or the S too? Im more of a fan of the S but ill take the F if its the only VF available. Quote
KH355hamdi Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Prepaid for RVF-25 and now waiting for June. Quote

mechaninac Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) Let the preorder shenanigans begin in T-minus 2 days, 19 hours, 30 minutes... Edited March 29, 2013 by mechaninac Quote
Dobber Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Soooo glad I got this and the S when they were I initially released. Don't have to go through this crap again! Chris Quote
Scyla Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I'm glad that I have one already. Now I can sit back and watch the World burn. Macross World that is. Quote
mechaninac Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I've got the F and don't see any real need to get a second as I do not double dip on the same unit in the same scale, although I can absolutely understand that some people desire more than one in order to display multiple modes and pack loadouts at the same time. The one I will definitely park my a$$ in front of the computer in order to secure is Ozma's 25S (and actually contemplating breaking my own no boubles rule because I have the Armor pack for it, but that huge skull art on top/back deserve to be seen too), which is a shoe-in for a reissue shortly after Alto's Messiah. Quote
Duymon Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I will just wait for NY round 2. Get two at around 200, one for armored and on for tornado if they ever release tornado Quote
Lolicon Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) Already have two 25Fs, but I'd like to get two more, so I can have it displayed naked and with one of each add-on pack (assuming an eventual tornado pack release). I wish the final release had the darker tinted canopy and the white landing gear like the prototype pics... Edited March 29, 2013 by Lolicon Quote
