neoexcaliber Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 The interesting moral question that arises is the following: does the intended customer base suffer from NYs business practices? Indirectly, yes. Less supply for the domestic market just means there'll be a lot fewer units left for the rest of us. Although it might not be fair to blame NY alone, I doubt scalpers have the same amount of resources a company does. NY might not be pioneers but they're definitely a factor. Kinda like the current baby formula shortage in some European countries. Quote

They are in business to maximize their profits. Quote

I've always managed to secure a unit at retail prices and NY has always been more of a backup for me. Quote
Hikuro Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 What morality? There's a supply and demand for this item, and its not uncommon for one retailer to buy out from another retailer to secure stock. I did this kind if thing all the time years ago. If NYs policy is trying to get whatever item a customer wants, and they're succeeding in that policy then I don't really care if it came from HLJ, amiami or Tim buck too. Who knows, maybe NY is a rather very success place? Quote
Kyp Durron Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Personally, I'm thankful for NY, since it won't be till June, I can afford to pay the higher mark up. Now, all I'm waiting on is Ozma so I can walk away from this...that is, until they announce the CF VF-25F, LOL. -Kyp Quote
xrentonx Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Who is this Tim Buck and where can I buy Valks from him? Quote

I hope not.. im trying to secure a VF-25G, and a VB-6 Monster, after that, it's the VF-25S re-release and I'm more or less done with this... Unless they reissue the YF-29 Alto.... I might get that for completion's sake. And a YF-29 Isamu... And the YF-30..... I'm in trouble aren't I? Quote
Duymon Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 If they release a CF VF-25 my bank account is over I have a soft spot for CF valks >_< In the meantime having fun with my custom 25F Just have to source another pair of alto armor parts now for the altos I reserved from Otacute and NY Quote
grymg Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Can't seem to get past the "pay later" button on NY. Keep on getting this message: Hack attempt (Cart -> id_currency is empty) I tried switching the currency and also used IE and chrome, but no worky. Anyone else get this error? Quote

Gakken85 Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Somebody pointed out that they had the superparts for sale on this thread.They wrote me back after taking my payment for the superparts that they were out of stock. Kind of a bummer, but they refunded my payment. Edited April 16, 2013 by Gakken85 Quote
SaitouSad Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I still think bandai should made a yf 29s Ozma's YF-29 in the game was black though Quote
Scyla Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 A screenshot with a good view of the head would be nice because I assume it is different from the YF-29 Alto Custom. Also: black is beautiful! Quote
Reïvaj Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Ozma's YF-29 in the game was black though Now that's a beautiful bird! Quote
valhary Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I know my point is that unicorn head is ugly and the "S" type looks better unfortunately is a mystery because in some screenshots seems to be cyclop, others with 2 eyes like the kai and in other more with visor definitely need more and better pics for confirm but still think that looks better than alto and 30 scheme Quote
SaitouSad Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Oh wow. I wasn't interested in the YF-29 Ozma ver but now I might be. That head looks pretty good. Reminds me a little of the VF-171 head shape. Quote
NightCastle Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Wow!! Got to love that black paint scheme! Quote
Mommar Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) I think the Ozma scheme would sell better than the rest. Looking at those screen shots I kinda wish somebody who had the game could post photos of all the Valks/Schemes/Modes from the game for those of us who don't own it and/or won't purchase Sony products. Edited April 16, 2013 by Mommar Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I think the head unit looks a bit silly. It's got an epic dolphin-like forehead even more pronounced than the metal siren's from MacII that would make even Jay Leno's chin feel insecure. Quote
xrentonx Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Love that head and scheme! More "silly" for me please! Bandai needs to get on this pronto. Quote
mechaninac Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Nice! I'd buy that YF-29 in a second. From the posted images I'd say that Ozma's Durandal is not all black, but all dark gray -- different tones of dark gray, with true black accents; the overall shade is more akin to DD Ivanov's SV-51 than anything else, and perhaps not even quite as dark. Bandai needs to get on this, and Isamu's version, pronto... what better way to milk a mold, head units notwithstanding, than to produce all these great game derived schemes that everyone seems to drool over... Quote
Chronocidal Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Yeah, the head on Ozma's YF-29 is kinda fugly honestly. Looks intimidating from some angles, but it's big and bulbous, and sticks up in fighter mode. Just gimme Isamu's, and I'll call it a day. Heck, even the plain dull gray standard scheme from Macross 30 would be better than all the crazy schemes they come up with. I'm really tired of the random stripes and colored panels all over everything. I don't even care about having the proper head, I just want colors that don't look ridiculous. Edited April 16, 2013 by Chronocidal Quote
Graham Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Not a huge fan of Ozma's YF-29 in the PS3 Hybrid pack game as it can't use the back beam cannons except for special attacks (dunno about in Macross 30 as I don't have Ozma's YF-29 yet)and the head doesn't do much for me. I'd much prefer Isamu's YF-29 be made as a toy, that really looks awesome and hey it's Isamu. That said if Bandai made Ozma's I'd probably buy one anyway. Graham Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Me too, because the color scheme looks awesome, but I would leave it in fighter mode. Quote
Graham Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 If they release a CF VF-25 my bank account is over I have a soft spot for CF valks If the released a cannon fodder VF-25, I'd buy 3. Graham Quote
Mommar Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 If the released a cannon fodder VF-25, I'd buy 3. Graham I wonder if there would be a mad scramble for that one like all of the rest have been? Quote
usagiz Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 The VF-25A CF would be awesome if they sold it as a Tamashii exclusive! Come on Bandai! Take my money! UsagiZ (null) Quote
miro79 Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Is that the VF-25 CF? ( in the red square ) ----> Quote
xrentonx Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) CF VF-25 is green, I think...more olive drab. Edited April 18, 2013 by xrentonx Quote
Kurisama Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Yeaup. EDIT: my 'yeaup' was for the circled (squared) pic - you see it a few times in the OVA, it's more brown/teal than green or olive drab. Edited April 18, 2013 by Kurisama Quote
