Sandman Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 and sold out. Thank god. Was going to get another. Glad the temptation is gone. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Folks were probably also distracted trying to order this Metal Build; www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-005284&page=top But yeah, once the G and S get re-releases it's gonna be pandemonium. -b. Quote
joppewo Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Whew managed to snag one 25F along with the Metal Build Laevatein Quote
Sandman Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 The S for sure. I would like to get at least two. Preorder was open for 24 minutes. Longest time in awhile.

What show is that from? Quote
GGemini Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Full Metal Panic! http://fullmetalpanic.wikia.com/wiki/ARX-8_Laevatein Quote
Sandman Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Hmm... Never watched that show. Been meaning too ever since i played them in the gba srw games. Seemed interesting enough. Quote
Sandman Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Still up at cdjapan. Out of curosity, anyone who buys one from them - How much is the shipping? Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 dam I really wanted that laevatein. Congrats on people who got the 25F though Quote
warrhead Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 On CDjapan http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-109184?utm_source=MAIL&utm_medium=html&utm_content=NEOGDS-109184&utm_campaign=Goods FUUUUUUUDGE!!! Ami Ami was a bust for me. Same login problems and it was sold out before I was able to wade through the muck. Luckily I was able to procure one at CD Japan. Thanks again for hooking me up Skullmilitia!!! Quote
chyll2 Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 amiami was able to cart one, then failed to login until i get Error 503 Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 I slept like a baby. First time i didnt stay up for this. 100% sign it will be widely available at release for those who missed it. Quote
Mizicke5273 Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Was able to grab one from CdJapan, though I had to create an account for yet another webstore. I really dislike having to have accounts at multiple places to order similar items. I like having one or two places and use them exclusively. Though, with this hobby, that is impossible apparently. Anyways, hopefully Amiami will get more or HLJ will get stock, as I want at least one more, if possible. Quote
bruinsinla Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 dam I really wanted that laevatein. Congrats on people who got the 25F though Big Bad Toy Store has the Laevatein http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=BAN15702&mode=retail Quote
skullmilitia Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 CDjapan registered SAL was 16$. I paid 156$ out the door from CDjapan, I'm good. Now to sell, or not to sell the G, since I only need one or the other. Quote
Mommar Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 What is sold out, the 25F's? I thought that one was supposed to be relatively easy to get, what with this being the third run. Is that not the case? Quote

M'Kyuun Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Carted one on AmiAmi, as well, but had to register, by which time they were already sold out. Just snagged one over at CDJapan. 5000 yen for EMS shipping. Ouch! But I didn't have to register; Paypal and done. I never heard of CDJapan, so I appreciate the heads up. Skullmilitia, I'd hang on to the G. It sells for higher value than the F, plus, IMO, it's the nicest looking of the VF-25 series, even moreso with Super Packs. Thus far, it's the only renewal 25 I own, and I love it. If I had to choose, the G would be a keeper. Edited April 2, 2014 by M'Kyuun Quote
Mommar Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) I was only asking because after the second release people were saying they could still find a few of them around various stores after the pre-orders were up. Sounds like the Tornado Packs might have whipped up some additional frenzy. Edited April 2, 2014 by Mommar Quote

Saburo Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Did the re-issue of the VF-25F go up on NY? I check their site an nothing listed, other than current stock. Edited April 2, 2014 by Saburo Quote
joppewo Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 what is the scale of the lavevatein? how tall? anyone know? It's 1/48 and 180mm tall. Doesn't look like NY put up any of the Tamashii re-issues for July. Had wanted to combine an order with the 25F Tornado parts. Quote
Loop Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 I slept like a baby. First time i didnt stay up for this. 100% sign it will be widely available at release for those who missed it. I slept real good last night also, so glad I could sit this one out lol. Quote
juice14 Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 I used CDJapan ... too late for the rest. Wonder if they will cancel Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 I slept real good last night also, so glad I could sit this one out lol. i got a voucher refund for combined shipping from biginjapan for the 19's and i used it towards the tornados. i can't wait till july to throw these suckers on my Fn'G.

I made the mistake of ordering the F and G tornado parts on the same order, so I will have to wait until the end of Aug. Quote

David Hingtgen Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Personal request, but if anyone who has like 4-6 Altos and keeps some of then permanently in armor or battroid etc----would much appreciate if you would be willing to swap out a pristine ventral fin for my chipped-modex-number-paint one. I keep my Alto in "naked fighter" more than anything else----but that's the only time you see the ventral fins' numbers. Quote

yman1437 Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 $156 shipped to US, though by SAL...cheapest VF-25 I have bought! Quote

close313 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) If there will be a release of the 25G in conjunction with the G tornado parts in august, it should be announced this month and pre orders start on May. Im keeping my fingers crossed as bandai seemed to only bother with alto reissues. Edited April 3, 2014 by close313 Quote
mechaninac Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Yeah, seeing the F variant getting reissued again with no hint of a S re-pop, which should follow Alto's in the rerelease schedule as it was the second renewal to be issued, is very frustrating and disappointing. If Bandai followed the original renewal release sequence we should, by all rights, see the S follow the F, with the G coming out 3rd in line; but no, we actually get F followed by F followed by crickets... Quote
Deadeye_281 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Obliviously optimistically speaking, my guess for a 3rd 25F reissue would be due to overall preorder figures for the upcoming Tornado parts that Bandai received. Holding to that logic, the next reissue should be the G for the same reasons. The S should follow that, although I doubt any of this rings true. Logic is not one of Bandai's cornerstones when it comes to the scheduling of Macross releases unfortunately. Meanwhile at Bandai HQ... PR Exec: Sir, reports are in. Everyone wants the Renewal VF-25S rerelease. They currently resell aftermarket for approx $400-500 USD. We could make a killing in profits. CEO: really, are you sure? PR Exec: yes Sir, 110% sure. CEO: Excelllent, we're going to go ahead and not rerelease the VF-25S. PR Exec: Yes Sir, I'll...wait...what? CEO Exec: What other random colours do you think these kids would be interested in Jenkins? PR Exec: Sir...the Ozma...it's...it's an untapped gold mine... CEO Exec: Indeed Jenkins...now how about a nice fusia paint scheme with yellow ribbons... PR Exec: I'm out. Quote
