Sildani Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Hi, I need help with my 25A Super parts. I know I've screwed up somewhere. Basically, after all Super parts have been attached, the legs no longer fold and tuck in properly in Fighter mode, and the wings fit into the holes provided for the pegs in such a way that the wings are set at a fair dihedral. What have I done wrong? Do the legs need to folded differently, like the VF-1's did? Do the legs need to be pulled out to the Gerwalk position? Please help! Thanks. Quote
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Umm, late to the game is placing a preorder 30 seconds after it goes live. Quote

If I remember correctly you have to click the GERWALK-joint out one click and than click the lower legs one click upwards so everything is level again. It is basically the same as for the VF-1 Super/Strike-Parts. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 UV is what does it. That's what's causing the chemical reactions. Either way, it's been discussed to death I think. I don't want to collect boxes and leave them in the closet. Might as well not spend my money. Agree, apologies for bringing up a topic with a lot of mileage, I was just curious after reading an earlier comment about direct sunlight and then looking at how those items I have on display are situation. When possible I get multiples since there are items I like to have out, but I don't know if it's a collector's mentality or that of a hoarder but I like to have at least (1) tucked away in a box. -b.

Cdr Fokker Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Well, my 25A Supers are at the post office. Will be another few days until I can make it over there to pick them up, though. Quote

Loop Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Yeah I know that ultimately over time toys will deteriorate, but I try my best to avoid direct sunlight or even indirect in most cases. I think temperature can also affect if a toy yellows inside of a box. I would recommend leaving your toys in a temperature controlled environment if possible. Avoid storing toys in boxes in places like the garage or a shed. I also agree with not "just collecting boxes" you should enjoy your toys and at least be able to look at them if you have them in a display case or the like. Quote

Kanedas Bike Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Hey, we all collect the way we like according to personal preferences. This latest 25F re-issue is due in July with the Tornado Parts, it'd be nice if once that's released Bandai announced another re-issue that folks seem to be asking for *cough* S *cough*cough* G. -b.

That right...but according to HLJ, "This item is expected to be released in 05/2014. We will accept additional orders at that time if supplies are sufficient." That weird cause we know it will released in july with the tornado parts...... Maybe is their mistake in this announce. http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN964807/Sci Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 VF25F Alto re-issue July http://www.tamashii.jp/item_schedule/201407/ Nope, July according to Bandai. I think there have been other examples of HLJ getting release dates a little incorrect, but unless they (HLJ) has a separate batch to release these should be out in July to coincide with the Tornado Parts. -b.

I was going through and confirming the release date on the F re-reissue and emailed HLJ about the date they had on their page, here is their reply. Thank you for writing. BAN964807 VF-25F is scheduled to be reissued in July. We do not know the exact reissue date, but usually new/reissue items are released at the end of a month. Quote
XFJ-01A Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 So, I'm going to ask a really n00b question, if you have your collection near a window that only has curtains, thick enough that you can't easily see thru them during the day or at night, but thin enough to allow natural light into the room do you run the same risk as having your Valks in front of an open window? -b. I Know I posted on the macross display thread before, but the way my Chogokins are displayed, is on a Shelf I added to my hardpointed shelves on either side of my bedroom window. There is a stabilizing plank going the length of the board, so light doesn't hit them all that much, but there was a gap between the top and the shelf. So to shield them from the afternoon sun which shines into my window, I put up a thick sheet of black fabric to close the gap. Since Black absorbs the light, the Valks stay relatively out of direct sunlight. Meanwhile, my room is as dark as a cave.... Quote

close313 Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Out of curiosity, how many more official valks/repaints from Mac F & Mac 30 can Bandai churn out after the YF-30? What I can think of are : RVF-171(white and teal), VF-27A, Leon's YF-25 and the YF-24? Quote

Chronocidal Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Don't forget there was also a Millia VF-17-style VF-171EX in there, and a Gamlin-looking VF-171. I'd love to have one in red. Edited May 10, 2014 by Chronocidal Quote

joppewo Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 But it's lottery based, so it's not exactly a re-issue per se Quote
Murphy Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) I do need to get a 2nd set, but are they reproducing them again or selling left over stock? Edit: lottery based welp there goes me getting another Edited May 12, 2014 by Murphy Quote
RyuRoots Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 But it's lottery based, so it's not exactly a re-issue per se Sigh, I was excited for a second there. Been planning on getting an RVF but been lamenting that the super packs all seem to be at ridiculous prices that I refuse to pay despite the valk itself being affordable. Oh well. Quote

Yea it's wierd that the super parts/ghost set are so expensive now, seeing how the RVF seems to be going low on the secondary market.I wonder if not alot of people preorder them and now are rushing to get them.

close313 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Oh lottery? How does that work? I need the ghost drones for my 25A team Quote
joppewo Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 It's basically like a lucky draw I believe. Taken directly from Tamashii webpage: Lottery selling is a method for customers who ordered during the ordering period and have won the strictly fair lottery to purchase the products. *For Lottery selling, there is possibility that customers may not be able to purchase the products despite ordering during the period.

Kanedas Bike Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Lottery huh? What a pain-in-the-@ss. Bandai sure does enjoy d!cking around with Frontier releases. -b. Quote

Kanedas Bike Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 LOL - right? On paper I'm sure it looks good for them if the strategy results in strong sales and profits, but dang...at least try, or give the appearance of making enough of the variants people want so that folks can actually get them at reasonable prices. -b.

anubis20 Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 VF -25A Super Parts set arrived today from NY! Quote
aaajin Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 since people are still talking about the new VF-25a super parts, might as well ask this was just wondering why are people ditching their Ozma's super parts in 2ndary market?. Prices have been pretty low for them, so was wondering why.. Is it because of the yellow markings? And if it is, has anyone successfully paint it over with other colors? Thanks! Quote
Chronocidal Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 My guess is because Bandai are being jerkwads, and not reissuing it so people have a use for them. I imagine there are a lot of people who preordered the super packs knowing Bandai would never reissue them, and either never were able to even buy an Ozma, or only have one, and prefer to display him in the armor packs. He only used those packs in one episode anyway, so there's really no contest if you have the armor to use. As far as repainting them though, I believe Ozma's super packs are a different color than all the rest of them. No reason you couldn't paint over the yellow and use them on a cannon fodder, but they wouldn't match correctly to the other main characters. Quote

Yeah, Chronocidal really touched on it, the Super Parts for Ozma's 25S were never popular, even with the v1 DX. It's always been about Ozma and the Armor Parts for the 25S. I know that at least one member re-painted Armor Parts to match the 25A and it looked pretty good. -b. Quote

How cheap are we talking about because the cheapest i could find was $99 shipped. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 How cheap are we talking about because the cheapest i could find was $99 shipped. Wish I could find my order confirmation, but I know I paid less for my Renewal 25S Super Parts. Please keep in mind that this soon after they were released. IMO $ 99 is relatively cheap compared to how much the Super and Armor parts for the 25F are going for now. -b. Quote
