MacrossJunkie Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 I almost feel like getting one and repainting it to make it Michel's VF-25G. Then taking my Ver.1 Michel and making that the cannon fodder. Unfortunately, the v1 25G's sniper rifle wouldn't be mountable in fighter mode on the renewal if you went that route, however. Quote
SilentCrossHairs Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) The VF- 25A woud look good with some Ozma heavy armor. Edited October 10, 2013 by SilentCrossHairs Quote
XFJ-01A Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Unfortunately, the v1 25G's sniper rifle wouldn't be mountable in fighter mode on the renewal if you went that route, however. Good point... Its just frustrating not being able to find a Renewal VF25G, so much so I grew content with my 1st edition. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 I'm sure they'll get around to re-releasing it. Just have to wait it out. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 has anyone gotten an invoice from NY yet? i have not.... Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 has anyone gotten an invoice from NY yet? i have not.... Strange that they haven't sent out invoices 2 weeks prior. I went ahead and paid mine about a week ago and it does say payment ok when I log in. Quote
BuGS21 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 That is pretty weird considering other websites have it instock already. Delayed supplier perhaps? Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Which ones already have it in stock? Quote
Gakken85 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 HLJ doesn't have it till the last week of OCT. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Which ones already have it in stock? Anime Export (it was under their "Released" section yesterday, but it's under "Specials" now). -b. Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Tamashii website still says 10-12-13. Maybe it's a typo. Anyhoo, saw a new VF-25G renewal on Amazon for $200 plus 14.80 SAL unregistered with option to upgrade to EMS while searching for a release date for the 25A if any of you are still looking for one.

Thanks for the tip! But I just ordered a used Ozma off Mandarake, and lupin just posted a SV51 over in the sales thread. Its like some higher power is revealing all of the models i've been looking for and decided to play a cruel joke and make all of them available at once to make me choose. Quote
Gakken85 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) I think its just that all of Macross collecting is in a soft market right now. Some people who went nuts in the great inflation of early '13 are selling some stuff back, and people who missed the inflation curve are cashing in late. Plus the fact that Arcadia is going full steam ahead. It's a perfect storm. Prices are pretty good. Pretty, pretty, pretty good. Not sure why Bandai's stuff is so hard to sell right now, or why you can find it so relatively cheap in the right places. I assume it's just over saturation and the recent renewal releases being so well distributed. It's a good time to be collecting. Edited October 11, 2013 by Gakken85 Quote

The vf-25f/s are still hard to find at a reasonable price, right? Many folks say that it is just a matter of time before they are re-issued again. But with the poor showing of the recent relelases (rvf-25, vf-171 cf, vf-27, vf-25a), may cause Bandai to put off any more re-issue. Quote

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) i got my notice from hobby search that my pre-order vf-25a is reserved in stock just got my paypal request and paid!!! Edited October 11, 2013 by davidwhangchoi Quote
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 i got my notice from hobby search that my pre-order vf-25a is reserved in stock just got my paypal request and paid!!! Same for me. It's been a while since I purchased a toy for under $150 shipped. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Ditto re: Hobby Search. Now for my other pre-orders. -b. Quote
skullmilitia Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) Anyone want my VF-25A preorder from HS? I don't want it anymore. It's like 154$ Shipped Edited October 11, 2013 by skullmilitia Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 The VF-25A ''light tan'' is it V2, V2 Renewal or V3? Quote
wmkjr Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 The VF-25A ''light tan'' is it V2, V2 Renewal or V3? I'm pretty sure it's the same as the VF-25G Renewal version (V2) with different paint scheme and gun. They would have pointed out differences if it was different from the V2, Only one way to find out and that is wait till people get them and start posting their impressions. Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Received Preparation in Progress email from NY Quote
Scyla Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Received Preparation in Progress email from NY Strange. Have to check my email account for an invoice. There was nothing yesterday and nothing inside the spam folder.... Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Strange. Have to check my email account for an invoice. There was nothing yesterday and nothing inside the spam folder.... Just received mine from NY about 20 minutes ago. Debating on paying (payment due by the 18th) since they've been unresponsive to questions about shipping on my last paid order. -b. Quote
xrentonx Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Just got my payment request from NY too... Haven't decided if I'm gonna keep this one (it's my third order) but I got some time to think it over... Quote
SaitouSad Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Wait, I thought NY doesn't do cancellations once they ask for payment (or risk getting blacklisted)? Or is that okay? Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Wait, I thought NY doesn't do cancellations once they ask for payment (or risk getting blacklisted)? Or is that okay? You have the correct understanding, you risk having your account closed. All depends on your history with them. -b. Quote

I have pre-ordered one for JPY 14700 but not sure if I will get it. Quote

I thought this is going to be released on the 12th? Also, technically you don't have to wait to be invoiced. Just log in your account and click the "pay my order" link. I know a member of another forum I frequent got his order cancelled but when he argued that he never got a payment request, they said its the customers responsibility to keep track of their orders.

close313 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) I need help in transforming my 27 & 29. I find it really hard to insert the cockpit in the chest plate and hellishly difficult taking the cockpit out of the chest plate. the pointy tip always get caught and it's always by a miracle that I manage to get it out everytime. Does anyone have the exact steps to do so? I watched many reviews in youtube and it always seem so easy : ( (for putting it in at least). Edited October 11, 2013 by close313 Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 NY just shipped my 25A. That was fast. Quote
