YF-29 Durandal Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 NY just shipped my 25A. That was fast. What store is NY? Could you throw me a link? Quote
SaitouSad Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Amiami suddenly has more stocks (probably cancellations n whatever). Man, at that price, I would have loved to jump on it. But I told myself I'm only allowing myself 1 CF.. Gotta leave room and moola for that VF-25S reissue, and the YF-19 Quote
Kyp Durron Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 My card was charged, and they're preparing to ship at HS. Can't wait! -Kyp Quote
mechaninac Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 HS payment request received, PayPal payment made -- not bad at 12842Yen with SAL (I had points to burn from previous purchases); now to wait for the shipping notification. Quote
Mizicke5273 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Placed an order with AmiAmi this morning. How hard is it to repaint the super parts? I've got a spare 25G set on order that I may try to customize. Quote
Scyla Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 The color coding is easy to paint if you're able to mix a matching color. The difficult part are the squadron markings since the CF unit has a different number then Michaels plane. Quote
mechaninac Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 I find it entirely possible, even likely, that Bandai will announce a CF Super Parts set in their Tamashii line in the not too distant future... it's like printing money. Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) Rakuten VF-25A for JPY 14700 http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/yellowsubmarine/item/4543112606167/ CD Japan VF-25A for JPY 14000 http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/goods/goods_detail.html?KEY=NEOGDS-90706 Mandarake VF-25A for JPY 14000 http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1424967.html Edited October 11, 2013 by YF-29 Durandal Quote
zzgundam010 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 25F is still at a relative low price though it sold pretty well and beginning to be moderate in difficulty to find, it still can be found. mandarake just sold one for 13,000yen (131usd) which is pretty good. I need to check Mandarake more often. Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 What store is NY? Could you throw me a link? Nippon-Yasan.com Try checking anime export, HLJ, Amiami, hobby search etc for lower prices sometime over the weekend though since NY already had a markup of $20 compared to the others. Quote
zzgundam010 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Just paid HS. Very happy to be getting my first vf-25 re-issue at a great pirce. Quote

Thanks and yeah I have checked HobbyLink Japan, Angolz, AmiAmi, Hobby Search, Anime Expo and Nin-Nin Game. I made my pre-order with a store thats connected to Rakuten.

anubis20 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Even with SAL the 25A was $141 from HS Quote
Mommar Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 What's with the face? $141 for any 25 V.2 is damn good. Quote
anubis20 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 What's with the face? $141 for any 25 V.2 is damn good. Thats what i was gonna pay at HLJ and i have a PW going so i think in the end i paid almost the same. Quote
Shukenzero Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Saw it in hk tonight...going for 1280 hk dollars...not many takers...it's cheaper than the rvf 25 was a few months back...hopefully they'll drop the price a little lower...box makes it look too tan...any reviews up yet? Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Thats what i was gonna pay at HLJ and i have a PW going so i think in the end i paid almost the same. i paid a hobby search too last night and then i saw i could've waited a bit... the dollar was down against the yen last night, today the stock market is surging helping the dollar make some gains back. if you want to look at it this way, if you paid @ HLJ last night it would've been about 150. (though today it would've been 5-7 bucks cheaper) ahh, 5-7 bucks, i guess i can live with that... but next time i'm going to check the news before paying. Quote

Price will drop if it doesn't sell. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 What store is NY? Could you throw me a link? Here you are; http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/5456-macross-f-dx-chogokin-vf-25a-messiah-valkyrie-regular.html It shows that it's not currently available for order and the price is marked up higher than those sites that others have pointed out and that you've found yourself. Just paid for my pre-order and finally received confirmation about my order of Armored Parts for the 171 regular/cannon-fodder. Still have one open pre-order with NY and hopefully that goes smoothly, otherwise between the markups and this last issue I'm done w them. -b. Quote
zzgundam010 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 cdjapan still has it for 14000 yen http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/goods/goods_detail.html?KEY=NEOGDS-90706 Quote
Mommar Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) I'm wondering when we'll start to see some pics of the CF's. Mine only just shipped this morning so I won't see them until the middle of next week most likely. Oh, quick question, does anybody know if the Super Parts for the 25G are still held up until the very end of the month? Edited October 11, 2013 by Mommar Quote

Mommar Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Thanks. Good to know I can wait a few more weeks to pay for those then. Quote

Cancel that pre-order that you have with NY and order from CD Japan or Mandarake instead where the price is JPY 14000. Quote

Gakken85 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Thats one hell of a frontier collection and display. haha Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) Hmmm... somehow the prototype just looked better to me. The toy in those shots looks so bland and just not very good in general. I think the dark olive color on the nose and tail fins looked better with a darker shade like on the prototype. I might have to try painting the stripe on the sides like this: I think some scenes had a stripe near the leading edge of the wings as well. As it stands right now, it just needs... more.

xrentonx Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 My CF just shipped from CDJ. Should be a couple days... Quote
Gakken85 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Yeah... Keep thinking this is a pass for me. Glad HLJ hasn't asked for money yet haha Quote
Kyp Durron Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) I think it looks great, and I can't wait for mine to come in. If Super Parts comes out for it, I'm in for a set. -Kyp Edited October 11, 2013 by Kyp Durron Quote
Scyla Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 I've paid for mine but I'm not sure if I dig it. The promo shots where much more pleasing (yeah I know I shouldn't take them for granted) but I had the same experience with the VF-171 and now I love the NUNS CF so maybe that will change with the SMS CF in the same way. Regardless of what I think of it I still need the toy to salvage it for spare parts. The hip bar will go on my Alto and the painted stand on my YF-29 30th Anniversary. Quote
Loop Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 My CDJ order for the 25A shipped last night, I just paid my HS one off this morning. HLJ still has not sent any sort of notification. Quote
xrentonx Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Still waiting on hlj myself...then I'll (re)consider ny Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 uscita la vf-25a http://metalrobot.forumfree.it/?t=66246048&st=45#lastpost Awesome pictures, thank you for sharing. I'm in the same boat as others in wishing, or hoping, that the actual color is darker than what's been appearing in pictures but even if the lighter shade is accurate to how it appears I still think it looks great and I'll probably pick up at least one more before I'm done. -b.

Valkyrie Magnus Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 I paid my NY. HLJ hasn't sent anything to me yet but I am deciding if I still need 2. Quote
