Mommar Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Bandai does not do reissues of Tamashii web exclusives as far as I know. The VF-25F Armor parts are very hard to find, but I got you covered Magnus! Err, didn't they already announce they were going to reissue the Tornado Parts along with a third Alto release next year? Quote
mechaninac Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) No. They're going to issue Renewal specific Tornado parts, not a v.1 rerelease, and they announced a second re-pop of the VF-25F Renewal, which was never a Tamashii exclusive. So, Bandai's track record of not reissuing Tamashii web exclusive releases holds true. Edited March 23, 2014 by mechaninac Quote
Shukenzero Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 After all the colour combinations and variations are sorted, they'll do bundles if there's still demand. Maybe that's why they're holding back on Ozma? It's unlikely but it could mean an armoured Ozma bundle. One can only hope. Quote

Maybe that's why they're holding back on Ozma? It's unlikely but it could mean an armoured Ozma bundle. One can only hope. I dont think so. VF-25F slready released twice and going to re-release again in July. I not sure is possible to re-issue for tamashii exclusive items but if they do, surely will have chance for VF-25S reissue. I think Bandai clearly knows that the demand for ozma is there but really cant understand they strategy on their releases. If the demand is there and they can make money why not just re-release it? I just find it funny... Anyway, I am still patiently waiting for the reissue. I cant see myself paying crazy price for it. Even those which is back in box also cost a lot. Anyone remember ozma has other parts apart from armored and super parts? Btw, I am new here and been following the forum here since last year . Quote
Scream Man Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I dunno about Macross, But they HAVE re-released Tamashii exclusive figures in other lines, usually with changes to ditinguish them as a 'different' release. SH Figuarts Kamen Rider New Den-O springs to mind Quote

They won't be breaking the limited release clause if they rerelease the armour bundled with the Ozma, and/or slightly change the colour. That's because it won't be the exact package, as the tamashii exclusive was armour parts only. By making it a different SKU, they tiptoe around that problem. Quote
anime52k8 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I really wouldn't be surprised if the VF-25S reissue is taking so long because it's going to be some sort of crazy bundle. VF-25S armored, VF-25S super, or maybe VF-25S perfect edition with both sets. Quote
skullmilitia Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 A bundled pack is the only way around the Armor. Besides who doesn't want the armor with it? It's pretty much not Ozma out of the armor, he's in it 99% of the time lol. Quote

If they reissue the valk alone it won't be good enough as that naked plane doesnt really look nice. Anyway, been waiting for 2 years and still patiently waiting for it. Quote

neoexcaliber Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Looks like HLJ opened up preorders for the VF-25F and G reissues earlier than expected: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN964807 http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN976275 Edited March 26, 2014 by neoexcaliber Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Looks like HLJ opened up preorders for the VF-25F and G reissues earlier than expected: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN964807 http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN976275 It's weird because a LOT of stuff is available for order. Hopefully not a colossal error. -b. Quote
neoexcaliber Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Ok that feels like an error. Who ordered 10 ozmas just in case? Quote
SaitouSad Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I could only order 1 Ozma. The system limited it for me. Ordering it just in case anyway Quote
neoexcaliber Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Seems like even the yf-29 alto, vf-171 ex are available. Definitely an error. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Same, 1 of the Bandai Frontier Renewals - I grabbed a 25F, 25A, 25G and 25S. It's insane because even Yamato Weathering Versions show this Dec. Restock. It has to be an error. Imagine all the long faces when those order cancellations come thru from HLJ. -b. *EDIT to Add - somebody at HLJ is getting fiiiirrreeeed, or maybe they just got hacked I have an update scanner on a few product lines and I just got the same Dec Restock on a few Gundam items (namely Metal Build) as well as Masterpiece Transformers Edited March 26, 2014 by Kanedas Bike Quote
CrazyDude Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Checking up on that now, lots of stuff in my PW is marked as Dec. restock, will let you know what I hear. Quote

Cool, can't wait to hear what happened. Everyone else is busy adding everything they can to their shopping carts. -b. Edited March 26, 2014 by Kanedas Bike Quote
SaitouSad Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Even received the order confirmation.Ah well, I bet they'll notify me later that it was an error Quote
neoexcaliber Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 All the product pages have been removed. Definitely an error. Quote
CrazyDude Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Back to normal now, might be a glitch to do with the tax increase next week. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Even received the order confirmation. Ah well, I bet they'll notify me later that it was an error Ha, I only received the Order Acknowledgment. All the product pages have been removed. Definitely an error. Whoops! But yeah, back to normal. And of the Bandai Mac F stuff only the VF-27 w Super Parts is available for order. -b. Quote
mechaninac Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I got order confirmations, with order numbers, for a S and a G. Now I await the likely "we're sorry, but" email. It was fun to be able to just add those items to the cart and proceed with checkout with no drama, though... Quote
neoexcaliber Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I think Scott enjoys watching us despair. HLJ is evil! Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Well I got my order in and confirmation e-mail Quote
Swoosh Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I had just opened my 25F armor pack last Sunday, took some pics: I love it!!! Quote
SaitouSad Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 what's that stand you're using in the last pic?My VF-25F turns into a floppy mess once the Armored pack is on Quote
close313 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 It definitely looks like its balancing by itself Quote
Swoosh Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 what's that stand you're using in the last pic? My VF-25F turns into a floppy mess once the Armored pack is on No stand is used, it can hold the balance just like that , I think it is because the weight distribution is better with some action pose, too back heavy if just standing straight. Quote
SaitouSad Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 ^You ARE the master of balance!Ahhh, I see. I mistook the back part of the thighs to be a stand ^^U Quote
