Mommar Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I still want to get the YF-25 prototype in this mold. Your best bet for that is probably to fabricate your own parts and modify one of these. Quote
Benbot Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 You KNOW if Bandai made one it would sell out immediately. They're still in the business of making money, right? Quote
jenius Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Did the YF-25 ever get any air time though? Quote
Murphy Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I don't recall seeing the yf-25 in the TV show, but it was in the last movie sitting in the hanger if I recall correctly. Quote
aceoftherebellion Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 It makes a brief background cameo and was playable in the video game, as I recall. Not a whole lot there. IDK, I wouldn't put any real money on Bandai making a toy of that one any time soon. Quote
Mommar Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 All it would take is a new set of wings, wouldn't it? Quote

Scyla Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) So in June it is.... When do we expect the pre-order windows go up? Next Monday? Edited February 28, 2013 by Scyla Quote
charger69 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 My left clicks are ready for nippon-yasan and anime-export Quote
Captain Jack Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Nice, was waiting for the renewal version of this one, now just gotta figure out how to grab it for cheap! Quote
LuizSSB Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) So in June it is.... When do we expect the pre-order windows go up? Next Monday? The night between yesterday and today, Bandai has released photos for all the toys that will be released in June (including SRC Grendizer, yay). IIRC, everytime this happens, pre-orders for said toys go live the next day, so I'd expect pre-orders for ther RVF-25 to open between today and tomorrow. Edit: But I forgot that tomorrow is Saturday in Japan. In this case, I don't know what to think. Edit2: I forgot what day of the week we are in. Bioclock completely messed up. Edited February 28, 2013 by LuizSSB Quote
Tober Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Tomorrow is Friday in Japan. Pre-order should be up in about 17 hours, roughly. Quote
Scyla Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Awesome I planned to get up early do to some work, maybe I see it happen *sets the alarm to 5 am* Quote
Captain Jack Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) So what price will these likely be going for (in Yen)? I've become so used to baying rip-off eBay prices I don't even remember what's a good retail deal now? Edited February 28, 2013 by Captain Jack Quote
Tober Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 RRP is 14,700jpy. If you're fast enough you could get 10-30% off. Quote
Captain Jack Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Thanks, I gotta say, having become somewhat used to paying eBay prices that's music to my ears. Quote
Scyla Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I'm not sure that you are able to score one even if you see the pre-order happen (assuming that you order on-line). Bandai will release fewer units because Luca has not as much fans as Alto, Ozma or Michael have. The people who have the previous three Renewals want definitely one to complete the squad. The people who could not score one until know want to get one that have at least one toy of the Renewal mode. And all the scalpers who see how well they sell on the after-market want so secure as many units possible to make a profit. As a dirty Gaijin you can only lose. *loads the NY website* Oh and I welcome all forum members so continue the debate that ended after the pre-order window for the VF-171 CF. Quote
TCracker Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Yessss......the RVF-25! Will definitey get it! Meanwhile.... Quote
miro79 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 at what time ( in japan) do you expect preorder to open? i really want 1 of these. Quote
Mommar Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Oh, I hope Nippon Yasan will have them. I can't stay up until midnight or whatever so their slightly price-gouge-y method is my only hope. $160 MSRP huh? Boy, I remember when that used to be considered expensive. Edited February 28, 2013 by Mommar Quote
Scyla Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 For this price tag I expect at least one Ghost drone. Maybe we get three and no gun pod. That would be really kind from Bandai. Quote
Mommar Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Don't expect anything of the sort. You get the RVF-25 and a gunpod. Quote
xrentonx Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 at what time ( in japan) do you expect preorder to open? i really want 1 of these. That's the FUN part! Nobody knows! Quote
Scyla Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Don't expect anything of the sort. You get the RVF-25 and a gunpod. Maybe you're right but all Renewals came with some gimmick: Alto flying in EX-Gear, a Ranka pilot figure, awesome grappling hooks. I can't think what an appropriate gimmick for Luca would be besides a Ghost drone. Plus he does not have a gun-pod in the show if I'm not mistaken. But maybe the price tag comes from the added bulk through the rad-dome and -fin. I guess I have to find out by ordering one. Quote

xrentonx Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Yeah we're definitely not getting a drone in the box here Edited February 28, 2013 by xrentonx Quote

xrentonx Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Google Vietnamese coffee bikini san jose Never been to one myself but I'm Viet and they're a thing in San Jose Quote
Mommar Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I guess I'll have to wait until I'm not at work to do that. Quote
Major Focker Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 San Jose, huh? guess that gives me a good excuse to visit my parents. <Arrives from airport> Hi ma! looking good! i'm just gonna grab some coffee and catch up with my little brother here... Quote
