Shukenzero Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Will NY have more alto units on day one ya think? Quote
grymg Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Well, they still have the VF-171CF and YF-29 in stock so there is a chance. But those aren't nearly as popular as the hero valk. Didn't want to take that risk so I PO'ed at the 21000 yen markup. I will feel a slight tinge of anger if they end up at Amiami for 14000 yen on release day. But I wanted to grab another one anyway. The real question is how much can I realistically expect to sell my v1 for. I'm hoping for $50. Quote

They are sold out at all sites that don't mark-up. Quote
Sandman Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Lol V1 altos still hit the 130-150 mark. i generally see them for around $80-$90 without FP if you know where to look and you're not relying on ebay (stupidest place to buy IMO). I'm curious to know who these people are that are buying v1s for $130-150? The Micheal and Luca i can see as they come with the FP. Quote

SaitouSad Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 VF-171CF and YF-29 are still available because they are being sold with a mark-up. They are sold out at all sites that don't mark-up. I think what he meant was that will the VF-25F still be available after release, as with what happened with the VF-171CF - I posted that Amiami, surprising for a preorder centric site, had stock left. Off course, this could be attributed to the VF-171CF being not as popular. I'm of the view that the 25F would be scarce after release, and even if there were excess stock, they'd be swept out quickly. Quote
neoexcaliber Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 I think the VF-25F, VF-25S and VF-27 will be harder to obtain than the YF-29 30th Anniversary. Quote

A single incident does not make a trend. Quote
grymg Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 The VF-171CF is the only one that was available after release. A single incident does not make a trend. But it may be the start of a trend. We will see with the RVF, Quote
sreichma Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Wants to share this, if its common knowledge, ignore, but I haven't seen it so I wanted everyone to know you can use your bandai stands to get your VF-25 up in a much higher and better position if you flip the vertical mount. Pic is below Sorry, should have been "wanted" not "wants". Don't want anyone to think I have poor grammar. Quote
Sandman Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 So you're only using the one connection point. How stable is it? Quote
takatoys Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Yes, I did that with my Vf-171. A bit flimsy, but it can stand a 4.5 earthquake. Bandai did not add that method of posing, I guess it was not designed for that. Quote
sreichma Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 It's prett stable, a bit of a wobble but if its in a case it's solid, I just lined the edge of the vertical stand with some clear nail polish and it really tightened it up. They look a lot better displayed high I think. Quote
Loop Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 I did this with a VF-25S armored and had no problems. I would just suggest being a bit careful though moving it around, as it will sway a bit while handling it. Quote
Fafou Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 No body for help a neebie???mi My only question : i would like command a vf25g, i find one. but i don t like "naked". I have got a vf 25 alto with his superpart. i can order an armored pack for him and use his superpack for Michael custom...You follow? lol. My question is: someone has a photo or it s possible to take a photo with michael + alto's superpack? I saw on this topic michael's custom with Ozma armored pack. Sorry, really sorry for my poor english. Quote
Fafou Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Thanks a lot. But j would like a photo with vf25g and alto superparts, TOGETHEr..😹 Quote

Pic is below image.jpg Sorry, should have been "wanted" not "wants". Don't want anyone to think I have poor grammar. interesting. I never even thought to play with the stand to see what else it could do. i do think it looks better. i also think someone should recast these in clear plastic. the black is just so....visible. Quote
Duymon Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Almost all my mac f valks are displayed using that mode Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Almost all my mac f valks are displayed using that mode 2 altos and 2 ozmas, that's my dream in the future to have 2 of each... or maybe 3 if the tornados are released Quote
Scyla Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Since every Macross Frontier Valks seems to have gotten their renewal treatment Bandai needs to announce the Super/Tornado-Parts as well as the S.H.Monsterarts Vajra asap. I can't wait for Lucas Messiah. The 50 shades of green look awesome on him. But the Super Parts for the YF-29 are the next think I will fiddle with. Quote
Shukenzero Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Just hope they will release the super parts first to get a complete Mac f tv squad. Wondering if Bandai will bundle 3 ghosts with super parts? Seems to make the most sense, since for the v1s they did everything separately, but this time bundled the reaction missiles to armoured packs. Remembers the v1 tornado armour missiles we had to buy separately? Quote
wm cheng Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Hey, I have a v1 tornado without those missiles... I didn't know they were sold separately by themselves (I thought it was another whole kit). Can they still be obtained? Quote
Scyla Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 They where sold as Powered Weapon Set. Included two missile cluster for the Tornado Parts, Reaction Missiles for the Tornado/Armor Parts and a clip for the Reaction Missiles for mounting them onto the Armor Parts. I think the bundled VF-25G Messiah had everything included for the VF-25F they had to be bought separately. I think they where a webshop exclusive so the best shot would be the after market (i.e. ebay or Mandarake). Jenius has a review on his blog and I think U.N.Spacy covered them also. http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=4301 Quote
wm cheng Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Thanks, that's really useful. I've got the v1 VF-25F Tornado and saw the missiles accessories around, but thought you had to get a whole other full set. It's the only v1 I own. What would you say it was worth? Is it worth the $120 on ebay or is that just scalping? Quote

xrentonx Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 So can we take this as the announcement for Michael's Super Parts already, Bandai? If so, it's about goddamn time! Quote
royard Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 So can we take this as the announcement for Michael's Super Parts already, Bandai? If so, it's about goddamn time! Yes. Both Luca and Michael will have super parts for preorder (web exclusive) on June 14. YAY! Quote
