zzgundam010 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 And I think most of us will stay away from NY's inflated prices this time. NY was able to charge a higher price due to supply and demand. But with the formula changing, I really don't see how that can do that anymore. Quote
CF18 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Waitaminute! How do we know it's not some shenanigans like last time? Remember that, guys? Toysdaily...grrrrrr! That said, if this is for reals then I'm down for two easy. That post also links to Bandai's own site. It's real. http://tamashii.jp/special/pickup/201310/ Quote
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Must have. It's gorgeous. :ohmy: Quote
Gakken85 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) I'm not crazy about Mike's frontier valk. The dark blue just won't display well and it has no real distinguishing features other than the sniper rifle. I think once I get an Ozama with armor parts, and super parts for my Alto renewal I'll be done with Frontier. I kind of like this canon fodder though. Edited June 21, 2013 by Gakken85 Quote
grymg Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 From the pics there is nothing special with this valk - no sniper rifle or grappling hooks, no extra pilot, no radar dish, no Ex-Gear Alto. If MSRP is in the 12000y range I might bite. But not for 14000y like the other VF-25's. Quote
Mommar Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 ERMAGERD - YUSSSSS!!! Cannot wait. I lurve me some cannon fodder schemes! Every time I think "I'm done with valks", boom - another must buy... LMAO, the other day I said when the RVF-25 came in "this is the last one." In two days new YF-19 and now VF-25CF... Quote
Shukenzero Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Brera has a sick valk. Got the sv51 all over it. Can't wait to see what the yf 30 dx will look like. Quote
wm cheng Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I love that grey/tan - is not so saturated, much more realistic. Damn, I hope its not going to be another pre-order ordeal again. Quote
Mommar Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Last time I mentioned that I was not done until the CF 25's come out some people on here were like "pfft, it won't happen". Now I can still hope for a RVF-171, but I am not sure if Bandai will learn from the 171 fiasco. Either way I am definitely getting a 25A or 3. Now I wonder if I over ordered the Alto re release. I was one of them. Thank God I was wrong. I'll still be skeptical of an RVF-171 until I see it but I would be supremely happy with one of those as well. Quote
raptormesh Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Heh my RVF-25 won't be piloted by that lil kiddo in my universe. Gonna see if i can't change the squadron as well. Hmm I might source some EA-18G decals. Quote
UN Spacy Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 Hopefully the cannon fodder 25 variants are as easy to find as the 171's. Quote

Thanks, man.I just realized the gun is black like Ozma's instead of that ugly purple! This thing just gets better and better Edited June 21, 2013 by xrentonx Quote
Scream Man Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 if Messihs were cheaper, I might go for it, but I Cant see any real need for it. Nice neough looking plane though. The grey and white is cool. Shame it doesnt come with stickers for the numbers instead of all saying 027. And I wish people would stop talking about the 25S re-issue like its a fact, because I spent ages trying to find info on it last time, only to discover its just wishful thinking. Quote
Shukenzero Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Wonder if they'll bring out a dx galaxy, since they r being so unpredictable at the moment. Quote
skullmilitia Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 I like the real Worldly colors of the CF. I'm down for two. Quote
Falcon Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 So when will the wait begin? Some time in the next fortnight? Quote
BlueMax Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) I'm digging the colors... And somehow I have a softspot for the generic cannon fodders... And this one lookes like the colors of the Iranian Air Force, the only place in the world where the F-14 hasn't been retired ( as far as I know) Edited June 22, 2013 by BlueMax Quote
Graham Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Fantastic, I'm all over this. I've wanted a cannon fodder VF-25A DX for so long. I'm gonna get three. Graham Quote
mechaninac Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 I'm in for one, and only one, if I can get it at or bellow MSRP... sick and tired of the Bandai DX preorder shortages and mark-up shenanigans from places like N-Y and Nin-Nin Game. I've gotten burned twice this year, but not again. Quote
ErikElvis Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Looks awesome. Depending on when it releases I'll try an get three. Quote
Rabidweezil Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Has it been confirmed the VF-25A isn't a Webshop exclusive or are we still waiting for that info? I would be shocked if it was not. CF Valks don't seem to do terribly well in the open market. Of course I'm all for it being an exclusive since they seem to be easier to get. Quote
Loop Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 I would rather it be an exclusive also, but so far none of the renewals or CF's have been treated that way. My guess is that it will be put on pre-order at all the regular places and we will prob miss out on sleep if we want to pre-order it. If we pre-order it the prices will most likely be inflated, but if we wait they will maybe go on sale after release? Quote
Rabidweezil Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) I would rather it be an exclusive also, but so far none of the renewals or CF's have been treated that way. Although not a renewal, the Green VF-27 was a webshop exclusive. Edited June 22, 2013 by Rabidweezil Quote
Loop Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Although not a renewal, the Green VF-27 was a webshop exclusive. You are right about that, but after the VF-171 Alto release it would seem the VF-171 CF release would have been a web shop exclusive. They surprised the hell out of me when it was a general release. We can all hope though right? I love how the 25A is getting a black gun pod like the Ozma release. Edited June 22, 2013 by Loop Quote
valid Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 don't buy it! it's not the main character valk! it's not worth-ed! *i hope this will post will make my change getting the valk a lot more bigger Quote
505thAirborne Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 This thread needs some pictures!! This is the VF-25 I have been waiting for!!! Might be the first time I ever go big & get two. Quote
Loop Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 don't buy it! it's not the main character valk! it's not worth-ed! *i hope this will post will make my change getting the valk a lot more bigger When I am into a toy line I tend to catch em all if I can This thread needs some pictures!! This is the VF-25 I have been waiting for!!! Might be the first time I ever go big & get two. I know I keep going over this in my head. I want 3, but I wish I could change the modex so I have 3 different units.... We will see come pre-order day. Quote
Chronocidal Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) You know, you could very easily strip off the numbers and just use some of the stickers from the 1/72 kits. They should fit nicely, especially on the gear doors.. the tampo printing on them has always felt a bit too big for me. The kit stickers can be pretty terrible, but the white/black labels are decent. Edited June 22, 2013 by Chronocidal Quote
Scream Man Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Yeah it's the tampo thats holding me back so much. Quote
mechaninac Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 So, with the announcement of the upcoming DX VF-25A, it's now official: The Messiah is the most prolific VF design since the VF-1 Valkyrie in Macross 1/60 toy history. Quote
Shukenzero Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Want a Klan red version. Then it'll be max miria all over again. Quote
Chronocidal Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Want a Klan red version. Then it'll be max miria all over again. This. Please. It feels so empty without a red mech matching the blue one. Quote
Gakken85 Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Who doesn't love a giant woman? With giant... erm gunpods? Quote
