IXTL Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) More stock photos of the 25A. Edited June 28, 2013 by IXTL Quote
BlueMax Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Looking better and better! Now we need the pre-orders to be up! Quote
ff95gj Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 The unit in the official photos is panel lined... Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Is it? In the close ups, like the first and second pic, I don't see any panel lining. I think maybe it just looks that way because the panel lines are very visible with the color used in conjunction with the lighting. Quote

Benson13 Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 I hope they put this off for a while, I'm grounded from buying until after the Con. Quote
royard Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 it's at 275 now Hmm. I bought from him before I learned about this forum, so I got an ebay message from him saying that he's doing a sale of vf-25f at $225. I don't know why his ebay listing is still at the original. I suppose asking him about it wouldn't hurt. Quote

He's obviously a wallet raping tool bag and should die. Just buy from an online retailer. Quote
wm cheng Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 I've never been into the CFs before, but this looks so amazing! Also I'm so impressed with the engineering of the renewals now... this is a must buy, I hope we can get it without all the sleepless nights maybe even at MSRP? I don't dare to hope for below MSRP like the VF-171 ;-) Quote
raptormesh Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 I wish all of frontier's gunpods are in the color. What's with the bloody purple. Quote
Benson13 Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 I wish all of frontier's gunpods are in the color. What's with the bloody purple. Tactical is out, Alto is in. Quote
Scyla Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 The black gun-pod is still sparkling so not really an improvement. Quote
cinello Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 VF25F price at Amazon JP 18000 yen I think that the price is acceptable. Quote
royard Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 VF25F price at Amazon JP 18000 yen I think that the price is acceptable. That price is actually worse than the ebay guy's $225 if you include everything. (If you live in the US, that is.) Quote

I don't dare to hope for below MSRP like the VF-171 ;-) It's a tough thing isn't it. I do like CF schemes in general and I'd like to get more Renewal 25's if I can but I'm done with all this crazy pre-order crap. I'm hoping it goes the same way as the RVF-25 (just a little vigilance after release day will get you a retail price one). I'll be sitting out pre-orders entirely I think. Quote

erikos0311 Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Monday 1AM!!! Pacific Time!! Here we go again!!! Edited June 29, 2013 by erikos0311 Quote
neoexcaliber Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 I wonder if Bandai will reduce production since the VF-171 CFs are still in abundance. Quote
BuGS21 Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 How much usually would be the limit each order? Quote
Lupin The Third Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 I let Duymon out buy me on the VF-171s...not this time! Must buy 7! Quote
Lolicon Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Good luck to you kids on the preoders. I've had enough of the VF-25 and Bandai's preorder shenanigans, so there'll be one less person to compete with. I might pick one up if I happen to stumble across an open preorder below MSRP, but no more staying up all night for Bandai toys. Quote
raptormesh Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 I'm not even going to attempt amiami this time, will hope my hero HLJ will come through for me... Quote
xrentonx Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 I'll be up with you guys on this one! I'm in for two Quote
jenius Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 I doubt you guys have to worry too much. Cannon fodders sell terrible in Japan (as evidenced by the 171 Nightmare Plus and Yamato's V2 VF-1A cannon fodder toys which both went on super clearance before the panic led them to selling out. Quote
royard Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Seriously, no need to worry about VF-25A. The scalpers know, through VF-171, that cannon fodder units don't sell, so they won't preorder to screw the market. Many people on this board also said they are not interested in mooks like this. This is probably the easiest to get. Quote
TCracker Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 1st July eh? I am game. need to scorebat least 2 pcs. Quote
pikashoo Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 If I recall correctly this is an exclusive of some kind. Will the usual stores like Amir and hlj carry these? Quote
Scyla Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Repacking some of my Renewals and I came up with a theory why the wings are bend upwards. It's due to the packaging! So the Yamato toys being stored in plastic trays only with foil on the parts that are in danger of being damaged (like the position lights). On Bandai toys you have the whole toy packaged in a plastic bag that is then stored in a styrofoam tray. If you are not careful about it when you press the toy inside the tray the plastic bag will apply force upward when rubbing against the styrofoam. Since the wings are wide and light this force will bend the wings upward. An extended amount of time in this position will bend the wings permanently. I thought of this because my RVF-25 was packaged in a way that forced one wing to separate from the legs and was bend more then all my other wings on the Renewals. What do you think? Does it sound plausible? Quote
