Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Anyone hoping Yamato switches to a more vibrant blue for the VF17D stripes instead of the light blue shown on the protom Quote
Chronocidal Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Seriously, a bundle? Score! Though.. not for my wallet. Quote
Murphy Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Sweet!!! But what if we want to dress up the 17s? Quote
lechuck Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Not sure if the poster pictures are old, but the head still looks very ugly. Frankenstein or bald Vader... though decisions... Quote
IXTL Posted May 17, 2012 Author Posted May 17, 2012 Not sure if the poster pictures are old, but the head still looks very ugly. Frankenstein or bald Vader... though decisions... The head design in the poster is the same as the one which was hotly debated here some months back. I wonder if Yamato took note of the feedback Graham compiled and improved the sculpt on the final version. Quote
kamadoma Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) I don't like the fast packs much. I wish they'd release the 17D without them too. Has there even been a 17D with fast packs in Mac7? Edited May 17, 2012 by kamadoma Quote

kamadoma Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Thanks for pointing out. Well at least now I find it reasonable for them to release it bundled. Still not liking the packs though. Quote
IXTL Posted May 17, 2012 Author Posted May 17, 2012 Nobody has commented on the WHITE stripes yet. They look white in most pics except the promo poster from Wonderfest in the opening post of this thread. I think the stripes are a very light blue that doesn't show up well in photos. Quote
Mommar Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Interesting. Based on the box art there I think Fighter and Gerwalk look pretty good with the packs but Battroid is so chunky they almost look obscured. Quote
Mommar Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Weren't we told the Super Parts were coming in August/Sept? If they're now bundled with the 17D does that mean the 17D is also due around that time as well? Quote
Scream Man Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 I want one, but this is going to cost a fortune dammit... Quote
Mommar Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 You're right, these things are already pushing $300. With the packs that means they're likely $320 to $350 now. Quote

If they're now bundled with the 17D does that mean the 17D is also due around that time as well? The 17D and 17 Super Pack were announced as Fall releases at Wonderfest. Now they've ended up as a bundle, also with a Fall release planned. No news if there's also going to be a Super Pack stand alone for the 17S. Perhaps a web shop exclusive? Quote
Loop Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) Personally I think the stripes should be slightly darker, but I guess I could deal with it if they don't revise the color. I actually like the fact that the packs are included, but when buying multiples the overall cost is going to be higher. Maybe they will release them as separates later kind of like how they do with some of the VF-1 releases and the old runs of the YF-19/YF-21. I am also getting the feeling they might release a super nightmare bundle. Edited May 17, 2012 by Loop Quote
kamadoma Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 I don't think it's really sure if the super parts are to be only released as a bundle. And they're unlikely to be exclusives. This is Yamato, not Bandai. Quote
IXTL Posted May 17, 2012 Author Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) I don't think it's really sure if the super parts are to be only released as a bundle. And they're unlikely to be exclusives. This is Yamato, not Bandai. That's what Yamato did with the initial release of the VF-1 Armor Pack. Bundled mass release, exclusive stand alone Armor Pack (with missile launch effect parts). The stand alone Armor Pack was mass released sans effect parts much later. Edited May 17, 2012 by IXTL Quote
IXTL Posted May 18, 2012 Author Posted May 18, 2012 Amiami blog photo. If those stripes are blue, the tint must be really really light. Quote
ErikElvis Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 I wasn't sure how I felt about the super parts in fighter mode at first but now Im kinda liking them. Battroid is meh. Quote
Mommar Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Like I said, fighter and gerwalk look good with the packs. Battroid, the leg part seems kinda smallish and doesn't really sit on the calf all that well. You can't even see the backpack portions. Quote
Reïvaj Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 VF-17Dはスーパーパックとのせっとで。単品は現在検討中ナリ、です。 Google translate: VF-17D is a set of super-pack. Single item is a binary, currently under consideration. So what's this? Source: Yamato toys twitpic Quote
eugimon Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 huh. wished those leg packs fit more flush up against the wings than that. Quote
Reïvaj Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 huh. wished those leg packs fit more flush up against the wings than that. Yeah, but it wouldn't be possible, would it? Quote
Knightdramon Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 No confirmation on what the price in JPY will be on the bundle, right? Quote
