Rabidweezil Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 *snore* wake me when the VF-25s renewal makes a return... of course I'll probably miss it anyway... Quote

skullmilitia Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 Waiting on my RVF pre-order to appear! This! try not to blink. Quote
Mommar Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 This! try not to blink. That's what I'm afraid of. All everybody ever does is make fun of Luca, now all the sudden they have to "complete" the squad. I'm wondering how many people don't actually like the character/valk are still going to try to buy one just for completions sake. Quote

ultraman zoffy Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 I know for a fact that I won't be interested in changing modes with the RVF, so I'm on the lookout for a decent price on either a V1 or V2... if I can get a V1 on the cheap, I'll be happy not having to do the pre-order dance on a renewal. ... and on that note, anyone have a V1 RVF with super parts you want to unload to free up funds for a renewal? =) Quote
Duymon Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Heads up Amazon.co.jp has a few VF-25G's and even Vf-171EX alto's left for near Retail (17,000 Yen vs 14,800 Yen) http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/switch-language/product/B0087JD27E/ref=dp_change_lang?ie=UTF8&language=en_JP http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/switch-language/product/B007EMQQTG/ref=dp_change_lang?ie=UTF8&language=en_JP I bought my VF-25G from them while I was in Japan and had it shipped to my GF's place for like 500 yen because I couldn't find the 25G for the life of me in Akihabara Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Grr, they won't ship to the US! You could try this site, http://www.dv8cag.com/ I pulled that from Anubis' sig some weeks back and tried to get them to get me the custom paint set from Yamato. They couldn't help me with that because Japan's post won't mail things like paint, but I did notice that they have things set up so you could order from Amazon Japan and they would work as a proxy. The people I talked to regarding my request seemed pretty friendly and courteous too. Quote
Mechamaniac Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Thanks! In a pinch, my wife's sister is stationed in Okinawa so if they still have it tomorrow when I get ye olde Christmas bonus, I might snag it and ask her to ship it to me. Quote
Duymon Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 there are 14 others in stock at different stores on amazon for the same price. It runs up to around 205-ish dollars at current exchange rate. Maybe one ships international. Bandai really screwed the pooch on this one. I could not find a single VF-25 renewal anywhere in Akihabara, Tokyo... the freaking toy-mecca of Japan. I spent 2 days looking!! All I could find was freaking VF 171's at retail prices....the horrors! Quote
M'Kyuun Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 To anyone who's ordered from NY, are they generally slow about processing orders? Ordered my 25G 2 days ago and it still says "processing order". Just wondering. I'm pretty stoked to finally be getting a renewal, and 2 days for processing seems both excessive and abhorrent to my impatient, childlike mind. Quote
wm cheng Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 I wonder why there are still so many VF-25Gs around but there is like no VF-25S anywhere other than hugely inflated prices? Are they really having that hard of a time selling out the VF-25Gs? Quote
jvmacross Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Maybe a combination of Bandai finally "getting the memo" and producing more starting with the VF-171 and also these releases being less popular? Quote
Dimis Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 To anyone who's ordered from NY, are they generally slow about processing orders? Ordered my 25G 2 days ago and it still says "processing order". Just wondering. I'm pretty stoked to finally be getting a renewal, and 2 days for processing seems both excessive and abhorrent to my impatient, childlike mind. They usually take a few days with mine too, but you need to remember that NY is not Amazon in terms of automated systems and staff. Just be realistic, and perhaps glad that you don't have to use eBay. Quote
Duymon Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Back in Stock at Nippon-ya san. about $226 shipped. Considering retail is 14,000 yen, or $166, $40 markup seems very tame compared to all your other options. I just picked up an extra and will be turning one into a custom since I love the 25G head so much. Edited December 17, 2012 by Duymon Quote

That's why I went ahead and committed. Mine shipped and is currently in Osaka ready to cross the pond. I'm hoping it'll be in my eager little hands by Wednesday, since I sprung for EMS 3-4 day shipping. Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 I really like my VF-25G renewal! I am so glad the sniper rifle can go underneath with the landing gear down. Quote

M'Kyuun Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Sorry, but I gotta stoke the fire. The Renewal 25G is such an excellent figure. I can't remember the last time I handled a valk this much. Normally I transform them a couple times, pose them a bit until I find one I like, and then set them on the shelf. This thing has yet to see a shelf. Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Caved and ordered one. I've been kicking around buying this since pictures of it first showed up. All the positive reviews combined with the fact you can still find it at a decent price just made it too good to pass up. Quote
Duymon Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Has anyone tried the renewal 25G with the Fold Speakers? ON the fence on whether or not to purchase a set or not from a friend. -Duy Quote
Scream Man Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 God frakking dammit i bought one for $237 at NY.... Quote
neoexcaliber Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) God frakking dammit i bought one for $237 at NY.... A moment of silence for our fellow fan who was killed by his wife today... Bludgeoned to death with a MISB vf-25g which can be found on ebay for a reasonable price. Edited December 31, 2012 by neoexcaliber Quote
Scream Man Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 You're so close to what will happen when she finds out you have no idea... Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 You will love the VF-25 G! If you survive your wife! Lol Quote
Phalanix Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Got an extra VF-25G for sale, if anyone's interested, PM me. NIB, but I had opened the cardboard part to take a look to make sure the thing's okay. Was going to put it in the sales section, but was too lazy (and procrastinate too much). Shipping preferably within Canada (or US). Quote
slaginpit Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Still available for even cheaper here: http://www.nippon-ya...al-version.html That's almost 300 dollars and is $320 if you count in customs fees and people scratch their heads that I paid $350??? Sometimes I wonder which end people talk from??? Quote

Sometimes I wonder which end people talk from??? I can’t see those almost 300 dollars you mention. I might be wrong but I think it says 209,07 dollars. Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 As do I. Bought and shipped from there last week at under $250. Quote
