Jasonc Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Wow! It is already going for over $330 on eBay! Always a good sign. Is it selling at that price, or just listed at that? Quote
Dimis Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Hi guys, I found some photos - for those of us who might be waiting for a while even though they have pre-ordered :-/ http://nov.2chan.net/y/res/2628862.htm Quote
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Another purple-tinted canopy? Why is the line being changed after the first two re-issues? Quote
stormshadow0621 Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Hi, Can anyone confirm if biginjapan is legit? I got a order in for the VF-25G when it just opened but have not gotten any shipping notice or response from them yet (I already sent them a message). Thanks. Quote
UN Spacy Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Sniper rifle STORES in F-Mode! HALLELUJAH! Quote
Chronocidal Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) I honestly don't know why everyone was so concerned with the rifle... the model mounts it just fine. It does, however, stick waaaayyyyy out the back. The bending though.. ugh.. You'd think after.. how many years has Bandai been making toys now? And they still don't understand how to prevent parts from warping? Or is this just a "We don't care about Macross" thing? Funny thing about the painting though.. seems like they're still ignoring the canon colors for Michael's plane. Looks like they got the underside of the nose colored as in the anime finally, but they're still forgetting the fact that the VF-25G doesn't use black paint. It's actually a darker blue-ish purple. Even the anti-glare panel on th enose and the tails aren't really black. I'm not really going to complain about that, since I think the black looks nicer anyway, but it's sad they just can't seem to figure out how to watch their own source material for reference.

aceoftherebellion Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 I think it's less 'we don't care about macross' and more 'we don't care about warping'. I stopped buying a lot of their Gundam toys years ago for the same reason... Don't know about their other chogokin stuff, but it wouldn't surprise me. Quote
Chronocidal Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Yep, just got my confirmation as well. Now the wait begins until Luca's gets announced. I'm not so concerned about Michael's super packs (but will probably grab a set if they come with the speakers and/or fold booster), but I really hope they just bundle Luca's. I don't think he ever actually had them off in the series anyway. Hopefully they'll include the ghosts too, but I'm not going to get my hopes up much. Quote
NightCastle Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 NY are processing the orders now. Just got mine. Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Got my preparation in progress email from NY as well. Quote
mqvu Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Hooray, I got my notification as well from NY. If anyone is still looking to buy the VF-25G, you could still get it at NY for $238.32 + shipping fees ... the caveat though is that the price is subject to change the longer you wait (i.e., the price increases with more demand) ... just sayin' ...

Bunneh Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 My NY order is being processed too. I don't see HLJ's listing anymore... Quote
sharpnel Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I see HLJ is not coming to the rescue. May have to go with NY now. Quote
neoexcaliber Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 HLJ has been a bit slower compared to the other sites so I'm guessing it'll take a while before they release those unpaid preorders. Quote
mass driver Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 The orders at HLJ are open again people Quote
takatoys Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 The orders at HLJ are open again people Just saw it too: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN976275 Quote
sharpnel Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Just saw it too: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN976275 Me too. Ordered!! YAY HLJ!! Quote
anime52k8 Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Just saw it too: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN976275 too poor, can't afford. Quote
Lolicon Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I had resigned myself to not getting one because I refused to pay NY's inflated price, and HLJ comes through! Hurray for HLJ! Quote
downquick Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Awesome, I was about to post that its on HLJ, but I guess I'm late. Hurray for HLJ Quote
xrentonx Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Order placed! Hope this is good. I just placed this order by the skin of my teeth. It's now back on "Order Stop." Edited October 1, 2012 by xrentonx Quote
neoexcaliber Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I've been diligently waiting for the HLJ sale to open and I had to miss it coz of an afternoon nap. I hate my slothful ways. Quote

Yeah seems like most places are limiting to 1 per order/household. HLJ, AmiAmi are the same as well. At least Hobby Search appeared to have lasted longer than HLJ. Quote
wm cheng Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Damn sleep! Middle of the night again. That was fast. ;-( Quote
neoexcaliber Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Are you guys assuming that there'll be no additional units for sale after the initial pre-order run or what? I never bought the previous vf-25(s) so I don't know how their production run is. Quote
Mommar Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Are you guys assuming that there'll be no additional units for sale after the initial pre-order run or what? I never bought the previous vf-25(s) so I don't know how their production run is. Other than the Alto being semi-easy to find after pre-orders were up, once it was known the quality on the V2's was good there has been next to zero chance of getting one after pre-order runs for Ozma, the 171 (there was a small window), the reissued 29 and (again, except for this tiny window now apparently) the G. It's pretty much a guarantee there won't be additional units unless Bandai magically figured out what it's done wrong with the other releases. Better safe to assume you won't be finding one for under $400 for the time being if you haven't already pre-ordered. Quote
