Dark_Ghost Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 On another forum, it is said that the Super Pack will be included in this reissue. True or False? Wait and See .... Quote
Sandman Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 On another forum, it is said that the Super Pack will be included in this reissue. True or False? Wait and See .... Price listed seems to indicate that but like you i'll wait and see. What other forum are you referring to? Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Seriously, THIS gets reissued, and NOT ALTO'S VF-25?!?!? (or Ozma's) Quote
lechuck Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Seriously, THIS gets reissued, and NOT ALTO'S VF-25?!?!? (or Ozma's) Maybe because the molds are being used for all the different character variants Michael and now Luca etc.. Whereas with the YF-29 there are no other official variants to do, so it is free for continual reissues. Quote
zzgundam010 Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Price listed seems to indicate that but like you i'll wait and see. What other forum are you referring to? List price for the original was 17,000 yen. The re-issue is listed as 17,850 yen. Don't think Bandai will throw in the super pack for 850 yen. Quote
Dark_Ghost Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Sorry, but the price has not changed. It is always ¥17,000 excluding tax, which is ¥ 17,850 including taxes. Edit :There was a mistake. Super Pack is not included in this reissue. Edited January 7, 2013 by Dark_Ghost Quote
Sandman Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 My mistake. Must of been remembering the discounted preorder price. Quote
Chronocidal Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Well, what is interesting is that the ad clearly shows the super packs mounted on the battroid. Maybe they just mean they'll be re-releasing them for order as well? Either that, or the photoshop monkey in charge of the ad wasn't paying attention. Edited January 7, 2013 by Chronocidal Quote
IXTL Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Well, what is interesting is that the ad clearly shows the super packs mounted on the battroid. Maybe they just mean they'll be re-releasing them for order as well? The super parts are still available for order on the Tamashii Web Shop. The original order period hasn't closed. Quote
zzgundam010 Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 The super parts are still available for order on the Tamashii Web Shop. The original order period hasn't closed. yes. That ad is for both the re-issue and the super pack. Quote
BlueMax Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Looks like there will be loads of people losing sleep tonight/tomorrow morning! Quote
Lupin The Third Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Of course they are reissuing....how else did they expect to make money from the super packs with only 12 people owing the Valk?!?! Quote
Lupin The Third Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Presales will open on January 8 from 04:00 PM time japanese. No idea on the number of parts sales. Not much in my opinion. Where is this info coming from? I don't see anything on Tamashii web indicating this. Quote
Loop Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Where is this info coming from? I don't see anything on Tamashii web indicating this. Here is the direct link http://tamashii.jp/item/1815/ Quote
Chronocidal Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Meh.. I'm tempted to just order one from NY and be done with it.. 288 before shipping though. Is my time and effort to get one from HLJ worth $88? That's the big question. Quote
Duymon Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I'm on night shift tonight and Have the page on refresh every minute on my laptop Quote
valid Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 do we have to buy it in tamashii? or we could get it in ami ami or HLJ? Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Meh.. I'm tempted to just order one from NY and be done with it.. 288 before shipping though. Is my time and effort to get one from HLJ worth $88? That's the big question. I'm very tempted to do this as well. The reports of paint scraping off on Bandai valks has made me hesitate on this one though. Quote
Chronocidal Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Actually? I might scrape all the paint off this one on purpose. Anyone know for sure whether the black on the nose is painted on? I'm seriously considering buying two and stripping one down to the bare plastic. Quote
Lupin The Third Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Here is the direct link http://tamashii.jp/item/1815/ While that page shows the item being reissued in March it does not indicate that it is going up Jan 8 at 4pm. That's what I was inquiring about; from what source does this 4pm claim come from? Quote
Chronocidal Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Heads up, AmiAmi just took down the old YF-29 30th page. It just disappeared. They might be tweaking it. Quote
Lupin The Third Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Heads up, AmiAmi just took down the old YF-29 30th page. It just disappeared. They might be tweaking it. They took it down hours ago, which does lend credence to the claim it is going up tonight. But I would still like to know what legit source is claiming this. Stayed up last week for the VF-171 CF and that was a bust in spite of the all-knowing forum vibe that it was happening... Quote
Chronocidal Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Oh huh, I've been refreshing it all night, maybe I just missed looking at that page for a while. Quote
valid Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) i have the server busy notification looks like a lot of people push refresh button at ami ami Edited January 8, 2013 by valid Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I can't even find the page aon amiami. Anyone have the link? Quote
Lupin The Third Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I can't even find the page aon amiami. Anyone have the link? They removed it from the searchable links. Quote
Loop Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Did no one buy it originally, and then decide they want one after changing their mind? It seemed like this one was available even after release for a bit there. Quote
Chronocidal Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Link is right here: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=TOY-RBT-2516 It's still linked from the "related items" list under the other Bandai valks. Quote
Lupin The Third Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Did no one buy it originally, and then decide they want one after changing their mind? It seemed like this one was available even after release for a bit there. Well these guys have been abundantly available since before release if you were willing to double a scalpers money. Maybe enough of us resisted the inflated prices that Bandai realizes no one will be buying the super pack if they don't reissue it for another 5 seconds or so? Random thought....but I really wish Max Factory had the Frontier license, or any Macross for that matter. I'd gladly pay $300-400 for a Valk made like the real thing like their Big-O.... Quote
Dark_Ghost Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) This is normal as the link does not work. Someone I know who works at CDJapan, told me that it was today at 04:00 PM (Japan time) pre-opening products Tamashii Nations. In any case, the rule with Tamashii Nations for opening it is always pre 04:00 PM Otherwise, it's reissue of the YF-29 in March and May Super Pack Edited January 8, 2013 by Dark_Ghost Quote
Chronocidal Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Well NY still has the super pack on sale for $40 for the original preorder. If this doesn't pan out, I've got one from them in my shopping cart on the NY site. Quote

Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I'd buy it if this time it has the rich golden-yellow stripes, and green clear parts. (and maybe print the SMS markings in something other than white-on-white) Quote
