Dobber Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) I wonder if they will include a stand with this release since all the new releases since the original VF-27 had stands included. Hope so with the added cost. Chris Edited May 7, 2013 by Dobber Quote
Lolicon Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Have a birthday gathering to attend tonight, so I'll be quite inebriated for the preorder start. This'll be fun. Quote
Scyla Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 I wonder if they will include a stand with this release since all the new releases since the original VF-27 had stands included. Hope so with the added cost. Chris I hope they do. I would love to sea a stand with the Macross Galaxy logo on it. I still miss the New U.N.Spacy kite on the stand of the VF-171CF Quote

Scyla Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 That is pretty cool. I hope it's not a VF-171 stand with the generic launch hatch detail. Although I think it fits the CF version more then the Alto one because cannon fodder doesn't need fancy stands for their <0.5 seconds screen time. Quote
Shukenzero Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 CFs are made to be weak but damn they look good doing what they do: getting blown to bits Quote
Reïvaj Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 CFs are made to be weak but damn they look good doing what they do: getting blown to bits They're the best at that! Quote
Scyla Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 cool that they include brera and ranka. Hm so can I pretend that the "women" in the VF-25S is Cathy Glass? Quote
CF18 Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 cool that they include brera and ranka. Probably the same half-body Ranka in the old one: http://gamu-toys.info/goukin/gouki/dx12vf27/01.html Looking back at the old one, one big improvement with the new one is the darker color of the jet nozzles. Quote
Chronocidal Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Hm so can I pretend that the "women" in the VF-25S is Cathy Glass? That's what I've been doing all along, since Ranka never rode with Ozma from what I remember. Actually this will make a nice complete set. I put the Ranka from my original VF-27 in Alto's renewal VF-25, since even though she's got no legs, she fits decently, and you can't really see it under the console. That left Cathy for Ozma's rear seat, and the Ranka for this release will get to be Sheryl in Michael's valk for that time she got shot down trying to fly. Sadly though, that leaves micro-Klan from the VF-25G with nowhere to sit. Maybe I'll stick her in a spare Fire Valk. Quote
UN Spacy Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Pay 40 dollars over retail? Pay 40 dollars over retail? Hahahaha...for reals. It's organized scalping...I can't believe y'all are pay NY. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 can't wait till tonight, looking forward to the stress and hopefully joy of getting a pre-order in. Quote
Duymon Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 on night shift tonight. Already have 6 windows up auto-refreshing. Will get at least one I think, though goal is 2. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 i'm going to skip cd japan, there was no way to find the pre order during the night of the vf-25F pre-orders unless you had a special e-mail notification with a link. it didn't show up using the search bar. Quote
SaitouSad Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 on night shift tonight. Already have 6 windows up auto-refreshing. Will get at least one I think, though goal is 2. woah.. how do you do that? Quote
Duymon Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) I Just have chrome with the auto-refresh addon. You can set how many seconds there are between refreshes as well. From now until around 2:30 I keep it at 60 seconds, but then bump it up to 15 seconds near window time. On a side note, I wonder if the pilot figs will be a new sculpt or if they'll be the gummy-bear V1's? Edited May 8, 2013 by Duymon Quote
SaitouSad Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Amiami Order page is up btwhttp://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TOY-RBT-03430&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3Dvf-27%24pagemax%3D30%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1 Quote

raptormesh Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Hope to get one. crashed and burned on the 25F Quote
SaitouSad Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 I'd be in the middle of a meeting when Amiami opens for sale... Well, I'm at work now too, so odds are highly against me as usual.. And it's not like we'll ever be able to get 1 in via Amiami anyway Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Outside of a few cosmetic changes and mention of a redesigned part here and there is this an actual "renewal" or modification to accept the super parts? The pics at Amiami look very much like the original release, unlike the 25 that had some very noticeable improvements. -b. Quote
miro79 Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 wish you luck guys! I will sleep like a baby tonight. Quote
SaitouSad Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 All I want is just one piece of this. I hope I'll be able to secure one. It sucks to always have to go through these preorder rushes while at work Quote

Some how Amiami choose the 2010 version of the comparison pic from Bandai as the main pic Quote
UN Spacy Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Don't tell him! The less people that want this the better chance I'll have grabbing one at Ami. Quote
SaitouSad Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) The last pic in their order page is of the newer one though On that note, I think the reason Bandai didn't bother with doing a whole renewal for this is partly because they figured the VF-27 wouldn't sell as hot as the VF-25s Edited May 8, 2013 by SaitouSad Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) Ah, gotcha. Thanks very much for the confirmation CF18. Was starting to wonder what all of the fuss was about. -b. Hey, hey UN Spacy, I'm sure Amiami will crash with or without me. Edited May 8, 2013 by Kanedas Bike Quote
SaitouSad Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Looking at Amiami, I just realized Bandai's killing me, releasing 4 items I wanted to get all in the month of August alone.... Quote
SaitouSad Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Venusaur FTW! Rockman, Ryuseimaru and Shin Getter.... and the VF-27. At least for the 1st 3, there's seldom any quantity issue.. Quote
