Chronocidal Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 Still utter bull$#!% that they don't include the missiles as standard on these. They were -never- seen without a boatload of missiles on them. And besides, did they even equip the blue ones with the armor pack? Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 Guys keep your ammo ready for this!! http://www.toy-world...&extra=page%3D1 omg that is beautiful. i want like 3 of them. haha Quote
Kelsain Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 And they're definitely a lighter gray. If I recall, they didn't have the mde cannon, either. (null) Quote
mechaninac Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 And with a missile load out different from that seen on the EX version... sweet! Quote
Kelsain Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 Those were the vajra control missiles (null) Quote
Scyla Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 And they're definitely a lighter gray. If I recall, they didn't have the mde cannon, either. (null) I haven't seen The Wings of Goodbye yet but I found this image were you can see the end of the cannon. So the Super Parts for VF-171 CF should only be a repaint perhaps with the missiles shown in this pic. It will be an easy cash-in for Bandai especially for a army builder Valkyrie.... ...if the can provide enough figures that is. Quote
UN Spacy Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 crap. I bet preorders gonna go up tonight. I'll need a Red Bull. Quote
charger69 Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 crap. I bet preorders gonna go up tonight. I'll need a Red Bull. Most of the sellers are on holiday... I think this one gonna be quite tricky... Quote
David Hingtgen Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 When's the optimal time to start clicking refresh at HLJ? Quote
ron5864 Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 That looks awesome in fighter mode.....(drooling). Quote
CF18 Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 crap. I bet preorders gonna go up tonight. You may need many, since most of our preferred shops are having year end vacation around the next few days. Quote
TCracker Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Just checked hobbysearch and amiami.....nothing yet... Quote
Lupin The Third Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Why does everyone think this is going up tonight? I don't see any indication that this is going up for sale/pre-orders tonight. Quote
Kicker773 Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Its the intano circus of valks.. so anything and everything goes.. including assumptions Quote
Loop Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Why does everyone think this is going up tonight? I don't see any indication that this is going up for sale/pre-orders tonight. I think it has to do with the 25's. It seemed like we got the announcements and some pics, then by the next morning all the pre-orders were closed lol. Quote

Reïvaj Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 That has not been the case with the Luca custom. Quote

xrentonx Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Am I gonna have to get two of these things too? Macross is killing me these days Quote
UN Spacy Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Preorders already closed at Ami?! Who got one? Quote
Lupin The Third Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Unless I am remembering wrong... No worries. I will just bill you for my time. And since I'm gaming I'll give you a reduced rate of only $20 an hour! It's a bargain! Preorders already closed at Ami?! Who got one? Haha...very funny. Quote
skull_leader001 Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Preorders already closed at Ami?! Who got one? JOJOJO!!! Quote

3D-Brainx Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 CollectionDX site says this will be out on April 2013, I guess we can all go to sleep now.... Quote
mechaninac Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Well, that means that the preorders will open, followed by insta-close and much bemoaning and gnashing of teeth, sometime around mid January, +/- a week. What was the average lead time on the other Frontier DXs? Quote
Arrowyn Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 So...! Beautiful...! I just got myself a 17S on sale, but I shall throw down for this. Yea, even at retail, should my preorder triggerfinger be up to the task! Quote
Sandman Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Was that the case? Guess I'll be playing Pnazer Dragoon Saga and F5ing all night long. Panzar Dragoon Saga damn. I've wanted that game for over 10 years. Was never able to get my hands on it for a reasonable price. Quote
aceoftherebellion Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Damn these things are pretty. I've been really on the fence about this in Alto Colors, but I think I need one of this version in my life Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 This is one of the Frontier releases I'd really really like to have. I'd like to have one AWACS'd up like you see in the first episode. I'm assuming that was an armor add on of some kind in the show so maybe we'll see it as an add on. Quote
kyekye Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Just FYI for those who are checking online shops for this one. AmiAmi shop is closed from 29th (which means they are closed now) HobbySearch is closed from 30th (Maybe it will turn up tonight/tomorrow before they close for the holidays) HLJ is already closed for a break.. NipponYasan.. No mention about holiday schedule, but probably they are gone as well.. That doesn't stop from listing the item on their page. I've seen it happen on HLJ. Probably one employee stop by the office and update new items for fun Quote
Loop Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) Arrgh, and I'm sleepy lately. Must be the holidays kicking my ass This is one of the Frontier releases I'd really really like to have. I'd like to have one AWACS'd up like you see in the first episode. I'm assuming that was an armor add on of some kind in the show so maybe we'll see it as an add on. It's actually the RVF-171 variant. I think if they made it, it would be a whole new release and most likely Lucas maybe first? Edited December 29, 2012 by Loop Quote
Lupin The Third Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Panzar Dragoon Saga damn. I've wanted that game for over 10 years. Was never able to get my hands on it for a reasonable price. I initially passed on it at release, a mistake; in retrospect I'd have bought a hundred copies for future resale had we known how amazing and rare it would be at the time. I was a huge fan of the series but went to E3 and was underwhelmed by it there. The demo kiosks had no one supervising them and there was no way to reset the game; so I was stuck jumping into already played sessions of an RPG with no idea of the mechanics. You couldn't even reset with the default Saturn reset (A+B_C+Start). So I fiddled with it for a while and eventually walked away disappointed with what they'd done to my beloved series. How wrong I was. A friend of mine later convinced me to play it, and loaned me his copy. Being able to play from the start and actually learn how to play I of course fell in love with the game; so much so that the same friend gave me his copy for Christmas later that year. At that time a used copy was around $100-120. It's obviously more now but if you still have a Saturn consider this; spend $200-300 for a Valkyrie that will go all floppy on you with any use whatsoever and may even include bonus exploding parts or buy one of the greatest games ever made which will only accrue value even if you play the crap out of it! Plus Sega announced a little while back that they'd lost the master source code for the game so they'd have to either reverse engineer the whole thing or rebuild it from scratch...neither of which are likey to occur given Sega's current sorry state of affairs (thanks Sammy!). So basically the game has almost no chance of ever being reissued through a download serivce; either in its original form or an HD'ed update as has become popular as of late. It's a real shame, Panzer's eventual disappearance from gaming would be akin to say Macross Plus going out of print forever. Arrgh, and I'm sleepy lately. Must be the holidays kicking my ass It's actually the RVF-171 variant. I think if they made it, it would be a whole new release and most likely Lucas maybe first? OMG WANT NOW! Need to watch Frontier also. Quote
