SaitouSad Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 can you post a picture of this paintscheme? wasn't able to find one by myself, and since i don't own the game, it would be nice to know what you are talking about. I haven't played far enough myself to see it, but I like what I've seen of it so far. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 I took these pictures in Akiba. IMG_0808.JPG IMG_0810.JPG May be a typo... IMG_0809.JPG umm, those armor packs look pretty grey to me (a blue tint sure, but much more grey than the ones for alto's 171)...glad i preordered! I haven't played far enough myself to see it, but I like what I've seen of it so far. i just got taht game i the mail and haven't played it yet...is it going to be a b*tch if i dont read japanese?

Depends on how much you know I guess. I think you'll be hindered with regards to certain mission objectives. But there are a few threads in the games sub-forum here where people are discussing it. I've avoided it for now because I haven't had much time to play. On another note. Based on the photographs, so the CF 171's actual green is that? I was kinda looking forward to that metallic looking one in the promo shots. Quote
Scyla Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I just had a second thought about the color of the armor parts. A company that is capable to print white Skull and Crossbones on white plastic is capable of any other absurdity that I can imagine! Quote
yman1437 Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 plamoya up in case you still looking for one Quote
plastik Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 thanks for the tip. Great preorder price but they want to charge $48 for ems shipping. I was hoping NY would reopen their preorder so I could order both the vf and the armor pack at the same time. Quote
mechaninac Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Yeah, by the time you add the shipping it costs about the same as N-Y's current price with registered SAL. Quote
miro79 Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) I'm really glad i got the HLJ preorder... Plamoya is charging 48€ for EMS shipping to Europe! Thats 63$ ! Edited April 16, 2013 by miro79 Quote

mechaninac Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Just curious where did this happen? DX Chogokin YF-29 30th Anniversary version... Edited April 17, 2013 by mechaninac Quote
yman1437 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 I'm really glad i got the HLJ preorder... Plamoya is charging 48 for EMS shipping to Europe! Thats 63$ ! Yeah....should allow sal or other options... Quote
Reïvaj Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Just curious where did this happen? YF-29: 30 Anniversary Version and it's true it was weird. Edited April 17, 2013 by Reïvaj Quote
Hikuro Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Since I've totally missed out on this thing, I've given orders to a friend of mine who's going over to Japan and China for th enext year. Gave him some info on the VF-171 CF and if he finds it he's gonna pick it up, along with some other awesome stuff. so I'm crossing my fingers for the nex tmonth or so. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Just curious where did this happen? A lot of people don't even realize there IS printing on the wings etc, because it's white ink on white plastic. Bandai sure showed their brilliance there. Quote
stormshadow0621 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Yeah, by the time you add the shipping it costs about the same as N-Y's current price with registered SAL. Was debating if I should switch my order from NY to Plamoya. Difference would have been getting it in 3 days versus 3 weeks. But I have so many preorders with NY, didn't want them to ban me until I get my VF-25F Quote

But I have so many preorders with NY, didn't want them to ban me until I get my VF-25F NY's standard shipping have been pretty quick for me, but yeah, spending a few extra bucks on Playmoya may be worth it if you wanna save time. i only buy clearance stuff from Plamoya due to their eratic shipping prices. got the Bandai 1/100 base at 75% off but they freakin' charge almost 50 bones for shipping (i literally waited almost a month as they dropped the price day by day). shipping for their first VF-171 was cheaper than the CF version.

But I have so many preorders with NY, didn't want them to ban me until I get my VF-25F They will not ban you. I cancelled a pre-order with no repercussions. They only cancel all of you other pre-orders if you don't pay when they send the payment request on a pre-order. Quote
Duymon Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) YF-29: 30 Anniversary Version and it's true it was weird. HOLY CRAP. I have two of then and I've never seen this white skull on White (maybe that's a testament to bandai's fail) Where is this white skull? (I'm at work I can't check them right now lol) Edited April 17, 2013 by Duymon Quote

Scyla Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Yeah the Skull and Crossbones is on the Wing of the Super Parts released next month. On the wings of the YF-29 30th Anniversary is a white SMS logo on white surface. The Skulls on the Super Parts should pop equally. Quote
plastik Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 omg....i didn't notice this on mine either. Im scared to look at it when I get home. Quote
xrentonx Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) I just pretend it's not there! Pretty easy considering... Edited April 17, 2013 by xrentonx Quote
Chronocidal Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 That would have made far too much sense for Bandai to do though. I'm looking forward to the second one I get.. whichever one is in best shape will be kept in fighter forever, but the second one is getting stripped to the bare plastic just to see what it looks like under all that nonsense. Quote
Gakken85 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Paid for mine last night. Hope it gets here soon Quote
skullmilitia Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 I decided I'm going to let the PO cancel, I just can't do that much over the MSRP. It' ain't worth it. 120$, sure I'll bite, and hope there isn't a piece missing, but 170-180, up to 200$ for slow shipping, perhaps a missing part? loose joint, paint chip? Can't do it. Quote
Gakken85 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Ive ordered from NY twice and it was well packaged and in great shape. I'm sure if you got a broken one they would hook you up. But it's your money and what you feel comfortable with of course. Quote
zulu Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Skulls should have been on the tail fins. I couldn't agree more with ya. The skulls on the fins would look 100% better!! Quote
GGemini Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 More pics of the display in Akihabara: http://kitasite.net/b/2013/04/22/10034/ Quote
raptormesh Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I just watched a review of Alto's 171 and the transformation seems a bit messy and convoluted, is that true? Quote
Mommar Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Because the tolerances are so tight, yes the transformation can be a bit fussy. Quote
Graham Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Still think the 'No Step' markings being on the underside of the wing is hilarious. They didn't really think that one through Graham Quote
