YF-29 Durandal Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 So when are they opening up the pre-orders on the YF-30 Chronos? Quote
raptormesh Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Very nice. Hopefully it comes in that color, or a low vis. Quote
Kelsain Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) Dangit, just after I said to myself "Well, I'm officially done trying to get Bandai talks." I don't think I'll be jumping onto the preorder wagon this time, though - considering the last few releases. Looking forward to a sharper scan, so we can see the head clearly & the profile shot. Edited October 23, 2013 by Kelsain Quote
Scyla Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Ha, I overlooked the DX in the text. I was probably distracted by the images. You can't blame me for that! Cannot wait to preorder it since I already have a place for the Valk in my display cabinets (the VF-27 Super Parts have to move!). I'd love to see more images from the back and the side. The renders look a bit funky. I'm getting a SV-51 vibe from it. Need a better picture from the head. Hopefully the final product will look like the model from the game. There are a few markings missing in the render but I'm not worried. I wonder if the preorder madness will continue. I hoped for a VF-25S reissue before that to test the water a bit. Quote
zzgundam010 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Given that the most recent renewal releases were/are still available after release, not sure if we will see pre-order madness like the bad old days again. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Nice, best looking VF, since VF-25. Quote
Dobber Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Looks awesome...but....I REALLY don't want to go through the pre-order madness again either. Chris Quote
wm cheng Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 The aircraft mode looks awesome! The side view of the Battroid mode really looks funky... they really don't know what to do with the wings. Nice colour scheme too, I'm definitely looking forward to this one, just hope there isn't that pre-order madness to go through (which is likely since this is a hero VF and its the first issue, the Bandai stuff has only been available since the "reissue"). I also hope this doesn't require a "reissue" to fix it. (kind of burnt by Bandai once too many). Quote
Benson13 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 When is this Tamashii Nations thing supposed to happen? Quote
VF5SS Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 http://tamashii.jp/special/tamashii_nation/ November 1st Quote
Falcon18 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Woah Bandai really rolling out things quick. Love the fighter, not battroid with that big block. Don't know if I wanna get this considering I didn't play the game.. Quote
ErikElvis Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Battroid is Patlaborish. I like it. Cant wait for this. Quote
Dark_Ghost Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 So when are they opening up the pre-orders on the YF-30 Chronos?Should already namely the release date before speaking for opening preorders. Quote
Benson13 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 http://tamashii.jp/special/tamashii_nation/ November 1st Thanks VF5SS. I'm glad its right around the corner. Quote
Mommar Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 What did they do with the wings in the game? None of the pics really show off what that looks like but the back of this thing looks like a bit of a mess. (also, that black iron man fig looks cool too.) Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Hopefully Bandai's supply issue is indeed a thing of the past and we are all able to secure a copy (at retail or below) without losing much sleep. Quote
skullmilitia Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I don't think it will be madness, only people familiar with M30 even know the existence of the 30. It's not from a movie, and it doesn't have "Alto" or "Ozma" attached to it. I wonder if this will be Leon's custom or just the standard paint scheme? Either way I'm in on this. Quote
Scyla Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 From the side view the backpack looks really odd. I assume it will look better in person when you don't have to look at the straight from the side angle. The tail fins are similar in design to the ones from the YF-29. I don't understand why Kawamori didn't engineered a mechanism that enables the fins to slide into the backpack and thus allowing for a sleeker look. Is it possible that Bandai will offer more modules for the giant weapon rack on the back? I've never played Macross 30 so does the YF-30 has other accessory than the micro missile launcher in the game? If I get one the beam gun-pod will be closed all the time. It just looks more wicked closed in the black color scheme then the one from the YF-29. It also helps to differentiate it form the Durandal. Quote
CF18 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Hmm... Why does the CAD images have what looks like a finished color scheme and is quite different from the official and in-game scheme? Quote
Scyla Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Hmm... Why does the CAD images have what looks like a finished color scheme and is quite different from the official and in-game scheme? I think that is due to the YF-30 still being in the development state. I'm sure they will add the missing marks because the YF-30 looks really bland without them. Don't let me down on this Bandai! Honestly I can't imagine Bandai releasing anything that differs from the in-game appearance. For this they need all the recognition from fans that they can get because: I don't think it will be madness, only people familiar with M30 even know the existence of the 30. It's not from a movie, and it doesn't have "Alto" or "Ozma" attached to it. I wonder if this will be Leon's custom or just the standard paint scheme? Either way I'm in on this. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) Ooooo i love staying up pre-order night, even if this might be widely avail later, i like the Black Friday-ish early bird rush. Just hate it if i miss the initial pre-orders... Just for once i'd like to see if i can get the yf-30 @ amiami first round. That's the real prize. Edited October 23, 2013 by davidwhangchoi Quote
close313 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 NEXT WEEK? Fwaah! I can't wait to pre-order the hell out of this. Quote
Scyla Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I think the Tamashii Nations event starts on November the first not the preorders. I assume the will show a prototype there (hopefully) as well as an announcement for the VF-25 Tornado Packs and the S-H-Monsterarts Vajra. Quote
skullmilitia Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Yeah too soon for the pre-order, but the event might state a intended release And hopefully we can assume a open date. Quote
Scyla Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Or if it will be a Tamashii Web exclusive or a regular release. I tend towards a regular release but we will see. Or does it state Tamashii Web Exclusive somewhere and I overlooked valuable information AGAIN! Quote
xrentonx Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Just the announcement I've been waiting for! I'll be watching this thread like a hawk Quote
3D-Brainx Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) It looks really back heavy looking at the side view, but it's an awesome design, I like it a lot. Can't wait for Nov 1st. If we get a release date we can infer the pro-order date. As I said in the other thread, I'm still hoping Bandai surprise us with something else, like a 171 Elint. Edited October 23, 2013 by 3D-Brainx Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 i'm guessing this will need to be permanently stationed on a stand in battroid mode or hunched forward to pose on it's feet... Quote
Mommar Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 If the wings swung in after being rotated that would probably make a huge difference. Quote
Kyp Durron Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 New pic Noted the advertisement for the Super Pack for the VF-25A, got to get one! (Looks to be in 2014) -Kyp Quote
