lechuck Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Love the head design! Does it mention a release date in there? Agreed. Nice and tidy. None of that bloody "La Forge" visor, gaping holes or third eye nonsense designs Kawamori was pulling on us. Clean, simple and functional, that's what Battroid designs should always be. Quote
mechaninac Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Very good point! There've been renewals for so many valks. It might indeed be better to wait for the renewal. Else I'll have to sell the flawed first edition at a loss. There's only been 1 renewal by Bandai, the ones for the VF-25s/RVF-25. The VF-27 does not count; that was a rework of the old toy, not a back-to-the-drawing-board, newly engineered, 100% new toy. Although, there is always the chance that subsequent releases of the YF-30 (recolors), could include tweaks/fixes just like the Super Parts for the VF-25G which has tabs not present on, or modified from, those released for the VF-25F and S. Regardless, if the YF-30 is indeed a Tamashii exclusive, I'll be preordering as soon as it goes up on N-Y; otherwise I'll wait for release, but in either case I'm getting one of these.

Jasonc Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Looks gorgeous in fighter. Where's the preorder button??? Quote
wmkjr Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Nice articulating fighter stand, at least you can bank left or right if you wanted to.. I wonder why it's a short piece (near the gunpod)? Edited November 23, 2013 by wmkjr Quote
skullmilitia Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 I hope that stand is going to be released seperately. Quote
Falconkpd Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 I hope that stand is going to be released seperately. Why's that? Quote
erikos0311 Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 This is probably the best DX Bandai Design in my opinion!! I told myself i would hold off on any pre-orders for the rest of the year but , I think this calls for exception if it becomes available before the year ends..... Quote
Gakken85 Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 Looks really good in fighter, but it doesn't look very different in battroid unfortunately. Think I'm phasing out my Bandai Macross buying so I might pass on this guy. Quote
Chewie Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 It's so pretty..... Not available for preorder yet, right? Quote
David Hingtgen Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Want, but will wait for one of the other colors. Just WAY too similar to Alto's -25 otherwise. Quote
Swoosh Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Love the head design! Does it mention a release date in there? It said 2014 April in the lower left corner. Quote
close313 Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 It said 2014 April in the lower left corner. IT'S A CONSPIRACY! Why set on YF-19's release month! Quote
charger69 Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 IT'S A CONSPIRACY! Why set on YF-19's release month! Such a tense competition! Quote
Scream Man Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Not for me. I love the 30, I really do. But its nothing compared to the 19 for me. Quote
Mommar Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Would seem more like a conspiracy if the Isamu YF-29 were being released in April. The 30 is totally different. Quote
Falcon18 Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 It does. Think I'm gonna pass on this. Gotta pay for that 19. Would be interested if there were other paint schemes though. Quote
Firefox Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 April 2014 is good. Is it confirm? Any pre-order opened? I'm passing YF-19 for this. I prefer thing that could at least transform a few times and not worrying too much. Quote
Scyla Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 I'm just gonna pay the YF-30 in advance and deal with the YF-19 when it's released. Not passing out on this one because then all I need will be the VF-25G Tornado Parts. Quote
Tochiro Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 All that scan says is that it's due to release in 2014. Everything else- from price to height- is listed as TBD. Quote
wmkjr Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the clarification. Was trying to figure out if it was April but didn't see 4月. All I could get was 2014 expected release. Edited November 25, 2013 by wmkjr Quote
Swoosh Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Thanks for the clarification. Was trying to figure out if it was April but didn't see 4月. All I could get was 2014 expected release. Oh, you are right.... I am sorry for the misleading info Quote
wmkjr Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) Sorry, wasn't me. Tochiro was the one that posted the correction (Thank you Tochiro!). I was a little slow trying to translate so he put it up first. Hopefully it's a late Summer release. Maybe April will be the pre-order time. I was worried about my funds for a second for April.

zzgundam010 Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 There are three things certain in life: death, taxes, and Bandai renewals. Quote
Scream Man Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 oh so it ISNT April? That's a relief. Quote
Astro_BS-AS Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 I have to admit that I love the Arcadia YF19, but it's too expensive... If Bandai releases the Chronos at 200 usd, it becomes an insta-buy. It is a really amazing design. And the wings hanging there, well, I like it and it makes sense too. And at least Kawamori get rid of the god-damn shield thing.... Watch the video of the Lego YF30 from the Macross 30th game. It's quite amazing. I didn't unlock the VF yet, but I'm on it... Quote
Smiley424 Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 I missed out on the YF-29 in all forms, not missing this one, waiting for that preorder! Quote
wmkjr Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 I missed out on the YF-29 in all forms, not missing this one, waiting for that preorder! You can still find YF-29's on the secondary market if you really want them. Got a YF-29 30th for $180 a few months ago. Might pick up 2 of these though. Quote
Scream Man Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 And at least Kawamori get rid of the god-damn shield thing.... Maybe it's just me, but i love the arm shields on the 19's and 25 series. I know it isnt practical, but i love em. Quote
raptormesh Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 The shields are entirely superfluous, the pilots either have invincible(mostly) plot armor or they fly explosives packed fighters made with recycled aluminium. Quote
Reïvaj Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 And at least Kawamori get rid of the god-damn shield thing.... But the YF-30 has shields on both arms!!! Quote

Pm me please so we can keep this thread on topic. Edited December 6, 2013 by Smiley424 Quote
