Deadeye_281 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Here's a couple more from my phone. image.jpgimage.jpg I really like the color pigments that they've used here, that particular red against the black looks really vibrant and crisp. Nice looking valk...even if it has no fast packs. Quote

Nice looking valk...even if it has no fast packs. In the game it was only ever operated within the atmosphere anyway so there wouldn't have been any need to develop fast packs for it. Quote
Deadeye_281 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 In the game it was only ever operated within the atmosphere anyway so there wouldn't have been any need to develop fast packs for it. True dat. Still, I'd love to see Kawamori's designs for FPs. I'm sure he's got scribblings scattered somewhere, much like he did for the VF-4 FP concept. Quote
Mommar Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) True dat. Still, I'd love to see Kawamori's designs for FPs. I'm sure he's got scribblings scattered somewhere, much like he did for the VF-4 FP concept. Possibly. They'd likely be very small, like the YF-19 or 21, considering it doesn't really need any additional ordinance with that giant missile box it has. If I had to wager anything there would likely be something attached to the rear of the legs and possibly another wing mounted booster, a la the SV-51, since they have very similar configurations despite aping the VF-25 in many ways.

Xigfrid Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I don't really like the paint scheme, there is supposedly a grey band in front of the red one. This one is painted black instead. But I love the numerous "No Step" warnings if they come pre-applied just like the previous Bandai releases. I'am not sure which line is more accurate to the line art. See picture attached. I would say there is two way to describe the fuselage: Straight/Straight/Round or Straight/Round. I was fan of the Straight / Straight / Round design and it appears that the prototype is more like Straight/Round Quote
Mommar Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I actually really hate all of the no step tampo Bandai does. It stands out way too much. The no step markings are generally very subtle on aircraft and I feel like the decals we get on the Yamcadia's are more subtle and look better. Quote

At least this one doesn't have YF-30 markings all over ! (VF-171EX) Quote
Mommar Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 At least this one doesn't have YF-30 markings all over ! (VF-171EX) True. I just don't like how many times they're repeated, how big they are, how close they are together, the pattern used and how bright they are. It takes a detail that should be subtle and makes it garish. Quote
wm cheng Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Yes, I wished they included waterslide decals for those of us who want it. However I do like that they do Tampo all the other markings, the NO STEPS are a little garish though especially since they're in a serif font - WTF? Quote
Tochiro Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 SAVE discusses seeing the YF-30 Chronos up close and personal (among other things) in the latest episode of Macross SpeakerPODcast!http://www.macrossworld.com/6361/macross-speakerpodcast-ep-13-this-is-a-test-of-the-emergency-broadcast-system/#more-6361 Quote
warrhead Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 I skipped around because a lot of it doesn't really interest me, but I couldn't find discussion of the YF-30. Whereabouts in the podcast is the discussion? Quote
Mommar Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 The listing of topics for the podcast underneath states the topic is at thirty nine minutes however it's realistically more like around forty seven or forty eight minutes. And there isn't much there. The run-down is, everything on it looked like a finished production except for the portion that holds the missile box, which was still resin. No release was given. That's it. Quote
Tochiro Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Thanks for the feedback. Have split the timestamps for the Anime Japan report to make it easier to find. Quote

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 i still want to see this stand on it's own in battroid. the ozma looks so dark in the lighting but looking at the reflection on the ground it looks like a much lighter grey. Quote
aaajin Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 is it just me or did bandai changed the underbelly color of ozma's VF-29 to white? Quote
Mommar Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 It does look like the Ozma is white on the bottom for some reason. Interesting pose they have the YF-30 Gerwalk in. It looks very SV-51-like doesn't it? Not how it was ever portrayed in the game. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 that's the light, changing him to airwolf Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Yeah, the white on the bottom of the YF-29 Ozma was the first thing I noticed before even looking at the 30. Pics, pics and pics are cool for Bandai to put out but I'm curious about price and release date. -b. Quote

skullmilitia Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 It's the lightning, the reflection of it below is grey. Quote
Mommar Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Man, I hope they do repaints because I really want a couple of 30's for each mode. Quote
aaajin Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Looking at the light source it does look like its the lighting. Quote
Hey-Pi-Ron Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Give me a release date!!! I think Bandai give us release date after Ozmaz's YF-29 release. And I still don't know take Ozmaz YF-29 or wait then YF-30 come to us. YF-29 is just VF-25 with smaller then regular tornado pack pre-installed. YF-30 - new mold with not-the-same transformation. I don't know which one is better... Edited April 4, 2014 by Hey-Pi-Ron Quote
Sildani Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 I like the 30's wings much better then the 29's, plus the integrated missile pack is very nifty. So that's my decision sorted. As for the 30 being a new design and mold - well, perhaps, but the fighter's nose all the way down to the wing roots looks exactly like a 25's, with some added details and fold quartz crystals. Quote
Scyla Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Give as a release date already. Including information abound web exclusive weapon packs so we can switch out the missile pod against something more reminiscent of a BFG and conformal missiles for the hard points the toy has. Quote
charger69 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Give me a release date!!! Ta da! BTW can't read Japanese, August 2014 for pre-order date or for release date? Edited April 4, 2014 by charger69 Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 i'm not paying 21600yen for it and amiami doesn't excite me anymore.... maybe it'll be 18,000yen earlybird? Quote
