takatoys Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Pay for one or wait for a better deal when released? Quote
Loop Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 I am always scared to miss out on at least getting 1, so I pre-order. I am seriously thinking about a second, but will wait and see, not like I really need it lol. I wonder if this will be all that popular though with random sites still able to take in pre-orders.

Mommar Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 I've been looking at this Battroid pic over and over. Such an awesome looking design. Quote
mechaninac Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Alternate color schemes? I'm fairly positive that is a certainty. They have to amortize all that tooling and all; just look at all the YF-29s to get an idea where this is going... I hope. Edited June 10, 2014 by mechaninac Quote
ULessa Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Just try to remember how much the Alto YF-29 costs in comparison to the rest of the repaints. The original may be something worth getting. Quote

They have to amortize all that tooling and all; just look at all the YF-29s to get an idea where this is going... I hope. Exactly, unless Bandai being Bandai decided not to. Like we still have yet to get repaints for the "renewal" VF-27y. Maybe they got scared of repainting it due to the bad sales, I guess. Quote
spanner Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Alternate color schemes? I'm fairly positive that is a certainty. They have to amortize all that tooling and all; just look at all the YF-29s to get an idea where this is going... I hope. I would certainly hope so too but like the VF-25 range for example having multiple characters piloting the type ie Alto, Ozma, Luca, Michael etc, does the YF-30 have any additional characters to justify additional repaints? I guess cannon fodder colors and alternate prototype paints like the YF-19 Double Nuts & Bird of Prey are more likely or easier to pull off for Bandai if they chose to yes?? To apologize in advance if this has already been covered and.. I haven't played the Macross 30 game at all either so I wouldn't know any further details regarding the or any story line behind Macross 30 or the YF-30.. Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Looks like CD Japan has sold out... searching on "YF-30" gives no result. ¥23,990 at Nin-Nin Game: http://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/japanese-import-figures-pre-order/10913-macross-30-yf-30-chronos-dx-chogokin-en.html Edited June 10, 2014 by YF-29 Durandal Quote
Loop Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I hope they do repaints, I usually squad build but would hate to do that with a bunch of the same schemes unless they are CF schemes. I wish they had variants on the YF-30, like D/A/J/S or A/F/S/G/RVF??. Quote

I wish they had variants on the YF-30, like D/A/J/S or A/F/S/G/RVF??. Hmm, what colors do you think would work. I personally like the current one alot and would like to see the red replaced with yellow. Quote
Saburo Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 If they make variants based on the game, I am all for the Skywarp color scheme. Quote
ULessa Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 If they make variants based on the game, I am all for the Skywarp color scheme. So what variants do they have in the game? Never played it Quote
xrentonx Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) I think there are only two variants, a black and purple one and another one that is a lot more red. Third post down for pics: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=37897&page=18 Edited June 11, 2014 by xrentonx Quote

Third post down for pics: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=37897&page=18 Thanks. Think I made the right choice to go with the original (assuming that they will follow the games variants). Purple looks interesting but that red one is too much (reminds me of lucifer) Quote

Third post down for pics: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=37897&page=18 It would be nice to have a Valkyrie from Bandai with a camo-pattern.... They do have a camo pattern right? This is not some kind of shading thing? Quote
David Hingtgen Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 It would be nice to have a Valkyrie from Bandai with a camo-pattern.... They do have a camo pattern right? This is not some kind of shading thing? I sure hope so, because black+grey looks awesome: Exactly, unless Bandai being Bandai decided not to. Like we still have yet to get repaints for the "renewal" VF-27y. Maybe they got scared of repainting it due to the bad sales, I guess. If not Grace's, then give us more game recolors. Purple stripes look awesome on the -27: Quote
ULessa Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Doubt that Bandai is going to touch the VF-27 again. Would definitely like to see the purple stripe in toy form though Quote
ULessa Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Wait wtf. I thought that CDJapan only takes your money when it ships. Wtf is this. Quote
SaitouSad Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Wait wtf. I thought that CDJapan only takes your money when it ships. Wtf is this. Only if you're paying via Credit Card. If you selected Paypal, I'm fairly sure you pay immediately. Also, worry not, you can still cancel it. But you gotta write to them to do so. Quote
Scyla Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) I think someone said the take the money immediately when paying with PayPal. If you order with credit card as payment method they will claim the money when the item is ready to ship. This is what is written on their website: Source: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/guide/help/faq/faq_credit_debit_cards Credit Cards When you place the order, we will make an authorization request which may appear on the online account details as a pending charge. The official charge will be made after the package ships out, usually within 1-2 weeks from the shipping date. If you pre-order an item, you will not be charged until the item is released. However you will need to have the total amount in your account in order to receive authorization. Debit Cards Debit cards are processed when the order is placed. Edited June 11, 2014 by Scyla Quote
ULessa Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) EDIT: Ah crap. So they do have a difference in Credit/ Debit payments. Dammit... EDIT 2: Do you guys think it'll be possible to cancel all 3 of my orders (its separate) and let them combine it into 1 shipment? Kinda thinking about using EMS instead of Registered SAL Edited June 11, 2014 by ULessa Quote
Scyla Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Might be possible. You should check the FaQs on the CD Japan site and contact their customer support which is available in English I believe. Quote
spanner Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 still open for pre orders at Toy Dojo.. http://www.toydojo.com/dx-chogokin-macross-yf-30-chronos-variable-fighter-valkyrie/ Quote
ULessa Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Do you guys think I should smack all 3 orders into 1 shipment using EMS? :X Quote
sreichma Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I hope they do repaints, I usually squad build but would hate to do that with a bunch of the same schemes unless they are CF schemes. I wish they had variants on the YF-30, like D/A/J/S or A/F/S/G/RVF??. The best i saw was the flat gray of the prototype of the 30 at the beginning of the thread. Honestly, i didnt know what the 30 was so i actually thought the prototype color was the true color. Quote
Mommar Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) So what variants do they have in the game? Never played it Veef posted pics of the other four color schemes a month ago. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=37897&page=46 Edited June 11, 2014 by Mommar Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) Do you guys think I should smack all 3 orders into 1 shipment using EMS? :X Yes, definitely but don't cancel any orders just ask them to change it or someone else may snatch you cancelled orders. Edited June 11, 2014 by YF-29 Durandal Quote
Mommar Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 And the page before that he posted a pic of the Red scheme in Battroid (which looks awesome to me.) http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=37897&page=45 Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 The purple+black and grey one looks absolutely gorgeous but I can wait until 2015 for one. Quote
ULessa Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 The White/Black/Purple is really intriguing but I feel that people are going to flip that all they did was change the stripe colors :X Next variant will definitely be the Grey/Black/*wtv* or the Red one Quote
Benson13 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 This just needs to come out already. I'm done waiting. And announce it's super pack too. Quote
Saburo Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 This just needs to come out already. I'm done waiting. And announce it's super pack too. I agree, I almost have all the money for the 30s I ordered on the side. Quote
