spanner Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) I wasn't so sure about the VF-30 when I first saw it.. Especially b'cos of the overhead missile pod which kinda looked like an afterthought. But.. slowly and surely its certainly grown on me! I quite like the look of it in fighter mode! If I can find somewhere to pre-order or maybe purchase when its released I'll be definitely getting one! Edited May 25, 2014 by spanner76 Quote
Shukenzero Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Definitely a lot better with the new pics. Battroid mode looks decent finally, as spanner76 mentioned. Did the 30 have optional parts in the game? I never got that far into it. Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Definitely a lot better with the new pics. Battroid mode looks decent finally, as spanner76 mentioned.

No it doesn't, although Kawamori has said that the missile pack could be swapped out with something like a large beam cannon or other things. Quote
Shukenzero Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Thanks for the info. A mega cannon would be boss Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 No it doesn't, although Kawamori has said that the missile pack could be swapped out with something like a large beam cannon or other things. Considering that a skilled pilot can outmaneuver a full swarm of those micro missiles a beam cannon would be a much better choice. Quote
Scyla Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I think a beam cannon would be more handy if the Chronos is up against something big and immobile like a capital ship. Quote
Mommar Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Considering that a skilled pilot can outmaneuver a full swarm of those micro missiles a beam cannon would be a much better choice. Not every pilot in the Galaxy is Roy or Max. 99.9% of them will NOT be able to avoid a swarm that large. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 ...still stalking the usual places for them to re-open their pre-orders. It's exhausting work. -b. Quote
firefly Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 I don't know if this question is asked before but does he have a old body like first VF 25 if yes do you thinking in a future a renewal YF 30? Quote
Gakken85 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 ...still stalking the usual places for them to re-open their pre-orders. It's exhausting work. -b. Id keep an eye open around release. I'm sure some will loosen up. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Id keep an eye open around release. I'm sure some will loosen up. True. I'm just hoping for some random opening so I can check this off of my 'to-do' list. -b. Quote
Shukenzero Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 True. I'm just hoping for some random opening so I can check this off of my 'to-do' list. -b. If you can't secure one online, buzz me and I'll let you know what the local Hong Kong prices are at, as at least I can physically get hold of the damn things. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 If you can't secure one online, buzz me and I'll let you know what the local Hong Kong prices are at, as at least I can physically get hold of the damn things. Will do, thank you. And lucky you to be able to walk into a storefront and find some of the items you want to purchase. -b. Quote
Shukenzero Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 Will do, thank you. And lucky you to be able to walk into a storefront and find some of the items you want to purchase. -b. I moved to Hong Kong and that's when I started collecting Macross...and every other thing! Toys are everywhere here! Still surprising the Ozma is not in stock everywhere. Usually no matter how hard to find a product is, HK shops will have it, price notwithstanding. Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Newer pics of this look good. Will be Interesting to see how it holds itself together though. Fighter mode is still the best looking to me. Quote
Silverstreak Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Fighter mode is the only reason I would consider buying it. Quote
SaitouSad Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 True. I'm just hoping for some random opening so I can check this off of my 'to-do' list. -b. Fastest fingers first. CD Japan just put up 1 more for sale http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-111209 Quote
ULessa Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Didn't know CDJapan required payment immediately wtv. Put down my order. Will definitely be cheaper than getting it afterward Quote
SaitouSad Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 I didn;t know CD Japan required immediate payment. Probably cause you picked Paypal or something?When I set it to pay via my credit card, they only charge it when it is ready to ship. You could still cancel before then. Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 I just pre-ordered... EMS is expensive though. Quote
ULessa Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 I just pre-ordered... EMS is expensive though. Register SAL all the way. Not sure why the hell EMS is $57. Quote
CoreyD Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Fastest fingers first. CD Japan just put up 1 more for sale http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-111209 Thanks for the heads up. I just ordered one as well. Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Register SAL all the way. Not sure why the hell EMS is $57. Yeah but I don't want to wait two, three weeks for it. EMS takes five to seven days to reach me. Edited June 5, 2014 by YF-29 Durandal Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Fastest fingers first. CD Japan just put up 1 more for sale http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-111209 Thank you! BUT Nope, not paying $ 60 for EMS. I've kind of resigned myself to being a lot more patient so as not to over-pay. If that means that I don't get one, well then so be it. -b. Quote
Scyla Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Well you can always buy some AoE Transformers to keep you occupied while waiting for the package from Japan. Quote
ULessa Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Gave in and bought two. Time two sell my guitars to make back that moolah. Poor wallet Quote
CRYO Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Long open window again . Just pre ordered one, happy to be shipped by registered SAL. Edited June 5, 2014 by CRYO Quote
Duymon Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 YF-30 with Registered SAL on CD japan is only 217 dollars, which is pretty good. Including the 2 I have at NY I'll be looking at 5 YF-30s O_o Quote
CoreyD Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Yeah, I used registered SAL as well. I figure I'm already waiting until August, what's another 3 weeks? Quote
Mommar Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 YF-30 with Registered SAL on CD japan is only 217 dollars, which is pretty good. Including the 2 I have at NY I'll be looking at 5 YF-30s O_o Will you be customizing some of them? Quote
Duymon Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Will you be customizing some of them? I'm going to change the accents to grey on one or more. The Luca-green also is looking like a nice option if I can find the right color mix for it. Quote
mechaninac Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Caved in as well, and since I had a few points available for redemption with them the total came to just under $210 shipped by SAL, pending the exchange rate at the time the amount is actually charged, and how much of a transaction fee my CD will hit me with. I'm not too happy paying full price when I know that this was fleetingly available at a discount, but at least I can cross this off the list. Quote
Duymon Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Full Price doesn't really bother me. Pretty much Everything else pre-ordered from sites outside of 1999, hlj and amiami are full-priced and any other pre-order for other products like games / electronics are full-priced so I think discounts are the exception, not the norm. Quote
Silverstreak Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 I too caved. That fighter mode just looks so cool. It gives me some incentive to clean up the nitro 1/8th buggy and sell it so I can make the cash back. And yes, SAL for the win Quote
