xrentonx Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Yeah, it's up http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/4936-macross-f-armored-parts-dx-chogokin-vf-171-nightmare-plus-regular-limited-edition.html About 11% markup...not bad. Edited April 12, 2013 by xrentonx Quote
Scyla Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 It's been awhile since I watched Frontier. What color are the armor parts on the canon fodder anyway? Same as the 171EX? I quoted a post from Veef regarding the color of the Super Parts of the VF-171 CF over at the CF-tread. I don't know how to quote from one topic to another. Sorry. Quote
master of macross Posted April 12, 2013 Author Posted April 12, 2013 buy buy buy for this it's easy...why not easy for vf25f renewal? Quote

Duymon Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 the 11% markup is prolly because NY is purchasing it from Bandai's webstore at retail I assume. Would not be worth their time if they stocked these and sold for no profit Quote

Would not be worth their time if they stocked these and sold for no profit Naturally ...I was expecting something a little higher like 15% or 20% though. The 11% puts them in line with my proxy buyer for this item. The only other thing to compare is shipping costs. I might split the purchase and get one from NY and one from the proxy.

Lolicon Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Oh my god! MDEs! Might have to get a two sets... Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Argh, I was going to pass on this, but now I'm considering it just to get the hardpointed wings and MDE bombs. I don't even want the armor or plan to use it. Quote
Graham Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I definitely think the CF looks better without the armour. But I've ordered one set just for the wings and missiles, as in the TV series it's usually always shown with wing missiles. Graham Quote
Mommar Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Yeah, they figured out how to sell these again by adding the extra bombs. I wasn't interested in more armor parts but the bombs I do want. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 sweet. i just preordered a set too but forgot to change to USD though. doh! hopefully the yen drops against dollar a bit. Quote

Graham Finger still hovering or is it now firmly planted but not pressing yet? Quote
kyekye Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Got 1 pre-ordered at NY! AE also has it, but at a little higher price. In case NY closes pre-order Quote
David Hingtgen Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I may pass--I want screen-accurate grey armor, not Alto's navy blue. I do want the nukes, but not badly enough to pay for the whole set in the wrong color. Quote
Duymon Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Just get an airbrush and paint it grey ;p My little Iwata airbrush is ready Just kinda blagh that I have to do this 6x since I got 6 CF's in the pipe O_o Edited April 12, 2013 by Duymon Quote
Loop Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I pre-ordered 3x for the 3x 171's I have on order. I think they look pretty awesome myself. Quote
xrentonx Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 They would be awesome in grey but I'll live. I need those bombs. Quote
skullmilitia Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Grabbed a set, Those bombs are pure tits. Quote
Loop Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Grabbed a set, Those bombs are pure tits. To me the bombs are Multi Dimensional Tits! Edited April 12, 2013 by Loop Quote
Mommar Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I suppose there's always the possibility someone will point out they have the colors wrong and change them. They aren't due out until September anyway. Quote
Loop Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Knowing Bandai's past history though with colors not being right, they may just leave them as is too. Quote
Mommar Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Hopefully Kawamori will get a look and tell them "no" or something. Quote
Loop Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Hopefully Kawamori will get a look and tell them "no" or something. I hope so, I would prefer the grey color. Quote
Duymon Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 since those who purchase are gonna have spare underwing stores, wish we could slap them onto our renewal 25's :0 Quote
David Hingtgen Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 In addition to being the wrong color, it's the wrong missiles, too. I want these ship-killer missiles: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=99337 Did the CF even use the dorsal-mounted weapons? I'll gladly trade the beam rifle for these. Quote
