Bandai DX YF-29 Isamu Coloring

me too , i got email from NY

[SaitouSad]

I just got the same notice... not sure if they're just playing it safe. I suspect it's because they've had numerous cancellations close to release date before. Afterall, many folks here cancelled their VF-171CF, VF-27, RVF-25 and possibly the VF-25A CF; And weren't there a fair share of YF-29 30th cancellations too? It would certainly explain the surplus of stocks left in their inventory post release.

Though this being a web-exclusive, shouldn't really be the case.

Off course this is all just conjecture on my part.

New message just came in, they said to disregard the payment request since they confirmed release is in December.

[Falcon18]

Maybe they just need earlier upfront payment before the release itself? To get an idea of numbers? Like how the YF-19 requires you to pay 6 months in advance..

Yep, same happened to me.

[Valkyrie Magnus]

Me too

[Shukenzero]

Paid mine already when I got the notice. Can't wait to get it

[XFJ-01A]

Has anyone heard of a Solid Release date for this?

[Falcon18]

Nope. Nothing known yet. Most probably end dec.

[Gakken85]

So wait people are paying for it already? so it will be the start of Dec?

Mine was paid for by a proxy dealer.

I need to find out if he already has it.

I think NY sent out their invoices a bit overeagerly. The VF-171EX Super Parts had the 25th of December last year. They where also a Tamashii Web exclusive. I assume the release date for the YF-29 will be similar (like late December).

any release date?

[sreichma]

Kept going back and looking at the picture and it got me. I pulled the trigger and clicked pre-order last night. Not having the "gills" on the side makes it look cool.

[Loop]

For me it's the fact that it's Isamu, it has a new head, and the gills are not painted on. Although the gills don't really bother me like the first time I ever saw the Alto variant.

[Falcon18]

Same here. Isamu, new head, gunpod with bayonet and a less "messy" colour overall.

[Loop]

Yeah how could I forget the bayonet

Awesome! Cant wait for it. Thanks for the info.

[TCracker]

Come to papa...

[typhoon]

I seriously doubt that I will receive my two copies prior to Christmas, but you never know......

This is really too much just to have for Christmas. December 21 is the date of despatch of Tamashii. In addition it is a Saturday. What makes a date of receipt of stores to 23 or 24 December.

With the holiday season, it is likely that stores send it after Christmas.

[Falcon18]

Agreed. I'm not expecting it to come till like the last days of December or first week of January. Of course, the earlier the better

[OzmaLee74]

Just received payment request from NY.

When I see this picture I get the notion that it's quadrupedal ...anyways... carry on.

Same here... 21st of December deadline for payment.

[sreichma]

I paid for mine yesterday, I also reached Bandai's Regional Office and explained I wanted to do a review. They are going to get me mine by 12/10/2013.

Just Kidding.

I did pay for it yesterday though.

I was about to believe you till I saw that blank area under your post :lol:

[Valkyrie addict]

Payed for mine, my first Bandai Frontier valk, I'm pretty much buying it for the "scalping potential", really hope this thing is worth the 180+ pricetag and they fixed those wonky flaws from the previews YF-29's.

My Focker YF-29 just arrived and I believe its an improvement over the Alto version - which I don't own yet and am still debating whether or not to pick it up. Given Bandai's history I expect even further improvements will be made to the Isamu version.

[Scream Man]

Both my 29's are fine?

[Chronocidal]

I'm just hoping they molded the thing in colors that make sense this time.. the silly paintschemes on the previous two required them to essentially mold the thing in one color, then paint over half of it.

unless they made new shutoffs in the mold i'm sure this thing will be molded the same way. however ,this decos seems to need less paint. i cancelled my order for this months ago but i may be drawn back in....it looks so good!

[Falcon18]

Probably just molded in the base colour and everything else will be painted (black stripes etc).

Given Bandai's recent offerings of the VF-25A and the 25G super parts, I have a feeling we'll see an improved version in this YF-29, i.e not having the flaws of the previous ones. I do hope I'm not wrong

[Reïvaj]

Which flaws if I may ask?
