ULessa Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Still wondering if I should get this. Could also fork out an additional $30 for an alto version :X This hobby is going to be the end of me. Quote

That is entirely up to you, I think both are cool, but If you want to get a hero Valk (Alto) there is a reissue of the VF-25F coming in July, you should be able to get it at retail price. Yes, Macross collecting can be hazardous to your bank account. Good luck. Edited May 26, 2014 by Saburo Quote

Silverstreak Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) I just realised that I have a pair of socks whose colour scheme matches this valk perfectly Edited May 26, 2014 by Silverstreak Quote
Dark_Ghost Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Release date : June 21, 2014 Edited May 26, 2014 by Dark_Ghost Quote
Saburo Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 When are the pre-orders opened? I think I saw it on a few sites but that might've been an old listing. Both the YF-25 Prophecy and the VF-25F July reissue pre-orders have already opened and have been closed. For the VF-25F most of the shops have re-opened a previous listing of the VF-25F for the July reissue. My suggestion is to keep an eye on MW and shops once they are released and you should be able to order. Dark_Ghost has posted the release date for the YF-25, I quoted it below. Release date : June 21, 2014 Can't wait! -b. Me too, my wallet isn't to looking forward to it. I'll be recovering from vacation spending when it releases. Quote
Loop Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Luckily I pre-paid for one of the 2 units I have on pre-order. Decided it will be nice to diplay in fighter and battroid. But especially battroid because the head is so sweet on this one. Quote

YF-29 Durandal Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Pre-orders are still up at Plamoya. http://plamoya.com/en/dx-chogokin-yf25-prophecy-p-94580.html Quote
ff95gj Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 The Plamoya pre-order comes with a hefty shipping charge. So watch out! Quote
Gun pod 78 Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Yeah no kidding! They quoted me $705.00 ouch! I'll take my chances at time of release. Quote
ULessa Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 So is the shipping on Plamoya just an estimate for the time being? Quote
ff95gj Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 They effectively mean that the preorder is closed. But if you insist and are willing to pay... fine. Quote
close313 Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Not estimation, but it's like listing the item at a lower price and gouge the buyer with the "shipping" - therefore making it the same as the market price. It's rampant in ebay especially. Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 The Plamoya pre-order comes with a hefty shipping charge. So watch out! I just noticed the shipping prices they have for the YF-25 and I would never pay more than Japan Posts regular rates. I would in fact avoid Plamoya and their shady tactics altogether. Quote
Jasonc Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Yeah, that's shady as F!@#! Not even worth a look. Quote
neoexcaliber Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Just wait for the release. I have a feeling it's gonna end up just like the VF-27. Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Just got a payment request from NY for this. What's the official release date again? Quote
xrentonx Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Just got mine too...says payment is due on the 19th so is this thing getting released this month? Quote
ULessa Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Well the shipping is back to normal on Plamoya instead of their crazy $150 shipping from before Quote
TaikoD Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Yeah.. me too just got payment request from NY. Guess it's coming this month hopefully Quote
ff95gj Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 It says June 21: http://www.tamashii.jp/item/10637/ Quote
firefly Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Sorry to asking this but is it build with the renewal body? or a renewal prophecy could be come in few month? Quote
Dimis Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Sorry to asking this but is it build with the renewal body? or a renewal prophecy could be come in few month? Yes on the revised VF-25. Can't wait me too, although the very precise paint lines worry me a bit! Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Give me the yellow and white one with the green transparant face instead, Bandai. This is what I'm talking about: Edited June 9, 2014 by YF-29 Durandal Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Ain't that the 1/72 kit..?? I'm talking about the colour scheme. Quote
CoreyD Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Hah, just got my payment request from N-Y. "This product will be soon in stock (Chogokin Hello Kitty)" They sent a correction right after for the YF-25. Still funny though. Quote
ULessa Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 I'm so on the fence for this one. Do I want one? Seems like there'll be leftovers after though for this release. Quote

ULessa Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 ... Yeah the price will drop on this one after release. Yay for cheap(er) Valks Quote
Rabidweezil Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Hah, just got my payment request from N-Y. "This product will be soon in stock (Chogokin Hello Kitty)" They sent a correction right after for the YF-25. Still funny though. Same thing happened to me. I just hope they know which is which when they box up my order! Quote
