Mommar Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Oh hell, I'm gonna have to bite. I like that head style in Battroid. I noticed that website linked to mentions 2014|6? Does that mean this sucker is coming in June? Looks like it fell backwards to me. Maybe it's the angle of the picture. You don't like the Gerwalk Slalom look? Also, where's my YF-30 news, dammit?

warrhead Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Please bandai, web exclusive please Is this an ironic comment or what am I missing? Sorry if I'm being a little thick, but what is the advantage of a web exclusive? Also, there is a comment on this thread about "F5 ami ami" and preorder b.s. ... could someone please clarify this? I know what ami ami is, but "F5"? Thanks Quote

I know what ami ami is, but "F5"? Thanks Are you new to DX Chogokin releases? If a release is a web exclusive, it would mean we would not have to scramble to get one in the very limited time window the a typical DX Chogokin Valk takes to sell out. This is because Web Exclusives are made to order (they have a cut off date instead). Regular retail releases on the other hand tend to sell out very quickly (probably due in part to limited quantity for each retailer), so every time a preorder goes up, it's a mad rush to get even 1 order in. Thus constant F5s to refresh the order page. Those who don't make it, are usually resigned to the fate of paying a higher mark up price later through other channels like Nippon Yasan or the aftermarket Edited February 21, 2014 by SaitouSad Quote
Moosey Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Dammnit Bandai.. just give us the VF-25S reissue What he said........ Quote

Firefox Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 must get this one. Hopefully I could get one in time. I would drop YF-30 for this. Quote
master of macross Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) ho only s 1 kit 1/72...it 'che ... ora vendo kit e compro 2x di questo è incredibile ;)spero che sia tamashii, non regolare ... Edited February 21, 2014 by master of macross Quote
chyll2 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 they should have at least developed YF-24. anyway, besides the head, what is/are the other difference between this and VF-25? Quote
Falcon18 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Bandai's definitely trolling everyone. Looks cool though. It's gotta be said...that's a pretty lame Gerwalk pose for that picture I find it cool. Like it's strafing to its left. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 It looks like it was born w two left legs Quote
Tking22 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Holy crap! That's butt-ugly, I'd rather get a shot at a re-issue VF-25S than this. Quote
skullmilitia Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Is it missing the lower leg wings? I don't see them popping out of the lower leg panels. Quote
VF5SS Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 With all the video game repaints they've been doing, I can imagine we'll see Leon's YF-25 from Macross 30 at some point. Quote
modelglue Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 anyway, besides the head, what is/are the other difference between this and VF-25? According to what I can discern, the head and cockpit are different. The YF-25 Prophecy model has a two seater cockpit that looks as if it was meant to hold two occupants regularly like the VF-0B/D.

Mechapilot77 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) i still think the 25 is the best design in the whole frontier/video game series of valks. This 2 seat version reminds me of just how good it is. also its got a unique color scheme that is jarring at first but grows on you. i want one. must get. will prioritize above trying to track down a yf-29 ozma. i seriously need more display space/cabinets. dx chogokins take up so much space! Edited February 21, 2014 by Mechapilot77 Quote
close313 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 But it's not really much of a mold difference since the 25/29 have two seats anyway. Leon's YF-25 is definitely inevitable. Quote
Twoducks Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Ok, now this one I want... Welp, there goes a chunk of my bonus Official Tamashii link http://tamashii.jp/special/pickup/201406vzpcg/ Oh, and it says this: ※上記商品は一般店頭での発売を予定しております。 which basically means General Release....... Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! Quote
Deadeye_281 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Meh, pass for me. It's certainly a nice looking scheme with a cool battroid head but in the end, it's just another 25 in every other aspect. Man, they're really milking the 25 mold prior to re-releasing Ozma's 25S... Quote
skull_leader001 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 crap!!! another valkyrie repainted... i want the "yf-30" Quote
Kyp Durron Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Dammnit Bandai.. just give us the VF-25S reissue and YF-30 already I know, right? Goddamn you Bandai, quit screwing around and give us our Ozma re-release already. Edited February 21, 2014 by Kyp Durron Quote
warrhead Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Another stupid question: is this a good thread to check in with to secure a pre-order or should I just be obsessively checking Ami Ami regularly to secure one? Or both? As a new dad my time is somewhat limited for obsessing over Macross but I want to make sure I get this, the -30 and Arcadia's -0D. Thanks for yer patience. Edited February 21, 2014 by warrhead Quote
Jasonc Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Now the waiting game comes again. I'll get one, just to complete the line. Actually, I kinda like this one better than the others. Quote
moose Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Is anyone else tired of repaints I get we all like them but stillusing every color in the rainbow still a cheap method to get sales I want a new mold something different.it looks nice but you know money is tight and we all collect different things so got to give preference Edited February 21, 2014 by moose Quote
Dimis Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I've actually been asking for this for at least 1 year ! Just when the YF-29 repaints were slowly curing my collector's bug ! Quote

So with this, it seems more and more likely Bandai might make a YF-24 except for the fact that side-by-side they're VERY similar looking in fighter mode. Edited February 21, 2014 by Mommar Quote
wmkjr Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Arrgh!!! Turn off my computer one minute and then looky here... gotta try to get one. Maybe they'll make a paladin parts kit a few months after release. Gotta find the paint color swatches Edited February 22, 2014 by wmkjr Quote
Guyffon Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 What i noticed in the pictures is that the lerx is a lot shorter in battleloid mode to the vf-25, aside from that i can't seem to find any other difference aside from the head. Quote
