wm cheng Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I'm opening both of my RVF-171's. Both Alto's are fine, I'm going with the notion it's like Alto and not the CF. It's out already? I didn't get any shipping notice, only Payment OK. Quote
Pedro2k6 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 It's out already? I didn't get any shipping notice, only Payment OK. He means when is out. Quote
Dimis Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 It's out already? I didn't get any shipping notice, only Payment OK. I believe Mommar wanted to say that he will be opening them when he gets them. According to Tamashii.jp, it will be released on Friday. Quote
wm cheng Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Oh ok, thanks! It seems like its been a while since we got our YF-30 - I'm looking forward to this one. Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 So we should get it in time for Halloween Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 So we should get it in time for Halloween Those triangles (well the entire release for that matter) had better be more treat than trick. Spooooookkkkyyyyyy -b. Quote
Dimis Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Those triangles (well the entire release for that matter) had better be more treat than trick. Spooooookkkkyyyyyy -b. I'm sorry but according to this video.... this release has perfect QC.... hopefully they didn't have to start over a dozen times with new copies because the triangles were evaporating in the process!!

MacrossJunkie Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) I'm sorry but according to this video.... this release has perfect QC.... hopefully they didn't have to start over a dozen times with new copies because the triangles were evaporating in the process!! Everytime they did a cut, it was probably to replace the crumbling triangles I don't like the fact that you need an extra piece that has to be taken on and off for transformation. It's a crucial piece to try to keep track of or lose and it seems a little lazy to me. Can it even be considered PT at that point? I mean it's not extraneous stuff like covers that improve the look or a brace to make something more stable. At least with the RVF-25, the adapter piece for the shield could stay on for fighter mode.

Mommar Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) No it's not PT for the simple fact they completely fraked up Battroid mode. The entire antenna should shift downwards towards the butt and stick further out backward in Battroid so the back can fold up like normal. Even with their additional piece to make the backpack stay it isn't nearly correct. Bandai are half-assing things more and more these days. Edited October 22, 2014 by Mommar Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 I see. So this 171Ex backpack protrudes more. It shows big gap than Alto's or CF's 171Ex. Didn't expect that this one will also have a stabilizer piece for the backpack and the radar-stabilizer thingy. Not to mention the display stand. This release definitely needs love from the YetiStand. Quote
Loop Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Mine is staying in fighter mode, not a fan of the 171 transformation and I don't really care for the way the back looks in battroid. The walker stand is pretty bad too lol. I wonder if they release the ghost set for this one? Quote
Valk-1S Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Have to wait overtime as the VF-171 CF variant, there were some initial cracking and breakage, but a lot of the issues also came over time when it started cracking and breaking just sitting in the box. But since the Alto version had no issues, hopefully they have a good batch of plastic this time. Quote
Loop Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Yeah I also hope that the triangles are fine on this one. I had no problems on the Alto one, but someone here claimed it was happening on that model too. My CF 171's all seem fine though thus far. I transformed all 3 of them to battroid right away though so my triangles are not pressed up against other plastic parts like it is in fighter mode. I have a feeling that the tolerances were too tight when they said they updated the tolerance spec on the CF versions. I am scared to put them back in to fighter mode. Quote

MacrossJunkie Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 are its ghosts different from that of the rvf-25? I believe they were still AIF-7S ghosts. I don't recall if they were the same color or not though. Quote

The walker stand is pretty bad too lol. I wonder if they release the ghost set for this one? I never liked transforming this! My Alto stays in fighter mode. My 2 CF's have never been transformed but the triangles on one have broke and the knee as well when I brought the legs down to put on the armor but I still ordered the Luca RVF-171. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 When I get mine and take photos of it in all three modes, it's going in fighter mode and staying there as well. Hmmm, I wonder how my customized armor parts that I painted gray would look on this. Quote

wmkjr Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Mommar has a screen grab of the ghost on the previous page. Quote

Mommar has a screen grab of the ghost on the previous page. thanks! =) i got a set of the single ghost + weapons load out before i found out about the super pack + 3 ghosts (which i promptly hunted down). i think i'll use the single ghost + weapons or super pack on the rvf-25 and use the 3 ghosts with the rvf-171 Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I'm still worrying about the triangles but I think they should be fixed Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 I'm still worrying about the triangles but I think they should be fixed It'll probably be the feet that fall off or some other random foolishness. -b. Quote

ChaoticYeti Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Did anyone pick up multiples? Willing to sell one? Loan one? Quote
CoreyD Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Hey Yeti, I paid for mine through N-Y, but I'm totally willing to sell once it gets here. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Hey Yeti, I paid for mine through N-Y, but I'm totally willing to sell once it gets here. Ok. We'll see. I don't have much interest in it. A few people have asked about a YetiStand adapter to replace the geriatric adapter it comes with. How about a free YetiStand adapter for the RVF-171 for anyone willing to loan one out? Preferably someone close to 55430. Maybe even meet up in person. Quote

ChaoticYeti Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Well, if it turns out nothing explodes on this release, I may just buy one. Quote
Loop Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 are its ghosts different from that of the rvf-25? The ghosts for this one had a white/green color that matches up to the RVF really nicely. Quote
skullmilitia Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Don't forget, if they come out with a RVF-171 General machine, the super parts are different, they have the normal super parts, but also had dual fold boosters on the wings.I'd really prefer the CF version over this Luca version. Quote

MacrossJunkie Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Ep 6 was the first time they showed the RVF-171 with the dual fold boosters. Quote
Mommar Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 The stupid pins holding on the wings would never be able to support that additional weight. Quote
