Sildani Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) I was wondering about that. Lovely machine, regardless. I see it has all the necessary holes for the super parts - any idea if Bandai intends to re-issue them separately, or of they just can't be bothered? Edited March 28, 2015 by Sildani Quote
McFly!! Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Yes, thanks for the new pics! Is it just because it's new and shiny or does that valk look like it has more detailed panel lines? Quote
Sildani Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Something else too: if it's painted, that explains why this particular example looks more matte in appearance than Brera's 27 or the previous Beta version - Bandai used a matte green paint. Wonder if that's how these new Betas will be made - Bandai will take their unsold stock of Gammas and paint them. Quote
Loop Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 I hope not! Has anyone figured out if they are going to paint on the modex number or will they leave them off? I would prefer stickers or dry transfers if possible. Quote
Scyla Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 *snip* cr: TagHobby The 102 doesn't look like a sticker to me. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Considering it's a custom-painted sample, it likely has water-slide or dry-transfer numbers. Dry transfers for the actual release would be awesome though. Quote

Wonder if that's how these new Betas will be made - Bandai will take their unsold stock of Gammas and paint them. Looking at the official marketing images, it certainly looks less glossy there too. I always thought Brera's 27 was a bit too glossy, so this is good! (personal pref of course) Man, I sure hope they don't just repaint old stock, haha! Quote
spanner Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 they will look awesome together! Im surprised its taken them this long to release a renewal Grace.. I'd say there will be no improvements or alterations to the original Brera mold for the new Grace.. other than the CF head unit. Quote

derex3592 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Did the original green Grace have super parts? Some of the pics I've seen show some kind of something attached on the top of the plane. Do we know if the re-release come with this? Quote
wmkjr Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Maybe the fold booster? That came with the original one. Quote
slaginpit Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Hmm My wallet is grateful to bandai. Thanks for overpricing these soso toys. I am now onto other collectables. Bandai and Yamato or whatever they are not called can keep em. A fool is always parted with his money. Edited April 11, 2015 by slaginpit Quote
jenius Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Shouldn't that post go in whatever new forum you're jazzed about instead of preaching to the people happily still purchasing these items? Quote

chyll2 Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 You just wrote that you stopped one foolishness to concentrate on others; so, still foolish... yeah, any hobby in a sense, does and does not make any sense. Quote
Duymon Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Any hobby is a money sink. I Just tell my SO that she should be glad I don't collect cars or something Back on Topic, it's gonna be fun having some CF's around. I wonder if they'll at least include the transparent green canopy like on the brera? Edited April 11, 2015 by Duymon Quote
Shukenzero Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Back on Topic, it's gonna be fun having some CF's around. I wonder if they'll at least include the transparent green canopy like on the brera? I'm pretty sure they will. Doesn't make sense to not include it as the canopy is able to switch out as per the new design. Either way it should be gorgeous with it on. If they don't include it I'll just slap on the one from Brera's. Quote
jodokast Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Did the release get pushed back? I could have sworn that it was a late June release, and now NY is showing late August. Quote
Valk-1S Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Did the release get pushed back? I could have sworn that it was a late June release, and now NY is showing late August. No, has always been for August. June should be the VF-171 Maruyama Custom. Quote
Mommar Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) Yes! Thanks IXTL, I was hoping new posts meant new pics. Yes, Scyla, that has been a point of contention for people who wanted to buy multiples and have a leader and two wing men. Ooooh, it doesn't come with two heads. Just the one head that transforms. Clever. Something I had not considered when picking up the unwanted super parts from the previous release, the white markings on the Brera have a light shading of red/blue in the mix. This green one will not have that... that color might clash. Edited May 22, 2015 by Mommar Quote
IXTL Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 Ooooh, it doesn't come with two heads. Just the one head that transforms. Clever. From what I understand from the text, the heads are indeed interchangeable. It's not just the horns, the cheek area detailing is also different. Quote
spanner Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 I just noticed that the guns are sitting in slightly different positions.. I wonder is that's just a little photo trickery happening or did they make a change to somewhere!? or its just mounted incorrectly.. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Those pictures make it look fairly matte compared to the other 27's. Quote
mickyg Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Exact same mold or are there some differences between this and the last release of the Brera type? Quote
Reïvaj Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Those pictures make it look fairly matte compared to the other 27's. It's the same painted prototype than before, so it only means they've used a nice matte paint. Quote
spanner Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 looks friggin awesome! Hope it does come more matte and less glossy! Quote
ErikElvis Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 I'm hurting in August. 2 of these and 2 vf-OA's. Not to mention a few other a few small things I can't remember. Quote
