mickyg Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Really? Man, I totally missed that. All this time I thought it was there to show the "what it would look like to the cyborg pilot" view of things. And honestly, all those sequences didn't make a lot of sense to me. Brera has a flight suit/No, he doesn't. Brera can see out his cockpit because the canopy is transparent/Cockpit is completely covered. It was confusing and I just chose to view it as "what it looks like to him" vs reality. Quote
3D-Brainx Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 In the movie the canopy clears right after he breaks the link to Macross Galaxy. I take it as a way of saying he freed himself from "that prison", of seeing thing clearly. Ok, may be I pushed it too much... Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I just saw it as ripping out the implant also made him lose his mind link to the VF so he had to eject the armored canopy to see. Quote
Scream Man Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Me too, I thought he had shifted to manual. Quote
Sildani Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Yes, I think that's what happens. Brera can "see" through the armored canopy because as a cyborg he's directly wired into the 27's sensors. That's a CG representation of the outside. When he breaks contact, he loses that ability, so the armor comes off and he's back to using the Mk 1 eyeball. Quote

This was exactly how I interpreted it as well. It was also a nice visual punctuation to him being "free". Made for a bigger gesture to have his canopy eject over just pulling the implant out. Quote
spanner Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 wow! mine has already landed in Sydney! That means I should have it Monday! sweet! Can't wait to see how well they fixed up the colors! Anyone else got theirs yet? I guess we would have seen photos if so.. Quote
no3Ljm Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Probably over this weekend we should see some photos from local Japanese hobbyists. Quote
wmkjr Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) I think the V1 is on the left and the newer one on the right: From https://twitter.com/ELS00QANT1 Edited August 28, 2015 by wmkjr Quote
spanner Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 yes v1 left and v1.5 right.. mate that looks tops! im more than happy with how the color is! now im really busting to get mine! Quote
Loop Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Looks like my hopes for a squad are ruined if they all have the 302 tampo printed on I might have a couple for sale in the near future if that's the case. I am not sure if there will be a way to hide it in a display set up. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 I think the V1 is on the left and the newer one on the right: From https://twitter.com/ELS00QANT1 I like the shade of green they picked for the new one a lot more too. So it looks like the modex numbers are stickers like in the first release? They don't look tampo printed to me, which would make sense given that you're given a choice between heads. Quote
derex3592 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Hoping mine miiiight get here tomorrow...we'll see! Quote

I hope this is true.. I could not tell if they were stickers or not, the pic is kinds smaller and grainy. I did not buy the version 1, as I avoided all Bandai Frontier stuff back then until the renewals. Edited August 29, 2015 by Loop Quote
ArchieNov Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) You might be right. Looking at the pic again, there seems to be an obvious difference between the 302 and the Antares markings. Edited August 29, 2015 by ArchieNov Quote
Shukenzero Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Mine came in. The numbers come on a decal sheet like the last release. Antares is already printed on. A second head comes an optional parts wih a generic pilot in suit. Quote
Sildani Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Any parts for attaching the old fold booster by chance? Quote
derex3592 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 What should the proper number be for Grace's 27? Quote
Shukenzero Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Any parts for attaching the old fold booster by chance? No parts. Just sold my old V1 to another member too! Thankfully I still have the old Galia 7 set. Quote
ArchieNov Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Does this include the clear canopy? I kinda remember the clear canopy being part of the super part tray on Brera's unit, so I was wondering if the CF27 actually comes with it or if that guy just got it from his Brera and placed it on the CF.

Pretty sure it does. Then again, I can't make sense of the translation from the tweet the pics came from. "ザ・カラバリだけど透明キャノピーにすると印象が変わりますな" put through the translator says "Is it will change the impression when the transparent canopy It 's The Bali". Edited August 29, 2015 by MacrossJunkie Quote

Sildani Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Holy crap, my 27 just showed up! From Osaka to Virginia in 2 days! EMS is no joke this week! Huh. Plain brown Tamashii shipper box AND a full color inner box. Nice. Edited August 29, 2015 by Sildani Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Man, how the heck? I assume that NY shipped these around the same time. Mine's still stuck in Osaka since the 27th with "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment". Quote
Sildani Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Hey, it wanted to be with me. It is MY Valkyrie after all. 😉 Edited August 29, 2015 by Sildani Quote
Duymon Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Hey, it wanted to be with me. It is MY Valkyrie after all. Grats! While you're at it can you confirm the clear canopy is included or not? Quote
Sildani Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) There she is... my pretty girl. Also included is a sticker sheet for different modex numbers. Unfortunately, your only choices are 102 and 302. I can confirm the clear green canopy is included. Also, the horned head is attached out of the box, the normal head is in a Baggie. Head lasers are hard plastic, no rubber ones are included. Perfect paint on mine! A little disappointed there's no turbine detail. But loving her anyway! EDIT: My prayers were answered! She comes with two pilots; one generic one in a Baggie, and one installed in the cockpit! Aaaand... it's Grace! Edited August 29, 2015 by Sildani Quote
Loop Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Sucks we only get 2 modex number sets. I will probably leave them off except maybe Grace. Quote
Saburo Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Holy crap, my 27 just showed up! From Osaka to Virginia in 2 days! EMS is no joke this week! Huh.

Mine's still stuck in Osaka since the 27th with "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment". Mine is the same as yours MJ, "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment" since the 27th. There she is... my pretty girl.

MacrossJunkie Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Sucks we only get 2 modex number sets. I will probably leave them off except maybe Grace. Cut up the numbers and you can have a mix of 0,1,2, and 3 in any order you want Are they stickers or waterslide decals? They look like stickers to me. First version also came with stickers. and come with superparts? No super parts or it would have been more expensive. Would have cost at least as much as the Brera release. Quote
Sildani Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Yes, they're stickers. More pics on Monday, probably. NO super parts. Wouldn't surprise me to hear Bandai put a super part/fold booster box set together in the near future. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Renewal "galia" fold booster while they are at it, too. Quote
