Bandai DX VF-31

[funkymonkeyjavajunky]

Any guesses as to when the next set of preorders will take place?

[Raptor One]

Can we put some spoiler tags on the Delta stuff, not everyone has watched the damn show yet

Apologies

[chyll2]

I think putting spoiler tag can be optional, and I think it is completely okay to not use it NOW. I dont know what is the de-facto time period acceptable for not posting spoilers but I think it has long been due for Macross Delta.The show is already completed and some people are even skipping it.

Delta

kinda sucked.

Still haven't decided which 31, maybe Arad.

Would you say the color schemes are modern, or racing, or what?

For Arad, I'd say his scheme undoubtedly, "festive".

[Duymon]

Buy all of them! :0

Festive. I like that. I think you solved it for me.

As a fleet, they are definitely so.

They would display great together. If only I had the space.

[Slave IV]

I originally only wanted Messer's but now I have Hayate's preordered but want to get the Last Episode version instead and a Mirage.

[David Hingtgen]

I'm ok with Messer being next--the more -31's as a whole they sell, the lower the demand for each successive one---thus easier for me to get Mirage's.

[Moosey]

I'd really hoped Mirage woulda been up next. Still I liked Messer's Valk.

In my head I'd hoped I'd get away with 3 valks from this series

Mirage, a Kairos and a 262 (not Keith's) - gonna be a while at this rate!

[Andy NYK]

I'm getting Arad's, just due to his being a S-type and nice dragon skull emblem.

[Lolicon]

There's been plenty of time since the "damn show" finished airing for anyone to watch it instead of coming to a Macross forum then bitching at people about spoilers. Do we start having to put spoiler tags for Frontier too?

There's a statue of limitations on this crap, is what I'm saying.

[Sandman]

Yeah i agree. If you haven't watched the show yet and don't want to be spoiled, you've come to the wrong place.

[abbadon]

Bring on the Mirage custom!

[technoblue]

Despite the Penny Arcade satire and hyperbole, I think it is fair to continue to use spoiler tags for a show that had its final broadcast episode only a few months back in September. It would be one thing if this was about Frontier which was broadcast eight years ago and whose blu-ray/dvd discs similarly have been available for years. Only half of Delta's blu-ray/dvd discs are out in the wild, and I know there are more people like myself who vocalized that they were going to take Delta at a slower pace.

Anyway, it doesn't take a lot of energy to respond to that choice with respect and kindness instead of snark, or telling other Delta slowpokes to stay away from the forum.

[Graham]

Anyway, this is a thread to discuss the VF-31 DX toys. If you want to discuss the anime, take it to the relevant thread!!!!!

Yeah, I hope she's the last one

[David Hingtgen]

Plus---Bandai does tend to tweak each release. Look at the YF-29. The second one may be too early to get any improvements, but the third release should.

[sh9000]

Paid for 2 at NY.

did they send a payment request or did you pay for it early voluntarily?

Same although not that hyped to watch it with all the negative comments i keep hearing

[Mommar]

I want the 31 toys. All of them.

[Mr Bomber]

[ManhattanProject972]

How much is EMS shipping to NY or anywhere in the states usually?

[abbadon]

[wmkjr]

Props for the one handed transforming while holding the camera with the other hand demo. I hope those clear adapters are included with this series.

Edit: Might as well make the whole display stand clear.

Hmm, did they do away with that peg that connects the shoulder parts together when going from Fighter to Gerwalk/Battroid like they have on the 30?

Ahhh, see that? THey built in the clips that hold the upper half of the body to the lower half in Battroid this time. Time for an upgraded YF-30 that fixes that loose garbage.

I'm thinking the shoulder parts rely on a dented jointed to snap them into place now.

[ArchieNov]

It looks even better in video than it did in pictures... well to me anyway. Excited to get one in hand for myself.

[Loop]

Yeah, it looks pretty good so far. I can't wait to get one in hand, I may even get 2 of all of them now

I told my self I wouldn't but that may change.

[David Hingtgen]

The fold crystals seem to pop up on a hinge---head clearance?
