Mommar Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Holy eff, I didn’t even realize at CDJapan if you pay with paypal you pay up front. So my $880 is already done. I can probably squeeze in a fourth one. Quote
Mommar Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Hmm, at the bottom of the Tamashii website for the VF-31S is this image. I wonder if we know what the next two releases will be? Quote

HardlyNever Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 I'm guessing those parts of the armor are going to need extra support in battroid mode, long term. Probably those little tamashii stands with claws, or maybe a custom support piece that secures it to another part of the valk (maybe the weapon pod?). I still won't mind, it is going to look great on display. Might be a bit of a pain to handle, though. Quote

Chuck's VF-31 + armored parts and Mirage's pink SV-262 with lil draken (even thought it's a VF-31) confirmed. lol I dunno if the armored version would be able to stand by itself with all that stuff on top and in the back?

jenius Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Negative on mirage, that's a tease for Lil drakens for the VF 31 of all things. Quote
TrickyCustomer Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Not a fan of the armor so it will be an easy pass Quote

no3Ljm Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 You know what. Bandai should just bundle an attachment pylon for Lil Drakens with the VF-31's Armored Pack set. So that I could just attached from time to time the Lil Drakens to the 31's since I don't want it on the Draken. Hehehe. Quote

no3Ljm Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 I wonder how 31's Armored Pack look if it's painted in traditional neutral color like the VF-1's GBP and Messiah's Armored Pack? Quote

My guess is standalone, maybe with missiles for mirage's 262 if they're going to make that. Then you can use the drakens and their mounts for any 31 you own and maybe incentive you to buy mirage's 262... Cuz ya know, you already have the armor. Edited March 13, 2018 by jenius Quote
kajnrig Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Speaking of Mirage's -262, does she have a Ba or Hs model? Quote

More poor humor i'm afraid True, my HMR vf-2ss is looks well with the sap parts. I'm surprised they chose green tbh. Quote

So that the watching crowd for MacII can tell it's been done by the same team even though it's not. Quote

Ah yes, the yamato vf-1's had the green super parts. Trying to keep continuity but at the same time not due to the setting and time line. Quote
TrickyCustomer Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Nin Nin game still has pre orders for the vf-31s $207.27 + postage Quote

Lolicon Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Only one more day till the 31A! Then another week or so for shipping. Quote

And from what I remember everyone posted here about NY, they do take their sweet time sometimes before shipping it even if you choose EMS. Some mentioned the preparation even took a week before it got shipped. So at this point in time, I'm not even gonna bother to complain. I'll just wait until it reaches my doorsteps. Quote

TrickyCustomer Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 My order off ebay says the 26th, the ones from loopaza say the 30th. It will be sometime in April before I can add the 31a to my "A team" Quote

I mean, they're the only option for me to get exclusive items so I don't have a choice. I already lost a package from them May of last year, and up until now there's no word if I will get reimbursed with their Registered SAL insurance. I mean, I already lost $30 difference if I will get reimbrused. And here I am, still waiting. Imagine that if you purchased an exclusive release DX Valk and will just get Y6000 insurance of it from using Registered SAL. And probably will also wait for a year or so to get reimburse. It's frustrating, right? Anyways, I'm just tired of waiting from them but it is what it is. And after reading people's comments that sometimes they ship the package a week after, which I find it very fristrating, I'm just done with it. Now I only just wait. Yes, they do have cheap prices during initial release compared to others but their overall service really suck. Quote

And you know what sucks the most is that when you try to report it to your credit card, and after you get reimbursed, they will just block your account. How pathetic is that, right? For sure they just don't care even if how many times you bought from them. Anyways, don't want everyone to get dragged about this. So I'm just going to share this. Found at Twitter. It's a Hasegawa kit but I do like the grey color used. Quote
