Bandai DX VF-31

[Guyffon]

I never thought about the wings and the connection, now it all makes sense

[brouken]

Still no new pre-order announcements for any new Macross Delta products? Come on Bandai! Where's your Christmas spirit? At least give us an announcement for when the armor pack is going to be released! 

[seti88]

Seeing that bandai release schedule is full till April for the vf-4, am thinking  the earliest for any announcements would be abt February/march next year.

...just found out, taking into consideration the 1/48 vf-1 weapons pack which the release dates are in may, I thk any more new announcements may be in April...

Bandai’s ‘Christmas Spirit’ is to give us a ‘Christmas Breather’ in preparation for their 2019 Consumers Spending Schemes. 

Didn’t you get the ‘Consumer’s Memo’?

Its listed on their twitter sir....also they did a interview with a online publication and the writer mentioned that the amount of toys, popular soc, mb, etc they had sitting in their studio that they did the engineering for that they got no credit for was mind blowing. but with that nda, gotta keep it on the hush.

my 3 from NY are finally on their way, shipped 11/07/18, ordered and paid 10/27/17

Which shipping method?

[seti88]

'Gratz on the 3 31A haul...

[Dirtyboy]

Awesome haul on 3 x 31A,

Are we ever gonna see this Arad armour? How do you even get that pose?

 

[brouken]

Those are the super packs from the TV series. The super packs usually came out several months after their valk was released. With the announcement of Arad's Armor Pack during Tamashii Nations 2018 however, we don't know if Bandai is going to release Arad's super pack or armor pack first. Its a waiting game now until the next official announcement.

As for whether you can do that pose with the toy, I'll leave that to the other members because I haven't had the time to fiddle with mine.

SAL Small Packet x 3.  i actually got the postal notice a couple of weeks back, but was too busy to pick it up at the post office.

 

as previously mentioned, now that i have 4 in hand, i will dispose of one.

if anyone has the Arcadia Altira Island resin model or the VF-171 with Sheryl on the back, maybe we can work out a trade or something.

Cool! I like it when the designers are noted on the box or somewhere in the packaging and wish it was done more often.

Congrats on finally getting your 3 x 31A order from NY.  Hopefully everyone else who is still waiting will get theirs soon, or have received them already.

For those who still want a Messer (non movie version). Amiami has one used copy (Item A/Box B). Price: 20k yen

Just wanted to pose this question here since this could mean the completion of the Delta Squadron. Now surfacing ia a supposed Valkyrie Factory picture of their upcoming VF-31 on FB. My question is, “Would you consider buying this to complete your missing 31 if they were to release Chuck’s Siegfried?”

With Valkyrie Factory taking on the VF-31 they surely are playing on dangerous grounds.

 

[Sanity is Optional]

Bandai has already announced Chuck’s valk, so I’m just going to buy that.

[spacemanoeuvres]

I’d be interested in a VF-31A KO. The others can be had easily enough.

[Xigfrid]

Oh yeah a 31A with a more neutral grey color

There you go. The thread gained a few pages over the course of about 48 hours at the time so I suspect you missed this in the flurry of comments on the AP.

The Lil Draken Set for the VF-31F was stated by NY to now be released on 1/23.

Least exciting accessory... Ever.

[Rogueload]

Come on Bandai we need a release date for Chuck!! Let us complete our delta squad!

[Sildani]

While you’re at it, announce Arad's 31A please. 

[seti88]

I hope they announce a vf-31A "02" unit as well, so we can a full squad. 

[Rogueload]

Couldn’t stand my 31S naked anymore so bought some 31C supers and painted them to match the teal of Arad’s supers.

Looks good but I can't understand why you can't stand it.  I think it looks great on it's own sans armor.  Of course I have mine loaded up with eight reaction missiles.

Valkyrie Factory actually takes deposit for the VF-31S (below) I just hope they make a VF-31A
