brouken Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Yeah, the VF-31E does not seem to be on the main Tamashii Website yet. It does say that these are general releases, so definitely PO Madness. Quote
no3Ljm Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Reposting @Saburo's post. 51 minutes ago, Saburo said: It’s Delta flight is almost complete, Bandai posted some official images of the VF-31E. https://sp.tamashii.jp/special/pickup/201906umgv/index.php Quote
brouken Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Yup, went to the link Saburo posted earlier. Its just a special announcement page with no other details other than they're general releases, and that order reservations will be announced at the main Tamashii website and via email. I'm surprised the announcement for Chuck's ride came first before Arad's super/armor pack. Edited January 22, 2019 by brouken Quote
Saviant Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Finally news on Chuck, just what I am after Quote

Yes, that's what I meant earlier when I mentioned the moment Tamashii put a new item in their site (whether it's via their special page or just announcement), the PO schedule will follow the next week or two. This is just based on my observation from their previous announcements. I'm pretty sure everyone will get excited for this great news. And to be honest, I rather see them release Chuck's ride first than the Armored Packs. Quote
seti88 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Chucky!! Wow that’s a very early announcement...abt half a year in advance....things must be heating up for macross...? Quote
seti88 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Does that orange look like a different shade especially on the area near and above the intakes? Quote

eXis10z Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Strangely I don't feel the urge to get this to complete the roster. Quote

Yup it seems to be heading more towards an orange tonality. Probably some cost savings there, since arad's teased armor parts also are orange. Orange batch discount! anyway, after looking at it more, gonna chalk up the different hue near the intakes and shoulders down to the radome blocking the light... Now, what i want to see is the underside of fighter mode and how *ahem* it looks... Edited January 22, 2019 by seti88 Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Great news! A little underwhelming after such a long wait or maybe because we’re finally getting close to the end In for two despite the weird color hehehe Edited January 22, 2019 by spacemanoeuvres Quote
Sildani Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I’ll get him. I never get more than one of a particular kind of VF, but Chuck’s really appeals. Mostly because I want to see how the radome folds up. Quote
Kinzoku VF Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Really looking forward to the 31-E. Anything part of the Elintseeker family tree has a special place in my collection....Love that colour scheme too, similar, (yet on picture it looks darker) than the YF-25 Prophecy (have a soft spot for this one...). Quote
Alex GS Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 hell yeah PO will start soon, most probably the beginning of February. Quote
Mommar Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I wonder if this one will be easier to pick up than others have been? It's not the most popular color and Chuck is barely a character in the show. Quote

It's not the most popular color and Chuck is barely a character in the show. Most of the characters were barely characters, but that hasn't seemed to have much impact on which ones sell well. Bandai does need to adjust the color settings on their eyes though. The only colors they seem to be able to hit correctly are blues, blacks, and whites. Quote
WaferMouse Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I'm super excited that this is finally happening, but I'm also totally here for the derpy Chuck poses Very on-brand for Chuck. Quote
Valkyrie2008 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I too have a soft spot for Elintseekers, although I do not agreed in the choice of colors here, but I'm in for one. Preordered madness again is it? Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 finally get too finish the fleet and then i'm done with delta squad Quote

Rogueload Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Yep I’ll be getting chuck too. Then hang some custom made orange supers on it. Quote
Moosey Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I'll chuck my hat into the ring for one of these. (inb4 downvote ;p) Quote
F360 Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) looks like the TWE flappy lil drakens option sets for the vf-31 is out. Edited January 23, 2019 by F360 Quote
RealJayDee Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 If chuck comes with a mini cat fish thingy Im in!!!!!! Quote

brouken Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Could somebody please confirm if the VF-31F lil'draken set also comes with the wing brackets? Don't want to buy the movie version 31F just to use them. 1 hour ago, spacemanoeuvres said: Quote
Shukenzero Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 I’ll be picking up my copies later today. I’ll see if they are able to clip onto the Kairos wings when I get the chance. Quote

Shukenzero Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 The connector parts are designed to wrap around the forward swept wings so there’s no way to attach it to the Kairos Quote

Just ordered a set. Not really a fan of this setup, but hey, lil'drakens are cool right? Since there's a dearth of enemy mecha, I can as least have a couple extra lil'drakens for my Delta Platoon to dogfight with. Having the ability to attach them to the Siegfrieds is just an added bonus. Edited January 23, 2019 by brouken Quote
technoblue Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 It seems we have another season of radomes upon us, and it promises to be good. I'm in for Chuck and Bandai's Orange Creamsicle colour scheme. Quote
