Let's just hope Bandai will not release the rest of the color coordinated Armored Packs based on the Walkure Blu-Ray cover which were not featured in the movie. Color coordinated? It's like power rangers lol. I'm just gonna get Hayate, or Messer in that case. Quote

There were no close-up of it like Arad's and Chuck's. No Battroid mode featured either. Everybody misses the third A taking up behind Chuck on the left there. Quote
MikeRoz Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 I want that Messer coloring so bad. I'm tempted to buy an Arad to go with these, but it's not like they'all that coordinated with his blue and red color scheme either... 17 hours ago, t040484 said: Color coordinated?

wm cheng Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 August release... so when would the pre-order be? Hope its not between Mar 10-17 when I'm away on vacation! Quote

Hope its not between Mar 10-17 when I'm away on vacation! If Arad's "Stampede" Armour is to be released in August, will it most likely be at the end of August/first week of September when the actual shipping day from the suppliers or earlier. Don't quite me on that as I can be wrong. The pre-orders are usually 5 months prior to release date, so in theory, sometime in in the beginning of March when the pre-order craziness happens. From what I can remember, the HMR VF-4, VF-1d and Chuck's 31e pre-orders started five months before the actual release date. The only pre-order that was gone fairly quickly was Chuck's 31e while you can still pre-order the HMR VF-4 and the VF-1d on certain websites after a few days later. Can anyone else chime in and to verify if my thinking is either correct or not? * Corrected date is March not May Edited February 24, 2019 by borgified Quote
sh9000 Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) For DX TWE: VF-31J Super Parts were preordered on 12/15/16 and were available on 5/19/17. SV-262 Lill Draken Set was preordered 3/16/17 and was available on 8/28/17. VF-31F Super Parts were preordered on 4/20/17 and were available on 10/26/17. VF-31C Super Parts were preordered on 12/1/17 and were available on 5/25/18. VF-31F Lill Draken Set was preordered on 6/8/18 and was available on 1/23/19. I think the Armored Parts will be up for preorder around the first or second week of March or follow something similar to the SV-262 Lill Draken Set. Edited February 25, 2019 by sh9000 Quote
dur Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Is it just me, or does the armor completely replace the forward canards? You can pull them out with enough force. That would mean that Kairos armor has even less issues in the way for getting made I initially thought the armor looked kind of dumb, but fighter mode got me good: I just bought a 31S for this armor to go on. Quote
Vortech Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 It doesn't look like the armor replaces the forward canards on the cockpit area. I think its just that the picture is really scrambled up because of resolution. Also the second hand 31S's are starting to move due to the announcement of the Armor parts coming. Only one left on Manda when they had 6 a week ago. Quote

Hey @Saburo. As much as I would like to get color coordinated Armored Packs for each Siegfried’s, I can’t bring myself on getting each esp for the price tag that goes with it. I’ll probably just get Arad’s this time even though I don’t like the orange color that comes with it. Quote

I'm just going to paint the parts as needed to match the 31C, I have the paints as seen here: Colour is called Screamer Pink of all things. Just have to hope I have the funds ready. Quote
Sildani Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Ah, a Citadel paint, that’s perfect. Thanks! Quote

There's still one unopened at Mandarake for only ¥58,000 btw. Also opened ones for ¥55,000 and ¥65,000 though. Quote
chyll2 Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 I guess we all come here to say the same thing about NY. Them listing the 31A, does it mean that they were able to fulfill all orders? Is anyone here still has pending 31A orders from them? Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Dang, should have bought the one I saw on eBay yesterday for 150 plus shipping: https://www.ebay.com/itm/SALE-Valkyrie-VF-31A-figure-JAPAN/264213147975?hash=item3d8454b147:g:~YMAAOSwCMRcc3Gn#vi__app-cvip-panel Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Did somebody here buy the one from NY? It’s no longer available. Quote

chyll2 Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 They must be doing money laundering . There are brand new items at Mandarake for less than that. Quote
Blue Meanie Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) insult to injury. I will never order from them again. They had the Getter Devolution upgrade parts I needed. I would rather never own them. Too much scalper in this store. Edited February 27, 2019 by Blue Meanie Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 They really are selling in that range I don’t thing I’ll ever bring myself to sell one haha Quote
dur Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Blah- when the DX VF-1J released, almost all 1/60 valks took a nose dive in value as the market flooded with people trying to get funds for it. Now that things have settled and supply has been dropping, prices across the board are sky-rocketing... I do have to confess to nabbing another pair of 31A's though during the panic Quote
brouken Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Now imagine the chaos when Bandai decides to release Arad's VF-31A. Quote
