sh9000 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Can you color the armor in different greys like the VF-25 armor just to see how it looks? Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Can you color the armor in different greys like the VF-25 armor just to see how it looks? Hey sh9000. The recolor file is at work. I'll do it on Monday if that's ok? Question, are you referring on the whole armor to be grey or just recolor the colored parts to grey? Quote
Zx31 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Back in 2011, the DX VF-25 Renewal just costs Y15120. But it's already 2019. DX VF-31 is already at Y23760. Almost double the price. I guess if you consider 64% being bigger than 50% as double, sure. Quote
sh9000 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Hey sh9000. The recolor file is at work. I'll do it on Monday if that's ok? Question, are you referring on the whole armor to be grey or just recolor the colored parts to grey? Yeah cool. The whole armor to be light and dark grey with the colored parts left alone. I just wanted to see how it would look like instead of white armor. Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Yeah cool. The whole armor to be light and dark grey with the colored parts left alone. I just wanted to see how it would look like instead of white armor. Ok. Will do it on Monday morning. Quote
brouken Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) As always, I did some coloring studies since I can't wait for @Saburo's. RED TEAL Thanks for this Noel! Its nice to see what the armor pack would look like if it were colored after Arad's scheme. Looking at the screen caps of Arad's super pack below, it seems that the major color is teal, with some red highlights on the chest, shields and leg armors. As an additional request Noel, could you try another variant of your recolor, with teal as the color of all the missile covers and gatling guns, and red for the stripes on the twin cannons, booster packs, and the big stripe on the missile pack attached on the booster pack?

Rogueload Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 The armor looks awesome but I’ll take the look and color of my Arad’s supers all day!! Quote
CrossAir Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 I love the look of Mirages' 31C with its supers on. As I skip on the armor (let's see how long I really can resist ) I found her at least a double fed gatling gun : Quote
brouken Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 That's a great custom paint job @Rogueload! And I agree that Arad's supers have a better color scheme than the armor pack. Makes me hope that Bandai will eventually choose to release Arad's super pack as well. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Paid for two armors via proxy. $320 with fees and domestic shipping. I’m curious what the international shipping cost will be compared to retailers offering TWE. It looks like kurama shop actually offers the lowest price shipped. I may place an order with them as a backup. Quote
iguanaman8989 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Ordered mine from N-Y last night once I saw the preorder was open. Helps that yesterday was payday. Quote
wm cheng Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Why did it go up early?! Thank Goodness you guys are on it and I happened to check in with this forum. I thought it was supposed to be 8pm EST tonight for Mar 10 JPT. Quote

I may place an order with them as a backup. That's pretty good factoring proxy and domestic shipping included. Paid around $380 for 2 via NY and Japan Eco Air (7300yen). Could save maybe another $30 shipped by boat (4000yen). Quote

spacemanoeuvres Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Woah, that’s a good price for two. What proxy did you go through? I ordered via “From Japan”. I’m a fan of their service though the fees can add up for certain transactions if you’re not mindful. I find them reasonable most of the time and they don’t markup shipping in my experience. YMMV.

jenius Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Don't you have to achieve the highest rank at From Japan to get express shipping without a mark up? Quote
F360 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Don't you have to achieve the highest rank at From Japan to get express shipping without a mark up? https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/en/help/other ok so which of you guys have the rank of Shogun? 10% off shipping Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/en/help/other ok so which of you guys have the rank of Shogun? 10% off shipping raises hand Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Don't you have to achieve the highest rank at From Japan to get express shipping without a mark up? When I first started using FJ I compared the shipping costs to the tables on the Japan Post website and they were the same. I haven’t checked the costs recently so that may have changed (no idea). I get 5% off EMS (Tonosama Rank) but I almost always ship SAL registered. Quote

Same, 5% off and I usually ship SAL, only EMS for packages too large for SAL. Quote
F360 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) raises hand so that's why you are cutting down on new Preorders. I'm Tonosama rank only. (fedex or EMS , whichever is cheaper) Edited March 9, 2019 by F360 Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Just got confirmation from FromJapan they got my order for 3x armors in. Quote
Alphahorizon Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Just got confirmation from FromJapan they got my order for 3x armors in. 1 for each mode Sanity? Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 1 for each mode Sanity? 1 for my 31S, 1 for repainting and possibly parting out, and 1 for a friend. Quote
Shukenzero Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 For long term posing, battroid is not be the best mode to leave it in. This time round, there are so many more parts than the 25 and it doesn’t include extra stand parts to prop up the parts. Quote

It does include extra stand parts, they're clear and come off the back of the main arm. Quote
wmkjr Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I think it comes with 2 extra stands or arms. Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I’ll leave mine in fighter mode all it’s life lol. For me, best looking mode. Quote
Shukenzero Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 It does include extra stand parts, they're clear and come off the back of the main arm. Oh thanks for that I didn’t know. I guess that’ll make it easier for battroid mode. Quote
gabuyan Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I'm looking forward to having it stand in a row with the armored VFs, all missile-balls out. Quote
t040484 Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I'm looking forward to having it stand in a row with the armored VFs, all missile-balls out. Yeah, thats exactly what i have in mind. Quote
Duymon Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I Just nabbed it on Anime Export. I literally only have 1 VF-31 from Delta, and the Silpheed valk was too good to pass up Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 And we’ll all be GERiatricWALKers. Quote
007-vf1 Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I am not holding my breath but it would be awesome if hasegawa came up with this armor as they did with Frontier.. Quote
shdwfx2000 Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 so have we established that all the places you can preorder from at this moment won't let you pay when it's ready to be shipped? Quote
