Was there a post (or a tease) about another valk to be shown for the next Delta movie? Since Frontier had VF-25 and 27 and then the YF-29 for the latter part of the series, it seems like that it will mostly happen (or not). Edit: Spelling errors Edited February 4, 2020 by borgified Quote
Grey728 Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 I got an email alert on it and snagged it. Thanks for also posting here as well! I debated whether or not I should get it the last two times I saw it pop-up but missed those. I couldn't let this opportunity pass by again. I'm still looking for Delta 01 and 05 to complete my set but I think I'll just try and get one VF-31 a month. Quote
burnout6 Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Lurker here. Surfacing only to let folks know Chuck's 31-E is available on Amazon JP for JPY 18,864, or $178.77 shipping inclusive. https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B07N8DDPP2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AYFC3JV1B9X2Y&psc=1 Quote
jeniusornome Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 @borgified I’m expecting a yf-35, jointly developed by a few planets in the UN Spacy, sold to all of them, but filled with a ton of issues that will cause it to be delayed. In the end they’ll win the day flying VF-4s and a few VF biplanes they borrowed from a flying circus. Also The big Walkure number will be a j-pop cover of “the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B”.

slide Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 VF-14 given recent Macross, probably a VF-14EX... Quote
Bolt Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 For all we know, the pilot could be the new 6th singer coming to Walkure... (If it even has a pilot..) Quote

That doesn't fit logistically unless they have managed to save a few of the Vamp valks (Elgerzone?) from M+ being captured and collecting "Spirituala" for Silvil (I might have butchered the correct spelling here). 1 hour ago, Bolt said: For all we know, the pilot could be the new 6th singer coming to Walkure... (If it even has a pilot..) Are we expecting possible appearances from either Basara (Fire Bomber), Ranka (from Frontier) or Lady "M" herself (as she was slightly mentioned in the series)? It would be interesting to see if Mirage gets to see her Aunt Mylene and learn a few things from her. I think it was speculated, however uncertained at this point untill we see second movie. Quote

Who's to say the VF-14 wasn't on the fleet that made it out to whatever globular cluster delta happened in? In that case the airframe would be a classic hot-rod screaming for a one-off restomod! Macross The Ride is a thing, and they scrounged an SV-51 for that... and the Windermerians kept THE VF-22 that [allegedly] wrecked their planet in a museum, and it started first try! My theory is more than workable, however wrong I turn out to be. lol plus if it IS a VF-14, we might actually see one in a collectible form! Edited February 5, 2020 by slide Quote
jeniusornome Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) Hot rodded up vf-14 would be sweeeeeeet. Maybe they go retro and put a few vf-9s in there too. make the movie all about the air races and throw in some idol group drama and you’ve got yourself a film! Forget all this war stuff. “Mirage learns that the latest and greatest VF-31 isn’t what she needs to be a better pilot - it’s really all about letting go, and singing while she flies the classics from the Jenius air collection! ...also Hayate and Freya make a guest appearance.” then we get new toys of everything and all of our wallets die in one massive grand cannon blast (but still no Alaska base livery). slightly back on topic, I ended up ordering one of the cheap vf-31F off of amazon JP. Wasn’t planning to get more than one 31 (have the 31C, and if I was going to get any others, I figured I’d get chuck’s, since it’s got a radome and an excellent color) but I couldn’t pass it up for the price. Came to $166 shipped. been watching the listings and it looks like sellers are starting to do random discounts, I guess trying to clear old stock. So if you’re after a 31 it would be good to keep an eye on Amazon Japan. Edited February 5, 2020 by jeniusornome Quote
Mommar Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 More likely than not it's just going to share a similar aesthetic/transformation to the 14 is all. Quote
WaferMouse Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 I still see the 31's lines in the New VF more than anything else. I'm expecting the 31's Guld Works counterpart. If it has a different transformation sequence to the 25-31 then I'll be surprised. Quote

borgified Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Mirage on Jungle for 38.5k yen sealed without the 5% additional fees slapped on. Edit: Sub total with 5% additional fee: 40,425 yen without S+H and forgot to post the link! https://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/products/detail/352526 Edited February 10, 2020 by borgified Quote
jeniusornome Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 That is nearly twice what I paid for mine! Geez! I wonder why Bandai doesn't do reissues more often. Seems to me there's enough interest for small runs at least. Quote
seti88 Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Demand aside, re-issues will also eat away at the already sparse release slots per year for macross. Looks like bandai is not confidant of releasing 2 high priced macross items per month. As in General Release, not counting premium bandai... Edited February 11, 2020 by seti88 Quote
Sandman Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 It’s been really a really sparse release schedule this year. I wonder why? On the up side I’ve been catching up on all the valks and other stuff that I had on the back burner to get. Quote
Bolt Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 Maybe a second run on some after the new Delta movie breaks out. Quote

Mommar Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 If you really wanted one 40k might be okay. Quote

Lolicon Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I'm still amazed that Bandai would create an entirely new mold for transforming valkyrie just to do a single run with no variants or reissues to milk it. Quote

The VF-31A only swaps out a few parts but is otherwise the same as the other 31s so that's still milking the mold. Quote
