recon Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Yeah finally managed to secure my first VF-31F after months of repeated failure. Tks figinstock for the alert Edited February 21, 2017 by recon Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 I got the figinstock alert at 4am lol they were gone by the time I saw it an hour later. Quote
Axelay Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 I just happened to randomly wake up before 5:00am and check this thread... and I missed it again. Ugh. I still appreciate people giving notification. Quote
Archer Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Random question, but what exactly is the purpose of the green pod next to the pod that stores the rifle of the vf-31. I don't ever recall seeing it be used in the anime (I don't even recall them detaching the rifle to be honest). Quote
Graham Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 It's a wireless charger for the multi-drones. It was never shown in use in the TV series, but was shown in the preview version of episode one, which aired several months before the TV series. That episode is available on the Blu-ray and DVD. In the preview episodes, the multi-drones protect Walkure from a micro-missile strike using their pin-point barriers and then fall to the ground as their power is drained. One of Delta Platoon is then shown using the wireless charger to almost instantly recharge the drones. Unfortunately, they cut that scene in the final release version of episode 1. And yes, there are several scenes in the TV series where some of the characters detached the beam gunpod and used it handheld. Hayate, Messer and maybe Mirage all did IIRC. Quote

Also, just received my shipping notice from NY for my VF-31, very excited Quote
erikos0311 Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 so anyone know where the super parts for the Vf-31 are available for purchase other than NY? I checked the Bandai website but the pre-order windows ended a couple of days ago and i missed it. Boo! Quote

I know Anime-Export and Big In Japan had them but the pre-orders are closed. Quote

WaferMouse Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 So I guess the next release is those sweet neutral 31F super packs. But the only 31s I want are the C and the E!  Anyone else going to be buying packs for birds they don't own yet? Quote

chyll2 Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) I'll probably get Chuck supers on the 31f. Gray with orange accent is a hit on me. Edited February 23, 2017 by chyll2 Quote

Man, you just know someone out there has 5 Fs on PO and is just waiting for the other 4 packs to go up! Looking forward to seeing your accented birds if you post them. Quote
seti88 Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) You mean on the 31f unless it fits the 25 too? i agree Orange on the f would look cool too...but that would be a darker grey...you mentioned grey and made me thk.... chucks supers on the 31a!! Would it work you thk?? Only the wing tips are different right? Can the walkure valk supers fit onto the A as well? Edited February 23, 2017 by seti88 Quote
chyll2 Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) My bad, I mean the 31f lol  The 31a with bright colors will work too. Too bad we won't get that red and black stripes for this batch of 31's Edited February 23, 2017 by chyll2 Quote

Most members here pose their 3 in each mode. 1 extra to keep it MISB. And 1 for just in case.  4 hours ago, chyll2 said: My bad, I mean the 31f lol The 31a with bright colors will work too.

Archer Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Ended up deciding not to sell off my VF-31, and cracked open the box. Good lord, what an impressive figure. This is by far and away the best valk I've ever owned. Joints that need to be tight or ratcheted are, and the whole thing doesn't feel super fragile at all (which some of my older Yamato stuff did).  I was so impressed I impulse bought the super parts Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Cool. Love the black, white and red color scheme on the last page. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Would buy almost any of those 31A's. Â And why oh why did we never see any of those missile pod options? Â I like the one with the larger hatches, less of a -30 clone. As for the technical aspects---hmmn. Â "VFC". Â Compared to the known Active Flow Control of the -19-----I'm thinking either vernier flow control or vortex flow control. Â The diagrams seem equally appropriate for both. Â I almost want to say "vernier, used to control the vortex". With the explanation of the 31A having larger canards than the FSW versions to balance out the center of lift (thus making them lifting canards and not so much vortex-generators) I get the impression Kawamori is kind of on a canard "kick" at the moment, and their aerodynamic effects. Â Quote
Boobytrap Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Oh man, I love the color schemes listed on those last 2 pages. So much better than the ones they chose to use for the show. I know the chances of them ever getting made are pretty much 0 but i'm going to hold out hope for a low vis Arad since it is at least a variation on a hero valk. Quote
Moosey Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 So much awesomeness. Makes me think the VF-31A will be my first multi buy Valk. Those customs are beautiful looking. Quote
Archer Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Anyone have slight issues with the shoulder double hinge being a wee bit tight? Quote
