ArchieNov Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 So tempted to buy another. But I told myself that I'd stop getting multiples since I end up selling the extras at sometimes lower cost afterwards. I guess I want another copy just so I can compare them and only keep the one with the best overall QC. Quote

Since the pre-order didn't pop back up until a couple days before release, I got nervous and just ordered one each time I saw one lol Ended up with a handful so I will have to sell at least 2 #buyer's remorse# Quote
anubis20 Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Currently working on the 31J model kit and I noticed the ankles are gold on the kit but on the DX they're not. Which one is more screen accurate? Quote

Glad NY is being tasked on their markups. Not so awesome for the VF-31C. Hope Bandai doesn't reduce numbers for the remaining 31s. There may be 31 fatigue going on. This is the third one this year (i know the 31J was Dec but close enough). They should maybe break up the releases for the DXs. Maybe release a different design (vf-22?) or re-release a previous mold that is hard to get now (vf-19, vf-25G or yf-30). Quote

bluemax151 Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 I just picked up my VF-31C. Is there anything I need to look out for with it? It's both my first 31 and first DX. The 236 page count of this thread is a bit daunting to sort through Quote

Make sure that it's away from direct sunlight. Also, Valkyries are meant for swooshing around. 37 minutes ago, Sandman said: Ha Ha, Awesome. Glad NY is being tasked on their markups.

I don't think there's 31 fatigue going on because by now everyone wants to complete the whole squad because once the new series or movie gets aired by next year or so, Bandai will focus on that and might forget the last two remaining or three including the lovable VF-31A. So I rather get them now while it's still hot. You don't want people's interest to wane down. Quote
JetJockey Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 I'm cheating and quick looking at some of the episodes that I haven't seen. But these pictures are doing a good job of pushing me to get Mirage's jet. I realized though that I really don't like the look or perhaps feel of Macross Delta. I think that's part of the reason I stopped watching. I guess I'm just too old school original Macross. Mirage and the jet design / scenes were the only thing that interested me early on. I don't think Lord Hemorrhoid helped at all. 3 hours ago, derex3592 said: Just watch Jenius' reviews and transformation guide and you'll be good to go! http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=8954 I always forget that Anymoon posts here. I'm waiting on his Mirage review and watched some of his previous VF-31 videos to help me decide. Quote
Valkyrie Driver Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 I've already decided that once I have money, I want to get a VF-31C. Will I be able to? Quote

Saburo Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Got Hayate transformed into Battroid mode sans Super Parts for a group photo. Come on Bandai bring on Arad and Chuck so Delta Flight can be complete! Quote
brouken Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Wow, now that's the money shot right there Saburo! That pic would get any Macross fan to throw money at Bandai. Hope Chuck's and Arad's will come out soon too! Quote

Lolicon Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Hope everyone bought an extra set of super parts so you can use the missiles! To be sold in web shop after the event. Sweet. Won't have to call in any favors to get it. Quote

davidwhangchoi Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) same super parts or do we have to buy a different set specific for the new 31J? Edited September 21, 2017 by davidwhangchoi Quote
chyll2 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) Looks like it has to use the super parts. The price makes me NOT think that it is a bundle. Google translate says it is mostly the same with additional reactive missiles and the special attachment. Looks like it is an event item that will be offered as tamashii web item.

seti88 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Heheh they finally bundled em in...so how does mirage get hers bandai?? some piccies from the site i tot was yums! Quote

Chronocidal Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) Actually... it looks like they went the super el-cheapo route and just made a giant mount that clamps around the arm shields, and contains the rotation point that the shield is supposed to have. Looks like the clamp uses a standard hardpoint for the actual pylon, so the missiles can go on either the shield, or the bare wing points, albeit with a huge clunky looking dual mount, instead of the individual pylons they used in the show. Welp, guess I'll need to get this one and sell off one of my other J-models. I suppose we can expect those missiles to be included in Mirage's super packs too then? If not, I need to figure out the physics of sending a physical boxing glove through a computer screen via email. If they do that though, I might skip this release and just get a couple extra sets of Mirage's packs for the missiles. Seriously.. when are they going to learn to plan ahead for this sort of stuff? Makes me think they had the designs finalized before the last few episodes of Delta even aired, and then didn't bother to go back and fix them. Edited September 21, 2017 by Chronocidal Quote
Mommar Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) Wait, so this thing doesn't come with the Super Parts? Also, announcing this before Arad or Chuck huh? Edited September 21, 2017 by Mommar Quote

Yeah probably the only recourse for mirage to get her missiles r via her super packs. There isnt any other way right? So i guess bandai will re-release hayate's supers too else those getting the last episode version wouldnt be able to display it with supers.. Quote
chyll2 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 This is actually priced in Japan with tax at 21000 yen. SRP wise it is cheaper than regular release. The pricing alone makes expectations that it is NOT a bundle. Quote

You seem to be under the impression that Bandai's release planning has ever made a lick of sense. You should talk to all the people who bought re-releases of Ozma's VF-25S in the hopes that they had a snowball's chance of getting the armor packs. Edited September 21, 2017 by Chronocidal Quote
platypus Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Er, so is this just an announcement or put up on sale now? Quote
