Zx31 Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 I need to rewatch the space battle where Alpha and Beta Wings are shown, but I think the charger pod is show accurate for the Xaos 31A. Quote
chyll2 Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 For the missile pod version, it will be released as regular release and be announced on April 2018. Lol Quote

brouken Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Wow, I can't believe they're releasing the VF-31A ahead of Chuck's and Arad's! On one hand, that's good news for me because that means more breathing space for my wallet. I'm kind of in the minority in that I'm not after the 31A. The drab military grey color scheme doesn't do anything for me. I'd rather have the complete Delta Squadron, airshow colors and all. Funny because the 31A is the only real delta winged valk in the series. Edited October 5, 2017 by brouken Quote

Things are uncertain for me right now. I have to skip it. It looks beautiful to me, though. Hopefully, I'll be able to snag it eventually. The way my luck runs, I kind of knew that either this or a Chogokin Andromeda would pop up for pre-order during this time. Quote

From the looks of it the main wing body and the rest of the attach points are the same mould as the rest of the 31s, so I'd guess that any will fit. If they don't release a set of true neutral packs, Messer's would probably be the best fit. If anyone else sees a problem here, please correct me! Edited October 5, 2017 by WaferMouse Quote

Zx31 Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 I think the Super Packs will fit the 31A the same, but I don't think any of the ones from Delta will match well with the 31A camo. Quote

Yeah, hopefully they'll release some neutral ones, even Messer's would look a bit off. If they do, I've already screwed up there by ordering Messer's packs for my C and E, but I can live with that so long as I don't have to hunt down a third set for the A. Quote
Shukenzero Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 SUPER EXCITED!!! Can't believe they mentioned it then BOOM insta preorder. Quote
derex3592 Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 HOLY FRACK!!!! This ISN'T good news for the wedding planning fund! F****CK! I have to have this! SO did NOT expect this to be next! Quote
Saburo Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Awesome! “Wallet brace for impact!” the pics show a clear amber canopy, I wonder if that what it will be for release? Also it has the recharger back pod, shouldn’t it be a missile pod? Quote

Sildani Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Huzzah! Love this scheme! Question: are the grey pieces with the recesses anime-accurate? I thought the Kairos just had black gemstones there. Quote
recon Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Damn and i wanted to complete the delta series by having J, F, C, S and E variants. Oh well, a VF-31A is too nice to pass up I shudder to think abt the ways in which bandai will milk this mold Edited October 5, 2017 by recon Quote

I think the shape of the wings may interfere with the boosters, but won't know for certain until Bandai confirms or denies. Quote
Zx31 Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) The wing boosters sit completely inside the hinge point of the wing and on top of the folded down vertical fins, so the shape of the folding tip shouldn't matter. One of Jenius' photos of the manual for reference Edited October 5, 2017 by Zx31 Quote
Shukenzero Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Does it say anywhere that the numbers will be stickers like the VF-27s? Cos it'd be weird to have a whole squadron of 03 numbered Kairos, even though stickers are not exactly ideal. Quote

The final version will probably have the same frosted canopy because Bandai won't let a bad idea die. Quote
derex3592 Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 They REALLLY need to keep the clear orange tinted canopy on this one....looks soooo much better! Quote

Hope the do it like the later 27 release Quote

Chronocidal Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 I don't know who's deciding release priority for Delta, but I wonder if they're doing these now so they can have another wave of releases ready for the movie? Who knows what's in their twisted minds.. I'll be in for at least two of these.. possibly three, so I have one to customize, but I love the colors. But yeah, I don't expect the better canopy to last. One of these days I'll just need to pop all the canopies off my 31s, strip them entirely, and repaint the frames. If they release any of those Master File schemes, I'll be absolutely astounded.. and broke. Quote

Not happy with the release scheduling, the pay upfront, Bandai ignoring Arad's and Chuck's 31's. But... YES! YES!

From the series, they've shown the Kairos wearing a neutral Super Packs.

Also it has the recharger back pod, shouldn’t it be a missile pod? It's early to say about the canopy. Remember the YF-29 30th Anniversary version canopy? As for the back pod. It sucks that it's the same knowing that they don't carry the Delta's drones. But if you have an extra YF-30 Chronos laying around somewhere maybe you can use that assuming that it will fit. But seriously, Bandai should've done something like this instead since they already replaced the drones with missiles in the back leg. You know, make the Cannon Fodder's worthwhile. 1 hour ago, Shukenzero said: Does it say anywhere that the numbers will be stickers like the VF-27s?

You don't want your squadron to have 03 as their modex number. Is there any reason why it's 03? I mean all the CF one featured are the 01's. 52 minutes ago, Lolicon said: Those pics are of a prototype. The markings are decals (the carrier film is visible).

Sanity is Optional Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Well, I guess it's time to start modeling up a replacement for the charger half of the weapons pod. Quote
