My CDJapan order still just says March 2018. I wonder cause I'll be changing addresses in mid-March and am thinking it might be wise to put the later address in just to be safe. Aren’t they usually released near the end of the month? Quote

I see. You can try and inform CDJapan ahead of time to send it to you atleast by early April and tell them that you're moving? Quote

Well they allow me to make changes to the shipping address before it ships, so changing it to where I'm going is not a problem (I'm currently going someone that already has people there so it is not like I have no destination address yet). My question was more about should I go ahead and do that even if I don't know when this will actually ship in March. It'd be easier to get it and pack it if it shipped before I left but that might not happen. It sounds like I should probably just do it. Quote

locidm Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) The armor covers so much of the valk it almost doesn’t matter what’s underneath except for the head. If it’s sold separately I might grab it to put it on Messer or something. Not a big fan or Arad’s scheme. Edited February 24, 2018 by locidm Quote

F360 Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 When i first saw the armor , i thought it looks a bit overkill . Then i look at the red and white deep striker................. Now the armor looks way less overkill and is about right at full armor level. Quote
kajnrig Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 When did the 25G wear Tornado parts in the movie? I thought that was just a quirky "we did it because we wanted to" thing on Bandai's part, like the Ozma/Isamu/Roy YF-29s. There's the flimsy excuse that they were featured in Macross 30, sure, but still... So pilot-specific armored parts aren't TOO outside the realm of possibility. Quote

Roughly 25 minutes into the second movie, the first space mission we see the G has the Tornado parts. Quote

Mommar Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) Was just flipping through the images of the 31A from this website: http://blog.livedoor.jp/tamashii_robot/19959896201717 CAN’T. WAIT. So anyway, we know Arad is coming sans armor. And Chuck will likely be the same. Which I think is business smart. With the 25 releases Alto and Ozma came plain, in that order, then they released their Supers then their Armors in the order the Valks were released. So we saw Altos armor before Ozma. My question is will we end up seeing Armor parts for the 31A first because it’s being released first? I’m assuming they will make them for the A model as well. The molds already exist and they made Super parts for the previous 25A cannon fodders. Edited February 24, 2018 by Mommar Quote
GabrielV Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 In regards to the 31A. Since I'm still new and inexperienced in the ways of Bandai Valkyrie madness... I had to skip on pre-ordering back in November. What are my options going to be for scoring one of these now? Will HLJ or CD Japan or some other vendor likely get them in stock on release, or am I stuck with ebay or something? Quote

You can find them at proxy stores like nippon-yasan , MyKombini , anime-export . and preowned item stores like Mandarake, amiami preowned section. expect to pay more Quote

WAIT. Good God that just looks beautiful. The best part is the more modern realistic gun metal gray being used instead of the traditional Macross beige for the cannon fodder units. Having worked on real aircraft painted more like this it just makes this feel more real. Quote

borgified Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Anyone still looking for plain VF-31J Hayate for their collection? There are three up for grabs on Amiami (pre-owned). Quote
brouken Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 March 1 marked on my calendar! Do preorders still open at 4 pm Japan time? Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 So I'm preparing myself for the innevitable F5. To be fair, all units have been somehow easy to obtain. Quote

I know it's movie based. But that doesn't stop Bandai to 'recolor' for the others, right? Ooo boy the ultimate platoon... Walkure armored platoon! iis that what u r thinking? Quote

Mommar Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 I wish the pre-orders were March 2nd. I’m off that day so being up at 1am is easier to pull off. Quote
