Are you sure you're not gonna get doubles of Arad's and Chuck's? What if Bandai release their Super Packs after the Armored Packs? Given Bandais previous track record their super parts will be first and armor will be second. Edited February 26, 2018 by Mommar Quote

I am more interested in the Armor packs though, since the 31A is not yet released (hence no announcement on the pack it will carry), will the pack for it will be the Super or Armor? I will jump straight to Armored version if it happens. I like to order from NY as well but they have been a little unpredictable the last few preorders. Quote

Well, if I were you, make sure you get hold of a VF-31S preorder anywhere since this is a general release. And then order your Super/Armored Packs later on at Nippon-Yasan. The goal here is that atleast you're already secured with one from other stores. Quote

Their prices for the VF-31J was about $50 more, and shipping was reasonable as you got what you paid for. I don't remember what I paid exactly, but shipping was $40 but I think I got it in 3 business days. After the 31J their prices went sky high, and shipping costs were no longer reasonable. I think they are reputable, as they will get you what you ordered, its just that they have a high cost of entry. Edited February 27, 2018 by Vortech Quote
Shukenzero Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Thanks for showing me the kairos with armour guys. I think I'm gonna get the whole dang squadron after seeing chuck get armour too. Bandai really know how to get us! Maybe they will announce armour for the kairos too, and then retroactively apply it to the other units so we spend more $$$$$ haha. Imagine Mirage's one heavily armoured Quote

Imagine Mirage's one heavily armoured Kinda doubt they are gonna release the AP for J, C and F. The basic rule is that if it didn't appear on screen (whether it's tv ver. or movie ver.), the chance it will get release is slim to none. The F might get a lil dragon set and that's it. So each one has their own "special setup" in some way (except Mirage's, she gets nothing). edit: btw, do you guys think there will be enough S for the pre-order window to open for at least a day or two? I don't think I can make it to the 2AM EST release time and might only be able to get an order at 12 hours later. Edited February 27, 2018 by ridgebacks Quote

wmkjr Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Kind of a gamble but I'm expecting NY to have a delay of sorts. Quote

I took what I could get. I didn't want to miss out on it. Hopefully in future I will have you guys to keep me in "the know" for best prices and release dates etc It was cheaper than ebay anyway. Suppose it's something. Be cool to have two in formation or one in battroid, the other fighter mode. May even get the 31s. I haven't really warmed to the hero valks, the paint schemes are a bit too crazy for me. I kinda like the real world look of the 31a and prefer the wing shape. Bit like the vf-11b. Need to find myself a grunt 25a too. More money! Edited February 27, 2018 by TrickyCustomer Quote

Arad's Valk is so colorful for the movie. Quote
Shukenzero Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Preordered one for around $218, which is HKD1680. Not the cheapest but I asked the shop and they said it's the first non-tamashii exclusive Valkyrie they've had for preorder. Looks like there's gonna be plentiful stock. Usually they only sell what they get on release day, so just a heads-up for anyone not able to secure one on the first day. Quote

Atleast there's a backup if ever we won't be able to secure on the first day. Quote

If you need a VF-31S I can preorder one for the same price as mine I managed to snag a MB Astraea Type-F there also, but the PO window was like one hour. A bit manic. The VF-31S had 0 preorders when I went today. Edited February 27, 2018 by Shukenzero Quote
