Sildani Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I want to get a 262, but I’m waiting for a Ba variant. Either Bogue’s or Mirage’s from the movie will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Maybe they're going to wait another year or two on the 262 and do a "renewal" version? Eh, probably not. The VF-25 made sense because it sold so well... spending more money on a mold that didn't sell well probably wouldn't make the accountants happy.

If they re-use the majority of the parts, the new mold costs could be kept quite low. I think the major candidate for a re-design is the complicated wing winging assembly, which could be re-done with just a few small parts (leaving the wing and body panels themselves alone).

spanner Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 heck, I don't mind waiting for the other characters 262's if they do a renewal version considering they have only released one of them so far.. it does need a bit of work. but if they don't then wot evs, I'll still buy them as is.

Patience good sir, I suspect that the 31A will be one of the next Holy Grail must have Valks... and you'll soon have three. The wait is worth it.

It will have the DX style sensor windows vs the recessed sensors. However, depending on which pic is the official version it'll have the back sensor partially painted or regular. They have pics of it painted but it uses the exact same pic as the one with the regular style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
