spanner Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 I thought I read someone saying they got dispatch notice from CDJ.. I ordered my three from them but haven't got any notification regarding shipping.. ffs Quote

Because I really hate the glittered canopy on the 31's. Now I just need it for the 31A for consistency sake. Oh I know the promo pics were like that but that's no guarantee the final product will have it. But it looks like Bandai kept the clearer canopy for the final release. It'd be nice if they carried it over to the remaining 31s, even if it's inconsistent with previous releases. I already have a bunch of inconsistent canopies with the VF-1s. Quote
TrickyCustomer Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 The thing's a work of art. So excited to get mine! Quote

If you really like the 31A's design, but don't have the skill to build hasegawa, buy this one right now. The price is already going up in Japan (due to tamashii never does re-print). But if you have the patient, you might want to wait because obviously bandai wants more money, and there's a good chance they will do another release with Arad's insignia sometime in the future.

borgified Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Huh?? I thought the Kairos canopy cover is supposed to be clear like Messers (according to the promo pic posted by @IXTL), however I guess that Bandai decided to make it a universal yellow/light amber colour instead.. Edit: The numbering is different as well. Edited March 17, 2018 by borgified Quote

CrossAir Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Ah, stop posting those pics. Something in my had tells me I should have ordered one more! I only wanted the Kairos for display in Fighter mode but now I fell in love with its look in Battroid mode as well. So hard to wait for dispatch note. Quote

TrickyCustomer Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 The more pictures i see of this thing the more i like it. So wish i had mine now! The only tiny negative nit pick i can give the 31 is the rear landing gear design. It looks like it has mud flaps. I get that it works and is part of the design but i would have liked a more conventional rear landing gear. But it's such a small issue i'm not even that bothered. Looks great in the diorama and with armaments. Quote
anime52k8 Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 I still like the VF-31F the most but that actually looks really good. kind of regret not getting one, although I'm now kind of super broke. Quote
Shukenzero Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Picked up my copies today. Only had a chance to open one and it's fab! I wish they would have included a second pilot- was there a second pilot on the show? Anyways, a really nice design that screams real life military. Quote

Yeah, bandai didn't want to retool the nose, and guess they only retool area's they cant get paint over, such as the fold carbon collars... I thk the 31A would look quite cool with smoked canopies instead of gold, but guess bandai didnt want to fuss abt the canopies..... Quote

As for Kairos Super Parts, I rather wait for an official one. And for sure there will be. The picture frame holder i had didnt have a long enough back, so the top of the valk felt like toppling over. Naturally the 31 is a long bird... I think i shall resume my search for a more stable one, perhaps in ikea...thks for the reminder! Quote

505thAirborne Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 That VF-31A pic made me think of this! Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Have yet to jump on the 31 wagon. Thought about it for several releases and even participated in some of the insanity around preorders. The CF one is the one I wish I had paid closer attention to. I like it way more than any of the hero options this go around. Quote
