I am just curious about how many 31A's are in "circulation" out in the open. Nobody can really say how many are out there. We can probably get the tally just from this forum. But I'm sure our numbers here are probably less than what? 50? 100? We couldn't even get an actual reason from Bandai as to why the production is less, more so getting the numbers of the actual production. Quote

I understand... the 31A is probably a bit of an extreme example, and I appreciate that we probably won't know the real answer, but I do wonder how many valks are made in a typical Bandai DX run? My guess is at least 5,000, maybe closer to 10,000 even (eg the latest YF-19 FSP has pretty good availability even after release), but it remains a curious mystery to me. Quote

jenius Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) I think CDJ had an issue with their email. I got my notification that my 31F Movie version shipped and the next day it arrived. On the "how many" 31As topic. I think a minimum of 5000 is likely. They probably have a max factory run also and then they build to order with a margin of error. We don't know the max run (where they stop preorders early and say they've hit capacity). Sadly, even if we knew the number they intended, we don't know what happened afterward....

Boobytrap Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 My 31A arrived home safe and sound yesterday. No brown shipper box which is to be expected with these late acquisitions by NY. It was a long frustrating wait but now that I have it it was worth it. One of my favorites for sure. Quote

I still haven't transformed my 31A yet because I love the fighter mode and the regular wings too much... lol. But the head in battroid mode and the color scheme looks really nice. Quote
Petrov27 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Received tracking # for 31A today from NY - amazing... Quote

chyll2 Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 The stand arms prediction is true. Haha it will come with four to support it. Quote
seti88 Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Very attractive I must say. Those colours really pop! Quote
WaferMouse Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Oh and is that a bit of Chuck's wingtip on the left? About time. Quote
borgified Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Damn!! How is all that extra weight armoured set going to add to Arad's valk? Looks like Xaos found extra heavy artillery stashed somewhere... Now the MRSP is to be determined possibly at the Tamashii event I take it? 3 minutes ago, WaferMouse said: Oh and is that a bit of Chuck's wingtip on the left? About time. Good eye! Edit: One more thing to add - Jungle has Mirage's supers for 10.8k yen (Grade A) for anyone who needs it .

Lolicon Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Haven't watched the movie yet, so is it supposed to be all white like that? All that plain white with no additional details or markings looks pretty bland. Quote

I've seen the movie online a few weeks ago and it's a "Newer Revamp" telling of the series with changed deals and added scenes. Animation is the same, no change present. Others may see differently.

Darth Mingus Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 So the only things that makes the armour pack unique to Arad are the new shoulder covers (which looks like they either clip onto the canards or replaces the canards) and the logo on the chest armour. Quote

I wonder how necessary the support arms are, even for short term posing. With as big as it is, and all those extra supports, that thing is going to be a space hog. Quote
