Please let me know what paint you find that’s a good match, I intend to do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming it'll only be available from their site on PO night? But more importantly, how easy will it be to get it shipped to the USA? They are usually easier to get than regular releases. Here's some of the stores that usually have TWE for purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) The question is do I buy two just to be sure? The orange is still too bright. Edited February 21, 2019 by Mommar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I figure I can use the second one on Chuck's orange VF-31. That or re-paint it for use with Mirage/VF-31A/whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at fighter mode, I can barely make out the 31S wingtip below the missile pack. You are right in that sense I suppose. 6 hours ago, Saburo said: I am pretty sure all armored parts will attach to the 31A without issue except for the chest armor due the 31A's armor pieces that replace the fold quartz. I hope they factored that armored parts. Oh yeah that was kind of an issue with the fast pack armors, not exactly w perfect fit but still able to sit on the 31A’s chest nevertheless, so probably that would be the same here..I think the bigger issue now would be that the 31A canards are bigger than the walkure valks. Would the additional shoulder armors now b able to fit on a larger 31A canard? Edited February 22, 2019 by seti88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem like the mechanic to hold the booster on the wing will be just like the Fast pack, but with some obscure so that the wing has to fold down at an angle like the lil' draken pack.

Graham Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I'm gonna pass on the Armour Pack. Really don't like the design and colour scheme. Plus it's likely to be a joint killer in battroid mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really its fault as much as us being spoiled with the Ozma armour beforehand. Also, I’m unsure if Bandai will make supers and I don’t want my S to have no equipment.

slide Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Just now, Shukenzero said: What’s keeping them from releasing anything for the Kairos? Things to Consider: Macross is a far more Niche market than, for example, Gundam. One of the reasons DX releases seem to sell-out like hotcakes is that they are limited release, expensive collector's pieces, which results in a relative [though likely not objectively] high demand [ie: within the Macross community the demand is high, but John-Q-Public says "oh, cool jet fighter that transforms... but for $200?"] Bandai's production schedule is likely set for the next, say, 12 months out from any given time. So there's a lag between when something they release gets unexpectedly hot, and when they can produce a thing to capitalize on it. [I'm making assumptions as Bandai are a HUGE corporation with a lot of Franchises to juggle.] What's the condition of the Super-pack moulds? do they need repair/replacement? [extra time and money] Lots of potential reasons to speculate on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna resist as long as I can, but unless they make a '31C color-ver. picking up a '31S+Armour is in my wallet's future... [I'm betting that Check's '31E will be hard to come by for a long while because of it's sweet, sweet Ray-dome action] maybe Hasegawa will come out with Super and Armour versions by then and save me a boat-load of money Edited February 22, 2019 by slide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) So it would stand to reason they will also release other colored versions , based on the movie..?

Mommar Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 There is a second film coming out next year. Bandai could have easily twisted the screws and ordered alternate colored versions of the armor appear just to get more reuse from the mold.

There were no close-up of it like Arad's and Chuck's. No Battroid mode featured either. Edited February 23, 2019 by no3Ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
