Moosey Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Interested to see what happens to the price of these when Bandai eventually get around to making a -31A Arad custom. Quote

jenius Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 An Arad 31A is such a slam dunk, it's gotta happen. Quote

borgified Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 If Bandai does the Arad 31a, there's another possibly that it will be another TWE and the prices will increase after the orders are filled out. Or not.... That remains to be seen. Quote
Mommar Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 It’ll be harder to get too, CDJapan no longer carries TWE’s so we’re more limited now. Quote
brouken Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Arad's VF-31A plus a 31A armor pack. Do it Bandai! Quote

Thats Just Frontier.. Quote

True, but compare this to the sheer quantity of low-screentime (and even 0 screentime, like the 1/48 low vis and stealth) that Yamcadia has given us. Cavaliers, angel birds, virgin road, CF 1J, all the ugly anniversary valks, YF-19 orange and blue variants, etc... Although I guess bandai did give us the Messer 1S and one of my favorite bandai releases, the YF-25. Quote
Bolt Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Haha. I always just thought of that as Yamato cashing in early. They figured out how to milk us way back when. Lol. Quote

All those Bolt mentioned plus the VB-6 (regular, special, wings of goodbye) and YF-29 variants (30th, Isamu, Ozma, minus Rod's) plus the VF-19 Advance. The next Delta movie might also have a hidden variant. I want a VF-31A Arad but with a bigger marking on it's back. Quote
Bolt Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Oh ya! Forgot about the Advanced. Man, that’s one of my favorites from Frontier! Quote
Guyffon Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 I wished they made the dx 21 from the series Quote
seti88 Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) Found this in the wild ...armored pack but without supports holding it up... and next to a DX Edited April 29, 2019 by seti88 Quote
Alphahorizon Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 Oh I cannot wait to add that to the display Quote
valhary Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 Great news!!!!!! I assume the most of us had the fear that without the supports the armor was not held Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 I still wouldn't try it for any long-term display. Quote

But what worries me is the long haul pertaining to the wing joints and hinges. I rather not risk it without the support. Quote

I rather not risk it without the support. Any pertained extreme weight in the joints , there's a high chance that the joints will wear down regardless - Wear and tear as they say. Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 Well, there's always the option to display in fighter mode. All the weight's on the tabs rather than the joints. Quote

You can even leave it in the shipping box and it will still look good , iirc @Saburo did one before of the amiami shipping box in his flex-hobby base . Can seem to find the link or post . Quote
