Bolt Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 To each their own. Delta has been the most color wandering squadron yet. I don’t really like any of the color schemes of the armor parts. I would custom that. Don’t care for Hayate’s Valk color scheme even a little. But I do like Mirage’s C ,Arads S And Messers F, in that order I guess. I would get chuck’s E because I like the radome’s.. but at the end of the day , I agree that these toys are we’ll engeneered and that makes them quite desirable . Not sure I’ll even get more of these , just some supers and Armored Set. Way beyond the point of needing to complete the whole squadron. Quote

Fortunately, I fall under the all of the above category so I have no worries. fwiw, I agree with your overall choices. My favorite go to in order would be C, F, J Kai, S, J out of the main hero Valks that have been released. I brought all but the Kai so far, as it is hard to get. But I didn't like alot of the colors either, and really only wanted an A and C. But saying that after I got them all I don't mind the colors and can't wait to get Chuck's E. Quote
borgified Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 The Kai is available for grabs @Saviant if you do some searching. You can't go wrong with Mirage's C (as the double visor look does stand out compared to the single visor look of the Skull units) and the Magenta makes it stand out compared to the other 31 valks. [For the record: It's not pink, purple, boysenberry, Horseshoe Blood Blue, Klingon Bloodwine Red or Nora's 51 Maroon (?)] Chuck's 31e is the only valk that has a foldable randome. Quote

I saw one going for 33k yen, but is more than I want to drop atm with Chuck and the armor parts coming up Quote
Mommar Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 I was put off by Mirage's not-red Valk as well. But honestly, in person, it looks FANTASTIC. It's a great color. Quote
Bolt Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Nice pose! As someone else mentioned, I believe Mirage’s Valk is MAGENTA Favorite Valk, favorite Delta pilot Quote

When I got mine the F and J were around the 14k jpy each, the C I got for around 8k. Saying that I might of got lucky the C in a yahoo japan auction but I haven’t checked the prices since. Quote
borgified Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I've got Supers for Mirage at ¥12k and Messer's for ¥13k (both from Manda after the actual released date). Hunting down Messer's took me some time after I got the Movie Version 31f. Quote

If it wasn't for the fact that the DX VF-31 is such a well-engineered toy, I'd probably have skipped it altogether. I was never a fan of the forward swept wing. Even the YF-19 was a turnoff because of that wing design. I don’t know why, but the Arad 31S just appealed to me for some reason. I looked more and more at the 31’s and I realized they’re not much different from the VF-1’s in that the main differences between the models are the color schemes and the head designs. I had a 31A because it has “normal” wings but WOW the engineering was amazing. So that led me to finally get a 31J even though I wasn’t a fan of the wing sweep, and I’m glad I changed my mind. I’ve got a 31S almost on the way and like I said I’m sorta looking at the 31’s like my VF-1’s. I have multiple versions because of the paint schemes and heads. Haven’t caved yet for the 31’s parts sets though so I hear you with that gripe. Quote

It's your call if you just want the 31 valks as is or with the Supers. The Supers are costly now than before during the release date. The only three 31 valks that don't have the Supers yet are the Karios, Arad and Chuck's (his valk is to be released on the last week of next month/first week of August). Only time will tell if the Silpheed Armour is made for the rest of the 31 valks (as Arad has got his and to be released the last week of August/first week of September). or If the 31a Arad (with the Dragon head Itasha) will be made for the second Delta movie.

borgified Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 One month to go for Chuck's 31e release. Anyone excited for the official reveal and the multitude of pics to be slathered on this thread? Quote
Bolt Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Everything I’ve seen of Chuck’s ride makes it very desirable to me.. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 What I'm really waiting for is to see how similar Chuck's color is with the Sylpheed armor. Quote
Lolicon Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Received notification from NY that the release for Chuck is 7/20. My first reaction was "Wait, I have a VF-31E preorder at NY?!" followed by "Oh it must have been before they implemented that stupid ticket number BS." Quote

borgified Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) @Lolicon, @jenius - At lease your copy(s) of Chuck's 31e is secured. The other hurdle is waiting to get it labeled, shipped and officially mailed off and not sitting on the counter for "x" amount of days before sending it off. Edited June 28, 2019 by borgified Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Whoops, need to update my shipping address for those. Quote
