Are Bandai still going to do Super Parts for the remaining Valks (31A, 31S, 31E), knowing that they already shown Arad's Armored Pack? I'm sure they might release Chuck's Armored Pack than the Super Pack. And while they're at it, they might do VF-31A's Armored Pack as well. Quote
Rogueload Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 Yeah I’ll get the 31A, E, and S supers when they come out could be a while till they’re released tho. Quote

Mommar Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Sounds like the Armor parts are coming the 16th. Quote
twich Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Silly Question, I do not own any of the Bandai DX VF-31 variants. I know that the VF-31 A,J,C,F,J Kai, S, F Movie all come with the gunpod. I am looking at the "E" model and I know that it has the radome that folds and goes in the spot for the weapons container, but does it come with the gunpod? I am pretty sure that it does not, but just asking. I know it does not have it in the anime. Thank You Twich Quote

beatsing Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 @Saburo nice pic. Your photos are so clean. I haven't collected any of vf31 variants because I'm not into Delta, but this one with the radome looks pretty sweet. Quote
twich Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) for some reason, I am really hung up on the fact that I want my Valkyrie toy to have a gunpod, which the VF-31E does not. Yes, I know it has the 25mm mini-gunpods on the arms, but the turret is what I would like with the ability to change it to the hand. Not wanting to spend $400-750 USD on a Macross jet, this only leaves the VF-31F and VF-31E. I will only convince my wife to let me get one......it is a tough decision. So, here is a question...for those that have a VF-31 DX toy and another DX toy, like the VF-27 or YF-29, which is the "best" toy? I like the "S" variants of the Macross VF's, but cant justify the inflated prices on the secondary market. Any input would be nice! Thanks! Twich Edited August 1, 2019 by twich Quote
Rogueload Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Didn't see you mention the VF-25 design, you could always find a Ozma VF-25S renewal or a Ozma YF-29. Only downfall with the DX VF-25's is that the joints tend to get a little sloppy but that can be fixed with tightening the screw on the joint. As far as the DX VF-31, nothing IMO has better engineering then it. It's rock solid. Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Of the Bandai DX Valks I have (VF-1J, VF/YF-19, (R)VF-171, (R)VF-25, VF-27, VF-29, YF-30, VF-31), the best is hands-down the VF-1, and the second place is solidly the VF-31. I like the look of the VF-25 more than the VF-31, but the VF-31 has much better engineering. Quote
seti88 Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Man ...I can never say that... I love ALL of them! Quote

gabuyan Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 Now NY sent me this... " We are contacting today regarding this product : Macross Delta - Armored Parts Set for DX Chogokin VF-31S Siegfried (Arad Molders Custom) - Limited Edition We've just got the confirmation that the release date for this product was changed. Initially the release date was on : 2019-08-31 The new release date is now on : 2019-08-23 I'll believe it when I get it I guess. Quote
seti88 Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 thats pretty standard release procedure actually...some shops put the worst scenario dateline first ie end of month, when in actuality the toy is released after mid month... call it buffer or what you may like ... Quote

Then I guess I call the one year gap from NY for the DX VF-31A a buffer. Quote
seti88 Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 Yup! NY's mistake was misstating the release date...i.e. please wait on your a$$ while we scramble to find one for you... Quote

Moosey Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 Aw man I just got my import duty letter for Chuck!! Ouchie. That’s added another 25-30% to the price. Quote
Grey728 Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) Is this what @Saburo uses for those great Macross shots? Is it finally available to us?! https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/98663 Edited August 2, 2019 by Grey728 Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 His is a bit different, but he did design that one as well, IIRC. Quote

Yep, I hate getting these letters, could have bought another VALK with all the import duties I have had. So far only NY has been the only site that has bypassed this. HLJ, CDJ, HS, Ami, Mandarake, all put the full amount and thus get charged this horrendous amount. Quote

You need to start your own revolution and rid yourself of the tyranny of such taxes. Maybe the French can help you out. Quote

At least they still fulfill most of the order instead of cancel it then put it up for sell with 4x the msrp price. Quote
