Sanity is Optional Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 It's not just standing, it's actually fairly difficult to knock over (well, as far as transforming valkyries go). Quote
Grey728 Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 That surprisingly looks solid despite all that added bulk. Wow! Quote
Mommar Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 I got lucky and happened across an Amazonjp seller fulfilled by Amazon who ships to the US. I can slap the second one (if it shows up) on Chuck's 31. Quote

VF22fan Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Submitted my ticket to NY. Waiting for his reply for my PO VF-31 armour pack. Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) I got a prep in progress from NY. I'm assuming its the armored packs because its the only open order i have left with them. *yup just checked... its the armored pack and for some reason I selected ems for it when i preordered lol insert sad face* Edited August 28, 2019 by PsYcHoDyNaMiX Quote
ErikElvis Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 I’m really digging the armor in battroid. Unfortunately it’s prob going to be relegated to closet duty unless I can find the boxes to some of my other valks and put them away. Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Preparation in progress from NY as well. Shipped? Most likely Friday. Quote
VF22fan Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Mine got a replied that same thing. Nonsense. Hahaha.... We did not receive our stock yet. We will send your parcel as soon as possible after the arrival of product. You will receive the notification e-mail when we will ship your parcel. We apologize for the inconvenience. Quote
Shizuka the Cat Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Why am I getting paranoid flashbacks to NY's handling of the 31A? Quote

borgified Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Looks like another Silpheed Armour has been picked up on Manda for the same price that I got for (18K yen) and it's from the Complex branch. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1118889238&ref=list&dispCount=240&keyword=%E3%83%9E%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B9&lang=en I believe that 18k yen will be the asking price for it when stocking it in other branches.

iguanaman8989 Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Preparation in progress, with no request for more shipping! (N-Y) Quote
Mommar Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 And how long will this preparation take? My two Figuarts Yoda and Iron Man figures have been hanging out in prep for three days now. Quote
HardlyNever Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Also preparation in progress from NY on the armor parts. Seems like they just sent out a mass notice to everyone that pre-ordered there, so I dunno how helpful that is. Kind of disappointed it's not a shipping notification at this point. Quote
Alphahorizon Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Same! Super excited to add this to the Arad. I wonder if there's anybody out there that has three of them that's going to display them in each mode? Quote
brouken Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 After being unavailable in NY, the armor is back up with the usual mark-up: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/27647-macross-delta-armored-parts-set-for-dx-chogokin-vf-31s-siegfried-arad-molders-custom-limited-edition.html I was getting worried that NY might not get enough stock for everyone who ordered, but now that its back on stock and us getting the preparation in progress emails, I'm reasonably confident that I'll have my armors soon. Also, now that I've seen the armors on Chuck's 31, it's apparent that they're a different shade of orange. Still miffed that they went with orange for Arad's armor pack though. Quote
jenius Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) Never mind, I figured it out. Edited August 28, 2019 by jenius Quote

Knightdramon Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Yup, count me as well as one of the people that got the preparation email from NY. Quote

I wuv AmazonJP and DHL. Quote
Grey728 Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 I just got one from AJ as well for $220 shipped. Really excited about this one! Quote

My copy got delivered to my house while I was on the way to work (saw my email notices of delivery). Now is the question if I got nabbed by CBSA (Canada Boarder Services Association) for a 18k yen, 2 kg box of Silpheed Parts. Quote
Shukenzero Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 It looks good on Chuck, and I have to say Ozma still is the king of armoured VFs. I think with the OTT weapons, the valk lost some its shape, unlike the 25S, which managed to retain a bit of that triangular look, making it more aggressive to me. This just seems to be a block of parts with an aircraft nose pointing out. That said, it’s still nice but not as fantastic as the 25. Quote
seti88 Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) Yup i agree ozma's armor is da boss. Very complementary design aesthetics to bring bulk to a sleek VF-25 valkyrie. Edited August 29, 2019 by seti88 Quote
Dirtyboy Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 I have combined shipping from NY with Riobot Yellow, so no idea when that figure is released so might be a bit of a wait for me. But cant wait for it. Quote

CF18 Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 With armor, it can still stand on the legs if the ground is not too slippery. The elbows can hold the weights only at certain angles. The add-on clip on the back don't seems to be useful - it will just fly off if the big cannon's weight applies on it. Haven't try to transform it yet. Quote
Grey728 Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 @CF18Hold up... is that a picture of your collection... AT WORK? I think I know who's desk I'm going to raid on my last day before I quit or get laid off! What kind of stand are you using to prop up your VF-31E and J in that picture? Quote
