no3Ljm Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 What book was this from? That is one sweet looking custom! So my friend replied. Shukenzero is correct too. It was the Hobby Japan Nov Issue. Quote
Lolicon Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 hehe! i'd still love to get multiples but im a little worried that there won't be enough to go round even after release! either that or they'll hike the prices right up! end up like YF-30 pricing and we know how silly that has become.. Well, YF-30 prices didn't really skyrocket till around the time Delta started airing. It came out 2 or 3 years ago. Hopefully, the overall suckiness of Delta will be mean more availability post-release. Quote
chyll2 Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 YF-30 was shelfwarmer back then. I was not able to monitor when the prices went up but I believe it happened when the 30 went Canon. Quote
seti88 Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Yup believe the price of the 30 started up abt the time kawamori was promoting delta last year and mentioned abt the connection to the 31.. Quote
Lolicon Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Preorder up at Amiami http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-021748 Quote
chyll2 Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 wow, 5mins and still available. One is enough for me. Quote
pteroleo Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Managed to grab one on Ami Ami, still some up for preorder... if you want it now is the time Quote
frankell05 Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 I'll be dammed. I think I actually got a pre order for this. Won't believe it until it's at my doorstep. Quote
pteroleo Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 hahaha same here, but i m thinking Bandai must have realized that the demand was crazy so they had to make more. a lot of toys companies are trying to deal with zero stock and produce only units that will be sold like Fanstoys or ThreeA. Basically they dont want to overproduce since making such a collectible is expensive to manufacture. Macross figures are a niche product, not as mass market as One piece figures for ex. at least thats my understanding Quote
snakerbot Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Tempting... But I'm going to pass on this. I'm not a big enough fan of the VF-31 to justify getting more than one, and Mirage's has much better colors. Nice to see some of you guys are getting a second chance though. Enjoy! Quote
BluprinT Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Nice!!! my first Bandai DX pre-order obtained Thanks for the heads up guys! As for the VF-31, i must say that it has grown on me over the course of the anime and especially after getting a Yf30 recently. I love how it transforms and the "backpack" really adds character and gives it that extra flare that should come with with the evolution of the valkyrie. so im very excited to get one, hopefully i can find another pre- order somewhere too Quote
Master Dex Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 I'll pass on this, and wait for Messer's 31F to go with the Sv-262Hs Keith I've already preordered. Quote
Sandman Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 damn missed this. They always come available in the middle of the night. Quote
jaylive Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 it was up for a very long time. i got one about 11am. Quote

Yup believe the price of the 30 started up abt the time kawamori was promoting delta last year and mentioned abt the connection to the 31.. yeah it started to climb up for a little while before Delta hit screens but now its just gotten silly. Im glad I managed to snag three of them beforehand! Quote

Im glad I managed to snag three of them beforehand! Ooo congrats, no wonder the price went just a bit higher too due to scarcity! I wonder if the prices of the 31's go higher, will it affect the 30's too? from tochiro's post...https://twitter.com/GwynCampbell/status/789711112316915712 first ever pic of battroid w speaker pod?

IXTL Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 first ever pic of battroid w speaker pod? CvWeEIYUMAAI6fo.jpg Nope. Already seen back in episode 6. Quote
seti88 Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 Ah right perhaps he meant in PSVita. My memory only recalled the gerwalk with speaker pod in the asteroid field! Quote
Duymon Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 After selling a ton of stuff i have 6 detolf spaces cleared and enough budget for 2x each vf-31 and just 1 keith Will be fun playing f5 wars well into 2017 Quote
F360 Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-021748 Up on AmiAmi again Quote
mechaninac Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Got the FigInStock email alert for the 31J this morning and was all excited... but at full retail -- not even a measly 5% preorder descount -- they can keep it. I'll keep an eye open for N-Y instead. Quote

I'll keep an eye open for N-Y instead. It is above retail since overseas customer should only be paying 20,000 yen. Quote
Lolicon Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Amiami and a few other shops add on the Japanese consumption tax to their merchandise, even though us gaijin should be exempt from it. Quote
Actar Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Are you kidding me? (>.<) I missed it again! Saw the sweet orange button, but when I clicked it, it was gone. Edited October 25, 2016 by Actar Quote
UN Spacy Posted October 26, 2016 Author Posted October 26, 2016 It'll probably reopen again. Don't y'all fret. Quote
eXis10z Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 It'll probably reopen again. Don't y'all fret. The resale price on these things are enough to make me pee in my pants. LOL Quote
Heatwave Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Still no news on the next VF-31 pre-order date? Quote
abbadon Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Still no news on the next VF-31 pre-order date? Maybe this weekend during the Tamashii Nations event. Quote
hachi Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 An unintended consequence of Delta's dismal 2nd half was that I wasn't drooling that much anymore over these. I imagine I'd be stressed enough not getting these if Delta met my expectations. But if they release Mirage's after I recover from the hit from HMR Miria I might reconsider... Quote
