IXTL Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 The exclusive add-on sets for the Delta valks have been terribly expensive compared to the Frontier ones. Quote
mickyg Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Looks very nice and the proportions seem to be better than for the model kit, too. No preorder link in NY yet... Quote
seti88 Posted March 16, 2017 Author Posted March 16, 2017 Transformation video...challenge accepted....not!!!! that is one insane transformation! the shield does detach tho so that's how the hingeless shield would go on... and...double jointed landing gear! Quote

valhary Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 I like the landing gear keep the evolution of the 19 advance interesting transformation although complex and dangerous I hope the anchor points and the skeleton be solid Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 That is really a unique transformation, especially how the arms are handled. So many cautionary points though. Seems a bit scary. Glad they are including the sword in the add on and the Lil Drakens seem fairly detailed and have landing gear which Luca's ghosts lacked. Quote
seti88 Posted March 16, 2017 Author Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Bandai recognised the need for support too when the ghosts are attached in battroid. Nice, at least less stress on the wing joints... And oh yes...the actual draken looks BOSS! Tampo city!! Edited March 16, 2017 by seti88 Quote
Shukenzero Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Looks fantastic but as above, scary. The little pieces seem to hold the unit together around the upper thighs in gerwalk, and they look like they will be the first to snap. Won't be sure how well those tiny pieces are all gonna hold up after a transformation. The VF-31 was solid at least, minus the floppy connection along the spine near the canopy. I'm hoping Bandai didn't do a VF-171 and overdesign it. Having said that, great super parts and where the hell is my Mirage?! Quote
enphily Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) That transformation is insane. And i'm little frustrating, 1/72 transformation was much simplier Super parts are great, but, like vf-31 super parts, too luxury for me:( Edited March 16, 2017 by enphily Quote
barurutor Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 I wonder if the transformation process came to be due to the practice of Lego prototyping by Kawamori, or the other way around (transformation process already fleshed out, just using Lego to test the idea if feasible). Quote
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Well, put me down for one. They had meet with the sword and better shield. Quote
F360 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 I was kinda hoping for a extra collapsible sword so it can be stored in the leg armor compartment Quote
Graham Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Well, that transformation looks insanely complicated. I think I gonna transform it to all modes once only and then put it back into fighter mode and keep it that way. Quote

Bandai can you please make more or not? Please hire a new Marketing estimator.... Are you referring to the add-on parts or the Draken itself? Just saw the video. Cant' wait. w00t w00t! Quote
mickyg Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Watched the vid just now too. A few thoughts came to mind: It looks very gappy at the start, and ends up that way too. I think this is likely to be due to how quickly he's running through it and simply not taking the time to push everything together fully before finishing. The finish looks awesome! Nice, bright, glossy gold trim on a matte blue - exactly how I think it should look (NZEOD, no offence to your beautiful jewel interpretation on your 1/72 model kits). Transformation is complicated but not a lot worse than the VF-19EX that Bandai has already done. Looks like it locks together extremely well in all modes. Love the range of motion. I'll ship mine pretty much as soon as it hits the private warehouse - can't wait to get it in my hot little hands! Quote
F360 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 I think the video made the transformation look more complicated than it actually is. The person handing the toy seems not too familiar with it yet. Quote
Archer Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Anywhere left to grab one besides eBay? These videos aren't good for my wallet.... Quote

Slave IV Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 No need to rush on po'ing the add on parts since they are exclusives, right? Quote

But make sure to put your PO before the deadline. By the way, since Draken will come out on the 18th. Anyone got their invoice from AmiAmi? Quote

F360 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 pre order starts March 17, 2017, 16 o'clock (jst) If you are in the USA west coast that's March 17, 2017 midnight 00:00 due to the recent daylight savings. That's about 24 and a half hours away from now. But they make tons of these, so their should be no madness. Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Glad to see the video up. Time to give it a watch before bed. Edited March 16, 2017 by kaiotheforsaken Quote

seti88 Posted March 16, 2017 Author Posted March 16, 2017 btw does anyone know how to have a paid pre-order WITHOUT shipping when ordering p-bandai items in N-Y? I want to leave a paid pre-order open for combining, but always end-up paying for shipping upfront as well, which means i cannot combine with any other items when the p-bandai item is released.. Quote
Atheonyirh Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Well, that's a rather intimidating looking transformation. Glad I plan to put mine in Gerwalk mode and leave it there. Quote
Negotiator Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 i like the broken thumb lol and how he gave up lining everything up in the end. If you have the model, it's really not that crazy and you'll be used to it pretty quickly. Quote
