Expand If Mandarake had it for 25k I don't think you are going to found something better, well maybe opened, package damaged at 24k or something like that. They are selling for about the same price at YJA. Edited October 17, 2020 by betocc Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Retail was 23k (before tax), so the prices honestly aren't bad. Quote

Lolicon Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 You guys should know by now that Bandai joints only come in two variations: floppy as hell or tightened by someone with the strength of the mentally deranged. Quote

Expand Nah, there's a third type: properly assembled, but with a giant piece of flash or a nub on one of the parts that keeps it from working properly. Quote
CharlesXavier Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Guess we will have to use nail varnish to coat a layer around the joint to fix it (again)? Quote

Alex GS Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) cant wait to have mine, love the clear canopy and tight joints on the arms and legs, definitely those extra screws on the legs are welcome update: Holy damn I just saw this, I think the tightness on the arms won't last too much , does the old one have this same issue? Edited October 18, 2020 by Alex GS Quote
ridgebacks Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Missed the pre-order window. Now the only place selling it without a forward service is Nippon-yesan and they charge 29,800 yen for it. Not sure whether I will get it. Quote
CF18 Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Base on the video review: New one have a flat coating, old one is much more shinny. The red difference between painted and plastic red part is more obvious on the new one. New cockpit glass is more transparent, still have a light purple hue on it. New one have replaceable head fin and come with two fins. The new fin is a bit longer and pointier. New one have much stronger wing engine joint. New one have a better landing gears lock. (Already used in other YF-29 releases) Stronger hip ball joint (but not clicky like the 31), tightened by 3 screws instead of 1. Wrist forward joint is stronger. Cheat swing bars have clicky part for better B mode locking. Head cannons are hard plastic. Quote

Expand Forget NY @ridgebacks as you might have seen so much BS that's been given to the members here. Go to Amazon.jp and get a copy there, although you have missed the the orders to get one at MRSP (look for the one with the Supers on the Battriod). Edit: Sanity has beaten me to the punch!

yman1437 Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 wow.....debating if I should not get this release and just keep my last reissue of YF-29 (the one with the wrong shoulder tab) and then track down a super part set. At least the arm doesn't fall off, right?? Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 One of my pre-orders is with nin-nin. No word from them yet, so I expect they won't fulfill either. Picked up on Amazon Japan instead, likely will end up a similar price. Quote
ErikElvis Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 I was on the fence as I have the original but decided to pick up one from AJ. I mean it has a different finish and all.... Quote
