Hiryu Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 Looks like the Hasegawa VF-31a is being re-released. Reservations are available on Hobby Search! I'm not letting this this one slip away again. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10472150 Quote

modelglue Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 Phew, glad I signed up for notification. I was going to bite the bullet and buy from an ebay scalper. Quote
kajnrig Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) Debating whether I should opt in for a third kit... Ooooooh, Hasegawa, why you gotta do this to me? EDIT: I don't see it up at HLJ or Amiami, or on the Hasegawa site. Can anyone confirm if this is an actual second production run or just HS finding more stock? Edited December 14, 2017 by kajnrig Quote

Expand HS usually seems to have restock notifications out faster than hlj... for example PLATZ is re-isuing their entire resin 1/72 yukikaze line, and HS had pre-orders for all of it, hlj just has the Mave... $.02 for what it's worth. I got 4 VF-31As from the first run, so I'm good. Quote

Expand they did Hayate's D05, Mirage's D04, Chuck's is D03... I see a pattern that the boxart also alludes to... and since Japanese is read right-to-left... so yea, my hopes are up as well. Think they'll actually give us an option to deploy the sensor-dish? or cop-out on us and just provide it folded-and-Stowed? Edited December 16, 2017 by slide Quote
505thAirborne Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 Just got word from HLJ that they will be opening up orders again for the 1/72 VF-31A. No specific date other than shortly, so keep your eyes open for it! Quote
ivorysniper Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) Hasegawa's Japanese site shows the -31A re-release ready to ship on February 8th. ... and Mirage's bird will be out tomorrow... Edited December 18, 2017 by ivorysniper Quote
505thAirborne Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 https://hlj.com/product/HSG65838 Now showing as back-ordered and you can add to the cart, so I ordered three for me!! Quote
Kelsain Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 Is that how this tends to work at HLJ for re-releases? Quote

Expand Yes, they change the product flag from 'discontinued' to 'backordered', not to a 'future release' status. It's been working that way for the recent Hasegawa re-releases, not sure in the past though. Quote
kajnrig Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 If you mean do they rely on customer inquiry to open up reorders, I'm sure they have their own way of getting notified of relevant re-releases. I think maybe we're just a bit quicker on the trigger, being stupid-obsessed fans and all, and we spam them with questions about things they were going to get to anyway. Quote

I've set alerts for periodically checking Hasegawa's new product info pages, so I can get finantially ready ahead of time Quote
Urashiman Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 Ordered a VF-31A too... great plane! Sadly wasn't able to order the last time it was available, not going to happen this time. Muhahahaha! Quote
505thAirborne Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) Couldn't help it, I decided to pre-order 3 more VF-31A kits... this time with AmiAmi. I'd slightly lose my mind if Hasegawa did a 1/72 Battroid kit like they did for the VF-0's. Edited December 31, 2017 by 505thAirborne Quote

Expand Hasegawa needs to get off their butts and get a VF-19F/S out, then a Battroid of the 19 [any one of them, I don't particularly care which], THEN they can Battroid the VF-31 Quote

Then a VF-31. Quote
slide Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Oh Hasegawa, don't ever change: That's an interesting next thing to have coming out in 1/72... Quote
kajnrig Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) Oh cool, I thought only Bandai was coming out with an anniversary -31. I'm glad I didn't bother forking out for that version. Edited January 16, 2018 by kajnrig Quote
NZEOD Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 weird... especially with the Bandai one just released. Getting this one Quote
KOG Water Dragon Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Cool. Just want I wanted. Totally don't need a Hasegawa VF-31F, VF-31S, or VF-31E. I kid. Kinda. Hasegawa will get to those others eventually. I hope. Quote
