xrentonx Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I picked up that Super Slyph a few days ago when I saw it. Been lookin all over for one at a good price too Quote
Loop Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Placed an order for one of each @ HLJ. I missed out on these the first time around, glad I resisted the aftermarket this long. Quote

Kanedas Bike Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Can't wait to actually have these in my hands, I owned the FFR-31MR for years but never opened the box and ended up selling it MISB. I do wish that they were just a tad larger, but the amount of detail and accessories help make up for that minor nitpick. -b. Quote
Dobber Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 I passed on them the first time around due to the scale and price, and grew to regret it too. I'm very excited for these now and the shouldn't be too small either as they are fairly large aircraft particularly the FFR-31MR. Life would be complete if the would make a FFR-31 Sylphid as well.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 i just brought the anime legends dvd complete collection and going to watch it. then my pre-orders will make sense and justify itself. Quote

Chris Don't get me wrong, they're a decent enough size that you can appreciate the details and the aircraft, but my lasting impression when admiring thru the box was "dang, that's a small scale completed model". But then again, I could also be spoiled by the size of our various Valkyries. -b. Quote

Dobber Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 So any idea/indication of when the Alter 1/100 rereleases will be coming out? Where the initial releases delayed? I'm just very excited to get these little beauties. Chris Quote

I'm just very excited to get these little beauties. Chris I thought I saw somewhere stating 8/31. Sorry, and no offense to Dobber or anyone else chomping at the bit to get these. But Alter please DELAY THESE THINGS AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. Too much stuff on pre-order. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ My eyes are definitely bigger than my wallet. -b. Quote

I sold a bunch of stuff over the summer and have nice tidy PayPal balance waiting to pay for these things! Lol! Chris Quote

Chris Well, it looks like we'll be waiting a bit longer. I just got an email from AmiAmi stating the release date has changed. They show as "Late 2014" now. -b. Quote
Dobber Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 CRAP!! Thanks for the heads up though. Chris Quote
wmkjr Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Crap don't tell me late as in VF-25S release date late! Quote
electric indigo Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Endless waits are actually an essential part of the franchise... Quote
Dobber Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Endless waits are actually an essential part of the franchise...Ha ha no kidding! I remember the LONG wait for the Platz 1/72 Sylphid kit! ......shudders.....Chris Quote
Roy's Blues Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 payment request from HLJ came in today for the FFR-31MR/D Super Sylph Yukikaze. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Got the same from Amiami ditto -b. Quote
slaginpit Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 got my payment request for the 3 I pre-ordered http://cybertronphils.proboards.com/thread/9039 Quote
Roy's Blues Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Anyone have any news on the Mave release date? I want both to ship from HLJ at the same time. Quote
Dobber Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Has anyone heard of a release date for the Alter Mave Yukikaze rerelease? The FFR-31 released only a month late but the Mave keeps getting later and later. Chris Quote

Chris Nope, Hobby Search has it listed for a November release while AmiAmi still states late 2014 (also surprised that the FFR-31 is still available). -b. Quote
Loop Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 My HLJ order is now saying Dec, but I dunno... Quote
Dobber Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 The Alter Mave re-release is out! Paid for mine at HLJ and its own the way! Chris Quote

Chris They're really cool looking but for $100-$120 I was expecting more.... Or bigger or something. Its hard to stomach when you can pay $20 more and get a PT VF-25 Quote

Its hard to stomach when you can pay $20 more and get a PT VF-25 However, the attention to detail these models have, just about blows away any Valkyrie toy. I wish there was a maker out there that threw out the transformation feature and offered fighter mode Valkyries with the level of detail found in these Alter models. Quote

These things are amazingly detailed...and this is comming from an experienced model builder. Chris Quote
