Dobber Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Holy Crap! Are TV Storm Attacker kits hard to find now, and the ones that are available are ridiculously expensive. Especially, if you want to just use it for just a few parts. I’m guessing, despite someone saying they would make or recast the new parts, it was never done? Chris Quote

TMBounty_Hunter Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Honestly I just want them to release those decals separately so that I can use them on the Aoshima VFGs.... In other news https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10626406 Quote

KOG Water Dragon Posted July 9, 2019 Author Posted July 9, 2019 Finally! Main set just about complete. Just need Walkure VF-31E and VF-31S for that set to be complete too. And I'm sure they are coming. Too bad Bandai never did the VF-31E... Quote

Yes that is what I mean. I don't collect VFs in anything but 1/72 or 1/48. They skipped the VF-31E (and A) in the 1/72 transformable series and that bums me out. Quote
kajnrig Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Wow, the -31S hasn't come out yet? I could've sworn it already did... But man alive, that Kaname box art looks so frakking gorgeous. Quote
Dobber Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Question as I never watched Delta (heard too many bad things about it) How is the 31’s name pronounced? Is it like it looks or with a Germanic like pronunciation? Or is the spelling an “Engrish” thing? Chris Edited July 11, 2019 by Dobber Quote
electric indigo Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) The correct german pronunciation would be something like "Zeekfreet". Edited July 11, 2019 by electric indigo Quote

Dobber Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Oh crap that’s right it’s the Segfreid (spelling) Then what’s with the Walkure stuff written on the colorful 31’s. That’s what I was asking about....Walkure pronunciation. Germanic or Engrish? Also, what’s with the girls associated with each 31. Are they the pilots or something else? Are these colorful 31’s something like Macross 7’s Fire bomber? Chris Edited July 12, 2019 by Dobber Quote
kajnrig Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 In the opening episode, each member of the idol group Walkure is escorted by a corresponding member of Delta Squadron, with each member of Delta having a unique variant of the VF-31. This ostensibly carries on through the rest of the show, but it doesn't ever really come up again. The colorful kits reflect this relationship. So the Kaname-themed VF is a VF-31F, the Makina one is a VF-31C, and presumably a Mikumo/Reina/Freyja one would be a VF-31S/E/J, respectively. Quote

I really don't like those oversaturated artwork in a fighter plane/robot. Give more new molds (vf-17S), more 1/48 kits (vf-21, vf-11) to complete M+ for example. No more Delta stuff please!!!! Quote
KOG Water Dragon Posted July 12, 2019 Author Posted July 12, 2019 I disagree. We still need Super VF-31s from Hasegawa. More Delta please. I wouldn't mind some itasha style artwork versions as well. The cool thing about models is you can paint them however you please. Totally easy to make your own grey on grey versions if that's what you fancy. Quote

Totally easy to make your own grey on grey versions if that's what you fancy. Agree and agree... I'd be OK with new stuff from Delta: supers, armored, etc., etc., but I'd be also great to see a departure from the -31 and the Sv-262 stuff, and see some focus put on fresh out-of-CAD products (i.e. VF-171s, -17s, -29, armored -25s, tornadoed -25s, etc., etc.). Just my 2 personal cents... Quote
Bolt Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 Considering the new Delta movie that’s going to be coming, expect more Delta variations. Though not all will be 31-Siegfried’s.. 262 variants and Kairos variants and hopefully some surprises.. Quote

Just my 2 personal cents... I'd be very happy with VF-17, VF-171, Armored VF-1, Armored VF-25, Armored VF-31... and 1/48 versions of YF-21, VF-11, even VF-25 and VF-31. Sadly I don't think those are very likely right now. My big big dream is Hasegawa VF-2SS, but that's even less likely. Quote
kajnrig Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 Hey, was there a re-issue announcement for the YF-19 25th Anniversary Color kit? HLJ has them on backorder right now, and I placed an order, though I don't know if they've just marked it at that status because of all the other re-issues lately. I didn't see anything on the Hasegawa calendars, but I may have missed it. Quote

Actually it's also from the opening animation from the Walkure 3rd Live concert where the girls are walking to custom 31s of which they are aligned to each depending on their roles/relationships. Relationships explain Freya to the 31J (Hayate's) and Kaname to the 31F (Messer's) while role adds to (most likely) Mikumo for the 31S (Arad being the leader) and Reina to the 31E (being the groups electronic expert) with Makina either being the fill in or just attaching both best girl of the idol group and pilot groups, that being Mirage so the 31C. Quote
Dobber Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 So is Walkure supposed to be pronounced like Valkyrie, vALLk-your-ie, vALLk-your, or WALK-your-ie? Just curious why the change of spelling or the possible Germanic influence. Chris Quote

Ah yes, completely forgot about that. That's where the Valks were actually colored as they are on these special color kits, right? Quote
