I am personally trying to decide if I want the Hayate one with the fold projector or the new Hayate AX one. The shape of the planes looks pretty different to me like W-shape vs a diamond shape and since this AX, the diamond shaped one, is like the previously released Kairos I guess I was wondering is if people prefer one style of design over the other since the older Kairos has been out in the wild. I guess the transformation of each is pretty similar and the different wing shape is just throwing me off. No worries. I was also trying to see if I understand it correctly. To answer your question, I think there’s a big group of members here that liked the delta winged plane instead of an inverted one (W) like YF-19/VF-31. There’s also a big group of members here that preferred that low-visibility look of the 31A. Even if I didn’t PO Hayate’s 31AX, I actually prefer that color scheme over his previous 31J. Which in turn I also prefer his 31J Kai scheme over the 31J. If you like the blue and black scheme and delta wings, then I suggest you go with the new 31AX. Unless you like the old 31 design with its inverted wings, then I suggest you get the 31J Kai. But just so you know that the Fold Projection was just offered in the recent re-released of the original 31J if you’re also after that as well. Hope that helps you decide which one to pick.

All of these talk abt stands and me noticing bandai's new mic-stands. Make that mic stand arm transparent, add a macross kite in the middle so it seems to be floating, and then mount a valk above it!! sigh...wouldnt think anyone here would attempt it in 3D print eh..

(AX has flip out arm covers that the others don’t.) So it’s pretty much personal preference. Quote

Master Dex Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 Ok, thanks. Can be hard going through missed pages in these threads. Right when I'm out of town too.. will have to see what I can do once it's shipped I guess. Quote

I didn't PO Hayate's 31AX but atleast I can get to see everyone's purchase first so I know what to expect on my Mirage's 31AX PO. Quote
Master Dex Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 Lol, I did both cause I have no control. But I never got a Hayate or Mirage in the first series (I have a 31F Messer and the 31A) so there's that. The real problem is I need more display space. Also Max's 29 is gonna tempt me. Might sell something lol. Quote

wm cheng Posted December 16, 2021 Posted December 16, 2021 Will they finish up issuing the super packs for the older VF-31 (I want Chuck's) or have they moved on and only doing the movie stuff now? Quote

Sad to say it looks like it’s going to take awhile or never for them to finish or release Chuck’s and Arad’s Supers. It’s the first time I completed a squadron and it’s incomplete without the other 2 Supers. Quote

It’s the first time I completed a squadron and it’s incomplete without the other 2 Supers. Yeah, sad to say it's probably just never happening. I bit the bullet and bought some lower-priced second-hand Hayate and Messer supers to use on those two. If I'd been thinking more clearly, I would have looked for Mirage's so I got extra reaction missiles with them, but Messer's and Hayate's would probably be less work to cover if I decide to repaint them.

Lolicon Posted December 16, 2021 Posted December 16, 2021 Bandai continuing its long tradition of never finishing a lineup. Quote
wm cheng Posted December 17, 2021 Posted December 17, 2021 Damn, I didn't want this until I saw the packs... Quote

I didn't PO the Valk, but I'll probably PO the Super Packs just in case I will be able to get the Valk later.

That is, assuming that Bandai is going to release Arad's new Supers since they haven't release his old Supers. Quote
Rein+ Posted December 19, 2021 Posted December 19, 2021 So... question about this P-Bandai TWE releases maybe this has been answered before, at which site i can order them? Quote
chriswoo Posted December 19, 2021 Posted December 19, 2021 seem the pack is compatible with the rest of the vf 31. Quote

chriswoo Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 I was thinking the same thing however time will tell once it release Quote
Sandman Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 Just realized i usually get the twe super releases from nippon-yassen. Going to need to find an alternative. Quote
HayateAltoHunter Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Release is just a few days away….surprised i haven’t seen any unboxings or package details in my Twitter feed yet… Quote
