500-600 = Market rate

390 = Friend rate

Kinda prefer the colors on the A over the AX. I want grey. I need grey. Give me all the grey.

I agree!

I would go ape over DX versions of the Yamato low viz (woodland, urban, and stealth).

Something to look forward to for DX VF-31AX figures. Post from @borgified.

[weiser21]

I hope Bandai starts selling them in the US by the time they come out. I missed out on Hayate's 31AX, got cart jacked.

@Gerli's post in the Zettai Live thread:

 

If ever some of this will be available in DX form, I'll probably only get Arad's AX and its Super Pack if ever, and 31A's Armored Pack. 

 

But then, Bandai should RELEASE Arad's, Chuck's, and Kairos' TV Super Parts first.

Haha here we go again.....only getting one...or two...or....dang! Top of my head...Arad (for stealth colors), 06 (for 31A head), 31A armor pack (stealth colors, tho hayate's blue pack is nice with that orange splash) ...if am getting any...😅

speculation on bandai release...we have 31AX hayate, so prob mirage next, followed by the 06, chuck and arad last (as p-bandai 😅)

throw in armor pack in between somewhere...

wonder what is the 06 alphabet designation... 

[aurance]

I’m digging the Arad model.

Hahaha! Ofcourse!  Coz I'm not planning on completing the squad this time around so I'll just focus on Arad's.  

Btw, what do you mean by alphabet designation for 06? Do you mean like Delta 01, Delta 02, and so on? Or if it's the model designation like 31S, 31J, 31A, etc., for some reason this time around they were all designated as 31AX.

Apologies if I didn't understand it correctly.

Yea the S, J, E designations...so arad would probably be 31AXS...and chuck would be 31AXE! Maybe they haven’t officially updated it yet..?

Got it. But then, they already labeled Hayate's latest DX figure as VF-31AX Kairos Plus (Hayate Immelman Unit), right? So I doubt that they will change it down the line and call it VF-31AXJ upon release?

Oh yea they did hayate’s. But hayates head unit is basically the same as the A(oops take that back...it’s not), so I might thk that to be ok, similar for chuck and the 06? Arad’s and mirages head forms however are different...maybe they did decide to drop alphabet designations but if so it’s a pity...cos that’s been a trademark macross valk concept as per number of head lasers or visor shape would determine if u are the bossman or hotshot pilot or merely an observer(radar) ..😅😆

Agree. They did remove something unique when it comes to the Valkyries.

 

[Sokeijon]

Damn, all looking good!

[enphily]

[Scyla]

Oh boy, preorder on 10/25/21?

[David Hingtgen]

Looks even redder than the 31C.   Bandai's really doubling down on the "not gonna make her valk purple no matter it looks on the show".  

[kajnrig]

Eh, it's more of a maroon anyway. But boy oh boy am I glad I didn't go in on the Hayate. That red/maroon/purple is looking MUUUCH nicer than blue.

EDIT:

Are the heads the same? I'm really digging this head design.

Nope different head design.

[borgified]

I not surprised as no one even looks at the past posts and jumps to the most recent done. 
 

if you took the time to read past posts @kajnrig, you would know that Mirage’s 31 ax has a newer noggin. 

[kajnrig]

Fair enough, lol. Frankly, the Hayate looked similar enough at a glance that I just assumed it was the same head, and the same would hold true for all the others, and never thought to double-check. 😛

[weiser21]

I wonder if they will release this item in the US as they display Macross items at the Tamashi store in NYC?

We should have a thread about noggin designs and nothing else is allowed in there.

[borgified]

Here's a thought @sqidd. Why don't you create a thread for all the Macross valks's head sculpts page and have further discussions on it? I don't think it's made yet, however you love posting on this website right?

We already have a thread discussing Macross Mecha in the Movies and TV Series section in case you guys are interested.

 

If it's just mecha description and no discussions needed, we can browse our favorite Macross Mecha Manual. But since MMM still lacking the Delta series, we can just check Macross Wiki for it.
