It's the exact same mold as the recently reissued Alto 29, so it'll have all the same problems/fixes. It would be bizarre even for Bandai to switch back to a 10+ year old mold after spending the time and money to update it.

 

I didn't follow the reissue Alto 29.  Is there a summary of the issues somewhere?

[blackconvoy_D01]

BBTS Customer Service says the PO should be up soon. Between now and Tuesday I surmise.

I was just about to ask that very question! Thanks @blackconvoy_D01

Check out @jenius blog on Scorch Earth Toys under the 29 Durandal section. There’s an update to Alto’s 1.5 29 Full Set with pics.

He's a good pilot according to rumors. Not sure about the divorce. From what I know is that both are married to their professions instead.

any shop start booking yet?

Did you read @blackconvoy_D01's  write up near the top of this page @Jumbo?

It might be on Monday that we see local listings of it showing up mirroring the MWW Blue 25 if it does. The Japanese stores just had it late last night/early this morning (depending in whick time zones that your resending now) and it went fairly well except for AmiAmi as it was a lottery thing. 

No local istings of the MWW DX Max 29 Full Set as of now.

thank you 

sorry i can't see the one u mention

What else should I toss in the ring this time @no3Ljm?  The boxfull of Durians didn't work out during the pre-order madness as I guess that eveyone just blocked out the stench. Maybe multiple huge vats of Stinky Tofu might do the job? 🤣

Looks like a couple others already answered your question. Overall the updates to the 29 were pretty minor, much like the renewal 27 was only a slight tweaking of the original mold. The most noticeable difference is the matte finish, which really improves the look versus the old glossy finish, which just made it look really cheap.

You're familiar with Balut?

 

[borgified]

I am familiar with Balut @no3Ljm. My ex-girlfriend’s younger sister introduced me to it. 

Its either you like it or your turned off at the sight of it.

Lol. 

[borgified]

Oh @davidwhangchoi… 

Seems like an early onset of early Alzheimer’s and a hint of totally fried brain cells. I guess that the rest of us here should take over your Macross collection and split it.

The more I look at the toy the more it looks like Michaels Valkyries instead of Max‘. The white stripe running up the middle of the legs throw me off.

I wish the nose was a full white. There's something about that color difference that I like (ie: Ozma's 29).

Same here. That's one of my initial reaction when they showed this. Like, given that blue is more "Max", but for some reason seeing this blue in this Valk design tends to remind you of "Michael" instead.

Now, imagine if we slapped those Max markings on Perceval instead and add Super Parts this time around, I wonder what's the fans reaction is going to be? Max in a stealthy blue color YF-29.

It is either not enough or too much blue to be Max‘ Valkyrie.

That's why they need to release DX Super VF-1A Hikaru. That's already two upcoming blue Valks. 

 

 

I know, I know. I'm just stretching on Hikaru's VF-1A. I just want to be done with DX VF-1. 

[Scyla]

I wonder if we will get a Milia YF-29. But you could probably use Alto’s YF-29 as a stand in.

The question if so, how would Milia's 29 stand out more than with Alto's 29 ?   

Edit: I actually want to see the comparisons with Max's Full 29 with RB's 29 and Micheal's 25 if anyone has time upon getting it.

Same here out of curiosity since I don't have Michael's 25 and I didn't PO Max's 29. But I have a feeling that RB's 29 is going to stand out more compared to the other two.

Who the hell is RB?

Rod Baltmer from Macross 30. YF-29b Perceval pilot.

Banana Antennas FTW! It what helps transcends "Voices across the Galaxy".

Or should we rename RB's 29: The Banana Split Valk from now on due to the ears? 🤣

Maybe a shade of red that goes more into the Fire Valkyrie direction. Or more pinkish like Mirages VF-31.
