The YF-29 Alto looks good.

[Raikkonen]

It does look good. Thought about getting one and painting the white to black or a light bluish grey.

Is this an add-on for the other kit or an entirely different kit?

Add on is for this kit. There is also the blue one, but I think that in the add ons for it. The red one seems to be sold separately

I thought the blue one (Max?) already come with these parts? 

[kajnrig]

Correct.

(The Isamu YF-19 is a regular release kit.)

The Alto YF-29 is an upcoming regular release kit.

The Max YF-29 + Super Pack is an upcoming regular release kit.

(The Guld YF-21 is an upcoming regular release kit.)

The Alto YF-29 Super Pack add-on is an upcoming P-Bandai kit.

So far there is no word of an Alto YF-29 + Super Pack kit, whether regular release or P-Bandai.

The blue ones are already included, the red are an extra

Is there any trustworthy site to pre-order the Max's one? I didn't even see Alto's pre-order on amiami (I usually order from them) and don't want to miss again.

The alto is pretty easy to find on U.S.sites. Haven’t seen the max without a markupthey’re really trustworthy, but big bad toy store has a high price, but not the worst I’ve seen.

That looks good.

Hopefully a VF-0 and VF-25 are around the corner.

Wait. Is this accurate for that scale? I didn’t know YF-29 towers over YF-19. Can’t imagine how a 1/100 VF-1 looks beside the Durandal.

As it happened with the YF-19, not a word from HLJ yet about this kit.

I hope I can get it before the end of the year.

[sh9000]

I would definitely buy a YF-29 Roy.

Waterslide decals sold separately. This is so Bandai...

that’s how Bandai does all their kits other than the Star Wars and a few web exclusives. At least these are released at the same time as the kit instead of a year or two later like the real grades sometimes 

[ridgebacks]

Alto's YF-29 expansion pack news is out as well:

 

 

So the reason why the pack is in P-bandai is because of the stand and unique water decal (the stand's decal is sticker).

 

Release in November.

I was content to ignore the Supers, but that stand and decals are exactly the icing I needed... Here's hoping it makes it to the US P-Bandai site as well, or better yet, a general release.

Was unaware of this. Haven't built a Bandai kit in too many years. Thanks.

I'm not a fan of those extra pods on the wings, but that stand sure is pure win.

[Convectuoso]

Was someone able to pre-order this?

My order was cancelled by two proxys

[Bolt]

Ya, the supers and blingy stand are sweet!

Alto and Max in YF-29's, what an awesome (and deadly) combo.

Oof. That's rough. I took a quick gander, and this might or might not help:

Thanks for the info. But I guess i'd just skip the whole Alto set and order Max's set. At least that one has everything thing one package.

Started putting my HG YF-29 kit together at the weekend. Just doing a simple build, no paint, no panel lining, just snap it together and slap the stickers on.

Got the battroid mode head, torso, groin arms and legs built so far.

It's actually a fun little kit to build and although the YF-29 is actually one of my least favorite Valk designs, I've gotta say the kit actually looks pretty good so far.
