Finally! Gonna get one for sure. But all this usual talk of getting multiples has me thinking... :lol:

I knew that money I saved from canceling my YF-21 preorder would eventually go to Bandai anyway -_-

Sounds like already justified. :good: :lol:

I could never justify the Renewal Armor Parts at the aftermarket prices, & came close to pulling trigger on the v1 Armored set just to have a set & to display in Fighter mode. I'll get this Revival for sure but the v1 option is still on the table for me as a second set for static mode display.

Same. Renewal prices were insane and I couldn't justify the inflated cost. I actually owned the v1 twice, waaay back. Sold it twice too, lol.

Hmmm... When I first posted, I thought this was Ozma with super parts... But it's actually with the armour, which I'm not too fund as those huge armour pants kill it in Battroid...

Great news!!! But such a bad timing for me, for I'd just decided to unload an Alto armour set thinking it'd be a highly valued item... I guess I'll be selling it for cheaper now 😆

If anyone's interested...

I'm wondering for those who have multiples of the Renewals, are you still planning on getting multiples of Revivals as well?

i'm skipping them for now and going to focus on dx vf-1 lineup 

 

i imagine the ozma super packs are going to be rare now.

Wooooo!  Been waiting for this for a decade or something now.  I wasn't able to get in on the original release or the subsequent reissue variants.  Outside of the original series, Frontier has some of my favorite mech designs in the Macross universe.

It's a happy surprise. Not as happy as I first was when the renewal versions came out, but still a happy surprise. I guess now with the couple sets of armor packs I have, I can get rid of one of them and maybe customize the other.

DX VF-1 lineup of? TV or DYRL? Also, I'm not sure when Bandai is planning on completing it. I only needed Hikaru Super VF-1A and then I'm closing shop for DX 1/48. :cray:

all VF-1's. 

You should buy 'em all

I might get a ozma if I get a bigger place.

Sad to say I can't, David. Running out of space now. I'm actually starting throwing out boxes. I'm currently staring on my PBM Kaneda's Bike's Box. I already threw out Kaneda's and Tetsuo's Box last month and some of my Yamato box. Who knows, once I get rid of the boxes, I'll find space to buy the rest of the VF-1's. :lol: 

But then, I really only want Hikaru's for now. :rolleyes:

At this point, I'm happy that my wife let me display as much as I can to fill a nook. But more than that, I'll probably wait until my son goes off to college in a few years so I can occupy his room for my toys. Pew pew and swoosh swoosh. :lol:

I imagine so, but if it's going the P-Bandai route, that might complicate things.  I'm not sure who will carry it.

I did just grab one at Big In Japan though, they've been a solid site for me in the past, came to about $330 shipped.  The exchange rate is really helping. :lol:

In the Tamashii page, when one lists condition by DX Chogokin, the VF-25S Revival shows up no matter what location one sets the page at:

VF-25SP-Bandaishopinfo.jpg.3d9c6da0c19e00c2352ebaa3c8b9a182.jpg

 

If one sets the page to Japan, then the other P-Bandai VF-1 shows up:

TWE and less than a day's notice to order something that will probably be very popular? That's a real gut punch, Bandai.

Sincerely glad for this community. I hadn't checked the TWE page today and might have missed the announcement. Just submitted a purchase request to my usual proxy service. Hope they can grab one!

Well my go-to proxy for years has stopped accepting purchase requests at P-Bandai. There isn't really great proxy choices left & now likely have to buy from one of the JP stores.

That seems to be the best option right now. All said and done, the price my proxy charged me was $10 more than AE's price. The upside is that I was able to place my order early last night and sleep through PO Madness at 1am. I do wonder if this will show up on P-Bandai sites in other regions and, if so, if it will follow the pattern we're seeing for other WWM items where Bandai jacks up the price by a ridiculous amount.

Sheesh, that would have been the best option if anyone would have announced when those were going up.  Stupid ninja listings. <_< 

Just one is probably plenty though, I just like having a backup in case Bandai does a Bandai.

Might have to just wait this one out, since they basically just flipped off the customers and made it an international webshop release.  It'll probably show up down the road at various places like the HMR Max VF-0S.

I'm really curious to see if this is an actual international web shop release (something we haven't seen before) or just a website error that is confusing everyone. I pulled the trigger on a Japan-based purchase for now, just to be sure I get one. I really want Bandai to be less mercurial and just tell us in plain language what the heck they're doing.

Previously the chrome VF-1J was the same. It stated both Asia and US area as well. Couple days later it was changed back to just JP. I didn't want to take the risk, so I just bought from yoyaku

That's the same reason I did it. I don't trust Bandai.

With the exchange rate and shipping times, it makes sense to grab from Japan when you can. If it's not SDF Macross or DYRL, it should be a worldwide release. It will be curious to see how the first WWM TWE item goes... (if it goes at all).
