Ooo... VF-1S color scheme.
Look kinda nice. :finger:

But between VF-25G and this, most probably i will get VF-25G and skip this.
Yet still need to depend if XL able to bring in stock.
If XL can get both, might skip YF-29.
If XL can get either one only, then that one will be the one i get.
:lol:

Me too. VF-25G takes priority if both are available. If no -25G, then I'll get the VF-29.

Every 3 months 1 chogokin is so high burden... Probably I will skip VF-25G renewal version and go for this special edition. I already got VF-25G tornado version at home. Anyway, still have to see the budget

You're lucky you don't have to make such a hard decision, bro. For me, if I don;t buy the VF-25G now, I'll have to wait for a "maybe will, maybe won't" re-release.

I hope Uncle will be able to bring in. It will give us a chance to decide whether to buy or not. Also, decision making has to be in 1 day... you look at VF-171EX you already know. In 24 hours I think all are booked

Worst thing is that we can't PO.

Uncle don't want to come to the same situation where ppl booked but at the end cannot get. I also furious previously where i could not get my hands on VF-25S. Anyway, YF-29 special edition, the famous online hobby website already closed reservation. I guess it might be the same fate like the rest of the DX chogokins. Just hope uncle can bring this in. I hoping for re-release of both VF-25F and VF-25S. I wanted both so I can armor them with armor parts.

Yeah, bro, I understand why Uncle didn't open for PO.

Mostly I just blame the idiots at Bandai for not providing enough stock overseas. Know what pisses me off the most? The local Japanese shops are OVERFLOWING with DX Chogokins right now. Here we have to resort to buying from ebay with goreng prices. But in Japan, you can simply walk into any shop and come out with five VF-25's if you want.

Even the Americans are having a massively hard time getting stock.

My Japanese is not very good either, but the promo poster only tells us what we already know.

It's a commemorative repaint of the VF-29 Durandal inspired by Roy Fokker's VF-1. It's a so-called collaboration between the original color scheme and the latest Valkyrie design.

They calling it a "memorial item."

If Bandai thinking of selling DX Chogokin in JP only, then might as well dont export to outside JP. It is really disappointing to hear such info. I really was looking forward to collect the whole set of Macross Frointer chogokins but due Bandai, I am not able to do so. As stated earlier, I won't go for goreng price. I rather not owning it then paying such unbelievable price.

Anyway, both armor parts for Ozma and Alto is releasing end of this month. Still thinking of buying it but major issue is that i dont have VF-25S. I hope Bandai will learn their lesson. If you want to make money then make more so all the fans can own it "sumpah"

I agree, bro. These Bandai flers just don't seem to care for overseas markets. They just try to make sure their local market is satisfied, and any extra money they earn from other countries is just a bonus for them.

I don't know whether they are stupid or just ignorant, but they seem to have absolutely no idea how much money they can make from overseas compared to locally.

At least Yamato is slightly better in terms of supply, although now their stuff is getting expensive due to their shifting production to a better (and more expensive) factory in China.

Conclusion is that we should not place high hopes on it. At least won't so painful when the stock is not enough.

True, bro. Less expectation, less disappointment.
