Update: Over-Drive announced today (9/19/2009)that they have received already their stock of Alto’s Armoured Pack and have started shipping them out. Since they are on Silver Week Holiday they will probably finish by next week.
Update: Pre-ordering seems to have stopped at Over-Drive-Inc.
Update: just found out that you can pre-order the VF-25 Messiah Armored at Over Drive Inc for $110 (shipping not included). You are going to have to pay upfront though then wait for the release in September or even longer if Bandai pushes out the release date.
Just saw this on the Tamashii site, an announcement for the Alto Saotome version of the VF-25 Messiah Armored Pack. Supposed to be that there is no definite date of release, so I’m not sure why the order form says that it will be available by October 2009. It will cost around Y6,500 yen (VF-25 Messiah not included, omochiron!).
Update:Waah!, its even cheaper at Amiami, pre-ordering at Y4,030. Too bad they don’t sell overseas. They do now!, check out Amiami’s English language site.
Update: HLJ has the VF-27 up for pre-order already! It will sell for Y5,225 if you pre-order it before Sept 18,2009 then it reverts back to its SRP of Y5500.
Update: Looks like the 1/72 VF-27 Lucifer could well be available by November of 2009 according to this.
Over at the Hobbystock Blog saw this article on their coverage of the 2009 Shizuoka Hobby Show. Its a 1/72 Scale Quadlun Rea used by Clan Clan in the Macross Frontier Series. Supposed to be released by Bandai in June but no price yet given.
Update: Announced today (09/24/2009) that its available for order already at Hobby Search for Y7,125. You can get it also at HLJ. Be sure to check out the detailed figure and box shots at Hobby Search to help you decide on your purchase.
Whoa, Bandai / Tamashii just showcased a figure wearing Ex-Gear. Not sure but it sure looks like Alto Saotome who’s wearing the Ex-Gear. They displayed this in their booth at the Shizuoka Hobby show. Based from the literature, this is part of the Armor Plus series.
Here’s an interesting factoid I found out last week. I learned this while watching an episode of Genesis Climber Mospeada. As I was watching the Rainy Boy Episode I noticed that the voice of the main antagonist sounded familiar. True enough when I checked with Show Hayami’s file, there it was.
