[star]

Pre-ordered the Arnval MK2 from AmiAmi maybe a month ago. They're a bit cheaper than HLJ. Still up for pre-order too!

And it's not long now until they're released Can't wait.

good thing i already have preordered these 2... but my wallet is going to take a HUGE blow where the sun doesnt shine...

(precisely at my worst time of the year... economically speaking)

*after about 5 minutes of muttering unspeakable things under my breath in jellousy that i cant afford these* why are these 2 so cool? i love there extra parts, thats what konami should do to come out with battle master mk2, since these extra parts are there, and applied to the original mk2s, they should give out the extra parts in the original color for the original mk2s, and then sell the original mk2s at konamistyle, theyed make more money selling them seperate and then i could have the parts for mine without haveing doubles

[Pyaamon]

But their point, Star, is to make more money by people doubling up on the ones they already have. Konami's been making extra parts for the re-releases for a while - look at Ach and Yda. It's only this time around that they've put extra parts with the 'standard' release instead of the special.

The original MKIIs were released with a game and in a set; they're the updated versions of what could be the signature two. Tempesta and Ravina are probably the most expensive standard shinkis we've seen, Konami is taking a gamble with them as their...what's the word...target market(?) in Japan already paid through the nose for the original editions to sell them they need those extra bits.

Also, maybe, as they've noticed the update in proxies of late, are looking at the Western market and throwing us a bone. Y'know. Maybe.

I've only ordered Tempesta; I don't like the school-girl look of Ravina with her brown loafers. I've been putting money away just in case in my paypal account. Zen's been getting lonely being the only 'black' Arnval.

Yes, typically we know about shinkis months before they're released, so saving up for them isn't too difficult. If you pay attention to all the news threads it's relatively easy to stay on top of everything, preorder your shinkis and have the money set aside for their release. =)

I don't have the originals of these. So what exactly are the extra parts?
