I know it's all a matter of opinion, but I swear, having the Fire Valk sitting next to a renewal, it's like night and day in terms of transformation. Wow, are those Yamatos amazing. I too will probably buy most of the Amato Excalibur releases. I want this one, but I gotta wait until next year when I don't have so much on preorder.

Do you have a renewal VF-25? Those are better than the 29. The 29 came before, and many of the changes in the 29 were implemented in the new renewals, and then some. Storywise, the 29 is more advanced, but the 25 renewals are probably Bandai's best. That and the 171. As far as the new Excaliburs go, they are head and shoulders above anything Yamato has done in the past. as Shin said, it really was surprising the dramatic jump in engineering.

At any rate though, it does come down to preference.
