Pure 100% luck. I came across a B/S/T thread on Macrossworld, in which the seller was in somewhat of a rush to sell because he's moving. He was selling the YF-30 and YF-29 (Rod Perceval colors) for a $215 bundle (that's right, TWO TRANSFORMING JETS) because he knew selling them at their actual worth would mean he'd probably never sell them. Wonderful luck for me, wonderful seller, wonderful price.
I mean... I guess it's OKAY... Spoiler IT'S ONE OF THE GREATEST TRANSFORMING JET TOYS I'VE EVER SEEN!

At least now we know it comes with a Regult and is not just an added on. But...almost double the price? Wow! Not coming until July next year though or does it mean preorders are opening soon?
Someone on MW translated...it's one Regult that comes with both missile pod styles, the regular cannons and decals for both markings. Kinda sucks actually because why do I need a bunch of extra parts and decals since after I put one set of decals on, that's what it is. Makes you have to buy two to get both looks so they might as well just released each version separately.
If the MW translation is accurate, I was thinking that they could do it like they did the VF-1 "brownie" which included parts for both the TV and DYRL Mass Production 1A. For the Regult, they could provide one base figure and include all the parts to do both types again. Including stickers seems a big course correction for Bandai too. I would be surprised if that happened. I'm more inclined to think that they will include printed parts for both types, but the proof will come when we see the final retail shots.
I had my wife try to translate and she's convinced it's two Regults, one of each type in a package deal. Seems to be the only logical conclusion given the price and actually a great deal.
