According to the link FireSkyJet posted they say, "Gun pod also has a completely new and powerful shape".
Pretty interesting overall; my concern is that there seems to be quite a bit of mass being supported on the back given the hinges for the armature that supports it. That seems to me like a potential point for it to break, or at the very least, develop some severe floppiness.
It's actually mistransformed @JackKnife as Bandai loves to do it for their product shots. I have not seen or heard of anyone here or any other Macross forum having their own copy of the 31 break apart at the hinges or get floppy yet.
Ah, gotcha. And yeah; Bandai does seem to love doing that with their stuff, even though by all rights they should know how to transform their own toys! lol
Here’s the rundown. Pre-orders for Doc. Haya Haya 31ax is listed up for grabs on Luna for now and no peep from other providers yet, so get ready. 30+ hours is the official drop so get your drinks of choice (Bushmills, Scotch, Crown Royal, Hibiki/Sunitory, Klingon Bloodwine/Romulan Ale, Spotchkia) as it’s going to be a rough ride with Websites crashes, Spinning Wheel of Death and Cart Jacking. Servers will crap out once pre-orders go live so don’t give up. Time for another round of the Drinking Game when someone posts “Cart Jacked, Spinning Wheel of Death, Website Crash”.
So does Luna Park charge at checkout or when it's ready to ship? Oddly enough I can't find a single sign of that in their FAQ or other info.

do we know what time preorder hell is expected to go down? I could have sworn it was around 3am pacific last time, but I honestly don't remember
Nope.. Early August 2nd: 1am PST or 4am EST (which I think it’s also your time zone in Ontario/Michigan/New York). Set your alarm for this one @Face or skip it.
