Good question........in fact it is the only VF-1 we have never seen a prototype for.....as for everything else, we also have not seen a prototype for the Q-Rau (TV and DYRL) and N-Ger (TV)...everything else is just a matter of repaints....and maybe the Regult Scout, but would that just be a matter of some new plastic add-on pieces? And if you want to start wish listing again....there's the VF-X-4....and other's like the Star Goose, Lancer II, Gnerl and Rabbit... (some are already available via EXO)....

There is hardly anything on ebay you should feel bad about losing out on since 99% of the time you could have bought it off YJA if you really wanted it.......buying off ebay usually means you are supporting a POS scalper as Fortress has stated... I have never seen a cel on one of the dealer sites that hasn't sat on the site collecting digital dust before someone finally bends over for it....so basically Anime Link.... So basically, the scenario that is worse is losing a cel via YJA......if there is any shill bidding going on at YJA it never really goes beyond what the cel is really worth....shill bidders don't want to get stuck with something they really do not want so they drop off before the real bidding starts.... I have to say the biggest problem on YJA cel auctions is urbantreasurehunter....the guy bids on everything.....but if it is something you really want, he will usually back off as he has to make a profit out of the purchase/sale......but he does make the sale go higher than it would sometimes....so that would be the closest thing to a shill bidder, although I think the definition of a shill bidder is one that is either the seller himself or a buddy artificially making the price go higher with no intention of actually being the high bidder....

So based on transgoogling...these two squadrons...the Pythons and the Iron Chiefs....were stationed aboard 2 ARMD's that were part of the Megaroad-01 colonization fleet that are now lost forever....

There are not that many cel dealer sites to track anymore these days anyway...can be done with just a few website links

Still getting at least one....still want to see how the KC 1/72 VF-1 turns out...

I hope they offer a standard light grey version....it's the only color I'd buy for mine. I have a feeling he'll make several color matched to some of the VF's like the Max and Millia -1J's and -1A CF.

This site has some good info... http://www.animanga.com/cels/info/cels.html

Actually...I just remembered that Arcadia did pay Tenjin to grace the box cover to their 30th Anniversary 'tuxedo" valk.... In doing so Arcadia apparently depleted their "awesome boxart" budget for the last 5 years......sadly, I am thinking they have been scraping some savings from all the PF sales and will probably pay him again for the upcoming 35th anniversary "shelf warmer".... What better way to celebrate such a great franchise than by releasing a collectible no one wants with pretty boxart!

Nice....new squadron insignias....

It took a while but we finally have Macross toys that look pretty close to the awesome illustrations printed on the boxes!

Hopefully this one will include his Macross the First works...

You can donate part of it.....it'll grow back! Assuming you started with a healthy liver!

Agreed on the finicky ordinance.....actually....just the ordinance that attaches to the side....more specifically the sidewinders.....the phoenix missiles attach well enough.

Thanks..... There is a cool M0 F-14 custom on ebay.....I'd get it but got the SDCC F-14 D type instead.... https://m.ebay.com/itm/Macross-Zero-1-72-Die-Cast-Metal-F-14-Custom-Calibre-Wings-Model/323343838015?hash=item4b48cb6b3f:g:aZ4AAOSwYXBbRdjq

We might get those Macross the First character illustrations and lineart afterall.... https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4041065062?ie=UTF8&camp=1207&creative=8411&creativeASIN=4041065062&linkCode=shr&tag=00-11-22-11-00-22&

Picked up a TSM Wing Collection carrier deck and some of their accessories.....plus a Calibre Wings F-14 "Fokker S type"...

Cool...PO'd via Amazon.jp!

Keep 'em turned off....turn them on the day after Thanksgiving!

yes....also in 1/60

I wouldn't worry about that....we have an sh9000

Says this about them.... As for the neck to the body part, Kids Logic added the details of the parts in order to make the large proportion of the finished product, such as the metal pressure tube of the neck, and the neck of the original VF-1 series is just a cylinder. Although it is not loyal to the original, but the reporter will look at the BANDAI design of the upstairs FORMANIA bust series, the designer will also enter the details in his own style, which is not uncommon. In addition, there are praises, I appreciate the small armor on the chest, but such a large spoiler failed to open to see the details, a pity.
