Perhaps we need to define what makes a shelf-warmer....when it comes to Macross toys...I'd say a shelf-warmer is anything that manages to linger long enough to receive a steep discount (Black Friday sales not included!)....in other words, practically every Macross toy ever made by Yamato! With that said, I do not think the VF-0D will achieve that undignified status....and not because it does not deserve that status....but because these things are not being produced in the same numbers anymore thus minimizing the opportunity for it to become a shelf-warmer....now a days...it has to be almost universally reviled to achieve the shelf-warmer status....Anniversario anyone?? (up next, VF-19 Goldenrod edition?) If the VF-0D was being released by Yamato....then it'd be keeping the shelves toasty well into Christmas 2015!!!....

Cool....I recall the handcuffs, but didn't think anything of it other than it was odd and how Tyreese asked Carol to do it.....I guess I just don't remember how Andrea ended up in handcuffs in the series.... Makes sense though....fan service?
-
Any fans? Been catching up with it on Netflix.... Latest season, Freak Show, looks really creepy....
-
Probably through January 2015. Thankfully it's Arcadia not Bandai!
-
Maybe some super hot female scientist/main character for the spin-off series! Who is also a master walker killer? No....what about it? Please elaborate...
-
That is the same thing that happened with the YF-19 last year....pre-orders for it were still open when the Black Friday sale hit......thus why several folks pre-ordered again and dumped their higher-priced YF-19 pre-orders.... The Black Friday sale price did not automatically adjust the price of existing pre-orders in your cart...thus why you need to pre-order again and dump the older higher-priced stuff....
-
...Or just wait and pay the same price for a brand new one next year with "option parts" and a baby pod...maybe even a baby Komila fig to fit inside?
-
I'll pick these up "for my kids".... But, yeah, no one else is even considering making a product like this so whoever wants one will need to dance with the devil..... In the meantime, I hope to be able to get the Fisher-Price SDF-1 in time for my kid's B-Day!.....An SDF-1 plushie would be nice too!!!
-
Good News: HLJ said the Black Friday Sale is a go! Bad News: Still cannot say for certain whether the VF-0D or other PT valks will be included Pretty sure they will though.....so be prepared!!!
-
Arcadia's shelf-warming, gold-trimmed VF-19 Kai has nothing on the bling Takatoku rolled with back in the day!

Kind of poster-ish....DYRL promotional flyer....

The only thing that may get boring is any flashbacks to the Terminus folks before they became cannibals....I really don't care....but you know it's coming since some of them got away.....I forgot the dude's name, but I'm guessing he will want to avenge momma...... I'm guessing there are folks out there that "deal" with Terminus in order to not be on the menu, by offering "tribute" in the form of "fresh meat"......like that gang Daryl was hanging with at the end of season 4, they seemed to have known better than to head into terminus.....guessing Beth maybe with some of those Terminus "allies"...... Cast is pretty bloated.....I expect several losses in the coming weeks...... dead pool....Carol, Bob, Sasha, Rosita, and Tara...all dead before Season 5 is over.....with Carol being the "shocking" death at the end...and not necessarily at the hands of a walker!!! Survivors.....The Grimes family, plus Michonne, Darryl, Beth, Tyreese, Glenn, Maggie, Eugene*, and Abraham * If the revelation about the "cure" is true....and is carried over into the spin-off show as a major plot point.....Eugene may become expendable after he makes "contact" with his peers on the other side of the world.....assuming the TV show is completely departing from the comic in terms of the virus and the potential to "end it".... It started comical...but now I wouldn't have it any other way....guy is just bad ass!!!
-
Finally found volume 2 of the 3 volume set of kids hardboard books......set is now complete........I hope
-
heheh....buy us...OR DIE!!!!!!!
-
I think the only way to see the return of sub-300 dollar Macross PT toys is to try and support this release.....a healthy infusion of profits for 3P companies dabbling in Macross product may entice more Macross releases in the future from other 3P companies....
-
If Arcadia just decides to release VF-0 product for the next 3 years....I think we would need to add "bankruptcy" sometime in-between those dates....
-
I'm guessing it would take more than 10 years to convince you of letting go of the SDF-1 cels...
-
The Arcadia YF-19 was included last year and the Black Friday discount was about 19% off of MSRP....no reason to not expect the same deal for the VF-0D....dollar is stronger this year so it can only make it the Best Black Friday Ever!!! I should just ask HLJ....
-
Nope. Cancel anytime before you are billed. Their "no-hassle" cancellation policy is what helped many folks here dump their original YF-19 PO's so they can re-PO at the Black Friday price. And I am hoping it will be repeated again this coming Black Friday!!!
-
Oh...and it was also used here....In the Macross kids hardboard book Volume 2 which I recently acquired....haven't posted pics yet of it....so here is one preview pic....
-
That is awesome...and I always look forward to seeing it brought out of your vaults for the MWCon....I did not see any pics of it from this year's con though....did you bring it out? Anyway, I always thought they were made specifically for the model kit box graphics.....like the Spartan that I have in my collection....but I guess they were multi-purposed! Someday I'll haul out my stash to the MWCon....someday...... BTW, I think you have this one too...
-
It's not the damage that occurs after leaving the retailer that should concern folks when dealing with overseas retailers (insurance covers you for that).....it's the damage to the item present right out of the factory and the online retailer's policies about helping (OR NOT) their customers outside Japan that should be thoroughly researched....
-
I would have to see both next to each other to decide. If they were both visually identical....I'd probably pass. I'd rather have something entirely new from Arcadia. Like a TV SDF-1!!! So if the visual differences were like those between a 1/60 Yamato YF-19 and an Arcadia YF-19.....yes, I'd buy an Arcadia VF-0A and S. If the differences were internal and not readily visible when displayed next to each other...then I most likely would not buy Arcadia versions.
-
Thanks for the update!
-
BTW...you don't need to commit to a shipping method when you place a PO on HLJ...just add to your cart and submit w/o selecting the shipping method..... IIRC, NY requires that you select a shipping method before placing the PO...unless that changed?
