Arcadia's shelf-warming, gold-trimmed VF-19 Kai has nothing on the bling Takatoku rolled with back in the day!

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?
-
The more you have to ship...the better fedex's rates get...EMS starts lower though, but gets more expensive quickly as you add more items

Arcadia 1/60 VF-19 Kai "Golden Edition".....Unopened....25000 JPY (before proxy fees and shipping costs) http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h193414984 Still too much?
-
probably just as much as the YF-19....
-
Based on how often I've seen it offered on auction...I would say it is the rarer of the 2 Shogakukan Video promo posters I am aware of...this is the second one....
-
Think that is 20% off MSRP with the Japanese tax included...good if you live in Japan I guess... I'll wait for HLJ...then rebuy them if they do the Black Friday deal....
-
HLJ Black Friday discount was closer to 20%...at least on the YF-19...thus 300 USD for the VF-0D with the Black Friday discount and current dollar strength against the yen....who knows maybe the Japanese economy will be even weaker come end of November...of course, that could also doom Arcadia.....
-
Macross DYRL promo poster from Shogakukan Video....
-
...under 300 USD plus shipping with the Black Friday discount......in HLJ and a strong US dollar we should trust!
