Macross is awesome!!!

That should be interesting to see the parts on the 30th AE Valk! You gonna upload a pic for us!?

Mine arrived but sat outside overnight when the courier driver left the box next to the side door and not the front door.. The box was a little wet and soggy as it got pretty cold and damp during the night but thankfully the Arcadia box was wrapped in bubble wrap which didn't let any moister through. The delivery driver mustn't have updated the parcel as delivered when he dropped it off as it still said "in transit" but when it was updated it said dropped the day before.. So I had no idea it was still sitting there.. I had a close look at Hikaru's Valk and I don't really see any pinkish tan to it.. looks pretty white to me! Im gonna leave it in fighter mode and put it on display with the others and fitted up the GBP parts to my TV brownie! I think it looks really cool! Glad I had a few left over gun straps to complete the look! Also im sticking to the rat claw hands as I just don't like those clown looking puffy anime hands..

Hehe! Nahh we cant close it.. its good for pointless post hits! LOL!

Hehe! To be honest i dont even think Arcadia knows the answer to that question..

Yeah for sure the standard issue articulated hands are pretty much junk and the anime style fixed pose hands look kinda odd and are way too large.. a half way point between the two would be great. But probably too intricate and difficult to manufacture.

@ScreamMan.. i guess you're right about the simplicity of it but the fact its a main characters valk being Grace then it has to have the horned head.

Different era's, different mecha, different skills.. in their own times they are all as great as each other! Nuff said.. Now back on topic

Hey im still gunning for that!

Yeah i guess the wallet factor is well justified. Not everyone including myself can spontaneously blow endless amounts of cash for these things.. Although having said that, for me the Macross Valkyries are currently my only line of a (expensive) growing collection so i can usually splurge that bit extra on doubles, triples or multiple variants. Sometimes it would be nice to aquire these things a little faster than whats been released at previous rates. Maybe every once in a while more than one thing could be released at one time thats all im saying..

Myself I'd probably only ever get a 2nd if they made it a re-paint in Skull colors or something else completely different colored to the original release. I love the VF-4 but not enough to have another identical..

Yeah i have two 0A on pre-order.. might end up as three before long! In my opinion they should release the A & S concurrently. Do we really need to have toys released individually every 6 months!? Im sure the S is at the very same state of development / readiness as the A anyways.. And if the ever do re-issue the Max & Milia VF-1J pair then it will be interesting to see how they go about it. Im thinking a super box set with both in one would be epic! Even though i have them now I'd still probably buy them again!

Often is doesn't seem like it. especially when they release stuff that really didnt need to be and make blatant paint color errors.. to be honest they should know better.Sorry im just having a rant.. feeling frustrated.

You know what would be perfect for Arcadia next!?!? New management! clearly the people running the show aren't toy people..

I wish they opened PO's for both variants at the same time.. i know thay wouldn't work for some but i just don't want to have to wait another 6 friggin months for it.. I want my toys NOW!!!

Dang i want these parts on my brownie so bad!!!

I have noticed a change in their handling methods over the last 18 months especially.. either they have changed the way they do things or simply getting a great deal more business which is the cause who knows..?

who did you buy it from?

Just checked the tracking and there are no updates as yet.. seeing that its still only Monday here in Australia im hoping that it'll arrive by Friday at the latest! fingers crossed..

Technically yes it should be as per their specifications they are much larger than the VB6.. going by the pictures of the toys we've seen so far its as if the scale doesn't look very accurate compared to the other mecha. Or it could just be the photos playing visual tricks..

same here.. I'll definitely get the Monster though! Should still be a hefty bit of mecha even at 1/100 scale..

only this which was posted on a previous page.. http://minkara.carview.co.jp/en/userid/582954/blog/35778250/

Same for me! woo! much quicker than I had anticipated..

I liked the first movie but the others that followed seemed shallow and unnecessary.. although I liked the aviary scenes in the third movie! Im definitely looking forward to this new movie but certainly won't be setting my hopes too high on it..
