    Saving up the panel-lined version for some "Weathered Premium" version, Arcadia?

    That's not really true. At least, ime. The KO/bootlegs I bought out of curiousity some years ago were all definitely crap. There's nothing good with any of it other than it was just lotsa cheaper than the official ones. Some people were saying their KOs of Prowl, Tracks and whatever were "good", but I really really highly doubt it. Those MP KOs/bootlegs were rather quite relatively simpler to bootleg than a regular 1/60v2 VF-1.

    The bootleggers will themselves be the ones scalping them, then...

    Kinda funny. These bootlegs most likely won't hurt Arcadia. People will still opt to buy their M&M if they ever issue them. These bootlegs will only really hurt the scalpers, especially those currently pricing their second-hand M&M's thru the stratosphere. The most obvious downside is that these same scalpers will then hoard all of these KOs and then scalp them for even more ludicrous pricings. So, the only winning move is not to play...

    I think that actually brings up a funny conundrum for BW... BW: STAHP, Bootlegger! You're violating my Macross-IP! Don't do that! Bootlegger: Yeah, and? This ain't JPN, you know. We're in CHN, so your IP do diddlysquat here. We heard that that smelly hobo over there holds your Macross-IP outside of JPN. smelly hobo HG: Yo, BW! Want my help enforcing teh IP over here in CHN? BW: F-U, you smelly hobo! STOP TOUCHING ME! HG: good luck storming the castle, then. BW: gawdammit! --- Like I said before, it'll be interesting how the IP holders will combat this upcoming bootleg issue.

    In a way, it's kinda funny. One would think that most VF-1 fans have already migrated onto Bandai's HMR line by this time. It's the new shiny and it's gonna have a more complete lineup, and then some. However, it seems that the bootleggers are guessing optimistically that there are still some money to be made on the 1/60v2 line by supplying their KOs for it. I'm thinking this "new" 1/60v2 market is the newly-affluent fans in CHN. They seem to be the ones that seems to be consuming most of those those highly-expensive Hot Toys and Fewture stuff, and even way-overpriced TF MPs.

    Not really sure what you're talking about anymore. There were no bootlegs of Yamato back in the day. Partially due to Yammie's mostly excellent low pricing that flooded the market and suffocated any chance of any bootlegging. Most of us got our stuff and we were happy. Nobody's concerned about bootlegs. Heck! Nobody's really concerned even about even their competition back then from both Toynami and Bandai. In contrast, This upcoming bootleg-issue is now being raised by Arcadia. They are somehow concerned that their home-market (Japan) will import these upcoming bootlegs. It tells us that the bootleggers sniffed a good chance to make money out of those Macross-fans being ignored by Arcadia. This bootlegging issue wouldn't really be a big deal if only Arcadia's satisfying the market (both their home and foreign) like Yamato did back in the day.

    lol! It'll so damn hilarious and rather quizzically ironic if these upcoming KOs proves to be Toynami/MPC KOs. AHAHAHAHAHA!!!

    Well, the fans wants to consume some stuff and are ready and willing to pay for it. In fact, pretty much begging for the stuff. The "rights-holder" does not offer the stuff and seemingly continually ignoring the fans about it. So, then, now what? Do you expect the fans to just continue to be ignored and just twiddle their thumbs about it?
  13. treatment
    Like I said in the Arcadia-thread when this news was first reported, it'll be interesting to see what and how Arcadia is gonna respond to combat this issue. Not really sure BigWest or any entity can do anything about the problem, anyway. Bootlegging Macross toys (or any Macross-related stuff) ain't exactly a new phenomenon.
  14. treatment
    Yes. Joons and stuff. There were also bootlegs of the the 1/65 Bandai Macross7 toys, which were actually better than Bandai's own toys, iirc.

    So they're not putting english-subs on the 2202 because the rights-holder basically says frakk You, That's Why. Great. And Eldred still wants the fans to import BDs?

    Finally get to watching wotafa's video. Geezus! Good luck and be safe to y'all transforming this valk!

    Meanwhile, it'll be nice for Arcadia to do a whole new mould instead of just tweaking existing yamato-designs and expensively charging for it. A new mould, Arcadia. Like a 1/60 Cheyenne...

    Not that I know of. Of course, I don't actively seek such sites as I usually just check the usual jp/chn hobby-sites/forums aggregates like TD and TH, and the official tamashii.jp site for news and stuff.

    You're not the only one. It's like some half-baked "gerwalk" from a non-Macross series. Just not quite the usual Macross GERWALK badass aesthetic most of us are used to.

    Not really. At least in the US thru Amazon/Bluefin, Bandai's toys (DX/SOC/SRC/SHF/SHMA/etc/etc) are about $10+ or more expensive than importing directly from Japan at po-pricing that includes the shipping-fees. Some shops (b&m and online) scalps for even more, iirc. Not sure about the tampons, tho...
