I could be wrong but I was pretty sure they did so in a tweet prior to the pandemic. You could *just* make out the leg and armors of one. That was about it though. I don’t think that was a VF-1D. I’ll have to go back pretty deep in this thread but it was here in the forums that I saw it. 
 

edit: I couldn’t find the actual Arcadia tweet but I do remember being excited about this one.

To my recollection the leg armor was teased in a picture with the PF VF-0D. 2019ish maybe. You aren't crazy. it is somewhere on this board.

HMR Max still available?

Yeah, I was really hopeful for a PF VT-1 after that random Elintseeker re-release, but then everything just dried up.

Didn't they tease a VT re-release a while back?

I think some industrious modeller should be able to do it, esp it they have the fighter mode kit in the stash if they need to take some parts.

The problem with that kit though is that piece of the back pack is molded into the rear portion of the upper fuselage. It's not a separate piece like the VF1s. A really sharp razor and some sand paper may do the trick though. I guess a battroid kit may work though...

nice.

I'm in the same boat as Twich having ordered mine from BBTS. I've yet to see anyone post who has received theirs from them, but I'm hoping it's good news so far as straight antennas and unbroken bits. For the price we're paying, anything amiss is unacceptable.

Nope, mine was straight as a crooked road.

I'm about 10 years too late to the VF17 party but finally have one.

We already have enough "toy display" threads...this thread and the "non-Macross" latest purchase thread should just feature boxed, non-displayed toys only...

Do Models count?

New thread action...

Not exactly new... it's a shrunken Yamato VF-19.   But yes, very different from the original HM Fire Valk.

Yeah the original looks much sleeker in Battroid mode.

N/M Saw Noel's post from a couple of pages back... looks like a new sculpt.

Got cartjacked at BiJ.  Sold out super fast.  Got one at Yoykunow.  Never ordered from them before.  I hope they're legit/safe...

Did they require you to prepay?

They are all showing no 'no stock' or 'soon available' is that because they haven't' officially opened yet?

After pre-ordering 2 from LunaPark within the first few minutes of availability (don't really care about the price mark-up as it was my first available option when I went online to order), I'm having a moment of reflection today and appreciating the fact that this thing actually managed to make it into production and get made and I'll have it in my hand sometime in June.  😊

Honestly... I may bitch about the price. But I would have paid $500 for it (probably shouldn't say that out loud :D)

For most BBTS also charges state tax according to the buyer's location. For me it would be almost another 30$+ ontop of the 350 and 5$ s&h.

Yeah, for me I think total price from BBTS was about $380.

X - post from DX thread... But if you're looking.

Do they charge immediately or only upon release?

The only thing I got from them on PO was the DX VF1J and that has been awhile... but if memory serves I thought I paid on release... But that could have changed as that was 5 years ago.

Available now on Amazon.co.jp at ~$330 US

Cobra army building is fun.

LMAO, Case in point Heads, up Target apparently has plenty of Python Patrol Televipers with Trouble Bubbles, at least in my area.

This one was a 'Grail' Valkyrie for me. I'm so glad Arcadia re-released it.
