Yay! Mine just arrived now in our office shipping department. But since it arrived at noon I might probably get that tomorrow morning. It will be get sorted out first. Unless miracle happens and there's not enough packages for today then there's a chance I might get it this afternoon.
-
Agreed. And it is what it is when it comes to KO's and 3P's products. Also we always get what we pay for for those products. Now it's just a battle of conscience and it's really up to consumers which one to support and buy.

I understand and respect everyone's take and comment about this matter. But I can't call this as a competition because you're robbing someone else's IP here (the plastic molds). I will call this competition if they're creating their own take of a 1/60th scale Valkyrie rather than a carbon copy of what's out there. Lego and MegaBlocks are competing with each other and not a carbon copy of one another. A healthy competition is a lot better rather than using someone else's products and recreate it. I also understand Archie's explanation on the Millenium Falcon and the price it's going nowadays. But it's just so happen that they already released this product years ago and I'm not sure if Lego practices reissues and whatnot. And if people didn't get the chance of owning one from the initial release, then they have to pay more to get it now. But it doesn't mean that some KO company has the right to copy one and make it more affordable just because the original is expensive. At the end of the day, just try to imagine yourself in a position when someone else is copying your idea and gets profit out of it without you knowing it. Let's see how we react to that. It's sad but it's true.

I'm IN for this for sure. I really like the redesigned or I mean recolored VF-1J. Less than $350-400? You think so? Look how Arcadia prices their new releases. It's already in the $320-340 price mark. You never know if we're going to reach that prices you mentioned soon. But to be honest, even at that price, I would still love to see their renewal take on the YF-21. For sure. It's the same thing happened on Bandai's Gunplas. Third parties or bootleggers cast the original mold and start from there. And look where they are now. Their designing new stuff too that Bandai hasn't produced it yet. Probably because they already alloted budget from selling mass produced recast Gunplas. Just adding this note. And to be honest, I already read a lot of stuff regarding bootlegs and whatnot. I for one, is also guilty of having selected bootlegs in my collection. And the only reason for that is because the original releases have astronomical prices and no assurance if there will be a reissue or not. That's why when the opportunity arises for those KO's I grabbed a few. But the moment the original product got reissued months and years later, I still went and bought the originals. That being said, I always make sure that I will not miss any PO's of figures that I want instead of waiting for a KO company to produce it.

TBH, this is old news for me. It's all deja vu actually. I was there when Daban, TT Hongli and some other weird companies taking over to KO Gunpla to the point that they're starting to create their own. And that was like 8 years ago. So this is not new to me esp reading everyone's comments here. It's practically the same comments I've read before. It's sad but I still wish Arcadia good luck and hope they will last and conquer this problem.

You're right! Preorder cancelled!
-
Not me. Actually, members here including myself are not scared to PO Macross toys. Instead, we are more scared not to 'secure' a PO.
-
But all that were mentioned are 'Macross' toys, right? Let's not forget to add it on the list, the first incarnation of Hi-Metal VF's and the VF100's. Unless you're asking if they screwed up any Macross toy specifically beyond the DX Renewals and Macross30 releases including the successful revised Hi-Metal R line?
-
I'm sure besides the V1 VF-25's and the VF-171 CF, you remember their famous VF-19Advance's not-so-exposed wing tabs, right?
-
-
It just so happens that the design of these Valks are way cool that's why most of the time we always forget what show it came from. And to be honest, even if I didn't like Macross7 if only the VF-19Kai didn't have a human face for sure I already bought one a long time ago.
-
Scored your second one, Spanner? Also, notice the small flaps from under the belly that folds along with the spine beside the gunpod? On the lineart above, it shows that it was folded back but on the DX figure, it was left folded.
-
And you asked this question over 'MACROSS' Forum?
-
I'm in! This is my first time to complete a full colored Power Rangers group figures. Red it is! You read my mind chyll2.
-
Are you referring to pleather? Any link for that Cosplay material would be nice.
-
Yup! That's one FINE Gerwalk right there. Also, got my DHL shipping notice from AmiAmi. Says end of day Thursday.
-
I'm pretty sure MacrossJunkie will do magic soon on that clear canopy. Can't wait to see it.
-
Oooh. Nice pics Spanner! Still no chance of a 2nd one? Still waiting for my shipping notice from AmiAmi.
-
I think chyll2 is referring to the right arm machie guns. The one that rests behind the canopy. I'm curious too if that pops up during Fighter mode. Ha! Says the guy who said he will not double dip on the Draken no matter what. Even if you mentioned you're not gonna get doubles you already mentioned it depends if the figure impresses you. Hahaha! Let's wait and see once you opened your package, Spanner. Back to topic, I just paid mine at AmiAmi. Will PO the LilDrakens tonight.
-
Hahaha! I'm one of those for sure. If only there's still signature. So that it will be your reminder once you're into that point where you tell yourself after you played with DX Draken, 'I need another one... and another one.'
-
To be honest, I'm not a big fan of it. But it really look nice somehow. Like Yin Yang with the blue. Sad to say, no.
-
I'm confused somehow towards the last part Don't you mean Big West and not Bandai? Or Bandai is somehow dictating regarding market demands?
-
^ And it should be the Nexx one before I hit Buy Now.
-
Yup. It's a white one like this. You like?
-
Thanks Spanner. I'll probably buy another Draken when Bandai announces Roid's Draken. If not, I'm just good with one Draken.
