Aren't we all. -
Though I admit I like the hands on this one than Arcadia's.

Great hauls! Great shots! -
I'm just going to stay quiet for now regarding the first color. Don't want to feel 'dejavu' again. (Hello, VF-0D.)

Oh spanner. You made me want to drink Starbucks again. Great job Lancalot!

You can use Tamiya's German Grey, barurutor. Make sure you get those Tamiya tapes as well to mask the areas you don't want to get painted. Make sure to get the flat one since flat paints somehow dries evenly compared to gloss paints.

True. And what we're discussing here is a reissue or rerelease of the same said Valk. I'm sure if they will reissue or rerelease the same YF-21, price might drop on the first release. With that said, I don't think Arcadia will sell a reissued YF-21 below Y24000 nowadays. And why YF-21 demands greater price is because VF-22, like barurutor and Chronocidal said, is a different valk, and it's from a different show. They have the same mold but with some changed parts. So if I want for example the YF-21 because I like its color, the pilot and Macross Plus compared to Macross7, and still know that VF-22 is a lot cheaper, would you go and buy VF-22 instead? I think the additional factor also why VF-22 is cheaper than YF-21 is because some people know that they like Macross Plus than Macross7. So demand is not as high as Macross Plus valks. For that matter, I'm willing to pay the same amount as YF-19/VF-0D/0S to a new YF-21 as long that Arcadia will revisit and re-engineer it again.

I guess, the best example here is the reissuing of DX VF-25S Renewal and the mentioned Yamato/Arcadia VF-1's and YF-19. Prior of the reissue for the DX VF-25S Renewal, prices were like $400-800 after market. Then Bandai decided to have a reissue 2-3 years later after the initial release. Now everyone wants to sell theirs for lower price since everyone can avail the recent reissue for $200 less. It's the same product only with tightened joints. But imagine if it were a Renewal-renewal version 2 for VF-25S, then for sure prices from the first Renewal will drop instantly. Same thing applies for the VF-1's and YF-19. But, if ever Arcadia finally decided to re-release the VF-4G, they can and will jack up the price up compared to the initial released price and collector will still buy even for just one copy. (Just so you know, I will still buy one, if ever. ) Now you're going to ask why are they going to mark up the price since it's just a 'reissue', it's because they can. Example, the reissuing of VF-1S/Roy/Hikaru under Arcadia banner. And look at the prices now for Arcadia's releases, it still going up after market prices. Somehow, I think of Arcadia, the 'Hot Toys of Macross'. They can dictate the price like Hot Toys are doing and people are still buying. Even we complain to less tampo, miscolorization, and what not, we still buy them.

AFAIK, if it's a 'regular' release... proabably. Now I'm thinking what's there to offer for a 'web exclusive' release from this line? Tomahawk and Defender, down the line?
-
That could be true, chyll2... And here I am now drooling over this pic.

Nice review, Ender. Wait till you use YetiStands. -
Thanks abbadon. Glad you liked it. Will try to take some new shots and hopefully some action shots as well. Are you also planning on buying one? Last time I checked only NY has a copy for Y36000. I want to have an extra one since I want to display Gerwalk and Orgroid mode at the same time. But with that price, I better save it for future purchases. Or better save it if ever they're going to release an Olson or Orguss II variants.

Looks great! Good luck on the PO next week guys. I'm going to sit this whole line out. Don't want to add another Macross line and spend too much. I'm just happy and content with the 1/60 scaled ones.
-
Great! Look awesome! Question, Hal, would that setup just fit in a single detolf shelf without the riser? Coz I'm also planning on doing the same concept on my extra YF-19 and YF-21 together. And being them a large valks, would they need to be displayed diagonally on the shelf instead of facing forward or sideways? Thanks! Looking forward to your reply. I'm doing a list on what to order from Yeti. Yup, I guess everyone has 20 VF-1's. Hehehe. Love your collection, master of macross.

If only I could speak fluent Japanese... I can read small amount but composing a sentence, can't do it anymore.

That's a lot! Great purchase! Love that Orguss. You're also going to get an Olson if ever there's one, Renato? Nice Alto Valk! Wanna share the rest of his catalogue, Saburo? Good for you Garfinkel. I still don't have a Detolf. Hehehe. Ooooh... Roy. Wanna have one too in the future. Love this shot. All it needs now is a sky background. Nice Low Vis. -

Late May. According to NY, May 31. So that's first week of June to US based.

Thanks DarrinG. I missed taking pics of the box. Hehehe.

Yup. That's correct. I mean, look what that Valk is doing on a third market price. Some posted even $800-1000. I know for a moment NY posted their last copy around Y99000. And now it's already gone. But the last price on their page states Y110000. It meas, they probably sold their last copy for that price. Who knows. Even Mommar said the MSRP was between $290-330. So getting it for $388? Yup, that is a steal. Also to answer your first sentence regarding $400 for a toy. Look at what Hot Toys are doing nowadays on their Diecast Series. It's almost $400. $340 to be exact for their Iron Man diecast releases. And that's without shipping yet. I cannot say it's great really great to have that price. But looking at the details they're producing, I'll probably have to pay just to get it. But yeah, back then, $290-330 for a Valk was kinda steep. And look how much we're paying nowadays... I totally agree too.
