niomosy Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hmmm, that pic is on a site blocked at work so I'll have to take a look tonight at home. I'm mildly optimistic for now. Not sure yet how much I really want to delve into 1/60's given a very tight budget and other things higher in priority. Still, it's good starting news. Hopefully there's more from there.

Deadeye_281 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Still looks ugly as sin IMHO. That fact combined with a jacked-up price are putting me off Arcadia before they even get out of the gate. I'd like to support them but I won't be doing so if they're only going to offer eyesore paint schemes from the get go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negotiator Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Would be nice if they threw in fast packs for that price. I'd be happy if they would just release kits of all their molds, painted or unpainted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 . I'd be happy if they would just release kits of all their molds, painted or unpainted. Make the kits low viz grey and I'll be a happy camper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarrinG Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Seems like M&M valk announcements (with option parts and baby pod thing) would have many more folks shoving each other out of the way to get their orders in... (me included) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvmacross Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Not crazy about the design, but then again, ugly anniversary valks are now a tradition! Will get one to show support and to get Arcadia to complete the VF line ....they are so close! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahab Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Agreed. A proper Virgin Road would be nice..Vf-1D body with a 1A head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 VF-1 line is so close to completion....they can make them Macross Chronicle exclusives and call it done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Rather buy another Bandai or an older Valk. Or tons of other things. Pass for Moi. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro_BS-AS Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Well, at least we are discussing because of a NEW VALKYRIE from ARCADIA that now we possitively know that´s going to be made... So, try and be a little more optimistic about all this, all of you ! Yes, it´s ugly... but there´s one at least. You know...

EXO Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Definitely a display piece for me. I hope Tenjin does a Hasegawa Box Art that I can frame next to this someday. Also, I think this will be limited, so the price reflects that and the tampo process. Just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moustik747 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I guess 15,800 yen isn't that bad all things considered. Considering that you can barely find one below this price, I think it is the new price range we should all get used to. After all, I do not know the exact reasons Yamato went out of business but perhaps Arcadia won't try to do the same mistakes, whatever they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptormesh Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 For that price I could get another VF-19S plus change. Actually fast packs would be a good idea and make the purchase more palatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Way too expensive considering what the same mold cost a few months ago. For that price I'd expect fast packs included. Matching after market value is no excuse to raise the price. Otherwise bandai might as well increase the price of their DX line to match NY prices.

Mommar Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Some silly arguments going on here. Comparing a new Valk with a pricey paint scheme to older Valks that were already on sale prices and a valk that sold so poorly it was heavily discounted as well.

Renato Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I'm getting one just to celebrate the Yamato-Arcadia saga!!! Heh. That's true, this is going to be remembered as a symbolic Valk, more than anything else. The "VF-1P Panic Valkyrie", if you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna leave work and go to some book stores soon and see if I can take clearer pictures of the article(s) (assuming the book stores don't put plastic over the magazines).

Valkyrie addict Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 You guys should check antibiotictab videos on Macross items on Shizuoka show. There's a good shot of the Tenjin design. Might me Arcadia excitement hitting me, but the design is sorta growing on me. I might order me the Hasegawa model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing a new Valk with a pricey paint scheme to older Valks that were already on sale prices and a valk that sold so poorly it was heavily discounted as well. I'd admit you have a point and my remark was off-base, but in the end it's still quite a bit higher than MSRP for previous VF-1 releases(the 30th anni /w option parts).

Tober Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Still looks ugly as sin IMHO. That fact combined with a jacked-up price are putting me off Arcadia before they even get out of the gate. I'd like to support them but I won't be doing so if they're only going to offer eyesore paint schemes from the get go. Yeah, I'd like to support Arcadia as I did Yamato, but they make it difficult for me by releasing Valkyrie schemes I simply don't want. If it is a limited release then I guess it will sell well enough regardless of weather I get one or not tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Ghost Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 おはようございます！各雑誌様にてご覧になられた方もいらっしゃるとは思いますが、アルカディアよりマクロストイ【第一弾】として「VF-1J バルキリー マクロス30周年塗装機」が近日予約開始予定です！随時情報を公開してまいりますので、もう少々お待ちくださいませ！ Tweeter Google Translator : Good morning!! I think you looked at each magazine like also and come, but "30th anniversary painting machine VF-1J Valkyrie Macross" is soon reservation scheduled to begin Macross toy as [first step] from Arcadia! So we will continue to publish the information at any time, please wait a little longer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Seems like Arcadia is planning to release more Macross toys. If so I only have two wishes. A VF-11C reissue (not gonna happen) and a VF-1J Milia Type from Mac7 (also not gonna happen). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
