troyness Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Got it today. Sorry about the crappy pix as I used my Chinese tablet. I resized all the pix. The flap has returned... Nice Ultimate Warrior color scheme. I tried taking a picture of the pilot but the tablet is unable to focus very well. The clear stand is included as promised. The side and neck covers are very dark, probably to match its priest collar.Hey Bub..no chair lift with the option parts? A view from under... Very nice... Get yours now and support Arcadia! I got it for USD150 (Converted to USD). Sorry messed up the quote with my ipad!!! My questions was..no chair lift with the option parts? Quote
Bub Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) I preordered. Gotta pay NY now. Graham Hey graham, I got mine from Richmond Centre in Argyle. Came out USD150. Sorry messed up the quote with my ipad!!! My questions was..no chair lift with the option parts? Pilot seat is included. Edited August 30, 2013 by Bub Quote
Scream Man Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Seriously, if anyone wants mine, just let me know. Quote

caslon Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Wow!! The box art is nice...slightly improved from the late Yammie packaging design... Quote

anubis20 Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Why is the "30 Anniversary" text in spanish? Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 hlj just shipped mine out today w/ a 27 renewal. Quote
Froy Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Why is the "30 Anniversary" text in spanish? Actually that's italian (according to Google translate) For spanish you only write one N. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 That's italian, I think it has something to do with the waterslide decals manufacturer. Quote
ErikElvis Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 I hate to say it..... But am I the only one not blown away by the box art? Quote
Loop Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 I hate to say it..... But am I the only one not blown away by the box art? Not sure, but it looks a hell of a lot better than the standard Yamato fare. They were notorious for using bad art with the 90's style fonts and font effects and maybe some simple grid patterns.

UN Spacy Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 I hate to say it..... But am I the only one not blown away by the box art? Maybe you...but I think David said the color of the font was off. Quote
Gakken85 Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 It's not the most impressive box, but it's a huge step forward and brings the boxes into the modern age haha. Quote

They were notorious for using bad art with the 90's style fonts and font effects and maybe some simple grid patterns. You must mean 80's grid pattern!! I don't know why, I don't think this particular valk scheme is nice, must be because it's something different and new but I'm really anxious to get mine. Quote
Bub Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Thanks Bub! All the option parts are there, nice one Arcadia!! That's right all option parts plus the "clear stand". Why is the "30 Anniversary" text in spanish? I don't know. The seller said it was wrong spelling, but I told him that it is in Spanish. Actually that's italian (according to Google translate) For spanish you only write one N. So it was Italian then... Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 I don't think it's a misspelling, it's present also in the 1/72 Hasegawa version, perhaps Tenjin added it that way so they had to keep it as part of the art? Quote
skullmilitia Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Man, I can't even escape Spanish packaging in Japan! That's a wierd deal. Some one hit the wrong translate button? Quote
MACROSS25 Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Man, I can't even escape Spanish packaging in Japan! That's a wierd deal. Some one hit the wrong translate button? Yep! is an honest mistake remember Takatoku....... Quote
Duymon Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Wow, the FIrst Yamato valk that will need Micro-sol to look complete. Quote
locidm Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Can someone confirm box size? From pics above it looks like the size of later Yamato release box size but previous pic made it look much bigger. Quote
m0n5t3r Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 I like the look of the black heatshield and black option parts. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Box dimensions almost identical, slightly heavier and wider (probably by the sleeve) according to HLJ VF-1S Hikaru w/option parts 32.6 x 28.2 x 10.6 cm / 860g http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00233/Sci VF-1J 30th 32.6 x 28.3 x 10.8 cm / 1050g http://www.hlj.com/product/ACA82001/Sci Edited September 2, 2013 by Valkyrie addict Quote
Mommar Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Has anybody tried the waterslide decals yet? How are they? I've never put waterslides on before. Some tips before my 30th Anniversary arrive would be great. Quote
locidm Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Box dimensions almost identical, slightly heavier and wider (probably by the sleeve) according to HLJ VF-1S Hikaru w/option parts 32.6 x 28.2 x 10.6 cm / 860g http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00233/Sci VF-1J 30th 32.6 x 28.3 x 10.8 cm / 1050g http://www.hlj.com/product/ACA82001/Sci Thanks VA. Didn't notice box dimensions ate available. I'm relieved to hear that box size hasn't increased. Storage space is always a headache and a huge limiting factor. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 yeah, thanks for researching the box dimensions Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) since mine just came in the mail. thought i show you the size of the stand and option parts in relation to the box Standard depth tray this is where the stand is located when you pull out the plastic tray close up of stand and option parts sideshot to get a glimpse of the depth of the stand in relation to the plastic tray and box Tenjin box side by side comparison with 1/60 yamato box (non bundled) In the last picture tenjin box looks smaller but it is not, it's just my couch angled the box a bit. They are identical in size. Edited September 4, 2013 by davidwhangchoi Quote
skullmilitia Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 I would be in financial trouble if all future Arcadia boxes came looking like that. It matches the Bandai renewal boxes on the shelf. Quote
arrow Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 I like the paint scheme. just not a fan of colored cockpit windows. which is why i was never compelled to get the new frontier birds Quote
