Arcadia YF-19 coming in 2014

[CoreyD]

Looks pretty clear here: http://www.macross.co.uk/plus/gallery/WALLPAPER_YF-19_Beaten.jpg

[Chronocidal]

Yeah, seriously, everyone relax. That's the cad drawing. The VF-19S had that same exact color canopy in the cad, and their prototype pics all show a clear canopy.

Everything they have so far (besides the prototype photospread) is the cad model with minimal markings. The only markings on there are the ones done via natural dividing lines in parts, which is why the tails and panel between the canards are colored, but the wing stripes aren't there yet.

I guess we'll have to explain this every new page of this thread

Good point.

I can read "Macross Plus" here:

I can see a clear canopy here:

It's too early to start panicking. And it's not the first time that we are facing this situation. Will we ever learn?

Mr. K has clarified that the color is not yet final.

[Mommar]

You think someone there cued him in to all of the panic? lol

[Loop]

Lol, that's pretty cool that he came out and said that to stop the freak out.

[skullmilitia]

That's sad you guys Emo out, causes Mr. K to take time away from releasing this

To calm the Justin Bieber party on the color scheme.

Lets wait for final pics to whine about colors, and stick to be emo over

The probable MSRP price. Then rejoice it's not made by Bandai.

[Gakken85]

I agreee.

cool thanks for the post

I can't believe people are still freaking about the canopy thing...man I'm late to this party

[Isamu Dyson]

OMG!!! - Took a hiatus from MW, and this news just shocked the hell out of me? Never thought the day would come after hearing about Yamato. Definitely a must buy. Arcadia - Put down 4 for me. Does any one know if Arcadia stocks up like Yamato does or do they operate like Bandai?

[drake]

something we can learn about ARCADIA Macross from this preorder:

i can confirmed it's YAMATO friendly style

[Scream Man]

i think it's to early to panic.

[jenius]

Yeah... I wouldn't draw too many conclusions from an ugly non-canon VF-1 most people are shunning. What I'm hoping is that they do it like the VF-4 where we can all get in, they make enough for us, and that's it. Then a year later they can do it all over again for those who missed the boat.

[raptormesh]

i think it's to early to panic.

What, the MW motto is to "Panic soon and panic often." Sometimes I think we act like housewives bitching over Tupperware back in old days.

[hulagu]

Matte or Glossy like the VF19s? Or is it too early to tell from the CG?

[Kurisama]

Way too early to tell, but not way to early to panic & have a cry and scream to the heavens that you will boycott Acadia...

[valid]

can't wait to put it side to side with the upcoming durandal isamu custom

[Renato]

Internal missile bays confirmed; crapton of missiles, laser pods and other ordinance included...

Edit -- Forgot to mention: high-speed mode with the wings folding back also confirmed. Panickers will panic. Fans will rejoice.

[jenius]

Like the missile bays on the VF-19? IT's been so long, I don't remember that from Plus. Does that picture say it will also have hardpoints and a variety of wing armaments?

EDIT - I see it does. SCHWEET. Can't wait for this.

Wow they are really pulling out all the stops for this, way to go Arcadia.

thanks for all the important info!

makes me want this over the bandai isamu color yf-29.

Yes, they are similar to the ones on the VF-19. They are in the animation,at least in episode 4, you see Isamu launch some High maneuver missiles. Yes, it will come with all these missiles and armament. No confirmation on hardpoints on the wings, but obviously those reaction missiles and laser pods have to go somewhere, right (they are not internal)?

[CoreyD]

Man, I am liking this upcoming release more and more every day!!!

[Chronocidal]

I need to go apologize to my downstairs neighbor.. I think my jaw just crashed into his dinner.

Just.. holy crap. I'm slightly worried what the price will be with all this, but I love the fact that they're including so many options. I kinda wouldn't be surprised if the reaction missiles aren't part of the pack though, since they've been available for a while. I do hope the hardpoints are compatible with all the stuff we already have, but also not counting on it.

Edit: Nevermind, they definitely say RMS in the description, along with a half dozen other acronyms.

Awesome. Now I'm interested in this release.

[David Hingtgen]

For the "ultimate" YF-19 this is shaping up to be, I'll gladly pay. It's my fave valk, period.

[MacrossJunkie]

I'm very curious to see how they manage to do the high speed mode. All these features are impressive.

[Reïvaj]

It certainly can't be any better than this IMO. And I don't care about the price.
