Whats your 1 wish for Arcadia

[miro79]

Please let it NOT be the VF-11MAXL!!!

I really hate this design!

[Mommar]

Well, they do seem to be releasing things in the order of highest popularity. Roy, Hikaru, soon to be Isamu. Not sure if they would re-release Basara but Mac7 was pretty popular as who else is popular from that show? We've already got Gamlin and Docker covered... and they didn't go over too well. So that leaves Mylene.

[Falcon18]

I hope it's not the 11MAXL. I wouldn't get it that's just me.

Still hoping it's a 0 of sorts though skull has said it's not probable. Still.. Feb couldn't come soon enough. When exactly would WF be, anyone knows?

[GU-11]

As much as I'm hoping for a VT-1 or VF-2SS, please let it not be until 2015. I've got so many heavy hitters pre-ordered for 2014 that I can't afford another one.

You're in luck, he's already said it isn't something that's already been made (VT-1) and they aren't ever making MacII stuff.

[skullmilitia]

The VT-1 is covered by the general release reissues to full the year out.

I expect one two seat variant to show up.

That's a relief!

Which means I'm not out of the woods yet, am I?

The original Yamato release was priced at around 150 USD according to the discontinued page I found at HLJ; hopefully it won't go beyond the 200-250 mark. I hope I won't have to resort to the infamous Ramen Diet to be able to afford it.

Hopefully it'll only see a release in Q4 of 2014.

Of course!!!!, valks with boobs, should've suspected earlier given Arcadia's other products. lol

[Falcon18]

Lol!

Won't see it so soon I reckon. They'll probably roll out the M&Ms first before releasing the 2 seaters. Which won't be till mid or end year or even 2015 me thinks.

[skullmilitia]

I reckon we won't see the M&M releases until the release the Super Parts first,

I think the M&M versions are the only bundled sets that have to be bundled.

I could be wrong, they could be stand alones with Supers being web exclusives or something.

[Falcon18]

I doubt they'll be standalones. That won't really make sense and that's just evil. Lol. Pure money making technique.

But yeah.. Good point. Supers might come first. Can go either way though. Also, I wouldn't think that the supers would be a big announcement release. Probably an intermittent thing like the VF-1 variants.

[YF-29 Durandal]

I have one already but if they make a new one and properly Miria red then I will take it.

So VF-11MAXL, VF-14 or VF-5000?

[David Hingtgen]

I would pre-order a VF-11MAXL sight unseen.

[Scyla]

If it is the VF-11MAXL I had to buy a VF-19K with Soundbooster. I better ordering one know before it is too late.

I also would prefer that a potential Sound Force Valkyrie is cast in glossy plastic it will fit nicely with the K.

I think a transformable VF-9 that is very sleek in Fighter- and bulky in Battroid-Mode would really impress Kawamori.

[Mommar]

I have one already but if they make a new one and properly Miria red then I will take it.

So VF-11MAXL, VF-14 or VF-5000?

What's wrong with the red color on Milia's Valk?

[Reïvaj]

I think a transformable VF-9 that is very sleek in Fighter- and bulky in Battroid-Mode would really impress Kawamori.

And the director of the series?

[Dax415]

I would like a VF-2SS hands down, with fast packs of course!

[mechaninac]

I'd wish for a VF-2SS with SAP as well, but see it as highly unlikely.

If I were to speculate on Arcadia's first, totally new, 1/60 perfect variable from Macross, I'd have to bet on the VF-5000.

[skullmilitia]

VF-5000 Zola - probably not popular enough

VF-9 - already shot down by MrK for animagic

VF-14 - possible, but how popular.. I mean seriously.

VF-2SS - it ain't happening

VF-11MAXL - eh.. Although Firebombers popularity might help.

VF-11 Armored?

VA-3 - it's possible.. But again how popular?

I'm gonna say..

We are getting fooled, and it's probably something we've been told "no" too.

Perhaps when he said Kawamori and the Director, maybe it's just Kawamori?

Maybe it's been in front of us from the beginning.

VF-0D?- Graham said they were working on it and the YF-19 V2 before Yamato went seperate ways.

Then MrK posted the pic of the VF-0D and the ghost X9.

I'm guessing it's either SDF1 TV, VF-0D or the Ghost X9.

[YF-29 Durandal]

What's wrong with the red color on Milia's Valk?

It's more pink than red.

[Mommar]

It's more pink than red.

Oh, you're referring to the 22S. Everybody has been discussing VF-1 reissues and I was confused.

VF-5000 Zola - probably not popular enough

VF-9 - already shot down by MrK for animagic

VF-14 - possible, but how popular.. I mean seriously.

VF-2SS - it ain't happening

VF-11MAXL - eh.. Although Firebombers popularity might help.

I'm guessing it's either SDF1 TV, VF-0D or the Ghost X9.

The ghost isn't a Valk though, right? Neither is the SDF-1. Or do we know if it absolutely has to be a valk or for some reason I'm under that impression? I would buy all three of those things, however.

[Loop]

"I'm guessing it's either SDF1 TV, VF-0D or the Ghost X9."

Or we could be reading in to the hint wrong. The ghost is red the 0D is blue + Sheryl in a wedding dress could = Max and Millia reissues? I dunno, I am going to just sit back and be patient. I really do need a SDF1 TV though and a ghost x9 and also a 0D.

[skullmilitia]

Yeah.. True, or you could be looking too deeply into it.

If they were at any decent phase of the 0D when they split, it's likely

It went with Arcadia.

But it's still all guessing. I think MrK's done a good job at actually letting anything slip to really define a good guess.

[mechaninac]

VF-5000 Zola - probably not popular enough

Well, it wouldn't necessarily need to be the Zola patrol version, now would it?...

I'd certainly be up for this M+ version and/or the VFX2 one.

Edited December 28, 2013 by mechaninac

[David Hingtgen]

Milia's VF-4 is also pink instead of red. And doesn't even have stripes. It's the worst-looking of her valks, when it should be one of the coolest-looking. Fanon versions of her VF-4 look way better.

I'd buy a VF-4 of hers in a second, but only if it was "traditional" red with white, and not the canon M3 version.

I'd take any of the canon VF-5000 schemes, but would actually prefer the teal Zolan.

[GU-11]

Lol!

Won't see it so soon I reckon. They'll probably roll out the M&Ms first before releasing the 2 seaters. Which won't be till mid or end year or even 2015 me thinks.

That's great news. Hopefully it'll stretch out well into 2015.

[Mommar]

I'd certainly be up for this M+ version and/or the VFX2 one.

I would take both of those schemes plus the Teal Zolan scheme.

[troyness]

It's a shame it's not a VF-2SS.

What about a VA-1SS Metal Siren?

OR VF-2JA Icarus?

.......or a remold of the YF-21 ( starting with a Prototype #1.. that beige/brown/yellow reminds me of the brown hornet from Fat Albert)

[Reïvaj]

With any decision made by Arcadia someone will be unhappy. Everybody want to be served first.

Mr K has said over and over that Mac2isn't profitable. It doesn't matter which of the Valkyries you choose to list from that series, it's still a no.

Woops!! You guys are right, it,s 2am here in China....my bad, I was was looking at macrossmechamanual and was charmed by Mac2.

..........a remold of YF-21 proto No.1 perhaps?

If Arcadia were to go with the made-to-order paradigm they're employing for their upcoming YF-19 "2.0", same as Yamato did with the almost as equally obscure to the VF-2SS -- the VF-4G, I'm sure they could make Macross II variable mecha a profitable venture... at least the Valkyrie II with SAP; a general release would almost certainly prove a financial loss. I would certainly preorder 2 Sylvie versions and 2 Nexx ones, as well as one copy each of the other Faerie squadron variants (Amy, Natasha, and Saori), if released at widely spaced intervals, even at Arcadia's absurdly high 30K+ Yen per limited edition unit going rate... I want them that much. I know that chances are that it will never happen, even if they could make the numbers work, but it's fun to dream. I'd also be up for the VF-2JA Icarus, at least 2 copies; but the Metal Siren... not so much.

We're gonna need someone like Captain America to make that happen. I'm no fortune teller but I don't ever see Arcadia or Bandai ever making this one in toy form. By the way the VF-2SS+SAP is my personal favorite Valk!

[sreichma]

My wish is on the articluation side of design. 2 things are missing. First, a joint in the torso that can bend or at least have one click for bending and the second is waist articulation.

I guess a third wish would be for a gloss option. I love the matte finish of Yamato, but I'd really like to see a 1/60 VF-1 done in the plastic and gloss Bandai uses for its DX Valks. Anyone know what the difference in the two is?

Makes me wonder if someone would be willing to 3D scan the perfect transformation model kit (used to have one..i believe it was bandai's), enlarge it to 1/60 or 1/48, add details and offer it on shapeway for printing and do recasts (?). Dont know how much it'll cost but gauging from the price/material of EXO's bandai-to-yamato adapters, it wont be cheap. At least on the original enlarged 3D printed kit. The sprues on the kit can be made minimal; or even better, eliminated completely.
