skullmilitia Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 I hope the stand comes with it for that price yikes. Quote
Duymon Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 I wish it came with fastpacks for that price yikes Quote
CoreyD Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Is there any real difference between this and the focker yamato v2? Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Is there any real difference between this and the focker yamato v2? We won't know until somebody gets one and transforms it. Or unless arcadia release details. The plastic looks a lot geryer (is that a word?) than the off-white from the yammie DYRL. The head looks more angular too.. but it could just be me. Maybe they refined the mold. Maybe not. They seem to be picking up the release schedule a bit from what most people were saying. Looks like they'll be pumping out the VF-1 mold to help pay for the re-design of the other valks like the 19. I never got a Roy of any kind so it works for me Edited July 21, 2013 by Gakken85 Quote
Loop Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 The mold looks the same to me, the only difference is a way higher price and the stand. I guess we will have to wait and see what Arcadia says. Quote
jvmacross Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 So Arcadia will now post new release info on non-Arcadia sites?....heck non-Japanese sites?!.... Looks like someone took a DYRL Focker V2 and adapted a YF-21 stand to hold it... Quote
skullmilitia Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 So is this another MG release? As in JK bro. These things were MSRP 118$ a year ago with the option parts. I could say a 10-15% increase in price might be warranted, but not 50% Quote
Loop Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 So Arcadia will now post new release info on non-Arcadia sites?....heck non-Japanese sites?!.... Looks like someone took a DYRL Focker V2 and adapted a YF-21 stand to hold it... That is a different base than the YF-21's stand base. I think this could be fake though, this would be plastered all over net right? Quote
Dax415 Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Wow....Arcadia took the crazy ebay prices to heart. Too expensive for me, I'm out. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 ummm...I'll wait confirmation from Arcadia before I comment. Quote
OmegaD3k Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Waiting until official confirmation. The Minmay Guard topic comes to mind. Edited July 21, 2013 by OmegaD3k Quote
Mommar Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 The pic with the stand looks especially shopped. Quote
Loop Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Yeah that is not the same base as the YF-21. The arm part is, but the base looks wrong. Quote
MikeRoz Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Coincidence that the new page banner prominently features a Roy -1S? I think not. Quote
Mommar Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 It also shows the SDFM SDF-1, should we assume they're making one of those too? Quote
Loop Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Coincidence that the new page banner prominently features a Roy -1S? I think not. But there is no announcement on the main page here: http://www.macrossworld.com/ Why would it mean anything related to this subject? Roy is probably the most famous and recognized character of the SDF-1 series and DYRL movie. Quote
EXO Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Mr K tweeted this last July 9 https://twitter.com/Mrk_arcadia/status/354800553261420544/photo/1 Quote
Loop Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Aha, now we are getting somewhere. I was not watching Mr K's tweets. I figured it would be on the Arcadia blog or main site. Quote
Xigfrid Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 This is a good thing to keep the VF-1S Roy manufactured, and it would be a good idea to add the Ikaru version also because they are both the most popular and desired toys amongst the Macross series when you start the collection. Concerning the release from Arcadia, it seems that it would also come with option parts (cover under arms as seen in the 1st picture). Quote
Loop Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Looking at his twitter pics, is he building the Bandai kit? This is a good thing to keep the VF-1S Roy manufactured, and it would be a good idea to add the Ikaru version also because they are both the most popular and desired toys amongst the Macross series when you start the collection. Concerning the release from Arcadia, it seems that it would also come with option parts (cover under arms as seen in the 1st picture). Yes, but at what price? I am so used to the VF-1 being the inexpensive staple valk. Quote
Loop Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 So what makes it a "Special movie version" ? The option parts? Quote
Scyla Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 If this is official I might consider a buy. Especially since I don't have a V2 VF-1 from Yamato. I don't know if I prefer the DYRL? Skull Squadron or the SDF Vermilion Squadron. I like the gray color and the consistent markings as well as the Strike Parts better on the DYRL? Squadron but on the other hand the SDF Squad + Roy has a VF-1J whose head unit I adore and since the four planes include a VF-1S, VF-1J and two VF-1As you get more variations.... and no strike cannons. So I guess DYRL? yay! Quote
Loop Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Yes, because the MW banner changed it is confirmed the SDF-1 TV release is in 2014... Mr K said so through the great oracle banner of MW. Edited July 21, 2013 by Loop Quote
Xigfrid Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Looking at his twitter pics, is he building the Bandai kit? Yes, but at what price? I am so used to the VF-1 being the inexpensive staple valk. It's true that Arcadia prices are a step up more expensive than the Yamatos, but I guess this is the price we will have to pay to convince Arcadia to develop new molds on Macross lincense Quote

EXO Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 That's just a coincidence that I changed the banner last night. I've been wanting to change it since 2012 ended and that was my first chance. While I'm waiting for Arcadia's official announcement before I even start to drool, I do think that the inclusion of a stand would make it that much more expensive. But at the way the market is going, is making a toy more expensive the right move? At prices like this, I think people will be fighting for it at the bargain bins or others will wait to see if there will be an unassembled version. Quote
TCracker Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 well, l'll be. I don't mind having another VF-1S Quote
Graham Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 One can never have too many VF-1S. Although at that price, maybe Arcadia should change the name to VF-1$ Graham Quote
Rabidweezil Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 One can never have too many VF-1S. Although at that price, maybe Arcadia should change the name to VF-1$ Graham Nice one Graham. However, if it's a sign of things to come, perhaps it might be more fitting to cover all the releases by just calling the whole series "Macro$$" Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Someone ask Mr K about that picture and he said it was an old Yamato Roy of his own that he was swooshing around and at the moment he wasn't aware of a reissue or something; well, that's what I interpreted from google translate. Quote
