Kanedas Bike Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 When I get a feeling.. I get a feeeling ...such a feeling. Can't wait to see some more progress pics! -b. Quote
Mommar Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Mustache Feeling? Sounds like the second prototype is almost ready for testing. Quote
skullmilitia Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Wow such feeling many prorotype type grain made of china Quote
505thAirborne Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Its a contagious feeling and a good one at that, bring on the Prototype Pics!! Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Yeah, release them so we can start complaining! Truly. -b. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Puny micronians always tend to complain! Well, you know how it is big guy. -b. Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 So what kind of price do you predict? Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 So what kind of price do you predict? The kind that will cause about 5 pages of complaints before pre-orders even open. Maybe 6. -b. Quote

Gakken85 Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) At least $250. But maybe cheaper due to it being a general release as reported. The old VF-0's sell for close to $200 used. Edited June 7, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote
skullmilitia Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 I'm saying right now, this is going to be roughly 28,000 Yen to 31,000 yen MSRP. So between 26-28,000 yen from suppliers. Brand new spanking mold optional payloads probably 3 figures (Shin, Edgar, and Shin helmetless) We can't base prices off the YF-19, because it did use some pre-existing tooling. Quote
mechaninac Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 The only things on the Arcadia YF-19 that I could identify as being the exact same as that used on Yamato's VF-19s are the landing gear struts, wheels and tires... nothing else is interchangeable (I haven't taken mine apart so I can't be sure that the ankle joints aren't the same too, but I believe they're not); hence, different tooling. By this token, it is possible that the new Arcadia VF-0D could reuse the same tooling for those specific parts, but I doubt they will after so many years since the previous VF-0s from Yamato. So, given the similar sizes, materials, volumes, amount of new design/engineering work, new tooling, etc., I think it's very appropriate to use the recent YF-19's MSRP as a basis for speculating on the price of next year's VF-0D, +/- ~2000 Yen. Quote
wm cheng Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 I think the new VF-0D is much more massive (central bulk) - just looking at my VF-0A and the new YF-19, its like a heavyweight vs. lightweight and the VF-0D looks even bigger with the solid delta wings. So just on the amount of "bulk" I would guess it would come in more expensive than the YF-19 (which does not bode well). The YF-19 has made me very cautious now for this upcoming release, especially if it will be even more expensive. Quote
Sandman Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Yeah the 0D will be at least as expensive as the yf-19. No way it will under that price. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 At least the 0 actually used wing-carried missiles in the anime, and they won't be forcing you to buy "concept art" with it like with the YF-19. Quote
ULessa Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 :X I want something from Arcadia but if its gonna cost $300 then pass :X Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 :X I want something from Arcadia but if its gonna cost $300 then pass :X As others have said, it's a sure bet that it will be close (on either side of $ 300). -b. Quote
Gakken85 Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Is Arcadia not at the Tokyo toy show? No pics? Quote
Kurisama Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I wonder if they ordered one of my shapeways add-ons and riffed off that? I will never know. Quote
EXO Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I wonder if they ordered one of my shapeways add-ons and riffed off that? I will never know. Yes... they did. Now you know... Quote
caslon Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I wonder if they ordered one of my shapeways add-ons and riffed off that? I will never know. I assume they would.. Quote
valhary Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 this pic clarifies for the people that say is a complete new mold because as far as you can see as the same and only new sculpt of wings, head and cockpit and change the material of the arms for die cast metal and hope come with a extra kit for of the latter for save the old yamato's Quote

Quote
Gakken85 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I'm not sure what you're suggesting? They are using the old mold with modifications?I don't think so. Quote

Tking22 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I may get one if the price is right, I no longer own any Macross Zero stuff, sold it all off. Such a shame that my re-issue VF-0S turned into a floppy mess of QC issues, as I said I'd like a 0D, but if it's over $300 I'm out, I'm pretty done with Macross valkyries until I can get my hands on a Hikaru 1J. Quote
eriku Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I look at that wing and feel quite happy....but then I remember how I'm probably not going to be buying any Macross toys until the D come out in a year or so and I feel quite sad. :| Quote
Chronocidal Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Even if the molds are entirely new, there is no reason they wouldn't use the old CAD files as a starting point, so there is a very good chance a lot of the parts will be nearly identical, even if the fit and finish are updated to current standards. I think it's actually amusing how similar the backpack is, since they just left the tail mounts as they were, and plugged the slots the tails fit into. Quote
valhary Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I hope maybe be a earlier prototype because look this Quote
