troyness Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 It's a weight training laser pointer. You'll build your biceps as you deliver your power point. You can also point it directly into your toilet bowl and evaluate your stool samples. Quote
aaajin Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Must be a limited production custom made unless theyre Willing to spend way to much money for toolings for that big hella gun that nobody wants at that price point. Unless they make it transformable, which makes it a GU-11 megatron? Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Reminds me of an episode of Archer (might have been the very 1st episode) where the answer to a very smart-ass/rhetorical question was "cosplay enthusiasts!". And well...yeah. -b. Quote
Mommar Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 No thanks, for 1K I can buy a much better/useful gun. Quote
valkfighter Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 arcadia will not survive they just want to go bankrupt like yamato releasing this kind of stuff and with that Price hahaha, who had this brilliant idea? ARCADIA, HELLO?? we want valkires not a single giant gun. what a waste of time and resources, re-release a vt-1 and many other versions instead of this boring thing Quote

ARCADIA, HELLO?? we want valkires not a single giant gun. what a waste of time and resources, re-release a vt-1 and many other versions instead of this boring thing If you don't want it, as I don't, that's all you have to say. Going on these strange tirades about how they're going to go bankrupt (it IS a Con exclusive, not a general release) doesn't do anybody any good. Quote
skullmilitia Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Calm down guys, they aren't for us, and just like the Boldoza's fortress, it will be sold out within the first hour. They aren't going Yamato. Lol. Quote
Reïvaj Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 There will also be a made to order Special Version that includes textured urethane paint, UNSPACY markings and strap. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 aha! indeed, companies always make WF exclusive stuff that they know will sale at no matter what price they put. That thing is truly a collectible for the hardcore. Quote
Rabidweezil Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 WF items are pretty much impossible to get for those that don't actually attend the event (even then it's still a challenge to obtain one). Honestly this thread title had me a little worried until I actually saw what the item was. So for those of you that are upset it's not something cooler, don't be. You probably wouldn't have been able to get it anyway. Quote
Frogze Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Cool item, I wish I could get one but if the impossibility of grabbing WF specials from outside Japan wasn't enough, the sub-orbital price tag and potential hassle of getting weapon-like replicas through customs are nullifying all chances to get it. It would look stunning next to some VF-1 helmets, too bad... Edited January 25, 2014 by Frogze Quote
xrentonx Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Hahah! Some people need to calm down up in this thread Quote
DarrinG Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 My wallet says - Phew! No interest. Now had they done something like a limited Alaska Base diorama - with 1/60 Spartan, Kitchen Sink and Alaska Base 1A set - that would be amazing. Where the plane could be lowered into the base and other creative features. But hey - like I said - I feel $1,000 richer that they decided to do this instead . . . Quote
Reïvaj Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 You may have one of these if you buy a VF-1S Roy Focker Special at WF: Source: Arcadia Quote
aaajin Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) are those even worth the hassle VS buying at a regular store? at the very least, the couldve given a 1/48 claudia figure...or a 1/48 Roy TV suit Edited January 29, 2014 by aaajin Quote

Valkyrie addict Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 are those even worth the hassle VS buying at a regular store? Collectors item than can later resell for much much more, like the VF-1S Bundle with the cheap 1 dollar LED flashlight that scalpers insist on selling for over 300 Quote
Loop Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Pfft, I canceled my pro order for this last month I can't remember how much the Nekki Basara guitar was, but I think it was a better value even though it was priced pretty high. Quote
aaajin Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 While it's not a bad idea I wonder why they should offer 1/48 figures with a 1/60 valk haha you got me there. yeah, why? but not sure if collectors are crazy about pin buttons in japan? Quote
Reïvaj Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 You don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Quote
aaajin Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I do hope the "gift horse" is indeed a gift, and not a way for them to charge more... Quote

aaajin Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 based on the translation, its a 20-unit limited production button-pins... アルカディアブースにて「VF-1S ロイ・フォッカースペシャル」をお買い上げ頂きますとプレゼントしちゃいます！20個限定なので是非ご検討下さいませー！ Google Translate : "You raffling when I purchase the "VF-1S Roy Focker Special" at Arcadia booth!

jenius Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Fairly certain you can make one of those yourself for a couple bucks if you wanted to. Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 $3.00 or less per button before shipping on Zazzle. Anyone want to make it happen? Quote
bforbryan Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Would be awesome if it were a super soaker. Quote
Gakken85 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Any other news from Wonderfest? Any more sneak peeks of the VF-0D? Quote
Gakken85 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Did this get posted anywhere: http://www.sukimono.info/ Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Sweeet DYRL suit, wasn't that Yamato's last project before going bust? Quote
