Phangry Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 I just saw HLJ tweet about this release. Can't say I'm not a little surprised, but pleasantly so. Quote

So money save for me. I only wanted the Sound Booster somehow but I don't think I can get one for less than US100. Quote

Alex GS Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 PO'd from AmiAmi, always wanted one of this since ever, but couldn't get one cause the high prices. Quote

But 68k is too high, even for me. But really happy it's being reissued! Quote

Chronocidal Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 You know what, I'll bite, for the fancier gold paint. That's even less than I actually paid for the original Yamato Fire Valk on its own. Quote

Looks like that and the 19P that went up with it are both gone, presumably sold. [edit] Nevermind, they're back. Edited March 28, 2023 by Sanity is Optional Quote
Scyla Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 Wohoo, count me in. I was just looking at one on Mandarake. Good thing I waited. It is time to add another entry into my good fortune diary. Quote

[edit] Nevermind, they're back. I kind of hope they re-release the VF-19P alongside the VF-5000.. whenever that one happens. The one I'm STILL waiting for is a VF-19F from the Master File though, just the plain white one with black stripes. It would make such a good base for customs. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 Originally release in May 2011. So years later we get a release. I love this design, but c’mon gives us something really new. Not complaining, I am just hoping for something really new. Fix those gappy fighter knees, ratchet the ankles properly, and throw in a side of McD’s fries for god’s sake. 😜 Quote

I'm absolutely down for a 19P, actually prefer it over Ronald McValk. Quote
MKT Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 Skipping this, as I have already have it. But also feeling excited for anyone else getting this reissue. Quote
technoblue Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 I skipped this set the first time too, and I sold off all my Yamato Macross 7 Valks a while ago. The 19P Excalibur would have been a fun surprise to herald another VF-5000 update, but this sure is tempting. Quote

I'm also down for the VF-19P as long that the finish is matte this time. It doesn't have to be Premium Finish as long that it's matte. Edited March 28, 2023 by no3Ljm Quote
Gabe Q Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 I was looking through the beginning of this thread and I noticed quite a few posts about how the earlier releases of these were shelf warmers. They were being heavily discounted and then, fast forward to recently, the prices for these on the secondary market were very high. Seems like we might see the same thing this time around? I mean, if I wait, will I get a better price? I only mention it because I see some people saying they'll pass on this release. I guess I'll never understand how the market works on these. Quote
Slave IV Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) Since Arcadia releases are somewhat made to order (mainly on the retail shop end), there is no preorder madness and depending on the release, there can often be remaining stock after the initial release date. Discounts will depend on the retailer and how quickly they want to clear their space. HOWEVER, due to the niche appeal, overall numbers for Macross products is relatively very low compared to something like Gundam so once the initial stock is sold out, prices are almost always sure to go up. Especially in the cases of "shelf-warmers", their initial numbers were probably even lower to begin with, making them the most rare items in the long run, leading to the highest prices in the long run. Happens pretty much consistently through the history of Macross toys. Edited March 28, 2023 by Slave IV Quote
sh9000 Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 I already have the individual releases of the Valk and Sound Booster so I think I'm getting this mainly for the little figures. Quote

I remember way back seeing the Zola for $120ish on ebay at one point. Good luck now lol Quote
optimuspint Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 Does anyone have any insight on if these are going to be offered stateside like the Tomahawk and SV-51’s ? Quote

starkiller239 Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 As someone who doesn't have twitter, is this a picture from arcadia's warehouse? Quote
jenius Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 Probably receiving the first sample from the factory. Quote
Bolt Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 That sounds right. She's pretty plain Jane, isn't she..? Quote
David Hingtgen Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 Shoulders don't match the rest of the fuselage very well, they're quite a bit lighter/brighter shade of red. But that's partly what samples are for checking... Quote
Sandman Posted May 13, 2023 Posted May 13, 2023 The gold parts look more yellow than gold. Hope it's more of a camera thing, I want the gold trim rather yellow since i missed out on the prior release. Quote

Froy Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 Have Acadia given a word about the trims being yellow or gold? I would like to change my gold trims one for the one with the yellow ones but the product photos at HLJ show one with the gold trims. I guess this one is just a test shot for the assembly and not the colors. Quote

I wonder if it’s made by Groove Garage & if it’s worth getting one.. Quote
