Falcon18 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Valk itself is fully transformable. But once you put on the armor, it stays in battroid. Quote
firefly Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Valk itself is fully transformable. But once you put on the armor, it stays in battroid. Ok thanks, i hope because we see only it in battroid mode, no pics in fighter mode and parts separately. Regards Quote
chyll2 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Ok thanks, i hope because we see only it in battroid mode, no pics in fighter mode and parts separately. Regards there is no need for hoping. It is a re-use of the Yamato molds with the same underlying 1J version 2 inside. Quote
Falcon18 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Pretty much what chyll2 said. You don't have to worry. It's still the same 1J like it was from Yamato. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 They will probably add a stand and hopefully waterslide decals to justify and exhorbitant price increase. Quote
Loop Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) I decided I will just stick to the one I bought with the separate VF-1J and the missile effect parts armor set. I really don't need another one of these for now. Edited December 10, 2014 by Loop Quote
Falcon18 Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 They will probably add a stand and hopefully waterslide decals to justify and exhorbitant price increase. Or add neither of them.. I'm looking at you YF-19. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Just for confirmation, has there been an official announcement from Arcadia on price and/or included accessories? -b. Quote
chyll2 Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Just for confirmation, has there been an official announcement from Arcadia on price and/or included accessories? -b. Nothing confirmed yet. The only thing confirmed, I think, is that it will never have gray goggles Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 ^Ha ha ha ha ha. I actually wanted grey goggles too, but not that big of a deal. They can however certainly leave out those TV clown hands, hate those. -b. Quote
Sildani Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Also confirmed, no launched missile parts. Quote
ZDZIYO Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 I want then to include 10 stands maybe that can justify the price. Quote
jenius Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Has the price been announced? No, but that is no reason not to start complaining about it. We might be able to back into the MSRP. Let's try: The Arcadia VF-1S with stand cost 16,800 Yen The Arcadia stand sales for 2,700 Yen Had Arcadia sold the VF-1S without the stand it should have retailed for about 14,100 Yen A Yamato VF-1 sold for 9,800 Yen That means Arcadia did a mark of 4,300 Yen or roughly 44% The Yamato GBP giftset originally retailed for 16,800 Yen Adding the 7400 Yen (rounidng) and you get 24,200 Yen as the expected retail price if a stand isn't included, 26,900 if a stand is included, and 51,200 Yen if they're going to include 10 stands.

wmkjr Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) *Snip* The Arcadia VF-1S with Super parts and stand cost 16,800 Yen Huh? I thought Arcadia didn't sell the VF-1S with supers? Only the YF-19 had FAST packs or did I order the wrong ones? I'd say about 28500 for this one. Edited December 14, 2014 by wmkjr Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Have I missed something? Arcadia's VF -1S didn't come with super parts, so it's more than 10% mark up. I do agree we shouldn't start complaining about the price. Quote
jenius Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) Ah crap... hold on, let me get back out my abacus and redo the math... Updated! Edited December 14, 2014 by jenius Quote
wmkjr Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) From comparing the list prices on the Yamato's versus Arcadia's and adjusting for the price increase percentages I'd say it'd be about 27100yen before retail discounts and 24300 at HLJ. edit: Jenius did the estimates already and I didn't factor out the stands in the initial estimates. Edited December 14, 2014 by wmkjr Quote
Gakken85 Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 It'll be at least $200 no doubt. I think $250 on discount would be a safe bet. Quote

You guys are way too optimistic. Arcadia will charge between 36500y and 44,200y for this. Without a stand or grey goggles or dyrl hands... Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Easy pass for me since I have the Yamato version too, though getting a new Valkyrie is always fun to get. I am running out of space. Quote
wmkjr Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) Okay, 36501 without stand, 44201 for grey goggles, and 47901 for the dyrl hands. Edited December 14, 2014 by wmkjr Quote
spanner Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 An included stand is very doubtful and the price will most likely be very similar to the 19Kai bundle re-issue price.. Quote
aaajin Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 So, since it is now pretty much confirmed that Arcadia will include 10 stands with this release, pretty sure the price of valks will be tenfold in 1-2 years. Imagine the demand spike when people start to realize that they NEED to hook a valk on each and every one of these stands. It's a brilliant marketing strategy, heck they should hand these stands for free on sidewalks. Pls dont take me too seriously. I was joking too... Quote
troyness Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I wonder if we'll get a PO at the beginning or end of January ? If early January , I'll have all my questions answered concerning : stand,hands,option parts. If late January, mild nerd angst awaiting answers for: stand,hands,option parts. Quote
War_Taker Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) Found this somewhere. Edited December 20, 2014 by War_Taker Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 that should confirm the type of hands it comes with. same exact thing as the yamato release. i doubt there's a stand packed in as well. Quote
treatment Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) Yeah, it does. It also says 25,704y (prolly japan sales-tax included). Still no stand and no dyrl-hands. Pointy-finger and fisted clown-hands, tho. I never got the original Yammie set, so I don't know if the old set included extra clown hands or whatever extras... Edited December 20, 2014 by treatment Quote
CoreyD Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 The yamato v2 armor came with extra clown hands, yeah. Quote
chyll2 Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) Yeah, it does. It also says 25,704y (prolly japan sales-tax included). Still no stand and no dyrl-hands. Pointy-finger and fisted clown-hands, tho. I never got the original Yammie set, so I don't know if the old set included extra clown hands or whatever extras... so without tax it is 23800 with standard 10% discount we are looking at 21420 yen. edit: I must say I am glad since my estimate was closer to 30k yen Edited December 20, 2014 by chyll2 Quote
spanner Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) May 2015 sounds good to me. More time to recover from xmas and other pre-ordered goodies! And 25,704 jpy is very reasonable too! might have to get me more than one! Edited December 20, 2014 by spanner76 Quote
Saburo Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 more time to recover from xmas and other pre-ordered goodies! Exactly! I am looking over my pre-orders schedule spreadsheet. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 edit: I must say I am glad since my estimate was closer to 30k yen same! Quote
