jvmacross Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Interestingly, the Armored VF-1J is in TV colours. LOL! Where's Treatment? Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 It mentions the VF-2SS, the VF-0A and the VF-4 but with links at the end of the article and as separate pieces of news. Guys, bandai IS NOT MAKING 1/100 VF-4, VF-2SS and VF-0A and a 1/60 YF-19. You are mixing the info on the article. that article is confusing Quote

The article in sharky's link has hypertext links, as you say, but they do not go to separate news stories. They go to the ANN pages for the particular Macross series/ova. Do you have the links to the other news stories? Quote
sharky Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) What's confusing? He simply mentions that it was teased that they are possible releases. Doesn't look like it's confirmed. The links look like they are simply there to give general info on the anime in case someone didn't know what Macros II is. Edited October 29, 2015 by sharky Quote
jvmacross Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I'm thinking everything in that initial diorama pic is going to be a general release....anything else may end up as web exclusives... So maybe web exclusives will be: Reguld missile pack add-ons Reguld Scout Tomahawk Defender Phalanx Quedluun-Rau Nousjadeul-Ger Other VF-1 variants....like TV Max and Kakizaki This Hi-Metal R line has the potential to become really prolific and complete..... With the VE-1 and VT-1....the only DYRL VF-1 variant missing (between the HM and HMR lines) will be the VF-1S Max....that's amazing! And how difficult would it be for Bandai to make a DYRL version of the Reguld? Another Web exclusive? Better yet....with their sudden show of affection for all things Macross...one can imagine even DYRL versions of the Quedluun-Rau and Nousjadeul-Ger....a fool's hope, but a hope nonetheless! HELL to the M-F'ING YEAH!!! Well Golly! Best. Day. Ever. Quote
Tking22 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 So yea this is all really amazing news, and now, I have zero reason to own any 1/60 stuff. I'll be selling my pink Arcadia 1J, and I've cancelled my Arcadia VF-4 pre-order, if there's a chance we're getting one in the Hi-Metal line, I won't even bother with Arcadia's expensive version, especially since I really only like one mode. In fact, ditto with the 0A, I was interested in an Arcadia VF-0, but they are charging far too much, and their QC is far too spotty for me, once again, if I can get one in the Hi-Metal line I'll be very pleased, I'm officially not even looking at whatever Arcadia announces from here on out, Bandai is truly attempting to put them out of their over-priced misery., and I'm very happy for it.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 oh yeah! kaki to the rescue Quote
EXO Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Damn them all. What have you done!!! You've announced... Quote
jenius Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I think there is confusion between teasing possibilities and making announcements. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 LOL - among other issues with Bandai releases, good luck ordering these things, if they ever come out. I'm happy that Bandai is interested in Macross again, but by no means do I want Arcadia out of the game and there is no way in hell that a Hi Metal R will supplant a corresponding Yamato/Arcadia release. People can have such short memories. -b. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 i want breetai to smash my kaki's head. that figure is awesome. Quote

EXO Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 How about letting us enjoy the moment before pulling the rug from under us. That's the point of the "teasers" isn't it? Quote

As fond as I am of my 1/60-scale Valkyries, there is a good argument here for downsizing. As the HM-R line continues to take off, it gets harder for me to ignore that argument. The only issue will be with the pre-orders. Bandai's have been notoriously difficult to make here on the east coast unless I'm into losing sleep that night or big on setting my alarm at odd hours and waking up everyone else in the house. I do think 1/100 is a great scale for squadrons, especially if Bandai is able to complete them where Arcadia has been reluctant to do so. Quote

Valkyrie addict Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 My wallet is having a heart attack I guess I'm finally gonna to dwell into this Hi-metal line! Quote
Scyla Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I think there is confusion between teasing possibilities and making announcements. Yeah, that VF100 teaser poster looked very promising. Quote
Bolt Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Looks like Bandai has created a Hi metal R singularity that's gonna suck us all iiiiiiinnn..where's the light? Quote
technoblue Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 You're gonna need more room for that 1/32 VF-1J... lol. But less room than that 1/1800 SDF-1. I'll find a corner. Quote

no3Ljm Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Seems everyone is losing their heads on this announcement. But I'm excited for you guys. Looking forward to see everyone's 1/60 Yamato/Arcadia collection in the For Sale thread... very soon. Quote

seti88 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 IT was a mad mad day with delta trailers and when the anime news article came out on the further bandai himetal and 1/60 the forum basically went particle beam cannon Quote
jvmacross Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 May as well post the pics.... I'm wondering if based on "votes" (FINALLY! This is what Arcadia should have done when they came out of the rubble of Yamato)......they will decide what gets a general release and what gets bumped to websclusive? Would make good business sense... Quote

And we only have to rely on what the Japanese wants based on local residence votes if this ever happens. Quote

And we only have to rely on what the Japanese wants based on local residence votes if this ever happens. Not too worried about this...if you take a look at the "voting" picks....only the VF-1D, Scout, Phalanx, both N-Gers, and the Q-Rau did not get physically represented....which means the rest have....and how difficult would it be to retool the VF-1D a bit and the Scout, and Phalanx.....which means I would expect some, if not all, the enemy mechs to get websclusive treatment....I have high hopes of seeing everything made at some point..... I think Bandai has basically cleared the table for their 1/60-ish line to be all about their new show, MD.....and this HMR line will be mainly for Legacy valks like the VF-1 and everything else pre-MD.......Also, to me the fact that they are doing a 1/35 VF-1....means Arcadia may have still managed to keep the 1/60 license.....we should know soon enough.....

Ok. So that 1/35 is TRUE. Thanks jvmacross! Just confirming it. Time to save money $1 a day. Hahaha! Quote
jenius Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I would think if Bandai is doing vf1 toys they'd be keen on eliminating competition so I think you can stick a fork in Arcadia vf1 hopes but time will tell. These destroys look amazing, I hope we have an opportunity to get them soon. Quote
