no3Ljm Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 I do want to keep my hopes high on that posted SDF-1. But until Mr.K or Arcadia makes an official announcement, I'm going to treat that Taobao site sketchy. Quote
treatment Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Mr K said they got 10 molds from Yamato. He didn't say which but I'd assume the 10 most recent molds were probably taken. He did mention the 1/48 is not one of them since the molds are broken. 10 Macross-related moulds or 10 general moulds from Yamato? Iirc, Arcadia's re-releasing the Garland or something, so that might count against that "10" moulds stuff. Quote
jenius Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Nah, that Garland is a brand new sculpt. Quote
confuseguy Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Very dubious...the description still mentioned "yamato", most likely just a copy and paste from old promo....I think the seller is trying to catch attention for collectors who miss out the SDF-1. Seller is ard since 2011 with many positive feedback. Looks legit to me.Well. who knows? Thats 10 months away. Lets see. Edited September 7, 2016 by confuseguy Quote
ZorClone Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Hmm... if I were to spend 35,000 yen on a Macross collectable, would I rather it be an SDF-1 or a 1/35 VF-1? Quote
jenius Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 If Arcadia really does reissue the SDF-1, I hope they give it a proper box like they have been with their other reissues. The box of the first toy really peeves me. A high end collectible in a box that seems a bit too small and is super flimsy... it's a bummer. Quote
erizai Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Hmm... if I were to spend 35,000 yen on a Macross collectable, would I rather it be an SDF-1 or a 1/35 VF-1? When in doubt, get both... Agreed the packaging need to be improved, costing this high the box should let the customer to feel buying a masterpiece instead of cheap toy... Quote
treatment Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Agreed the packaging need to be improved, costing this high the box should let the customer to feel buying a masterpiece instead of cheap toy... Maybe Arcadia will just brown-bag it like Bandai currently does with their TWEs... Quote
Lolicon Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 It'll be a retail box in a brown box in another brown box which will then be shipped in an even larger brown box after NY asks for additional payment for shipping charges. Quote
treatment Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 My wallet's ready for the Super M&M''s reissue, Arcadia edition. It'll prolly be moar ready if they don't try to bundle it together for the ultimate sticker-shock... Quote

It'll prolly be moar ready if they don't try to bundle it together for the ultimate sticker-shock... if they do release em its kinda close to the HMR's....bandai already got my wallet for max/milla..scale differences aside of course... Unless they price it cheaper, which would be the day when we start seeing pigs piloting valks Quote

Unless they price it cheaper, which would be the day when we start seeing pigs piloting valks I'm expecting at least 20k-yen for each. After po-discounts. We can all fervently wish we can get each at 15k-yen on po, at least... Quote

In today's market I don't think both figures will have that Y35000 price tag. 1/3000 SDF-1 reissue would probably cost double the original price. DX 1/35 VF-1 is probably the same price range too. Remember how much the Chogokin Figuarts Hulkbuster when it came out? It's around Y35000. So 1/35 scaled transformable VF-1 will cost more than that for sure. Quote

I'm a bit more optimistic now that Arcadia would not double the price of the 1/3000 SDF-1. If Arcadia ever really reissue it. Just mainly due to the recent msrp of the VF-4G reissue. Quote

A new 1/3000 SDF-1 would likely cost the same as the old one. Quote
spanner Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 I would have already pulled the trigger on a 1:3000 SDF-1 and spent upwards or over $1000 but the fact there is (even if only slight) chance Arcadia will re-issue it AND the fact its DYRL and not my preferred TV version are factors that have held me back.. But.. if Arcadia do re-issue it and its around 30 to 35k then even though its the DYRL version I'd definitely buy it! Quote
erizai Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) My crystal ball tell me 42000 yen, SDF1 Edited September 16, 2016 by erizai Quote
spanner Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 My crystal ball tell me 42000 yen, SDF1 my crystal ball let me down too many times so I threw it against the wall and it exploded into a thousand little pieces! even so 42k yen is the better part of $550 aud! i'd probably still buy it though! goes to show how weak the aussie dollar is as 42k yen is $410 usd..

Just mainly due to the recent msrp of the VF-4G reissue. True. And I want to be optimistic as well. But we can't just compare it to the VF-4G reissue, right? Look at the recent VF-1S + SSP reissue as an example. Was that the same MSRP back then? And that's more recent than the VF-4G. What I'm just saying is that I want to be prepared also if they announce a reissue only to say that this time the price is doubled. Then I don't need to get mad and start bashing Arcadia once again. But if they do price it the same, then I guess all of us needs to celebrate then. Quote
treatment Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Has Mr.K twatted anything about the 1/3000 SDF-1? Some of you that follows him maybe should ask him about it. Quote

thetrollphysicist Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) If Bandai Released a Chogokin toy for VF-22 to make money from Delta, i think Arcadia would also do the same, either a re-do version of the YF-21 or the entire VF-22 line with better gimmicks Edited September 17, 2016 by thetrollphysicist Quote
jenius Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 I don't think BW would allow it. There was some weird stuff with the Yamato collapse but with all new stuff I think BW would be more vigilant. Quote

Bub Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 My answer is still VF-1S Hikaru Strike. Thank you. Quote
Phobos Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 I would pay lots of monies for a 1/60 YF-21 reissue. It's the only thing i'm missing Quote
Xigfrid Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 The old 21 can still be found there and there. And at an affordable price in general Quote
Mazinger Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 I would pay lots of monies for a 1/60 YF-21 reissue. It's the only thing i'm missing Well, if you are not picky about it being an Arcadia release, you could probably get a first edition release for under $70. Those early ones come up quite a bit. For example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/YF-21-ADVANCED-VARIABLE-FIGHTER-MACROSS-1994-Complete-w-Original-Box-Yamato-/302069796504 Quote

Quote
warrhead Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 It kills me that Arcadia are so conservative with their releases while all of the other companies are striking while the Macross irons are hot. It's as if they are trying not to make mistakes Yamato made, but over-correcting, all while Macross fandom seems to be steadily growing/reviving. Yamato was early to the party, and now it appears as though Arcadia might not be late per se, but they're definitely dragging their feet. Quote
thetrollphysicist Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Just asked Mr K about the possibility for SV-51 renewal today, he said its very likely to happen, and he would glad if Macross fans can support him to make Arcadia redo the older Yamato SV-51. Quote
