Not bad! Looks like there’s storage under the “hatch.”

Now: will they charge ¥10,000 for this?

Possible that Arcadia will go in hold-my-beer mode when they saw the original still getting scalped at ami and/or manda for almost 10k-yen used/abused...

that's exciting, these were so hard to get

I know. I really like to have that old arm stand before. But I didn't since it's expensive to get. So hopefully this time the price is somewhere around $40+/-.

I can see them pricing these at 8998 yen.

But i won’t get these unless they are on sale, have the original ones before and don’t like them since they are suppose to grab onto the top of the fast pack instead of the bottom.

Yeah. 4K is a good price for it. With all the VF-1's that they have reissued, I think it's really about time for them to start reproducing again those arm stands.

What did they charge for their clear stand alone display stand? Hopefully they don't have to pay much for licensing right for the launch arm design but there's that and and the added complexity of the arm and all its bits. My guess is 6,500¥.

Unless the new Launch Arm can actually finally do the proper anime-accurate grab-mode with the claws, I rather they just re-release the recent Clear-Stand and/or resurrect the Mighty Block stands (possibly super-size it a bit) instead.

Yeah. The Mighty Block would be a good alternative from the Arm Stand. ;)

I picked up one of those awhile back and I like it way more than the launch arm stand. It's a basic stand that can't bank or do anything fancy, but I just use Yeti stands for that.

Expand  

i think can definitely bank a valk...

Hehe i just posted a pic in the DX thread with the gears down!

Those yammie clear stands look cool. 

Bandai's stand were a throwback to NASA's/USAF(?) flight displays with the arching arm....

 

And as always yeti's stand are the standard for macross valks!

I think that it's fair to say that all of us will be on the edge of the upcoming SV-51 price wise as we all know how Arcadia works.

First with the regular release to get sales and interest and then "WHAM" the Premium version follows out a few years later as we all look back at the VF-1 and the SDF-1.

[Actually not to give Arcadia ideas: I haven't seen a PE Version of the VF-1J with the GBP. You can toss me into the frying pan with that idea folks. :blink:]

Honestly?  I want a PF version of Hikaru's 1J with super packs.  My ideal set would be 6 PF valks: Hikaru and M&M 1Js (all with supers), a CF with supers, a 1D (with supers for fun), and a TV Roy with super packs.  We've only gotten two of those so far.

Maybe I will be more excited about the SV-51 when more information comes around but at the moment I'm not really interested.

I'm still dreaming about my VF-4 Hikaru...

Same. After a good think, I'm passing on the SV-51 for now. Waiting for Arcadia's next big thing, which I hope they can get to some day.

I have nightmares thinking about the cost of the SV-51.

Let's speculate for a bit, shall we? And let's use the actual Arcadia price and not the discounted PO price. So we're more prepared and it's realistic. ;) The VF-0S and VF-0D came out last 2015 for Y37584 and Y39774 for the latter. VF-0S Premium Finish released last year for Y41904. I guess, it's just safe to assume that the SV-51 is going to be on that VF-0S PF price range. It's an overkill if they price it above Y48000. I'm not sure if I can afford it. :unsure:

Hey David. If ever the price point is like Y48000. Are you planning on getting more than 2 units?

Me too. I'm still wishing and waiting for an Arcadia VF-4 Flashback Ver. :angel:

If your hypothesis is correct @no3Ljm, I think that a fair bit of us that wants the newer SV-51 will be disappointed on the killer price; however Arcadia is focusing on the market for people that are willing to folk $$ for the products that they want it (just remembered my commercial property terminology now: psychographics).

I think they know that at each 10k there's a pretty huge drop off in interest. I sincerely doubt they'll go over 39,999. I think they'll cancel the project before they go that high...
