no3Ljm Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Ok. Looks like Arcadia will unveil another (not-so) Premium Finish release on the WonFest 2019 event besides the other display items such as the upcoming SV-51 Ivanov, VE-1 Elintseeker Premium Finish, and the Variable Stand. Seeing that the Ivanov doesn't have the PF term on the listing, I'm assuming they will release a regular version first(?). Quote

Expand That's going to make us double dip for both copies of Ivanoff's 51 (regular and PE) for those that want it which we know well. Get the regular and then the PE which makes us sell off the regular version afterwards? Can't wait to see the pics of the semi-finished 51 and the PE VE-1 during WonderFest. I'm more interested in the PE VE-1 than the 51 honestly speaking. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Any guesses on the new premium finish announcement? VF-1J GBP? VF-0D? VF-0A? VF-1D? Quote

technoblue Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 I would welcome multiple premium finish announcements, if Arcadia were to be so bold later this week. If the VT-1 is announced, I'll have to shout out a "woot!" or two. Same if Max's 1A or 1S are announced, or the VF-0D...All are long shots, I think... Quote

Expand It is not like I particularly want them to do a PF version of the VF-4G, but when you consider that they did PF versions of VF-1S Roy, VF-1S Hikaru, VF-1J Miria, VF-1J Max, VF-0, and SDF-1.... all of which had prior Arcadia non-PF releases... I think the PF VF-4G is kind of likely. The PF VE-1 technically does not break this pattern, given that the really was never a non-PF VE-1, since the original Yamato release was effectively a PF, with all the tampo printing it got.

wmkjr Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 I'm guessing PF VF-0D and a display of previous PF releases. As for the SV-51, I wouldn't pay the extra markup for a PF SV-51 for such a small amount of tampo compared to the VF-1 and VF-0 sets. I don't think there were too much to add for a PF since the sticker sheet was small and most of it (like Ivanov's logo and the Anti UN logo) were already tampo'd. Quote
jenius Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Here's my list of what I think is most likely PF announcement from most to least: 1) Hikaru 1J (GBP or super) 2) Shin 0A 3) Shin 0D 4) VT-1 Quote

eggy99 Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 As much as I'd love to see a PF VF-0D or PF VF-4 FB, I would not be able to afford the premium on top of the already expensive Arcadia base price for these toys. I'll save my money for the inevitable DX VF-1 releases instead. Quote
no3Ljm Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Actually, for me, the only thing that I'm looking forward to from Arcadia's WonderFest photos is just the SV-51 Ivanov. I'm actually burned out now from VF-1's. The only VF-1's that I'm looking forward to is DX Hikaru VF-1A/S. Quote

no3Ljm Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 So who purchased from Arcadia's campaign when it opened earlier? Based on the listings, these are the only ones you can add to your cart: - VF-1J Max - VF-1J Max Premium Finish - VF-1J Millia - VF-1J Millia Premium Finish - VF-0 Reactive Armor - VF-0 Reactive Armor Kit - VF-0S Roy Premium Finish Again, do note that this is Ship to Japan only.

Chronocidal Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 If Arcadia pops up with a PF VF-1J Hikaru, I might bite, but I'd prefer the supers to the GBP, just because I want a PF set of generic TV super packs. I wonder if Arcadia would consider releasing PF super/strike packs? Strike probably not due to the variety of skull markings, but they could easily mass produce the standard TV packs with the kite printed on them. I'd probably buy three or four sets of those. Quote
easnoddy Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 So disappointed with the lack of tampo on the 35th anniversary valkyrie. Same goes for the 30th. Quote

Arkham Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Speaking of Arcadia Stickers.... last time I applied a sticker to something was before the Internet..... Is there a video, tutorial, recommendation of any kind on how to apply those? I'm like very very hesitant to do it in terror of screwing it, but on the other hand, I really miss the kite on the Super Packs and some other details. Quote
