I'll use them if I have to, but they will not be my first choice. Also, check for the following: One of my two stands has this issue. Its minor so I think I'll keep it. I'll just need to swap it to the rear side. Same here, 1 of 2 and the same exact bit (left side, upward facing). Quote

Mommar Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 I'm assuming the 0D is going to be one of those "2019" releases that happens the very last week of the year so realistically it's a 2020 release. Quote

I suppose I'd pick up a super ostrich if they put one out there. I've never shared the same passion for the SO or Elintseeker that many have. I'd prefer the Hikaru 1J (GBP or no!), a brownie of any variety and/or a 1D. Quote
Lolicon Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 Highly doubt a brownie 1A is in the cards anytime soon from Arcadia. Maybe in a few more years. A PF VT-1 is more likely, I reckon. Quote
Lolicon Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 Well now I really hope a PF VT-1 is next because the shoulders on my old Yamato VT-1 finally gave out on me. Super glued them together and they're holding okay, but they definitely are in a super fragile state now. I even sanded down the stupid knurled pins as best I could. Quote

I have repaired a few cracked (some totally disintegrated) shoulder joints with this :https://www.amazon.com/Loctite-Plastics-Bonding-Activator-681925/dp/B000Y3LHXW Much better than super glue and the repaired shoulder works as per normal. Enough friction to post the arm with no looseness. Quote

jeniusornome Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 I'd like to see a 1A/1D as their next release, along with a standalone set of VF-1 super parts. Outside of SDFM... did they get all of the Yamato molds? Wouldn't mind seeing some M+ releases from them - VF-11 and YF-21. Destroid reissues would be neat too. Are they working on anything new, or is all the new stuff going to be coming from Bandai at this point? Quote

No, it’s not the same as the Yamato release. It’s an all new mould. The 11 and 21 would be redone if they were ever released again. Quote

Are they working on anything new, or is all the new stuff going to be coming from Bandai at this point? So far the reissues/re-released done by Arcadia (from Yamato molds) were mostly VF-1's (VE-1 included), VF-19Kai, VF-4G and the SDF-1. The YF-19 and VF-0's were all produced with new molds including the upcoming SV-51. As for the Macross Plus Valks, we don't have any infornation nor clues if they have the molds from Yamato. But if they were going to do it, I hope they re-engineer it rather than re-release it. Those really need to be re-engineered esp the YF-21. Right now, Bandai is really ahead of the game when it comes to Macross since they produce toys from Frontier to the latest series and it's more accessible to newer generations. While Arcadia is just relying to older generation of fans assuming that they still hold license from SDFM to Mac+. And still depends on which Valkyrie model to sell since they just limit their production compared to Bandai's. Quote

no3Ljm Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Here's Arcadia's list of display for the upcoming WonderFest 2019 Summer in July 28, 2019. Macross: - 1/60 SV-51y D.D. Ivanov Unit - 1/60 VF-0D Shin Unit [Premium Finish] - New item Megazone 23 - 1/24 Proto-Garland (Diecast) - 1/24 Hargan (Diecast) - 1/24 Transporter https://arcadia.ac/user_data/wf2019summer.php Quote
borgified Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 The VF-1d was issued by Yamato and Arcadia has not done it yet. Well since the VE-1 is out, the guessing game is either the VT-1, SV-51 Nora and the CF version including the VF-1d to be re-engineered. Quote

I don't think Arcadia is going to waste budget on having the VF-1D re-engineered. I mean, they've already re-released some VF-1's using the old (probably refined existing Yamato) molds for them to do some rework on VF-1D (VT-1 included). Edited July 14, 2019 by no3Ljm Quote
technoblue Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 It's hard to believe that the last release of the VF-1D was Yamato's 30th Anniversary box from 2012. The VT-1 is higher on my wish list, though, especially if Arcadia is going to stick with straight reissues and the premium finish stuff. If they start adding updated or extra figs to future VF-1s, like they did with the YF-19 and the VF-19 Kai, that would be a little more tempting. Quote
Chronocidal Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Yeah, I think the top item on my list at the moment is a PF VT-1, preferably with duty-uniformed Hikaru and Misa. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 Well, those 0D parts certainly look to be a paler blue than the non-PF version. Quote

wmkjr Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) Looks weathered and panel lined to me going by the chest piece, the intakes, and the back of the legs where the tailfins go. Edited July 19, 2019 by wmkjr Quote

I didn't bought any of their previous PF's and I'm not going to just because I like that shade of blue on the VF-0D. I'm just saddened to see that they're really going on the old blue color which we didn't get. And coated or not, that blue is totally different from the non-PF version. Quote
SuperHobo Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 The shade of blue looks better this time, but will the hands crack at the wrist and knuckle joints down the road? Will they seal the paint to withstand multiple transformation cycles? Quote
Slave IV Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 I have an HLJ coupon too...Only thing is it will probably still be cheaper to get anything from NY. Quote
