Chronocidal Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 I'd take a PF YF-21 in a heartbeat, if only to put the pressure on Bandai to do their version justice. They (mostly) nailed the YF-19, and I would love to see them improve on how well that one turned out (hopefully with about 50% less obnoxious tampo splatter ). Quote

That's cool but then they have to fix the cracking inner thigh problem and release the weathered YF-19 they announced years ago first. Expand Indeed, I've been waiting for Arcadia to release a YF-21, or even a VF-22S There's enough repaints of the VF-1, so why not give the YF-19 some more love and release a repaint in the VF-19A and VF-19E color scheme?

Expand Both of these would be welcome provided Arcadia actually fixed their terrible ankle design. Adding an extra click at the intake joint for better Getwalk a la Bandai’s 19 would be great as well. Quote

I still keep around the 1/72 because they won't release this recolor. Expand I used to have the VF-19A, but sold it off when Yamato released the revised 1/60 scale YF-19, in the hope that a VF-19A would be rereleased in that color scheme. Unfortunately, that never materialized and we got the Bird of Prey and the Double Nuts. Both of them are nice, but I don't see why they couldn't have gone back and released a VF-19A? My next option is to buy a used (broken) Yamato YF-19 and repaint it into a VF-19A. Other than the color scheme, were there any other cosmetic changes made to the design? I wonder if Bandai or Arcadia will be releasing a 1/60 scale VF-11B and/or C sometime in the future? Edited November 27, 2020 by cypherzero Skipped a sentence. Quote

peter Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 Deal alert: Arcadia 1/60 VF-1J GBP on sale for 18,362 JPY over at AmiAmi Wasn't sure where else to post this. Quote
borgified Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 I saw that on Amiami early this morning. Possibly that they want to move stock out the warehouse and it says 16 left on Amazon.jp at 18,830 yen Quote
treatment Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 heh! I was just gonna post the amjp deal stuff: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B086QVMXDP/ https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B086QVMXDP/ No grey-goggles and is rather bereft of the old tampo details from previous Yammie and Arcadia variants, but no annoying WTF self-detaching t-bar shenanigan and other annoyances of the DX. Still actually the best valkyrie toy to own and play with. Good balance in aesthetic, engineering mechanics, and fun factors overall. Quote

borgified Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 I don't know if this is the right thread to post this as its a given that Arcadia posts their own Macross stuff that's to be released soon, however Wonderfest has been cancelled for this year due to unfortunate world wide events that have been happening. https://wonfes.jp So no doubt that Arcadia's VF-4 (normal and PF released has been delayed), possible teased VT-1 (in premium format?), Nora's regular SV-51 etc, has been put on hold.

I was thinking if I was to get the PF, it’s one thing I’d go for at NY or wait to see if it goes on clearance like some of the other PFs eventually did. Quote
