@apptt4 I don’t think the vt-1 has had a release with the improved shoulders yet, but basically, yes. 
 

In the gray market thread I recently wondered if they might have some VF-1 figures lined up to get a little money in the bank after having to sort out the SV-51 legs. Skip the PF, sell at a not-entirely-insane price, get some money back and be ready for whatever else they’ve got lined up. 

[Corrinald]

Got super excited for this until I realized it wasn't PF. More likely just trying to generate some easy income for them, but maybe the PF is to follow like they did with Max and Miriya?

[Lolicon]

Oh wow they're reissuing the GBP. Already have it but great for the folks who missed out. I'd be in for a PF edition of the GBP.

Edit: Sorry, link did work but now the item is unlisted. 

It's working again.    https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B086QVMXDP/

In for two of these. If they do a PF edition afterward, I'd be open to irresponsibly purchasing one of those as well.

And ordered. This will look good with the Yamato VF-1S 1/60 I got last month.

I like your style!

[DewPoint]

I've been holding out for PF version.  Assuming Arcadia follows past practices, I'll wait a bit to see if they Offer a PF version in a month or two.

[claude grant]

I wish they would do the missile effect parts again.

I'm also in that same boat and as for others that are waiting for the PF version.

Thanks for putting that up. What with the lack of tax and cheap international shipping that's the clear winner. About the same with DHL shipping as the HLJ one is without any shipping.

[Alphahorizon]

God I swore I wouldn't start down the VF-1 1/60 rabbit hole. Oh boy...here we goooooooo!!!

[technoblue]

Love my Arcadia GBP set. Happy to see a new generation of MW collectors will also get a chance to enjoy it.

Yamato's GBP set with the missile effect parts is sweet. I don't know if there is an easy way to package all those parts, the armour parts, and the 1J Valkyrie with the current GBP packaging but I would be so in for another (more so a PF version) if Arcadia decided to package it all together. The missile effect parts set from Yamato also has a lot of Tampo printing on the armour. I would be curious to see if Arcadia would change that up somehow. Some shading or weathering effects could be fun.

It's impossible to resist. They keep making them, we'll keep buying them.

No problem!  I gotchu fam.  I did the same thing.  Canceled my HLJ one for AJ.  Makes total sense.

Right?!!  Ugh... And I know I won't regret it.

[Alphahorizon]

The VF-1J is my favorite Valk design. Especially with the armor to boot!

[Alphahorizon]

And if it helps keep Arcadia afloat during these turbulent waters, then all the better. 

[sumyumgoy]

Dang, I can't say no to this.  Hoping for a PF finish also!

[borgified]

NY has the pre-order up.

[Rogueload]

No thanks. I’ll keep my Yamato GBP gray goggles version.  Anime accurate.  Now if they released a PF version that would persuade me. 

[borgified]

Since that a fair chunk of us here are waiting for the PF edition of the VF-1J with the GBP, what is the guestimate price that it should go for? 

Nearly double the price for this version at 42k yen or around 35k - 38k yen?  

[treatment]

I'm not so sure about a PF Hikky 1/60v2. 

I rather Arcadia (re)do a Weathered-edition rather than a PF of it, honestly...

 

[jenius]

I think PF is performing better for them than weathering did from a sales perspective and weathering was done with stated limits so they probably wouldn't like the sound of doing more... But I like the idea.

[Sandman]

Damn no PF. Have the orginal arcadia release but will probably buy this if it is grey google. Wish it was pf too to justify getting another.

Arcadia while you are at lets see a pf of the yf-19 so it can have tampooed intake warnings like it should have had from the beginning.

Wait, what?

Arcadia's original release has the grey-goggles...

[Sandman]

Wow tha HLJ price is better than NY. Think i'll just preorder now, just in case and cancel if it doesn't end up with grey googles.

Hmm. That's weird.

Can't remember if Jenius/Anymoon had a video-review of it, but here's the RPA unboxing and review of the original Arcadia release...

@Sandman - Did you get this first release (from Collection DX's blog)?

https://www.collectiondx.com/news_item/122214/arcadia_160_scale_vf1j_armored_valkyrie

If so then that must explain why you didn't get the Grey Goggle version. 

[jenius]

All GBP releases have gray goggles, Yamato or Arcadia, if yours doesn't then someone swapped toys on you.

[Slave IV]

In case anyone doesn't have one already, just a reminder to DO IT!

That is strange since it was bought new and not used.

[Gabe Q]

Does anyone know if the big white number one on the chest will be printed on this time?
