Whats next for Arcadia?

[Lolicon]

Factory probably produced too many left legs and not enough right legs.

[treatment]

Speaking of which, still strict radio silence regarding if Arcadia's valks will be offered  as well in the so-called WorldWide distribution hype by BigWest.

Maybe ET will be granted approval first to punish all Westerners with their ubercrappy 1/60 VF2SS line...

Personally, I'm still holding out hope for a ghost booster bundle of the 0A or 0S (they do have those adapters, after all).  But I've been waiting for... a long time.

^ This. I'd love a ghost booster bundle of the 0A, Premium Finish please Arcadia!!

Arcadia should simply shock the world an announce a 1/3000 TV SDF-1 (standard & PF versions), the sales from that would keep them in business for a long time. 

Wishful thinking for now though.

You know... If it came with a extra Big West stickers sufficiently large enough to cover over the HG logos (user applied) I may bite.

Whoa?? Does this suggest that perhaps Arcadia might NOT be able to produce/develop/release more Macross toys in the future??

No, the full conversation is that the license between Arcadia and Big West is solely for Japan release only.  I bothered pressing them on it.

Hmm...and at the same time bandai is teasing a macross zero HMR vf-0 for worldwide distribution perhaps? 
Naaah.. probably a coincidence..

More likely that Bandai is a bigger company, and was able to get their license agreement re-written for international distribution in a shorter timeframe. Arcadia is much smaller, and Big West frankly isn't going to spend nearly as much effort dealing with them.

Sad. But, on the flip side, only when Macross zero valks/merch are actually available worldwide, will I believe it. 
Proof in the macross pudding..

I don’t recall seeing otherwise but the HMR is Japan only last I saw.

Its conflicting at the moment, as the live presentation mentioned all items including the HMR was for worldwide distribution.
Hence my reluctance to say that macross zero is indeed a worldwide distribution.

But to have Arcadia asking for licensing updates from BW, at the same time bandai is now on macross zero, well smells like BW might be thinking to re-price license costs.
Watching what happens. Could be purely co-incidental and just be a administrative delay. May never know, as well.

All licenses are probably being renewed, one at a time, since the resolution of the HG drama and the upcoming new media. All Bandai lines, including HMR, will become a blend of WWM releases and domestic only. DX VF-1, domestic only. DX YF-19 WWM, etc. Arcadia will probably go through the process, prices may change a bit, but the big change to their agreement will be that sales anywhere will incur the licensing fee where the language previously said sales were restricted to domestic distributors and any international efforts were ground for revoking the license. Since Bandai is the big money maker, Arcadia will have to wait until everything is settled with them.

[Podtastic]

Has Arcadia ever made any Zentradi mecha?

[jenius]

As Yamato they did.

I believe it was as follow under Yamato Branding:

Yamato - M&M Q_Raus

T-Rex: Soldiers and Regult

CMs: Milia 639 (more figures released but not for Yamato exclusively)

I would love to get that GU-11 Plushiepod.

Icing in the cake would be if Arcadia released a Strike Pack which could be worn.

Arcadia really brought the heat on with their display. Great way to celebrate Macross 40th Anniversary.

[recon]

With the news of VF5000, am hoping arcadia will revisit the designs for M7 VF19 and VF17. Not forgetting VF11 and YF21

Last but not least, pls do a minmay guard VF-1S strike for the 40th anniversary. Am sure this will be a hit

Holy crap! A VF-5000!! I didn't think I'd live to see this day!
