I'll instabuy a renewal but will easily skip a reissue.. Also what is that "kit" on the VF-0A/S display card referring to? The RA parts perhaps? And 16k for a crappy Lancer!?!? Yeah right.. pass. I have a few Autoart models im eyeballing for around that or less! It would be a new/improved mold. The kit is the Reactive Armor. The Lancer is overpriced, but realistically a premium collector's piece. Not many collectors would be interested in it. Quote

I have a few Autoart models im eyeballing for around that or less! Its most likely a renewal, as mr K mentioned that they would do something new. Normally re-issue's dont benefit from a pixelated promotion teaser Maybe we will get more info on it as the day goes on. Arcadia hasnt even tweeted about it! The kit is the RA assembly kit, customisable, though i dont thk it will come in black as the pic shows, since black doesn't reflect paint . 3 minutes ago, jenius said: So no cannon fodder 0A on the horizon? It looks like its gone with the wind...but who knows? Since its just a recolor, arcadia could launch it at a so-called moments notice.. Quote
mickyg Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) I got excited about a valk kit for a second there. Oh well. The SV-51 is welcome news, even if it's likely to be way outside my finances to get one. More valks for me to see other people's photos of! Edited February 19, 2017 by mickyg Quote
Cowboy17 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 i can't believe its an sv-51. No one bought the old ones. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Avoiding the Cheyenne, Arcadia has finished the Zero lineup, just missing the obligatory Nora and CF releases and on to the next Macross lineup, they must finish the Plus lineup with reissue YF-21 and VF-11 but at Arcadias snail pace I'll be 50 before it. Quote
Sildani Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 It's most probably a renewal 51, otherwise there'd be no need to mention a collaboration with T-Rex. Quote

Sadly people (like me) avoided the SV-51's & VF-0's due to the QC issues. I only got my first Ivanov 51 a few months ago because the price was really good. If these are as solid as the Arcadia VF-0S, collectors will want them! Quote

Yeah, I just picked up a CF sv-51 this week because it was dirt frickin' cheap. Im fine with all the looseness issues (except the tail stabs) because im never displaying these in anything but fighter. Quote
barurutor Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 That bass is going to cost crazy money just like the Basara guitar a few years back. Quote

spanner Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I can't remember and im not really willing to do a re-watch of M-Zero but does the darker colored RA parts ever make an appearance? Regardless I think its a pass for me.. Quote

Valkyrie addict Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 The RA was only seen once in Zero with Roy using it. The kit is probably due to the RA being one of the most requested things to do after the VF-4 since the Yamato days. Quote
Xigfrid Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Why didn't they release the Cheyenne I together with it, and we would have the scene complete! For the future I wish Arcadia don't mess Nora's gold accents. At least this one won't bother us if it got pinkish white Quote
jenius Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 That Battle7 is part of the non-scale model releases right? I wonder if it transforms or if you choose to build it in either mode. The good news about the RA Kit is that it will hide the surgery I had to do to my 0A toy... that is, if I could ever convince myself to transform that thing again. Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 So the Lancer is happening? Sorry, been out of the loop, trying to keep up with the HM-R thread. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 51 is a pass for me as well. Hope they get to the rest of the Macross Plus VFs soon. Still want a yf-21 and vf-11 Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 I wish they would make a transforming Battle 7 to the size, if not scale, of the SDF-1 toy/assembly kit. Quote
Sandman Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 I dunno. I really want to love battle 7 and i do in a way. But something about the coloring scheme really makes it an eyesore for me. Battle frontier on the other hand looks hawt,. Quote

Remember the SDF-1 Non-Scaled Resin kit that they have? It's part of the same line. And you know how Arcadia is when it comes to blues. From Macross Mecha Manual: Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Done up right and with the color less saturated, I think it could look pretty good. I would love a Battle Frontier and Galaxy too, but it doesn't seem likely at this point since Bandai has moved on to Delta. I just want a good sized and detailed transforming NMC to go with my SDF-1 and MQ. I'm hoping Bandai will surprise us sometime with an Elysion also... but that's probably just going to remain a dream Quote
technoblue Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 The mini kits are nice, but I would be more inclined to buy transforming (or even parts-forming) capital ships. I thought MegaHouse had a good start with its TV SDF-1, and I wouldn't mind seeing more Macross capital ships from them. I think Arcadia could start something competitive by making a line of small scale transforming capital ships, but I don't know what that would entail cost-wise. Even with the SV-51 announcement, Arcadia's news felt conservative to me this year. I want to keep a positive beat, though, and I hope there is a surprise reissue or two before the end of the year (not counting Hikaru's 1S, which is already in the pipeline). Quote
sh9000 Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 I would buy an F-14 and Mig-29 in 1/60 scale if Arcadia made them. Quote
spanner Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 they need to make a Macross mini series from just before Zero with pre-variable fighter aircraft such as those above and showing the early stages of the Valkyrie development before their deployment.. with no romance / love triangles.. Quote
seti88 Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 And call it macross double zero? Or macross -1. Hopefully they do, and don't forget abt the valk segment of macross, even Gundam has the thunderbolt series revolving around mecha battles.. Quote

How cool would it be seeing the early prototypes and their first test flights and testing combat effectiveness. Much more interesting than a sappy love story I reckon. Quote
