I watched several people hold out on selling the VF-4 when the prices were stupid high. Then arcadia re-booted the lighting and prices flopped on the yamato. I've collected a lot of things.....funny how this hobby ....the vintage toys go down in price once a re-issue comes out. In the majority of the collecting world, most original vintage 1st issues are so much more valuable....whether it's comics, skateboards, etc. Here it's the opposite. Fascinating I've made that observation long ago, therefore I don't think collecting toys as a long term investment is a good idea. There aren't very many who will opt to pay a higher price for an older toy (which is almost purely born out of nostalgia) VS a newer version of it that is most likely improved in all aspects significantly. It's probably similar to gadgets. How many people would prefer to pay a higher price fon an original Nokia 3310 VS the newer 3310 version that Nokia is releasing (assuming they want something that looks like a 3310 in the first place)?

Lolicon Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 Old vintage toys and comics are only valuable because people actually played with and enjoyed them, so that very few survived to today as MISB or whatever. Quote

spanner Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 my beautiful babies! don't mind the Vodka Valkyrie blocking the view.. Quote
Darotower Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 I already have them too but I hope the new Arcadia's releases could combine the boxes to show a big picture like the older ones Quote

Whoa whoa whoa do you have your beautiful custom on a Flightpose? Be careful with those; the nubs are notorious for eating into paint and clear coats. Quote

sh9000 Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) Nice pics spanner and Darotower. If Arcadia's turn out pink (high chance) then I'll just leave them in Fighter mode or skip them and stick with my loose and MIB sets from Yamato. Edited April 8, 2017 by sh9000 Quote
jvmacross Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 I just want the option parts....calling dibs now if anyone doesn't need them! Quote

Well, they were only on screen for 9 seconds. Quote

Ah...so that's what they did with the 1/60 Fire Bomber figurine set...makes sense, who in their right mind would have bought that VF-19 Kai Bling Edition! Quote

Its been sitting on that stand for a few months now and so far so good!

Yeah I'll be pretty bummed if these re-issues have pinky white problems.. fingers crossed they don't but Arcadia has already a track record for this problem.. 15 hours ago, jvmacross said: I just want the option parts....calling dibs now if anyone doesn't need them!

Would hate to see a lovely custom get marred by it. They're fine if the nubs are only touching bare plastic, but they've been known to damage paint over time. I stopped using them (except for taking brief photos) because of it. Quote

Someone really needs to petition Mr. K about those via tweet or FB..... Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 Jvmacross I don't use the option parts you can have mine when Arcadia releases the M&M. Quote
Gundam@EFSF Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Supposingly M&M must be TV ver.? So will they come with round hands? thanks Quote

barurutor Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 You can get white DYRL-style hands from kurisama's Shapeways shop IIRC. Quote
Kurisama Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Aye, this is true - I'll have to find the original file, but in that file I had it set up on a bone rig to allow to quickly pose the hands in any way. But apart from that there are a few VF-1 items available there; https://www.shapeways.com/shops/RPG?section=Macross+VF%2FYF+Upgrades&s=0 Quote

Cowboy17 Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 just saw an arcadia blog post on twitter. The blog post seems to indicate reservations may start next week for Milia. Quote
