chaff.g Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Lots of markings in those pics. I hope these releases get the premium finish treatment. Quote

But I'm guessing something Macross Zero related since it's the 15th anniversary on December 21st ( VF-0A CF or Reactive armor assembly kit?). Edited April 10, 2017 by wmkjr Quote

auberondreaming Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Hurray! I missed these the first go around, can finally finish what I really want in my collection! Quote
HardlyNever Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 at everyone afraid of the Arcadia white/pink after the Hikaru vf-1j. I'm going to have to stop coming to this thread, or I'm going to break down and get a pair of these... those TV style armor super parts... Quote
valhary Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 I think more than ever Arcadia has to be very careful with the price because with the KO in the middle of the way it will be a determining factor and if continue with ridiculously overpriced almost for sure that will lose the battle Quote
iguanaman8989 Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Ugh, I was planning on being happy with one Arcadia VF-1, and using the 31J and 31C as a sort of pseudo M&M set. Looks like I'm gonna end up with a sort of 'then and now' display. Quote
no3Ljm Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Ok. Like I said, not a big fan of the couple, but I'm ready to PO them. Quote

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. I've ahd the same issue with FP but spanner's case leads me to believe it's probably just poor paint jobs that get eaten. Anyways, I'm ready to order M&M as soon as available. Quote
technoblue Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 When it rains, it pours...M&Ms. I was so bummed when I had to sell my 1/48s. The last two years have been icing on a big Macross cake. I'll not only have Bandai's HM-R versions, but also Arcadia's versions at 1/60 scale. I wouldn't have thought this would happen five years ago. Quote

jenius Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) Focker premium finish version for July? Well, looks like I'll be reviewing the Hikaru version and then selling it off.. I don't need both. This bodes well for the M&Ms being available in premium finish versions also right? Edited April 11, 2017 by jenius Quote

Yeah its good that they are re-issuing them but they haven't had to do any of the back work of design and engineering so surely they could have re-issued them as a standard upgrade from the original releases and included the extra tampo.. I mean seriously would the extra detail points made that much of a difference to their profit margins? Edited April 11, 2017 by spanner Quote

chaff.g Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) The announcement of the premium finish Focker is a little disconcerting for those of us contemplating M&M purchases. Do we pull the trigger now or risk waiting for potential M&M premium finish releases 12 months down the road? Also, I have to wonder if the KO releases of M&M were provoked by Arcadia's release plans, not the other way around. If the KOs are coming out of factories producing the legitimate Arcadia products, then workers in those factories would be privy to Arcadia's otherwise secret release schedule.

Play-asia had them too, http://www.play-asia.com/macross-do-you-remember-love-160-perfect-trance-vf-1s-strike-val/13/70avwv I don't recall too many stores carrying them because it was originally planned as a Arcadia webstore exclusive and the stores that do carry them is asking the same if not higher than Arcadia, similar to those P-Bandai wes exclusives. And out of nowhere HLJ had some , and even have a discount, Quote

If they are going to do a premium finish M&M they would most likely announced/open on the same day, similar to their recent VF-1s Hikaru. I'm thinking they might just go all Premium Finish and maybe release the normal version if the premium preorders are lower than expected. More Premium Finish units, lower cost, lower msrp. ,etc. sounds right to me. Quote

I think Arcadia was provoked by the KO announcements because it was already in PO over Taobao when they released the "Don't buy the KO Products" news. Quote
