I assume they will do the cf and Nora type too. I'd probably get one of each if they do. Quote

arbit Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 I was hoping for a VT-1 next, but with the HM-R versions of the VE and VT not flying off the shelves, I am worried it wont happen. Quote

jenius Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Woof! Like the previous anniversary version... this toy would have to stay in fighter mode. Quote
F360 Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 The previous anniversary version looks like it's wearing a Tux while this one looks like it's wearing some ugly sweater Quote

Slave IV Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Looks like a good candidate to wear the Thunder Hummer armor. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Poor anniversary valk. You always so ugly Quote
technoblue Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 LoL! The heat shield creates a goldeneye design which is rather perplexing. And the visor is... I wonder if Arcadia will paint on the anniversary black/white/gold stripes or if they will be decals like they are on the Hasagawa kit? Quote
Tober Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Is there a Premium Edition without the tampo printing? Quote

Chronocidal Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) I just see that waste of materials and tampo, and think of how nice it would be to take all that money blown on the production line for this monstrosity, and put it to use making something people actually want. I have to assume they're under some kind of contractual obligation to produce this crap, because there is absolutely zero sense in wasting all that money this way.

SuperDimensionalDave Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 This latest anniversary Valk looks like it was parked overnight in the "hood" near MLK blvd and got graffitied by some urban artists. Quote
no3Ljm Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Money saved. I like Tenjin but not 'this' much. Quote
Sandman Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Why can’t they give us a decent anniversary valk? I’d prefer a canon scheme that wasn’t popular enough for a regular release. Quote

505thAirborne Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Dear Arcadia, instead of another Anniversary Valk how about one of these? VF-1A Low Vis #1 (US Navy colors) VF-1J Stealth VF-X Test Model VF-1J Cannon Fodder VF-1D (Trainer & Virgin Road) VF-1S Low Vis Any of the above should be a guaranteed purchased vs. that Anniversary Valk, Fighter mode looks decent but that Battroid is an eyesore. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 I'l be completely honest. There's probably some color combination that would look good with that stripe pattern. Gold, blue, black and white is not it, however. Quote

It's for sure ugly, but if we're going there it's still better than the Nascar Valk. And a million times yes to @505thAirborne - literally any of the items you listed would be preferable. Plus the always asked for Enigma or Minmay Guards. -b. Quote
SuperDimensionalDave Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Great list and I agree but even just stick with Yamato reissues. I mean if Arcadia wants guaranteed sales why not continue their reissue trend and give us VF-1D variants and VT-1 variants. It seems a no brainer to me. If these Yamato variants are doing $600-$1,500 on the secondary market I'd say there seems to be low stock and high demand yes? Isn't that how secondary market pricing works. Come on Arcadia give the fans what THEY want to buy, not what you want them to buy. Quote

No one wants any of these, as evidenced by bandai’s dud of a VF-31A release. They need to go BRIGHTER; toss a neon racing stripe or two on there and you’ll have a hit for sure Quote

Everyone would want one. Quote

Being new to collecting, I have been paying a premium in picking up valkyries well after they go out of print. For once, I'd like to pick up a valkyrie at or below MSRP. *sigh* This valkyrie looks like a perfect candidate.... to either try to remove its hideous paint job, or paint over in white. Then re-decorate with decals or something. Maybe a cheap alternative to picking up a Yamato unpainted VF-1? Edited April 10, 2018 by Shizuka the Cat Quote
