Swept forward wings....

Swept back...

Spiny wings???....

Standard FP adapters?...

Being sort of broke right now kinda sucks, hopefully I can save up enough $$$. This is the VF-0D that I want because I agree with @David Hingtgen, If this is what the color actually looks like I'm on board for one!

Now that the vf-0d pre order is underway, does anyone know what Arcadia may release next? More zero? Plus? 

[Sanity is Optional]

I think there's quite a few people hoping for a VT-1, given that the only Yamato release had shoulder issues.

Personally I'm hoping they do a YF-21, though I think it's more likely that we'll get one from Bandai at this point. 

[jenius]

A PF Shin VF-0A seems likely. Very curious what the next new mold will be... Ghost booster seems easy if they stick with Zero.

I'm with you on the YF-21. That or a VF-11B would be ideal. They haven't done a pf YF-19 yet? I'm very familiar with the yamato YF-21 and VF-11B. Great toys in their own right, but really need to be stickered to get best from them. Bandai would have that covered (forgive the pun) for a lot less than Arcadia's attempts.

I had the first version, but now that I own the VF-0S pf, Shin's 0A pf will be an easy pass for me. I'm hoping to see Nora's 51 sometime soon. Speaking of ghosts, I hope bandai or Arcadia concider the X-9 ghost to add to the Mac plus ranks.

Oh man, I'm so in for a YF-21 and/or a VF-11!

[Sanity is Optional]

I have 2 Yamato YF-21, and a VF-11B and C both.

I'd still get an Arcadia re-pop of either.

[scand]

is the VF-0D only a web exclusive? will they have a regular release?

[DewPoint]

With the Flashback 2012 VF-4 coming out, I think I only really want a PF VF-1J GBP and a VF-1A Brownie.  I'll probably get a VT-1 should they do one though.

[seti88]

vf-0b or vf-0c Arcadia.....it’s a no brainer and you don’t even need to do mold changes. Just swap canopies around.

[Grimgerde]

VF-0A and Nora seem like the logical candidates after the VF-4.

Beyond that, I'm hoping for the VF-11 or reissue PF GBP VF-1J. The desire for a Brownie 1A is implicit, but seems unlikely anytime soon.

Excellent, thanks for the link. I'll be following that.

With this pic it seems that next release will be the VT-1 super ostrich

That would be great. Would love to get my hands on a PF VT-1.

Hopefully MSRP will be closer to the VE-1 than the Mac zero birds. 

[borgified]

Now the question is: Is it going to be a plain Jane VT-1 or PF VT-1? 

My guess is the PF version (a la PF VE-1) will be done. I can be wrong in that assumption.

It seems like the PF VE-1 sold well through regular retailers so my expectation would be a PF VT-1 also sold through regular retailers.

[valhary]

If I remember right Arcadia has been alternated between Macross Zero and DYRL so my prediction will be the after the VF-0D PF come the VT-1 so next could be the SV Nora version or the VF-4 flashback 2012

The PF VF-4 is to be issued in the Spring of 2020 and the PF VF-0 is later this year. So I'm guessing the PF VT-1 and then the regular version of Nora's 51 (hopefully Arcadia fixes the issue with the switched ankle assemblies on Ivanoff).

Like I said in the Arcadia 51 thread (or was it in another forum): 40k yen is still a chunk of change for Ivanoff's 51 or the VF-0d for that matter.

A little late with the PF VT-1, Arcadia. 

Maybe they'll use a less tangerine color to make it more movie accurate than Yamato? Wishful thinking but a man can dream... 

[DewPoint]

How many hours does it save you detailing up a PF version compared to a "standard" release?

 

Movie accuracy aside, as a trainer, wouldn't the correct color be the classic "safety orange"?

Saves a fair bit of time, since decaling is probably the most time-intensive part. Though maybe not as much as I hope, since I tend to add additional markings even to PF releases. 

[Chronocidal]

I just hope they skip the regular release, and go straight to PF like with the VE-1 (and at the same price point).  I've been wanting a second VT-1 for years, and a PF version will definitely pop in a display.

Of course, then we just wait for Bandai to release the 1/48 version, which I hope they actually get around to.  

[jenius]

Bandai is so going to do the 1D, and then VT-1 and VE-1 to get all the heads out... At least, that's what I'm hoping.

I can hear the money draining from my wallet

I wonder if these will be popular enough to sell out on PO night. I’ve only been collecting for a couple years so I don’t know what it was like during the original Yamato releases. 
 

The Arcadia variants have been easy enough to secure so hopefully it won’t be too bad.

I haven't really been following this thread, is Arcadia done with the 1/48 line now that Bandai is in the game?

Arcadia never did any 1/48.

They should go 1/35!

[Bolt]

They haven't seemed interested in continuing the 1/48 Legacy Yamato was so well known  for. Arcadia seems to be crushing it with 1/60 PF's..

[jenius]

Before Yamato died they said they were done with 1/48. I recall them saying that they would not do a "renewal" version in that scale because it would be cost prohibitive. Of course, what people are willing to pay has gone up a lot since then so maybe Arcadia would consider a 1/35...

[ErikElvis]

Noooooo! No 1/35. I can’t handle another line!
