seti88 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Am all aboard for this one, since i passed on the DYRL SP's! Quote
no3Ljm Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 I'm pretty sure the event is done by now. So whatever happened to Arad's and Chuck's Super Parts and Elvis' Valk? Quote
jenius Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 I think they're putting Delta aside for the moment and will push on it again when new media is available. Quote

Delta is going up against VF-1 DX squads, GBP DX and YF-21 DX teased. Plus pent-up demand for HMR. Tough sell for delta for a while i think. Quote
Sandman Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Was any thing other than the tv super parts announced at the event? Quote

borgified Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Since some of us are briefly talking about M7 in the DX VF-1 thread. Why not a DX VF-19 Fire Valk packaged with the Sound Booster and the Sound Cannon for those who are interesred (or does Arcadia still have the reigns for that)? If you still haven't seen M7 yet @no3Ljm, then I don't blame you. You can just skip over that, it's nothing important. Quote

spacemanoeuvres Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 I really want that DX YF-21 and a DX VF-11 to complete my M+ collection. Quote
borgified Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 We all know that the DX YF-21 is arriving as we got pics of it and a thread made for it's ultimate arrival, it's the DX VF-11 that's missing as of now. Plus I know for sure that most of us will want a copy of a DX VF-11 MAXL flown by Mylene and have at least a line up of the main valks flown in the Jenius Family tree. Quote
easnoddy Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 I would buy 3 DX VF-11B. Hopefully if Bandai do it they make full-sized tailfins/stabilizers that fold in half before folding into the legs. This was a failing of the Yamato. The huge stabilizers are iconic on the VF-11. Quote

seti88 Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 the VF-11 is a perfect for Bandai’s love of mold milking. Especially for this. Sigh. Cmon bandai. Quote

borgified Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Then who do you think that the Amour for the VF-11 will be manufactured by @seti88? It's either going to be Bandai or Fext Hobby. Quote
twich Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Personally, for Bandai, I would like to see what is next in store for the new Macross Delta movie 2, I would like to see them complete the Hi-Metal R Macross 2 Vf’s, such as the VF-2JA, VF-1MS, VF-XX, Maybe some of the Marduk Mecha for the destroid lovers.....but I would rather enjoy a DX VF-2SS SAP in 1/60. DX YF-21 Full set released, and the full array of Macross 7 DX Releases to include the Varuta VF’s Twich Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Unfortunately, I kinda doubt we'll see any more Macross II stuff for a while, given the aftermarket pricing and long shelf-life of the VF-2SS. Quote
twich Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 If the Hi-Metal R VF-2SS SAP came with a stand that could hold the valk and the squires all at the same time, perhaps the sales would have been stronger. As it is, having to spend almost as much for a stand as the toy can leave a poor taste Quote
treatment Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Not sure about the stands, as them 3-pks were damn frickin' cheap both here and in Japan. As for the HMR VF2SS... The Sylvie-VF2SS did fine in sales and aftermarket value. It still commands almost MSRP pricing in secondary markets, last time I checked. The "Nexx", BIG NOPE! I see it almost constantly way cheap and undervalued as new in most jp-shops. Even (or especially) in amz-jp and manda. More likely the Nexx-VF2SS sales would've been alot better if Bandai had actually put the correct pilot figure for it instead... Quote

Sales might have been better... but they'd have to have been really significantly better to soften the 'thud' that thing made when it hit the market. At 1/100 scale, the pilot doesn't seem a huge deal. They should have split the production run and sold half as Nexx and half as Faerie. Quote

At least it didn't quite went to bargain-bin mode at amz-jp direct as quickly as the HM-R VF-4 "Roy" and the various SOC-FAs. I don't think Bandai have had any recent sellout hits outside of the original Metal Build EVAs. I still wonder what the fugazi people see in EVA mechs that is even remotely so desirable. *shrugs* Even the GFFMC Zaku-II could be had at MSRP at amz-jp direct a month or so after release-date. Maybe that's why there seems to be alot of Bandai stuff going twe/pbandai route nowadays. Quote

If Fext does anything, it wont be the exact replica of the M7 armor, else they want to be on bandai's hit list. Fext Hobby armors are not directly macross related but more fan inspired. Quote

Then Bandai will ask another leg and arm (plus extra unwanted organs included) for this set. Another "Wish List" item for Bandai when the VF-11 does get produced. Quote
seti88 Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 let’s see ...will there be a YF-21 or GBP or something new to be teased within these 2-3 weeks? Quote
seti88 Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 bandai, moar moar hard to get and expensive vf-1's pls!! Quote
