jenius Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 I highly doubt there will be any differences. If there was even the slightest change in think the price would have changed. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 i cancelled my hlj 3x copies last month, no budget=( Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Hmmm... Is Flashback2012 color a slight change for you, b? I'll buy two if ever. Yes it is, but only slightly. Along those lines, if the 4G was released with a new scheme that I liked I'd (likely) buy. I highly doubt there will be any differences. If there was even the slightest change in think the price would have changed. Hey, different plastic, slightly different tint that is noticeable, who knows anything is possible. And those types of things would not necessitate a price increase. i cancelled my hlj 3x copies last month, no budget=( Certainly feel your pain. -b. Quote

And new box design(?). i cancelled my hlj 3x copies last month, no budget=( Me too. Cancelled one due to ProjectBM Kaneda set. Would still love to have a third one though.

Flashback2012 color... it's an instant buy for me even if I don't have budget for it. Hahaha! Quote
Saburo Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) I am really curious to see what the box art looks like. Edited February 4, 2016 by Saburo Quote

spanner Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) I am really curious to see what the box art looks like. hehe! im not going to be surprised if they use the original box art with Arcadia branding.. but if they do redesign the box then im sure it will follow the design trend of the Zero boxes.. either way i doubt the box art will look anything particularly interesting anyways..

Phobos Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 ugh. Hurry up and send me my payment request already.... Quote
F360 Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 If anyone should complain about the price hikes I thought it would be the japanese fans really, we at least have had a much better exchange conversion rate since 2013 so that the prices didn't change that much overall But they don't have to pay for shipping. Quote
no3Ljm Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 But they don't have to pay for shipping. True. But remember they do pay to commute to go around (not to mention gasoline and parking fees for individuals who have car) and while at the stores, they will get hungry just by looking around, and they will buy food for sure. And not to mention, they pay for local tax as well. So for that same amount of shipping fee abroad, is almost the same when you buy it personally. Quote
Sildani Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Hadn't thought of that, and it's a good, and funny, point. Quote
Lolicon Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 True.

Valkyrie addict Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Plus you get customer support from Arcadia and replacement parts. Quote
McFly!! Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 I am really curious to see what the box art looks like. me too! on a bit of a tangent, i wish they designed boxes that could either be flattened out for display/framing, or folded into a pop up diorama Quote
Old Man Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 me too! on a bit of a tangent, i wish they designed boxes that could either be flattened out for display/framing, or folded into a pop up diorama What a great idea! Quote
Moosey Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 me too! on a bit of a tangent, i wish they designed boxes that could either be flattened out for display/framing, or folded into a pop up diorama That would be cool. How much would it cost though? We already complain Arcadia products are pricey and they don't even have tampo! Quote
McFly!! Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 That would be cool. How much would it cost though? We already complain Arcadia products are pricey and they don't even have tampo! hmm... from a production standpoint, frameable box art should be a zero cost implementation (you can actually do this with most the current boxes). pop up design would add some overhead effort and costs but shouldn't impact more than a hundred JPY, since the only net new modifications would be tabs and slots (a glue only design would actually be cheaper since only tabs would be required, no slots). just daydreaming hehehe What a great idea! right? hmm... i guess it's all the wonderfest pics that got my juices flowing...

mickyg Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 I know this has been covered before but it was WAAAAaaaaay back when the Yamato one was out - Are there any differences between this one and the FB 2012 variant other than paint scheme? I think this variant had a gunpod in the game, but are there differences in the head sculpt or anything else? Quote

I think this variant had a gunpod in the game, but are there differences in the head sculpt or anything else? I'm not sure if they are 100% the same between the one featured in the VF-X Mission Game & Flashback 2012. Because we didn't see the one in FB2012 transforms. But it still safe to assume it is the same since both Valks didn't have the Commander Type head on it. Also the same VF-4G also featured in the other game called Macross M3, in Max and Millia colors. Hope that helps. Quote
spanner Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 shots from Winter Festival Nice bit of artwork! hope the new box art looks better than the original.. Quote
no3Ljm Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) It does, thanks Noel! No problem sir! Edited February 8, 2016 by no3ljm Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Nice bit of artwork! hope the new box art looks better than the original.. That probably is the box artwork. -b. Quote
spanner Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 That probably is the box artwork. -b. Hehe! Maybe you never know! If they used the top part of the pic then it wouldn't be bad! Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Yep, that's my guess - the VF-4G in the clouds with the 3 modes on the back. Hopefully. -b. Quote
spanner Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 and im still surprised how relatively cheap price they asking for it! still kinda tempting to buy another for fighter mode display but something is telling me I don't need another just for that.. Quote
no3Ljm Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 and im still surprised how relatively cheap price they asking for it! still kinda tempting to buy another for fighter mode display but something is telling me I don't need another just for that.. Something tells me you already know the answer to that. And besides, this is not the first time you buy multiples and display it in their various and same modes. Quote

And besides, this is not the first time you buy multiples and display it in their various and same modes. hehe! you're right! and i'll admit I was keen on buying another but after finally seeing one in the flesh in its other modes the desire kinda fizzled out.. but looking at the photos once again im starting to feel tempted again! even if it only is displayed in fighter mode.. Quote
spanner Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 hmmm i might just wait and see what the box art turns out like and decide from there.. Quote
Lolicon Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 I'm on the fence too regarding if I should get 1 or 2 more. Definitely 1 so I can customize it and do a better job than my rather amateurish attempt on my Yamato VF-4. This is a fighter mode only toy for me so maybe I don't need 3... Quote
Saburo Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 With the the release of the Arcadia VF-4 approaching, I just wanted to reshare some pictures of the Yamato release of the VF-4. What a beautiful Valk! (in fighter mode ) Quote
wm cheng Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Yes, this really is the jewel of my collection (along with the 1/3000 SDF-1). I think this represents the pinnacle of Yamato engineering and have yet to be surpassed by Arcadia. To anyone that doesn't have one of these, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it - just phenomenal! (and your shots Saburo does it justice!) Quote
