Renato Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 crikey! only 27k yen! that is quite a bit cheaper than I was expecting! That's still a just over $300 toy (give or take) for us Aussies which I guess ain't tooooo bad. Definitely worth some consideration. So from what I gather from the translation, only the first 20 ordered online from the site get the bonus gunpod? If so that's an extremely limited offer! Geez Arcadia can be quite the tight arse.. I guess none of us mere mortals (outside of japan) will get even a remote shot of that opportunity.. I think most folks would have been happy to pay an extra 1000k yen on top of the price for the inclusion of the gunpod as standard. Wouldn't you all agree? I mean seriously how much can that gun pod be actually worth to manufacture? Then again it does have the unspacy logo tampo'd on it and we all know how Arcadia likes to keep tampo printing to the bare minimum.. That 20 refers to the maximum number you can order at once, I believe. Quote
anubis20 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Im a sucker for web exclusives, even if its just a VF-1 gun pod im still gonna try and get one from the Arcadia Online Store. Quote
skullmilitia Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Looks like I'm in for 2, what a great birthday I will have, all thanks to me.. and Arcadia lol. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 well the price is right especially if shops do the normal preorder discount. now i have to get around the fact that i don't lik eht battroid mode. lol. the fighter mode is so nice though. Quote
ArchieNov Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I'll be skipping on this as I don't need another VF-4 and this is just a straight reissue more or less. I've been streamlining my collection and sold off most of my duplicates already with the exception of the VF-19Advance. But glad for those who will finally be able to get one of these at an acceptable price. Quote
Universe1010 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Is this reissue also a limited release? Quote
Gakken85 Posted October 23, 2015 Author Posted October 23, 2015 Looks like rare Valks are back on the menu boys! Quote
Mommar Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Wow, with the exchange rate the way it is now that's a freaking steal. Back in 2013 I paid $321 a pop for them. Now it's only $222. Quote
Tking22 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 The price looks good, but I've got too much coming out in February, I gotta get me Legacy Thunder Megazord, VF-4 is cool, but Thunder is a personal holy grail, so I gotta pass. Quote
Saburo Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Yes! Gotta figure out how much to get. Thanks for the heads up! Now to figure out how to afford them! I hope this release helps Arcadia out for future releases. Gotta pick up a 6 pack of them! j/k! oh man i might get 3x, thanks for the heads up saburo! Thinking of getting 3x, you must mean you will get 3. I'll probably just get 2, unless i change my mind and get 3. LOL looks like they will include a vf-1 gunpod for those special ordering from their online store (limited) source mr.k https://twitter.com/OnlineArcadia/status/657440703295819776 and mr. k adds the 4g is cheaper this time around I was somewhat disappointed that the VF-4G did not come with a gunpod. It would cool to have a gunpod for VF-4 . Thanks for the headsup on the price, Saburo. Looks like I'm IN for my 3rd one because of the price. If the Arcadia box looks great, 4th one. No prob! I have been busy with other things (haven't been photographing lately), but I am still lurking around MW and keeping up with Valk news. Possibly getting 4, nice! Looks like I'm in for 2, what a great birthday I will have, all thanks to me.. and Arcadia lol. Yes another fellow Feb birthday member! Quote
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Can the gunpod be mounted on the fighter? Quote
ArchieNov Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Can the gunpod be mounted on the fighter? Nope. It's not designed to carry a gunpod. Quote
jvmacross Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I hear ya....its generally the case... though there is one which has been rare to catch which i hope they will re-release...virgin road.... Pretty sure the VF-1D will get a re-release....and when that happens they may do a web-only release of the Virgin Road....maybe But with the VF-4G now coming out......you can likely expect a VT-1 Super Ostrich and Max and Milia Super VF-1J's.....then maybe a 1/3000 SDF-1 TV or Battle 7... Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I'll see if I can get one. Then I'll just wait for a repaint to get a second. They might not be able to do a FB 2012 version, but maybe a Max, Low Vis, Urban Camo or whatever. BTW, did Arcadia ever released alternate color schemes like Yamato used to do, or they've been too busy with cannon schemes so far? Quote

Well... except for that VF-1J Tuxedo version. Quote

NightCastle Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Thinking of getting 3x, you must mean you will get 3. I'll probably just get 2, unless i change my mind and get 3. LOL Hey! x could equal 2/3, which would mean he gets only 2. It could be 1/3 or even 4/3. So, the possibilities are quite huge considering he included a variable in his estimation of how many he might get. Quote
skullmilitia Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I'm pretty sure they're done with the SDF and dyrl macross licenses, where can we place bets? I'll tag that bet! Ha. Who wants against? Quote
technoblue Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I agree with jvmacross. After the VF-4G and the VF-0A Mass Production version in 2016, I wouldn't be surprised to see announcements for Max and Milia Super 1Js. Of course, I would be equally happy with anything new from Macross 7. Quote
jvmacross Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) I'm pretty sure they're done with the SDF and dyrl macross licenses, where can we place bets? LOL.....I'd be happy to lose that bet considering what the implication would be of Arcadia no longer owning the rights to producing 1/60-ish DYRL/SDFM VF-1 PT toys.... However, the ongoing HMR line kind of cools the idea of the prophesized DX VF-1....at least for now..... I mean Macross seems hot right now and about to get hotter...but could Bandai really keep a DX "legacy" 1/60 line, a HMR 1/100 line, and the new MD DX lines selling well all at the same time without canibalizing sales from each other? The only way that may succeed would be the complete takeover of the Macross PT toy market....in other words, no "Yamatos" around to completely flood the market and have stock selling at cut-rate prices.....so....Maybe? That would surely go against the whole new Macross marketing ploy of "Fight Together".......maybe that's just for the kits though.... When it comes to the toys.....Bandai may want it all...

I gotta say, Saburo is not on his right mind after all. First reply was he's going to get 6 pack. Then he replied next he will just probably get 2. The he replied to my post saying, possibly getting 4. Oh Arcadia what have you done to Saburo?! Hahaha! Make up your mind, dear sir! I agree with jvmacross. After the VF-4G and the VF-0A Mass Production version in 2016, I wouldn't be surprised to see announcements for Max and Milia Super 1Js. Of course, I would be equally happy with anything new from Macross 7. Yeah, would be nice to see reissues. But who knows... Mac7... time to release Mylene's! LOL.....I'd be happy to lose that bet considering what the implication is of Arcadia no longer owning the rights to producing 1/60-ish DYRL/SDFM VF-1 PT toys.... Is it really official? Like did they release an official statement or something? I keep on reading about this 'rights' thing on every threads. Somehow it would be nice if they release an official statement now to end the speculations. Quote

No, just speculation...edited my post to be more of a "what if" condition....basically, if Arcadia lost rights to make 1/60-ish PT SDFM/DYRL toys, it would most likely be because Bandai would have paid BW more than what Arcadia could afford to retain them.....and Spanner76 would be forced to replace his entire collection with Bandai DX VF-1's!!!

shogun221 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Not a bad price at all! We'll see what this ends up costing shipped to the states, but can't really complain about the baseline MSRP. This is a great/horrible time to be a MP Transformer/Macross fan....I'm selling a bunch of my collection on eBay, but even still...all the product coming out over the next six months is going to destroy my wallet. ~Dan Edited October 23, 2015 by shogun221 Quote
technoblue Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Mac7... time to release Mylene's! Well...I have nothing against her VF-11 MAXL. Bring it! Maybe they could sneak her Valkyrie in over the summer and release the Macross Zero Reactive Armor in the fall? The licensing stuff is over my head. I hope Arcadia still has the ability to make VF-1 toys and is just trying to be smarter than Yamato about each release. I guess time will tell where the next VF-1 comes from in this scale- a topic for another thread. Quote
jenius Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Just to confirm, I am also just speculating on the rights deal. I heard all rights were pulled for rebidding before Delta. I think the only thing we know is that Arcadia has the Mac Zero license and vfx. Quote

jvmacross Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Well, apparently they also have the license for the DYRL "cactus" command ship......and we were all on pins and needles waiting for that one right? Right?!?! Maybe that is a sign of the limits of Arcadia's DYRL license...... Quote
jenius Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Nah, those are resin models, different deal. Quote

By the way, this is NOT the Macross Club. It's the Burning Wallet Club. Well...I have nothing against her VF-11 MAXL. Bring it! Maybe they could sneak her Valkyrie in over the summer and release the Macross Zero Reactive Armor in the fall? The licensing stuff is over my head. I hope Arcadia still has the ability to make VF-1 toys and is just trying to be smarter than Yamato about each release. I guess time will tell where the next VF-1 comes from in this scale- a topic for another thread. But seriously, are you going to buy the MAXL? And how many if ever? Moi? I'm just curious to have it made. Just to confirm, I am also just speculating on the rights deal. I heard all rights were pulled for rebidding before Delta. I think the only thing we know is that Arcadia has the Mac Zero license and vfx. No worries, Jenius. I just want Arcadia to keep on doing what their doing since I really prefer their finishes than Bandai's. Don't get me wrong. I love both lines for different series. It's just that for me Bandai looks toy than Yamarcadia's. LOL. I'll stick to picking up 2. Finally! You made up your mind. Well, apparently they also have the license for the DYRL "cactus" command ship......and we were all on pins and needles waiting for that one right? Right?!?! Maybe that is a sign of the limits of Arcadia's DYRL license...... Nah, those are resin models, different deal. Well, there's that GBP release too, right? So all is not lost. Quote
jvmacross Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 By the way, this is NOT the Macross Club. It's the Burning Wallet Club. My wallet won't burn, it's protected by a super dimensional barrier system...but it seems to uncontrollably space fold cash straight into Bandai's and Arcadia's bank accounts.... Quote
Phobos Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 27,000?!?! BRING ON THE PREORDER!!!!!!!! Seriously. I may be more excited for this than Star Wars..... I missed it the first time around. Quote
jenius Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 From what I heard, BW notified all licensees last December. All companies could not announce new products after that until they re bid. The GBP had already been announced so it was unaffected. After that, who knows, and there is always the potential I am misinformed. Quote

That's cute. Do you have another one that has Minmay on it? From what I heard, BW notified all licensees last December. All companies could not announce new products after that until they re bid. The GBP had already been announced so it was unaffected. After that, who knows, and there is always the potential I am misinformed. Yeah. How I wish they will say something soon. Hate to see Spanner replacing everything. Quote
jvmacross Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) That's cute. Do you have another one that has Minmay on it? Maybe....But here's the back of the wallet for now... Edited October 23, 2015 by jvmacross Quote
