Loop Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Great Idea Mr. March, If I move in to a circus tent I will be able to fit my massive collection while adding an almost unlimited amount of new releases. Quote
optimuspint Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 I wonder what Bandai will release to try to counter this... more than likely the macross delta stuff Quote
McFly!! Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 more than likely the macross delta stuff and the Glaug for the hi metal r line... Quote
Loop Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) I am on board for maybe another 2 of these depending on the pricing. I already have 2x of these but one had an arm fall off on first transformation due to bad Die-cast . I could not get a replacement as Yamato had closed it's doors so fast after the release.

Mind me asking, How many Valks you currently have Loop? I've run out of room again myself and will probably have to start hanging them from the ceiling! Definitely another display cabinet is in order very soon.. Quote

I think I am keeping both of the Strike freedoms and getting the 4G's Mind me asking, How many Valks you currently have Loop?

Spanner, click the link in my sig ("My Toy Collection"). It will take you to a google blog that I use to keep a list of everything I got besides my non Macross/Gundam related toys and figures. I will get to doing inventory on all my other stuff at a later date. Edited October 11, 2015 by Loop Quote

NOD Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Sooo, um, any way to have some sort of super-alert when the PO's for this open up? Quote
Reaction Warhead Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Sooo, um, any way to have some sort of super-alert when the PO's for this open up? This isn't Bandai where PO battles are common for every release. Arcadia will price out all the posers, pretenders, and sculptors first. So, nothing to worry about. PO will remain open for a long time. Quote
Gakken85 Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 I bet this will sell pretty well, but I doubt it will be PO madness. Quote
dapro Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I think it depends on the price too on how well it sells. Quote

That massive collection you have would require a tent the likes of which even the Cirque Du Soleil has never seen, LOL! Quote

Kanedas Bike Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Good on Arcadia, this should be a sales hit for them. Quite honestly if Arcadia addresses the issue of the loose missiles on "their" VF-4G and does nothing else differently then this will still be worth the buy for those that missed on Yamato's release. And personally, as long as the price isn't completely out of touch then I'm down for 2. Especially since I skipped the VF-0A and (so far) the VF-0S. -b. Quote
anime52k8 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Wait what? VF-4 re-issue??? color me excited, I'm not making the same mistake twice and missing out again. Quote

Mr March Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 good one! Most of it fits in all of my closets lol. It's a big one (don't even, lol), but I'm curious how long you've been collecting? Quote
Loop Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 It's a big one (don't even, lol), but I'm curious how long you've been collecting? I started back in '07-'08. My first post here was asking about the Yamato YF-19. I ended up getting 1x YF-19 and 1x YF-21 initially but ended up getting in to the Mac Zero and VF-1 v2 stuff. I have not looked back since. Every year it seems I am close to done and then they release something else that I have to have. Now that Delta is about out, it starts all over again. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 If you're getting 2 then im in for 2 as well Ha ha, nice! I'll have to remember to post pics once they arrive. Whenever I get something new I always mean to, but then never do. I started back in '07-'08. My first post here was asking about the Yamato YF-19.

QFT Although I started collecting in '99/'00 with the original Yamato 1/72 scale YF-19 and VF-11B - this statement is so accurate. And even though I've scaled back significantly over the past couple of months, there is always "something" that I just have to get. Sigh. -b. Quote

Planning on replacing the one that I bought from you? As for me, not sure yet if I'm going to buy another one since I just bought my 2nd one over Rakuten a month and a half ago. But if the price is good, I might. Since I'm planning on customizing the other one for Flashback color. Quote

And yep, replacing the couple that I sold/having another that I can display. That Fighter mode - -b. Quote

And yep, replacing the couple that I sold/having another that I can display. That Fighter mode - -b. Hahaha! When I finished all my tasks here at work... I lurk. There's two reasons why I want to buy another one if the price is right is A) Arcadia's new box; and 2) back-up copy aka insurance. Quote
spanner Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Arcadia's new box is probably the most exciting part of it! Wouldn't it be funny if they used the exact old box design! I know they wont of course.. but how funy if they did! Quote

I know they wont of course.. but how funy if they did! Still, most people here are going to buy it no matter what the box is. But yeah, it's going to be hilarious if they just used the old box. And for sure, they will just say... it's just a reissue. Quote

And they can just slap a Arcadia sticker to cover the old Yamato logo on the old box. Talk about cutting corners. Quote
mickyg Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 My guess is they'll include the stand as justification to up the SRP a fair bit. Still looks beautiful though. Quote
technoblue Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 VF-4G plus limited edition Arcadia stand for 70000 yen? I'm looking forward to a better fit in a few areas, as others have stated. And I'll keep wishing that this leads to something more for the 4G in the future, because why not? Quote
spanner Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Bonus if they do include a stand but a pity those are pretty awful stands.. And yeah we might get tighter fitting missiles but i reckon that'll be the extent of the improvements. Its not a bad thing to begin with so they're not gonna want to spend too much money and time fixing things that really didn't need fixing or that they could get away with 2nd time around. Quote

Because if ever, they should've done that to the previous releases. But would it be nice if they also reissue those old Yamato Display Stands. Photo from anubis20 Quote

DSC07323.jpg Photo from anubis20 YAMATO-DISPLAY-STAND-1.jpg They probably couldn't because they couldn't get a hold of the proper licence from Big West to release them. Quote
mickyg Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Besides, they never showed those stands transforming in the anime, so... Quote
