gozilham Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 The packaging from the standard one is better than premium with the red box also some pictures. Quote

A bargain!!?? XD I paid $211 for my standard. If they really expect anyone to pay an extra $150 just for decals, they've got anoth- wait, what am I saying? This is Macross merchandise, of course we will! Quote
Universe1010 Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 Very odd that arcadia put better artwork on the regular version than on the premium version, but oh well. Honestly now I see my focker (non premium) vs hikaru (premium) side by side from a distance I cant even make out the paintwork other than the red skull on the parts. I'd recommend if you are still looking to get a copy of the hikaru get the regular version. Quote
Astralith Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 Can someone confirm if the standard Hikaru comes with water-slide decals? Quote

No. The one that comes with water slide decal was the first Arcadia Roy and Hikaru releases back in 2013. Not sure if the VF-1J Aniversario comes with water slide decal too. Quote

I'm pretty sure it comes with stickers like all of the Yamato/Arcadia standard releases. I don't own the regular release so maybe someone can verify. Quote

Regular decals, unfortunately, but sometimes you can find water slide decals on auction sites like eBay. Here's one: http://m.ebay.com/itm/1-60-Macross-VF-1-transformation-VF-1A-S-Model-Kit-Water-Decal-/391742930246?hash=item5b35b2bd46%3Ag%3AVp8AAOSwol5Y3xxa&_trkparms=pageci%3A6c2eb579-5357-11e7-9e35-74dbd1809abe%7Cparentrq%3Ab5ffcfa415c0abc57936385cfffe36bd%7Ciid%3A9 Quote

Slave IV Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 Speaking of waterslides and stickers, has anyone tried simply photocopying a sticker sheet onto a decal sheet to create waterslides using a good printer? I'm thinking about trying since I've had good experience with homemade waterslides. Mine are all printed from files though. Quote

I'm thinking about trying since I've had good experience with homemade waterslides. Mine are all printed from files though. It'd be better scan the sticker sheet as hi res as you can, then clean up the image files and print them onto decal paper. But you'll be limited by the fact that you can't print white and decal paper is either transparent or solid white. Transparent decals are really only good on white valks (which are a lot anyway) and white-backed decals are only useful for solid shapes; can't really use it for text. Or you can invest in a specialized decal printer and go nuts printing your own decals. Quote

anubis20 Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) I found a site that can print decals with white ink... But theyre expensive... an 8" x 13" sheet ran me $55 shipped Edited June 20, 2017 by anubis20 Quote

I'd rather put the money towards Arcadia "Premium" versions instead if I was trying to avoid the extra cost by printing decals. I hope you packed that 8x13 full of decals though Quote

Lolicon Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 Anyone still need a premium finish Hikaru 1S? https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1067975115&ref=list Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 Looks like Arcadia hit a homerun with that release. But come to think about it, how many were produced for it to have a great demand after release? Great job, Arcadia! Now they have budget to re-release another VF-1. Quote
Xigfrid Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 I think I read 5000 unit in premium finish, but not totally sure Quote
jenius Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 That seems like a lot. I believe the original Low Vis 1/48 was 2500 units. Quote
Sandman Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 Yeah, there doesn't seem to be a lot out there. Quote
hkj711 Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) I just opened my copy of the premium version and it had one side of the head lasers bent. Never seen this before on any of my valks. I guess I'll have to heat it up some and bend them back into shape. Edited July 1, 2017 by hkj711 Quote
chyll2 Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 NY sent an email notice. Focker's premium version release date is changed to July 07, 2017 (and payment due date is on the 13th). Quote
Lolicon Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) Low stock at HLJ. https://hlj.com/product/aca82133 Edit: Whoops wrong thread! Oh well, people will still see it. Edited July 6, 2017 by Lolicon Quote
