Arcadia 1/60 SV-51 Ivanov

[Valkyrie addict]

Just announced

 

Thanks to Gwyn Campbell for the scoop

 

[seti88]

Poster looks good enough....now will the actual product be as well?

[UN Spacy]

The largest and most intricate Valks...my wallet just killed itself.

 

This is gonna be a HUGE bitch.

[seti88]

Not to mention there logically leads to possibility of the NORA/CF in the future...yea wallets gonna ache....geee tho i thk i would like a CF very much...

[treatment]

so, 37,500yen or what?

[seti88]

Considering the VF-1S premium is at 25k i am hoping that this would not break the 30k barrier! If it does, am not sure if i would consider it....

Well, Roy 0S was around 37k-yen msrp...

 

 

[seti88]

oh yeah launch prices! I thk my mind was still on price after discount...i got my 0S at ami at 28k the last time.
My valk price ceiling is around 30k ish, anything above that am not sure i would realistically be able to get it.... 

Could be even near 40k by the time its released then, it would be down to how much the retailers can discount to!?

Sounds about right for msrp .

 

[no3Ljm]

Yes! I'm also IN for this one. This is going to be my 2nd enemy Valk. 

 

 

[jenius]

Love this design,  I'm totally in. Don't f#ck me again Arcadia like you did with those lemon VF-0 toys. 

[Cowboy17]

I'm down for one provided it doesn't cost over 300.  otherwise im just going to continue buying the old yamatos

$75 it is! Plus $135 for shipping and insurance fees.

 

[Chronocidal]

I'll be really interested to see what (if anything) they change about this release.  It's not like the first version actually had any significant issues like the VF-0..

[iguanaman8989]

I really want the eventual Nora version, but I'll probably pick this one up too, just in case something happens and her's doesn't come out.

[frankell05]

I have been waiting for this for ages. when i finally got the yamato one, i watched my $300 literally dissolve and crumble in my hands a week after I got it. What a piece of crap. I can already feel in my greedy hands the higher quality plastic of this toy. yies , yies yiiiiiiiessssssss. Good job Arcadia

 

 

[Old Man]

I'm expecting Arcadia to botch some aspect of the color, but it's pretty hard to screw up black, right?

Better joints, plastic and less gaps would be a great start! While I don't have the Arcadia 0S, I have the VF-0A & 0D and I am confident that Arcadia will make a very impressive SV-51.

check back in a year?

[Lonely Soldier Boy]

So when is this expected to be released or put up for preorder? Must be some time away with Hikaru 1s still in the pipeline.

Edit: Thanks, seti. I guess I have some time to make up my mind.

SOLD!

[David Hingtgen]

If Nora's ends up hot pink with orange stripes, I won't be surprised...

[spanner]

even if its only a minor revision, as long as they have made any improvements where needed then I will be buying this and any other SV-51 variants they intend to release!

Then I'll sell my old Yammies..

Its arcadia, so i think the price would dampen any pre-order madness..

If i use the 0A/S valks as guide, I expect to see some prototype/samples pics in april/may and if everything goes well earliest we could possibly see a pre-order is perhaps in august for a year end release...The RA took a lil longer at 1.5 years announcement to release.

Of course like you said, there are the Hikkie's and even the assembly kit RA is scheduled for July this year (as per notice on the display card). 

So best is keep your eyes peeled throughout the year but esp in august....

[thetrollphysicist]

So I guess Mr. K didn't lie at all, it is indeed this huge monster bird-human that gonna break my wallet.

Arcadia did it again, looks like they really are more focusing on Macross Zero line afterall

LOL u got me on a russian star fetish! I wanna slap that star on everything! Especially a SV51 CF!
I wish i could send a pic to Mr K of the russian star and make him release a CF too! Though he would ban me for spamming him.

[enphily]

YES YES YES! Thank you Arcadia from my wallet. Easy pass
