no3Ljm Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Since this is now official, let's make a dedicated thread for M&M. Arcadia 1/60 VF-1J Super Valkyrie [Millia] August 2017 Price: TBD Arcadia 1/60 VF-1J Super Valkyrie [Max] December 2017 Price: TBD Quote

Hmmm... since this will be bought in MSRP rather than the aftermarket price, I think it's ok to paint it with white. Quote
spanner Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 im surprised it took this long for a dedicated M&M re-issue thread to pop up! nice one Noel! Looking at the wings in particular, by the looks of it in those photos there is a decent amount of tampo already on it so maybe it will be released as a premium edition only perhaps? Quote
Viiof Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Definitely interested in these two. Hopefully the price will be trying to be competitive with the KO's that were popping up. Quote
erizai Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Hopefully it would be around the same as the Hikaru VF-1S, for the premium version probably sold out faster than it could... I will stick to non premium.... hehe Quote
barurutor Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 I wonder if the option part body covers will be cast in red/blue as well. Quote
Moosey Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) Wow. I invested in the HMR M&M because I didn't think this would happen and I wasn't prepared to spank half a mortgage payment to complete my set! I will definitely be in for a Millia. Are those dates release dates or pre-order dates? I'm guessing release....? Edited April 11, 2017 by Moosey Quote
Zx31 Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Was hoping the super parts would be the same color as the aircraft, but I'll live. Quote
Cowboy17 Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 release. Supposedly next week (or later this week) for Milia preorder according to one of arcadia's blog posts Quote

You're welcome Spanner. Just don't get deceive on those promo pics. Remember both Hikaru releases have the same 'decal-ed' photos. 2 hours ago, Moosey said: Wow.

Is this from the SDF series? So that's where Hi-Metal R got the white booster and white paint on the leg armors. Nice. Quote

M&Ms Since I skipped out from Yamato's original release, I quest I could pick up these now, but it will be at a higher premium of course. When Yamato stop producing Valks in the 1/48 scale, for a while I refuse to pickup the new V2 1/60 scale, so I missed out on a lot of valks. 1/48 scale shall forever live in my heart Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 I don't have any 1Js and this would be a mighty fine way to add a pair to my collection. I wonder how much of a treat these will be to get my hands on. Quote

Nice. Yeah, as far as I know that's was the only appearance. Not sure when the blue/grey boosters became the standard for them. Edited April 11, 2017 by Zx31 Quote
Lolicon Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 The parts change color quite a lot in the TV series. Quote
ArchieNov Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Hmm... Is it just me, or does it look like Yamato/Arcadia's color scheme for the fast pack does not fully match any of these reference shots? Quote
Zx31 Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Oh right, forgot about the other scenes. Couldn't find them when I was scanning episodes earlier Quote
Duymon Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 the releases are even split to reduce wallet shock thank god Quote

General Rasp Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Oh Wow!!! I am definitely getting both. I like the color saturation Arcadia is going with and I hope they turn out good. I never had a chance to get the Yamato 1/60 M&M so this is awesome news. And as long as the super parts look good I am ok with them not matching the series 100%. The color on the super parts changes so much I feel going by the movie is better. It would be nice if there was a record of when the show was being drawn and there where notes on what the super parts were supposed to look like. Looks like I am getting more VF-1s than VF-31s this year. Quote
Lolicon Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Yes I'm also glad the releases are spaced out. Makes it easier to get 2x of each. Quote
Slave IV Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 This will be a lifelong dream for me come true. Seems like Arcadia is sticking with the premium option but I'm curious how it will go with these. I don't care too much but if it's not too much more, I might bite. Also curious what finish the KOs will come in. Basically, my main delima is how many of what types of these sets I'm going to buy.

If these are going to cost 250-300 I may just get more 1/48's lol I can't make up my mind. Someone convince me to buy one! Quote

Now we can stop blaming Bandai and Arcadia for their colors. And I can undestand now why these two are more saturated because space add a little dullness to the color. But for me, I rather go with the HMR Super Packs color combo. 1 hour ago, Duymon said: the releases are even split to reduce wallet shock thank god 52 minutes ago, Cowboy17 said: God can you imagine the suffering having to order these both at once? C'mon, you guys already know that even if they're going to get released the same month we will still preorder both. With budget or not. I mean, are we going to let this chance pass us by again?

danth Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Cool, an M&M release that I can probably get before they instantly sell out! Quote
ZorClone Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 I'm glad they're doing this for everyone that's never had a chance to get the pair. Not sure if I'll join in though considering my original 1/48 pair cost a total of 19,800 in 2009! I just can't justify the cost difference in a smaller scale. However if a VF-1D shows up I'll probably bite down and just deal with it. Quote

However if a VF-1D shows up I'll probably bite down and just deal with it. I have some 1/48's and all of the Yamato v2's. I love the 1/48's and will never get rid of them, but damn are the v2's such an overall improvement. I like the Fighter mode the best on the 1/48's but feel the nose cone is a bit too long in Battroid mode and the Gerwalk mode imo is not as good as the v2's. Also the V2's dont suffer from the arm droop in fighter mode and the Super parts are easier to attach/remove imo. To each their own, but once I got the v2 in hand I was corrupted and went full on v2 mode. I kept the 1/48 Armor sets in the 3 color schemes they came in with appropriate valks , the Super stealth and the low vis v1. I think I'm OK with just keeping those as Yamato never redid the Super Stealth, low vis v1 and v2. They also never revisited the Urban Camo and Woodland Camo. Quote
Isamu-7 Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) Finally !!!! I will buy both on premium !!! Thank You Arcadia !!!! Edited April 12, 2017 by Isamu-7 Quote

Preorder cancelled! LoL! If Arcadia put the tampo printing on the bottom of the wings, and used those colors for the super parts (which appear darker for Milia's 1J than they do for Max's 1J due to the lighting) then there would be chaos on the forum. And knowing myself, I would still buy them. Edited April 12, 2017 by technoblue Quote
sh9000 Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Max and Milia are 2 of my favorite characters. I'll get a set of premium versions. Quote
Moosey Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 If they're doing this - hope springs eternal for an Elintseeker rerelease....... Quote
General Rasp Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Hopefully next we will yes the Elintseeker rerelease. I can't see Arcadia releasing another VF with their current schedule. Quote
