fenrir72 Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 So for another great mystery to Robotech (the first is where the SDF-1 spacefold drives disappeared to), where those runner part 30 and 32 go to? Seriously, hlj and amiami are so useless on this issue, maybe one member in the site can answer this? 1. They need to be a local Japanese (or someone who can read Nihonggo) and a resident 2. Ordered theirs from Arcadia 3. Kept the order number/code 4. Contact customer support to know where those darn parts go to. Quote

Could you post pics for reference? I don't have the regular Arcadia but have the old Yamato's. The parts numbers may have changed but the actual parts would be the same. Maybe the old Yamato's could provide the answer. Quote

wmkjr Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) From the assembly kit instruction manual: The google translation for the lower right says that they're parts that disappear after completion so you do not have to install it. I believe the forward section hides it. I dunno how the instruction book looks but it may have stated it in there already. Save that white paper. It's your serial number for your SDF-1. Might be of help if you can get HLJ or whomever to contact Arcadia. Edited December 29, 2017 by wmkjr Quote

To Arcadia: You may have had released one of the most awesome SDF-1 versions ever (since the 1/3000 Takatoku) but your R/D or customer support brain trust leave a lot to be desired! #decal 8 wrong fit. The other decals on the main gun are a bit off alignment and now this! Jeez! I still love you guys! Arrgh! Quote

valhary Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Arcadia has the rights and the possibility is real it's just a matter that want to do it Quote

The problem is they can only cater to the Japanese market and they aren't fans of the SDFM version. The rest of the world is. Quote
easnoddy Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 The Megahouse SDF-1 has nearly doubled in value on the secondary market. I'd say there's demand. Quote

Nah, it sat in stores for quite awhile. Long enough to ponder if we wanted to buy two and flounder on it for a year. It was the same with the VF-11C. It goes for $500+ now, but it languished in shops until people found out Yamato was going under then they all rushed to buy. Quote

A great irony that the releases few were interested in when they came out are now ridiculously expensive. Quote
fenrir72 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I'd have gotten the MH version if it wasn't a parts former. If it triples in price, might be like what the HMR Monster is going to cost in the future! Quote

Once the Monster sells out, or Bandai some how tanks, then it'll be the most "popular" and expensive thing ever. Quote
moy Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Is there going to be a 1/2000 sdf1 reissue? Quote

Boobytrap Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Gimme gimme gimme. Although it looks like the paint on one of the squares is a little sloppy. Hopefully that's not a regular issue. Quote
HardlyNever Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 This doesn't look like something you want to handle a lot, with all those little paint apps. That's fine with me, as this is pretty much the definition of a shelf-queen imo. Quote

spacemanoeuvres Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) USD has been on a townward tick. Was over 1-114 a couple weeks back. Less than 1-109 now and outlook is bearish. I’ve not managed to time my purchases well in a few months lol Edited January 27, 2018 by spacemanoeuvres Quote

Tired of the frustration of items getting sold out 4 minutes after they post a sale and never restocking. It's always that or they email me that it is restocked and by the time I get the email and click link it's sold out again. Or my favorite this scenario like this putting something on sale for a price you can't refuse when they clearly have like 3 to sell because it's sold out in minutes. Don't even visit their page anymore. Amiami or Mandrake only Edited February 6, 2018 by SuperDimensionalDave Quote

Silvie's Valk on the other hand was kaput! They emailed me like 5 minutes late! Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Very nice deal. I’m glad I was not awake when this went up because I probably would have bought one lol Have to save up for upcoming valks Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 I've got a web monitor plugin running, scanning various searches for changes and then emailing me. Works pretty well, and definitely gets faster results than their email. Quote
