Arcadia SDF-1 Movie version 1/3000 reissue

[Shizuka the Cat]

April 30th for the PF 1/3000 DYRL SDF-1, 53,784 yen

[HardlyNever]

Has anyone heard anything on the PF version?  I still haven't gotten a payment request from NY, and it is supposedly due out in two weeks.  I'm starting to worry this will be pushed back like the PF milia, which could definitely be an issue for me.

[Slave IV]

I'm hoping it's delayed. I want to save my money longer.

There was only a nine day warning before payment was due on Milia.  If that holds we should see a payment request sent out by end of this week or next weekend.

[Bahamutzyro]

Hope it’s delayed lol

[jenius]

I wouldn't mind a delay... It'll give me more time to enjoy my Riobots Mospeada.

[Mommar]

There isn’t anything that says there can’t be a delay so close to a release but for Milia we had a twenty seven day warning of the change.

[erizai]

lol, looked like everybody think alike...

As always. 

 

[Saburo]

I want to pay now, I have the money set aside for it and the longer it takes the more chances of me spending it something else.

[Sanity is Optional]

I have mine sharing a box with a VF-1A from NY, so I had to pay for them together.

NY? You could pay anytime.

Pay now, pay later, one way or another Macross continually takes all our money! And we give it up happily

True, but I always wait till the send the payment request because getting your money back from NY can be a pain if there are any complications.

Just got a release date email from NY: 4/28

[brouken]

Yep, got the email from NY as well. April 28 it is. Chose to pay mine already. Might end up spending the money on something else. Hehe!

I still hope they did at least some detail work on Macross City, though the lack of any last minute prototype pics is making me keep my expectations low.

Just glad I'm able to get and afford this now. 

[HardlyNever]

Got the same email from NY. My heart sank when I saw the subject line.  But it was actually good news! Sorry to all the haters who wanted a delay 

Hopefully no issues with this like there were with the Kairos.

[sumyumgoy]

I got excited when I saw the email...thinking it was the Kairos haha.

Can't wait to get this one though.  I think we just wanted to hold onto our money for just a little bit longer 

[Lolicon]

No delays please because...

[007-vf1]

I wouldn’t necessarily call this a delay. The original release date last year was set for the 30th. They pushed it to an earlier release date in the end

Now, Lets hope NY shipping release times doesn’t take forever.

[ZorClone]

I really hope once this ships they will let us know if they made a decision on a TV version, cause I canceled my PF PO on the hope that it becomes a reality, lol.

[jenius]

Did they do anything to inspire hope of a TV version? I thought that ship has sailed but would love to hear it was on their radar... Certainly that would be a better seller than an sv51.

Towards the bottom of this interview, it is briefly mentioned.

Not a lot to hang your hat on, but at least there is some level of interest.

Yes, there was an article last year where they said it is something they want to do.

“Even though we are re-releasing the movie version of the SDF-1 Macross, we do want to do the TV series version as well but that is still undergoing approval from the copyright holder. Personally, I really want to do it.

[jenius]

Well if they can ever get that done it'd be a pleasant surprise.

[Saburo]

Payment has been made.

Thanks @no3Ljm as always for the gif. The main gun should be firing 2 more times this month for my POs.

Hmmm. Copyright holder. I think Arcadia will have that opportunity by 2021 then.

Two times you say? There you go.  

You're welcome by the way. Hope to create more soon.

BW will also be shy with licenses for a bit while a new show is being prepared... Usually a new show means new negotiations.

[ArchieNov]

Just paid. Man I never want to do something like this again. This is the most I ever spent on a single toy that I already think is overpriced.

Edited April 17, 2018 by ArchieNov

[Lolicon]

You bought it, so I guess it wasn't too overpriced. 

Hope it releases and gets to my door step before I leave town for the next few weeks. 

[Smiley424]

Just paid my Nippon-Yasan bill for this bad boy.  Now my wallet is $500+ lighter.  I missed this the first time around and seeing the announcement for the Premium Finish this time around, got in a pre-order on day one.  Time to reorganize the display for this one!

I bought it now even though it's way overpriced because it's likely that it'll become even more expensive later on. I don't know if there's anyone who will actually debate saying this toy is fairly priced for what you get.

Besides, I already sold off my Yamato SDF-1 in anticipation of this one.

[Lolicon]

People can bitch and moan all they want about the price.  But if they bought, then it clearly wasn't too expensive. Not when we're talking about luxury items. 

Actions, not words.

[ArchieNov]

Huh? Do you really believe that statement? If so, then I don't think you understand what you're saying. Something can be overpriced, but can still be afforded. Just because I am able to buy it doesn't change my opinion that it's overpriced.

Look at these Apple products. They charge 10x more for their accessories than other brands.
