Kinzoku VF Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 I still own my Clown Arcadia ver....(my appreciation of it grew over the years). I did a 1/60 5 Grand version (back when Yamato used to do the best thing eve: .'blank VF-1s')...Wish Arcadia would release those again. I still have a few unbuilt ones left, but keeping them until I decide on a scheme that kicks ass. Here's an old pic my 5G attempt from years back. Quote

Yep....several Hasegawa designs would sell like hotcakes.......either those designs would come at a high price tag for Arcadia...or they have really no clue what would sell Quote

Listen, and understand. That Macross Beast is in us all. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you buy ever single last VF. Quote

It would seem they have pretty much all of them and are in the process of actually putting them to good use. Maybe Arcadia can try and go for the M3 or VF-X/VF-X2 licenses....maybe that would provide them with a loophole to produce some of the valks people want. Or just partner with Hasegawa and start doing those schemes.....that could also provide them with a loophole to make several VF types. Quote

Slave IV Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Only way I get one of these is on clearance and for the specific purpose of wearing the FEXT Thunder Hammer armor over it. Quote

MW was so consuming. i hope it's like that with the new series around the corner. Arcadia please do something new!!! Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Really lost the little interest I had for this scheme. Got a preorder in with the new 1/48 VF by Bandai. That VF robbed all my attention. Don't get me wrong I love the 1/60 VF-1 v2, I have more than 30 and they scale with the 1/60 Mac Zero, Plus, Seven, Dynamite and VFX1 valks. I don't believe the new VF by bandai rendered the 1/60 v2 obsolete, but at Arcadia prices, they better come up with a nice scheme cause they are not receiving my money for the VF-1. I only missed the Angel Bird, the VFX prototype and the 1J CF from Yamato but have everything else. Don't know how long Arcadia will survive in the VF market. Quote
