It's a nice surprise to see it pop up. Nice addition to anyone's collection for sure.

Finally moving into something completely new....definitely will add this to the 1/60 scale collection

[505thAirborne]

Since there will be no Bandai PO madness BS, I'll grab one for sure! 

Dear ARCADIA, you now know a VF-3000 will be your next project. 

[UN Spacy]

IN!

[Reïvaj]

Welcome back, Arcadia!!! I'm in too!

[aurance]

Holy crapballs!

[PsYcHoDyNaMiX]

wowwwww....

[Mommar]

Wow, I did not expect this to be a thing.  It's going to be one expensive thing, however, I can't imagine this is going to be a huge seller.

Funny you say that.  I was looking at the comments from the Japanese fans and they're making comments about how Arcadia is cool because they're will to sell Valks that aren't as commercially viable.

Arcadia FWMFW!

Yes indeed . I believe it !

Bandai will be scratching their heads when these sell like hot cakes.

VF-3000 first and then Yes, Yes, YES a VF-9 for sure! 

[M'Kyuun]

Lump me in with those who are happy to see a new (well not new new, but you know what I mean) valk being produced in the 1/60 scale.  def down for this, but OMG it's gonna be pricey and likely low on tampo coming from Arcadia.  Not sure where I'm gonna put it, but I'm definitely getting it.😄

 

Also down for a VF-9.  This is a good sign from Arcadia. I hope, too, they do a Variable Glaug at some point.  These old designs have been begging for love for a long time, and it makes me happy to see this. Hopefully, too, Bandai will take the hint. But first they need to extricate their thumbs from their collective anus and get that YF-21 released already! My wallet is soooo ready!

[derex3592]

Easy pass for me, no attachment to it whatsoever. Congrats to all who are excited about having a rare Macross Valk done justice by Arcadia though! I'm sure it will be pretty to look at!

final arcadia cost 5,000 dollars

 

just kidding, in for one in 2023 or 2024, whenever it releases

Shush, you! Don't give 'em ideas!

No joke, though, it's gonna be expensive, likely hovering around the $400 mark, methinks. 

[ValkAddict]

Awesome news!! But it'll be expensive ....

[mechaninac]

Oh hell yes!  The VF-11 will finally get its contemporary... I'm all in.

[recon]

Ohhh yeah, count me in for one. Does that mean they will be revisiting the sculpts and design for M7 VF-19 and VF-17? I hope they do and give it the PF treatment

[nightmareB4macross]

Oh man, I am so excited to see this. This gives me hope for the VA-3.

Aaaaaaaand maybe a Space Whale.

In my excited jabberings to my all-but-indifferent wife about the upcoming VF-5000 this evening, I mentioned the VA-3, but not in the same meaning.  I've long thought it was Kawamori's fugliest valk design, especially the battroid. That said, if a toy was to be released, I'd consider getting a copy just because of its uniqueness among the other valk designs. Not sure I'd feel great about dropping Arcadia type prices on one though.  

[Bolt]

I swore i was done with 1/60 !😭

[Lolicon]

Much more excited about this than another recolor of a poorly designed Delta valk from Bandai. 

[enphily]

wow, i'm surprised

[twich]

I too am very surprised as to this announcement, but I am very glad to see that they are innovating into something that has only seen kit form before this time.  I will look forward to wanting this when it becomes available.

Rare and expensive kit form ! I pray Hasegawa ( or Wave!) is looking on and taking notes..

Size shock incoming first (especially when previously m0 valks were huge) and then sticker shock?

all as per valk scales and dimensions of course...

Liking all the news coming out of WF so far.. Sentinel Tlead, Arcadia Hargun and now this VF-5000G! 

Since the VF-5000 is about the size of the VF-1, here's hoping but likely wishful thinking they won't price it much higher than the VF-1...
