    Had no prior experience with the franchise other than the cartoon mascot and the vintage music that goes along with it, which i find kind of creepy.... Just binged it this afternoon and thought it was great, start to finish.... I really liked the alternative time line that seems to be based on a technologically more advanced period during what appears to be the "Cold War" era of the 50's... Really liked the battlesuits and the whole "Brotherhood" cult or whatever they were considered in the post-war society.... Very much looking forward to more seasons....was kind of expecting another Rings of Power fail, but was pleasantly surprised....I guess that's 2 shows to look forward to on Prime.... So for those familiar with the games...how much of the games is covered by the first season of Fallout?

    I think it would have been better if Bandai would have continued the tradition of an "all chrome plated" toy...it would have looked nicer if all parts were finished the same as the head, shoulders, legs and gunpod....unfortunately, Arcadia did not follow through with that Macross Toy tradition.... I guess Bandai must have forgotten the Takatoku VF-1 plated toys when they referenced the "Iron Type" kits instead...no "R" in the DX line...lol

    The episode where Gloval steers the SDF-1 with the joystick and eludes thousands of Zentran missiles was arguably the best episode of the series....

    Not sure about the comparison....the KC is not chrome/silver plated

    I guess the new Chogokin 50th Anniversary VF-1J is as close as we'll get to the Arcadia Chrome VF-1S teased by Mr. K almost 10 years ago....

    The TV SDF-1 on the boxart should give you a clue...

    If you do not care waiting until after it's released outside of Japan, you can probably get a discount on it come Xmas time later this year.....outside of Japan, I doubt this particular VF has enough recognition and demand to maintain current US retail pricing....guessing it will dip below 100 USD soon after domestic release.... https://www.amazon.com/TAMASHII-NATIONS-Macross-Valkyrie-Hi-Metal/dp/B0CZQKGSQ6/ref=sr_1_9 https://www.eknightmedia.com/macross-7-vf-19-custom-fire-valkyrie-hi-metal-r-action-figure-by-bandai-tamashii-nations.html?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwiYOxBhC5ARIsAIvdH50huzpFAZIOwtAw-qXRRvIt5ZXxlLL6JNrQK_Hk-qQBxU49ZqSRT3UaAjutEALw_wcB

    It all depends on how badly US fans want it....like the DX Mechanics VF-1S...there were 2 waves.....if you waited until the second wave, you definitely paid less than those who "panic" bought when it was first released.... Another example would be the "blue" Max VF-0S.......it was not a "VF-1" from SDFM/Robotech and it was not in "canon" colors....it more or less has not gained much re-sale "value" since its original release.... Personally, I think it will not go beyond the 50K JPY range...may even drop below that after the hype clears.....it has a lot of stuff going against it....mainly the non-canon looks...it may not be desireable enough to command much demand, thus keeping the aftermarket price low....time will tell

    I had thought that it could be PO'd in advance if you were a Tamashii Club member between 4-18 to 4-24....then a more "general" sale between 5-10 to 5-24....interesting

    Ultimately....the colors should just have a subtle or limited inclusion of their "significant other's" ride....like Max's VF-1J has red stripes on the legs....and Milia has blue stripes on her -1J... The KC GBP M&M ignore this and are just....Max is blue and Milia is red On the Toynami GBP...they could have just painted the black stripes on the leg armor blue for Milia and red for Max and it would have been ok...but yeah...still much better than the KC versions....they must have had a lot of that blue-grey paint left over!
