Valk-1S Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Ouch that's quite pricy. Wonder whether there's any difference to Yamato 1/60. At that price I rather spend on Bandai if you can get them at RRP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 looks black where the option parts go? i wonder if that's the shadow of the photo or a set dark option parts under the armpit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valk-1S Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 to 16,590 yen, this is the expensive decalsIf VF is made by Arcadia, then there should not be any difference, they have bought Yamato. Just curious whether there is any difference given the price difference from Yamato. Yamato VF-1 RRP was 9,800 Yen, this appear to retail at 15,800 (with 5% tax = 16,590). Huge price increase. Perhaps this is the price Arcadia need to charge to be profitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Ghost Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 No idea, probably as the price difference is justified by the fact that it will be a super collector's piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 The extra cost us probably at least partially due to the large amount of Tampo printing required. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvmacross Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Did Arcadia need to bend over even more for the license??? Speculation will make this thing sell-out...... We'll find out when the first "regular" release is announced I suppose......30000JPY each for a Max or Miria??? Maybe Arcadia has been keeping an eye on the "market".....

usagiz Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Ok, I want one, and that had better be 100% tampo printing! It seems like a good way for Arcadia to test the Macross toy market waters... I hope they don't start down the path to repaint VF-1 with random artist designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Does it mention anywhere that it's a limited run though? even if we're not sure how many they will print, i'm pretty sure it'll be out of print after the 30th anniversary (this year) is over. question is will it sit like the 1/48 vf-1s black gold or will it sell out and enhance collectibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahab Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It's great to see that the line looks like it will continue, but that is one gnarly looking bird! It'd be nice if Arcadia chimed in with a VF-4 release to reassure the collector base. Plus I'd like to have one without shelling out $800+.

connor99 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I guess I'll skip this one. The thing just doesn't look right, specially in fighter mode. Way too many decals, stickers or whatever the hell they are. Looks more like Nascar than Macross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stillAkid Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 i wonder why japanese company like yamato/arcadia spend so little on marketing. with the price of the item they are selling, cant they just do more on the marketing? look at the news we are having, just a small piece of news from a magazine. sigh. will arcadia bankrupt again? imagine arcadia just bought over yamato, a big come back with nice advertisement to make everybody waiting, that would make sense right?

raptormesh Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Well they did say 1 to 2 valks per year and looking at their new price point perhaps they are still testing the waters to see if the business plan makes sense. I'm willing to bet they are still focusing much of their energy on the figures though. Going to have to pass on this one I'm afraid. It'll still sell well I hope, as the fandom's pretty keen on any new valk at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
