Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Is it a sign of anything? I mean, hopefully this bodes well, but how do we actually know? it says sold out currently... on twitter arcadia stated that it was unexpected demand that they reopened a second time for reservation slots and that closed out before as well. this is the third time they opened slots that closed. i think it could be a positive sign for the company and give them an early indication of the numbers for "the built to orders" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scyla Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 --snip-- I assume if Macross was a Saturday morning television show phenomenon then Arcadia would never be able to produce any toys at all because Bandai would grab the license and never let it go (or, god beware, HG and Toynami would produce merchandise that is worse then retail TFs). It is a walk on the razor's edge basically. Now the older Macross shows are not very recognized which allows small companies to make excellent but pricey collectibles for the few fans that value the quality of the pieces over the price. The alternative would be a lot of o.k. toys for kids and a collector line (dare I say Toynami Masterpiece?) that brings once in a while some old beloved character back. I'm not even sure that it would work that way for Macross because in the TF universe the cast will mostly stay the same. *hugs Rodimus Convoy* So I prefer the small collector fan base and I love the quality of the toys but it is dangerous when the products are as expensive as the new YF-19 because then the market might be too small to make a profit out of it. I don't know how merchandise would look like if Macross where like Transformers but I have to say when I held my first TF Masterpiece in hands I was a little shocked and disappointed about the quality of the toy. My first high end Macross toy was (and is) pure joy having it in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon18 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I'm sure that's good news regarding the preorders. More 19s sold, brighter future for Arcadia and us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benbot Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Arcadia has paid so much attention to every detail in this release, so surely they wouldn't reuse the same type of joint they KNOW is seriously flawed.

Mommar Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Maybe they don't know it's flawed? Enough people on here tell me that's still the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Did Yamato ever acknowledge the joint problem before they went bust? It's not something that's widespread and not something many would notice. I honestly did not know about this problem until it got mentioned here because I rarely leave my 19's in gerwalk. Time for someone to ask MrK about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I find it interesting in attempt to close the dark gap in the knee joint in fighter they've elected to us a black plastic tab. The overall effect doesn't seem to actually fix anything. It would make more sense to color that tab tan like the rest of fighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
