Am pretty much holding out till 2020 for anything m+ related, since thats the 25th anniversary year.

Wow. In 3 years... Probably a new or renewal YF-21 1/60 Kanzen Henkei figure. :rolleyes:

But reality check first. I'm getting old and there's no stopping that. I really need to ask myself should I stop collecting Macross in 3 years time or wait until I hit 50 within the next 7 years? Priorities, priorities. :unsure:

Or ever? A collector is a collector

That's true. A collector is a collector. But you have to agree, everyone needs discipline for it. ^_^

Discipline? Is that some strange new way of spelling disposable income or shelf-space?

Nah. I don't have enough shelf-space because I don't have enough shelf to display everything to begin with. :lol:

Hahaha! :lol:  It's the same thing with them. We don't understand them too. We also roll our eyes whenever they want to buy new bags and new shoes. ^_^

Why do you think Arcadia does such small runs for their releases?  I know Yamato over saturated the market, but when Arcadia has a release that sells like crazy why don't they do more re-releases?

I figured they were doing it for the same reason that Bandai doesn't do re-releases of their DX Chogokin figures: limited availability helps them sell out initially and increases desirability.

Most of their items are already re-releases to begin with. Which item did you feel sold like crazy? I haven't had any issues getting anything from them. Most, if not all (except maybe a PF?) have been available months after the release. They did re-release their YF-19 but I'd say it's arguable whether that was necessary or not.

Besides what Sanity is Optional stated, I think they would be running a big risk of having shelf warmers.

I think the safe answer for this is that they're being careful now compared during the Yamato days. Like you said, Yamato over saturated the market. And look what happened to Yamato after that. And like Mr.K told his blog before that there's some figures that he wants to go back to but if the big bosses says no, then he's not going to do it. And to think that there's a lot out there from Yamato era and still those are going up. And Arcadia still pulls this stunt of selling everything high price and still sells in the next couple of months upon release. It's a wonder that Yamato collectors still buys Arcadia products even though it's the same thing over and over. Even me. ;) I guess what they're doing is just do it slowly. See what people want the most and then release it. But at the end of the day, all of this are just assumptions and speculations. There's no real answer out there unless we meet someone who works there and tell us the whole deal. ^_^

True. It really helps to spark interest. ;)

I forgot about that YF-19 reissue last year. But it still sold out. I really think that they really produce in limited quantities.

I bought a VF-1S Roy super/strike from Arcadia with no complaints. It's not like I had any Yamato 1/60 figures, and buying one on the used market would cost more than the Arcadia.

This is true for people who's just starting collecting Macross Kanzen Henkei figures.

Guys, those are KO products. And there's already a thread for that.

Did Arcadia or Yamato make a 1/60 Regult like that? I don’t remember, but I could be wrong. If they did it’s a KO. It could also be something stolen/leaked from Arcadia. Or third party stuff may finally be coming to the Macross community. 

I looked it up, it was a resin kit.

I have the Yamato HDP 1/60 Regult and it's bigger than this. Different sculpt, the one from this link seems based off the HMR bandai Regult.
