Slight correction.  This is the first re-issue from Arcadia.  Yamato had two runs of it prior.  This one has more Tampo though.

Thanks Mommar, that’s right. I forgot about the Yamato reissue of the VE-1 without the rainbow canopy. 

Wouldn’t it be great if Arcadia could revive the rainbow canopy design in the PF version???

Now, now. Be careful what you wish for. You don’t want to give Arcadia any ideas to re-release their Premium Finish Valks and apply the rainbow tint treatment on the canopies and start calling it their Ultimate Finish. :rolleyes:

I know the rainbow canopies had their problems but I’m  Willing to give them another shot. 

There is the Yammie v.2 30th VE-1 up for grabs on Manda for 28k yen if your interested (provided that you don't already have the Yammie version already).  :rolleyes:

Can't wait to get my hands on my copy, dig up the HMR VE-1 (still in the box) from storage and take pics along with it!  

Edit: Based on the pics above, no side fillers for Battroid mode (for those who want to display it in that mode)?

Nothing from amazon yet :/

I think I get an email from Amazon every other week about this release... you should check your spam folder. My last email told me the 25th IIRC.

Man, gotta wonder how long it's going to take for Amazon Japan to ship out. They're usually one of the first to go.

Go to Amazon, click "your orders" and scroll to the item. If you haven't been getting the emails, you'll see the dates on there. It looks like they're not expecting it for a few more days.

I have two coming from different sources, and at least one is due on Tuesday. Been wanting a VE-1 for some time, just for its uniqueness, and now I'll have one for display and a spare. I think these will probably be the last VF-1 toys I buy. I'm hoping Bandai will stretch into new territory and make some of the valks that have never had toys before, and a YF-21  to go with their 19.

Still no shipping from Amazon on my VE-1 or SHF Ronin yet.

I'm not expecting Ronin 'til tomorrow, but Amazon delivered my VE-1 today:

So let's play "Yamato vs. Arcadia!"

1603706888_firstglance.thumb.jpg.284da757ab68c925acd0896087c748ee.jpg

At first glance, they're nigh-identical... The only significant difference is the rainbow canopy on the Yamato, and the painted eye on the Arcadia boosters.

By Yamato standards, their VE-1 was already "premium finish," with tampographed warnings, numbers, and insignia other releases didn't get...

1675498456_Arcadycockpit.thumb.jpg.e62b094bc65fc99258cf2d09255abd03.jpg

Arcadia's added even more, however... and even a couple new painted details.

Does each wing need TWELVE identical "no step" warnings?

Maybe not, but it looks much better than none at all.

Note the Yamato already had UN Spacy markings on the FAST packs...

1467067110_arcadyboosters.thumb.jpg.d1d63fc29814170bbc8bb70b8fe77a84.jpg

...but again, Arcadia included more tampo and additional paint app's.

The only significant difference in color is the pilot uniforms...

...and surprisingly enough,  a minor difference in the cockpit graphics.

Perhaps most importantly of all, Arcadia included bonus parts the original Yamato release never came with.  :good:

If any..

I did say perhaps..

Sorry, thought I missed something. I think the most major difference is the screw covers they put in the legs now... which are honestly annoying because access to that screw is crucial if you have a landing gear door pop out. Other than that it's all about the tiny painted details.
