Hi,
Just some comments on this thread... resin kits have rabid followers in Japan (and more and more each year now in the US). The appeal is in the exclusivity, and pride in the craft of the build. I think they will get snatched up, even at this price. This would be a really large toy for Arcadia to release, so I wouldn't hold your breath. Think of the cost, too. I stopped collecting Yamato valks in the 60 scale due to the high price (I know that makes me a loser Macross fan ) and that the plastic parts are too flimsy.
I predict that they will release decals with the kits... it's standard fare.
Building resin kits is not that bad, although they seem daunting at the onset. I have acquired a few great ones recently. Getting skilled with paint is the tough part. Honestly if it comes cast in grey (standard uncolored resin is tan) like they show I would leave it unpainted... I think models look great that way.
Great looking kit, if I was swimming in cash I would buy 5 of them like the previous member joked.
