  1. Maybe ET is giving a nod to the best boxart Yamato ever made.....
  2. I'm hoping for a bundled edition besides the stand alone armor. Maybe an Arcadia web exclusive?
  3. Just binged watched this on Netflix over the weekend.....great show....will binge watch season 2 when it makes it onto Netflix....
  4. Apparently, ET feels confident enough on pre-sales that they have actually moved ahead with releasing more entries to this line....those deciding not to purchase it due to perceiving it as "over-priced trash" are irrelevant to ET in Japan and especially outside of Japan....since this is a niche within a niche, I would think the number of sales required to turn a profit would be quite low....thus the price point. Unfortunately, for those that have uncompromising standards for their toys, whether in build-quality, line-art accuracy, or both.....these ET VF-2SS's have one thing going for them that is superceding the usual expectations and perhaps even the desire from ET to "do better".....they are the only game in town for a 1/60-ish VF-2SS.... For those that think this is junk....you'll have to wait for something better....for everyone who is just happy to finally be getting any VF-2SS DX toy after so many years.....the wait is almost over!
  5. Not sure how folks can say that this toy does not "command" the asking price.....the fact that we are now three into this line, when the initial concern was that we would never get past the first release, would seem to contradict this belief....thankfully for everyone wanting this line to succeed, the target market seems to be all in on the Macross II line so far....all I can do is hope the Japanese collectors continue to support the line so I can get an Icarus and Metal Siren!
  6. Based on Arcadia's past record on paint choices.... All future VF-1 releases will be done in chrome.... Toynami-style!
  7. Yep....Bandai is doing the same thing....basically going with awesome illustrated boxart for the HMR line.....and they may be going the "diorama" boxart with the upcoming Monster, which was also employed for their original Hi-Metal releases of the mid-80's.... Actually, this whole retro packaging revival started with the Orguss Hi-Spec release from Mega House last year or so.... Note the box styling, colors and fonts from the original Takatoku release.... As a collector of old-school Macross....I really appreciate the added effort on packaging being done for some of these releases
  8. Nice...the colors selected for the front and back of the box are a very obvious nod to the old school Takatoku boxes... Still want a 1/3000....but I guess stubby legs will do for now...

    I'd buy destroid plushies....for my kids....yeah, that's it...
  10. It was definitely an Arcadia creation....it was tweeted by Mr. K...will try and find in one of these topics..... Found it....
  11. I'd buy that chrome plated VF-1 that Arcadia showed off on one of their tweets....anyone still have a pic of that?
  12. Arcadia is considering an ultra limited run on those....
  13. The face on the 1/20 Minmay looks wrong to me.... I'll continue to stick with this one for now.....
  14. I'd rather they finish the current VF-1 line.... VEFR-1 VF-1A "Alaska Base" VF-1D "cannon fodder colors" VF-1J "Macross The First" VF-1D "Macross The First" VT-1C SDP-1 Stampeed VF-1J "Target Practice" VF-1J "Millia from M7" VT-1 Construction

    Maybe you've missed the scene? ....Bandai is referencing it within their HMR diorama....
  17. Try these.... アルカディア ゴル・ボドルザ アルカディア メルトランディ大型移動要塞 アルカディア = ARCADIA
  18. Did this thing get carted out to WWF? Or is it officially dead?
