All of Bandai's "experimentation" has lead up to this.......at this scale it will probably be the most perfect VF-1 ever.....I believe!

Ha!

Kinda cool how Bandai unleashes it's TV VF-1A with the Kaki....makes Toynami's TV max look lamer.....

You've heard it, you've seen it.....and you're still asking questions? - The Goose

Fortune and Glory

The DX VF-1 Prophesy fullfilled? I would be ok with this being just a set of the Skull squadron........in ultimate detail..... Wow...... LOL....said it for you! what a morning!

Wow! time to upgrade!

Well Golly! Best. Day. Ever.

LOL! Where's Treatment?

A second one?

I would say this is the holiest grail in my vintage Macross toy collection....if not my Macross collection in general....I no longer have any grail items that I am chasing down....feels good to be a casual Macross collector....so much product to choose from....and for the most part, new stuff is easy to acquire these days....

Unless a re-issue is released....

1/60 Yamato VF-1D Virgin Road...52,000 JPY http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g162561512

Hopefully Bandai sticks to their announced plans for this line...to me it's the best overall Macross toy line available. I can see it easily expand to other Macross series once they finish up with SDFM/DYRL.

Wonder if any Arcadia valks will make it to the Black Friday sale this year? Dang...this year flew by for me!

All I remember from the original show was the opening theme song....wasn't the original series in competition with the new Twilight Zone at the time?

Close to 8 inches including the big guns

Maybe....But here's the back of the wallet for now...

My wallet won't burn, it's protected by a super dimensional barrier system...but it seems to uncontrollably space fold cash straight into Bandai's and Arcadia's bank accounts....

Wait...this is Megahouse....what are the chances for another nod to the original Takatoku-style vintage packaging? Just like they did for the Orgroid.... Looking forward to displaying this next to the original 1/6300 Takatoku!....

Well, apparently they also have the license for the DYRL "cactus" command ship......and we were all on pins and needles waiting for that one right? Right?!?! Maybe that is a sign of the limits of Arcadia's DYRL license......

A sneak-peek of my first and only "fire" sale......

No, just speculation...edited my post to be more of a "what if" condition....basically, if Arcadia lost rights to make 1/60-ish PT SDFM/DYRL toys, it would most likely be because Bandai would have paid BW more than what Arcadia could afford to retain them.....and Spanner76 would be forced to replace his entire collection with Bandai DX VF-1's!!!

LOL.....I'd be happy to lose that bet considering what the implication would be of Arcadia no longer owning the rights to producing 1/60-ish DYRL/SDFM VF-1 PT toys.... However, the ongoing HMR line kind of cools the idea of the prophesized DX VF-1....at least for now..... I mean Macross seems hot right now and about to get hotter...but could Bandai really keep a DX "legacy" 1/60 line, a HMR 1/100 line, and the new MD DX lines selling well all at the same time without canibalizing sales from each other? The only way that may succeed would be the complete takeover of the Macross PT toy market....in other words, no "Yamatos" around to completely flood the market and have stock selling at cut-rate prices.....so....Maybe? That would surely go against the whole new Macross marketing ploy of "Fight Together".......maybe that's just for the kits though.... When it comes to the toys.....Bandai may want it all...
