I think ..like the last two years..this maybe de schedule.

February 2016 (like VF-0D) Reactive armor

May 2016 (like VF-1J Armored) VF-0A CF

August 2016 (like VF-0A Shin) VF-4?

December 2016 (like VF-0S) "Insert your wish here".

Not a official info...but that what I think.

looks like the VF-4 is out in feb...https://twitter.com/ARCADIA_Co_Ltd/status/654244665026211840

So....

2016:

Feb - VF-4G

May - VF-0A CF?

August - Reactive?

Dec - YF-21/Destroid Cheyyenne/SV-51/(Just wishing act)....

FEBRUARY!

This is arcadia's chance to make good with the Fans...release it at close to original prices!

Though if they do, i know they will annoy greatly those who bought it aftermarket or those still selling aftermarket...

if they dont and price it way up, it may be negative in the sense its just a re-release and nothing's changed!

either way, from a company strategy point of view, am not sure they should have touched on it...but hey you cant please everyone...

I wonder if the drakenvalk would be a contender for fav valk once delta is out...or maybe the least fav depending on how it transforms!

my brand new Alto VF-171EX! Sealed minty fresh!

this one makes the Valkyrie tally now 75!!!

Wow spanner thats a very nice close-up and angled shot you made....fits the 171 valk triangle shape nicely!

This is the other pic from the toysdaily site..

Inner leg stripes!! sticker or tampo??

But it seems the head laser stripes are on in every new pic we see ...hopefully that stays the way till release.

UNSpacey on fuel tanks is still hard to see though, but i have a feeling its not gonna be there.

Thank everyone, glad you enjoyed the photos.

@treatment, they both are great but the Valk looks better. I stopped collecting TFs to focus more on Macross.

Lucky you did wlse we wont get shots like these as often

thumbs up for the salivating pics...i thk i might have to get that valk!

There you go

It looks like a re-issue, colors and proportions looks unchanged...tho arcadia mentions is available to book at the end of the month?

How much would it go for?

for me its plain and simple..

FB12 markings = YES

Original release colors = NO

Question is then when will they release it? Has there been any mention of that? My guess still is 2nd quarter 2016 after VF-0S & RA parts..

No mention yet, but leaking the info before the 0s/RA/CF's are out would likely mean a stack of 4 arcadia's within prob within a 6 - 8 mth period. And with Delta launching soon, there may be added bandai chogokin releases...wooofff..get ready your budgeting powers!!

I might even grab one if it's the same gray markings, and just customize it. I'm always afraid to do anything like that because of the potential to muck up the customization.

Perhaps the older versions may drop in price for the adventurous customiser!

I would thk to justify any new selling price, there has to be some differentiation be it in die-cast or even mold. Hopefully 'if' its the 4G it would come out sleeker(Is that even possible?) Its entirely feasible that not disrupting aftermarket prices of the Yammies, would also help them maintain their price points other than the obvious 'costly to make' argument.

However this is really stretching the market demand. I myself am not sure i can keep up with all of arcadia's releases, they seem to be getting more frequent?

This would affect the demand 0 CF's...0S not so much as it tied to armor...but if the pull for 4G is great then maybe both armor and 0S maybe less in demand..

C'mon arcadia at least give us more bang for the buck instead of a recolor/remold thingy....

I'm sorry for those folks dying to get their hands on a tan nosed FB VF-4, a bit of a disappointment I'll grant you.

I'm delighted for me (and many others) though who didn't get one of these first time around.

I'd love to say it was patience paying off that means I might get one at MSRP this time, but in honesty it had more to do with the scary aftermarket prices!

Arcadia may have well figured out the demand for this and priced it accordingly.

For all fan's sake if its not a massive price hike it would be good, however with arcadia's prices nowadays you cant be completely sure.

Their MSRP seem to want to reach aftermarket prices of similar released versions...

does it look like the VF-14 silluotte folks? if it is am gonna find a enclosed space and squeel...

wow this thread suddenly exploded....i bet there is a lot of squinty eyed MWForummers going around today!

i saw the twitter feed as well..what is this code...?!

Brand name "complete deformation ○○ - ○○ ○○○○○○" is!

I think the logical name that fits is ....SV-51 IVANOV!!!

sorry didnt mean to shout

not moving parts per se, but removable armor plates . you know like when the armor detonates upon missile impact..

sorta explained in the vid...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t459NbF5Vek @1:32 ...

from the 0a/0s thread...

I do hope so. But I'm still conditioning my mind and my wallet on the said 'expensive' price so that I won't get too disappointed or frustrated the moment they announce how much it's going to cost. I mean, I'm already decided to get one despite how much the cost it's going to be. But it's better for me to think that it's going to get released for about Y20K+. I will feel much better if they will release it for Y10K and less, so better if that happens, I just might buy 2 sets just to 'help out' the company.

if its 1/3 of your budget will you get 3? Cmon arcadia give us a reason to help you

I was telling myself that Arcadia bought too much of this 0D blue... Lol

yea i think the answer to why the 0d blue and to a certain extent 0a's blue is beginning to be quite clear now....

it is indeed a lot of plastic! in a way almost too much plastic.. but im gonna stick to my guns on this one and bet it'll be mid to high teens price for sure. Making it roughly 50% of a latter Valks msrp.

I hope the reactive armor plates are somehow removable and there are effect parts. That would really up the plastic count and justify a tag...otherwise perhaps some metal bits but i dont thk it would have....

Hmm i thk this discussion would best be continued in the reactive armor thread...

Or higher based on Mr.K's blog. You know that one, right? Why it costs more.

But, if they release it like Y10K or less, I'll get two.

Above 20k would b on the excessive side just for a piece of armour... Unless it comes with an ghost booster set or something, I thk mr k will need to write another blog entry!

got it at ami....

Wish they'd list the reactive armor alongside the Zero-S.. :/ probably wont see that till march or april at the earliest..

I take it as a seperate listing just for the armour? Am ot sure how they will handle the release with the 0 CF's also due out...maybe before the CF's?

It would be nice to get it ordered now, but my wallet is saying take ur time....there is a nagging part which hopes it would not be priced at more than 10k yen...but knowing the popularity it might just be above....

enjoy...........

Nice balance on the toes there yeti...it looks like an optical illusion ... how on earth did u do it....

Wait... They made a Macross TWO...?

No it doesnt exist...no no no...

This is the best news this morning. I may have to get two copies now!

Thats what i thought too.. but with delta coming am so conflicted....

If this is true I might die from joy instantly....

...and than wait for the Renewal versions.

hahaha...so do we wait or not?

What I gathered from the podcast was that Bandai might not have anticipated Frontier's popularity and rushed the production of the version 1. It's based purely on speculation but I hope we don't have to see it happen this time since they might be unveiling their toys early. Maybe. I hope they will. Pretty please.

The big question is; will we see a VF-25G reissue announced?

Am not sure abt any reissue's on frontier...it hasnt been that long of a break since the last, has it?

The thought of a new possible valk announcement does make me go silly from waiting tho...

Macross Delta press releases are on Oct29th. Tamashii Nations having a mega exhibition on Oct30th.

Would it be possible that the next chogokin from bandai be from the new Delta series?
