The best of luck to you. This kind of "complain" is the way to make things change for the better.

YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS ! ! ! ! And if you excuse my english... VAMOS CARAJO !!!!!!!!! Now... breathing normally.... This is great news. GREAT news. If they are re-relasing the YF-19 I´ll say NOW AND WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT that they are going to lauch the SDF-1 . In any version, I don´t care, but they´ll release it... And, let´s face it. Much of us were willing to pay any price for a Yamato valk in perfect condition. Will you be surprised if this Valk turns to be "expensive". Of course not... Prices are high all around the world. And even in China they have to pay the workers accordingly. All of you want this Valk to cost 100 dollars? Of course it´s not.... Think about it. Even in the 200 dollars price range, if they manage to secure stock and avoid scalpers (2 pieces max per customer), it´ll be a reasonable price.

Hi guys. I´ve ordered a VF-171CF and the Arcadia 30th Ann VF-1J.... (quite strange not to write Yamato there...) I just couldn´t resist... There´s an almost-non-used VF-11B here in a auction site in my city, but for about 200 USD I think it´s expensive... Opinions?

Damn.... Thanks for the "quite-too-much-sincere-straight-answer"... It´s ok... Now let´s hope I´m not getting Bandaided.... (YF-29 "30th" - Quarter - VF-25s V1 and König Monster came ok at least...)

Hi everyone ! I just love this Valkyrie... I´ve already preordered one.... Just like NeoverseOmega said, the flow of the lines in the different modes are a joy to see... Just look at the backpack and the tip of the rudders, or the wings ! With all the stickers it was kind of a mess, but naked its quite beatiful.... Well, now to wait. Let´s hope not much.

Hi everyone. I ordered one too. While waiting for my VF-17 to come, I couldn´t resist the amiami price for the VF-171 CF.... It´ll be a nice add to the MacrossF collection Now to hope my proxy doesn´t have any problems.... And the figure neither.... Reading the thread it seems that QC are a little worse than with the Alto release... Or am I just imagining things?

And what would be the problem with that?Really asking, because I can´t see anything wrong...

Hola gente ! Ya hice la presentación "en inglés" pero aquí estamos en nuestro queridísimo idioma. Soy Gustavo, de Buenos Aires, Argentina, y estoy a vuestras órdenes para lo que necesiten ! (menos plata... que ya no tengo de tanto gastar en figuras... jajaja) Saludos ! Astro

Amazing ! Just try not to put your wallet too close to that thing ! Or your child... or you, in any case !

For me it´s quite simple. The VF-1 is the most popular Valkyrie everywhere in the world. FACT. So it´s quite natural to relaunch the variable fighters line with the most known and most "amortised" mold. Arcadia, IMHO, is going to relauch maybe all of the VF line. Maybe even the SDF-1. Why? Because the molds cost a fortune. And there´s no profit in letting them stay unused. Maybe not every variant (´cause even that is a waste of time) but the base model, no doubt. Graham, you had contact with Yamato. Now that Arcadia have announced they VF continuing the line, didn´t you have any clue about that or were you in some kind of "embargo"? No pun intended, I´m just asking. Please don´t misunderstand me So, VF-1 now. Maybe VF-4 later, and of course reissue of the VF-19 and YF-21.... and so on.... Just an opinion, without any fact of course... the same as "almost" everyone here haha

Well, at least we are discussing because of a NEW VALKYRIE from ARCADIA that now we possitively know that´s going to be made... So, try and be a little more optimistic about all this, all of you ! Yes, it´s ugly... but there´s one at least. You know... The king is dead, long live the king ! *Raising a glass of wine for Yamato.

Hi Flopers ! It´s quite funny to be talking in english, isn´t it? Contá con eso. En un rato te mando un PM con el mail del flaco, o contame que necesitás saber y le pregunto. Es muy macanudo y es de acá de Baires. Abrazo y la seguimos x PM !

Thanks ! And I´m "American" too, haha. Only a little south Now that all of us are watching the "Arcadia returns" post, I´m a little confused on what to do....

Read the entire post... he was joking about that so "nobody buys it" so he can get it as MSRP (so would I... )

No Faeries? Graham, you´ve just ruined my life... Now don´t dare tell me that Santa doesn´t exist because I won´t come back again to the forums ever... Now more seriously, I agree 100% with you. I have to admit that, living here in Argentina, seeing people complain about "price" is almost comical, but it´s not their fault... It´s just us that live in a quite nasty political time.... So, please, I hope nobody gets offended whenever I say that any price is quite reasonable...

Well, to be fair, people are paying ridiculous prices for any Yamato Valkyrie now, and you know better than me that this bird, being the first Arcadia, and a 30th anniversary is going to duplicate its price in not a very long time...And even more, they are kind of relaunching the Yamato line.... And, of course, the macroeconomical factors are to be consider... the us dollar is not in its better position, and Japan (or China, in any case) are not going to give away products at a bargain price anymore... they just don´t need to do that. So... 165 us dollars.... to us, here in the far south, it´s like a joke almost. I can´t figure why anyone could complain about that...

GREAT NEWS ! ! ! ! You`ve made my day Thanks ! Now, let´s hope a VF-4 in the near future, so the ass****es selling it for U$$ 400000 on ebay could stick that pointy nose right "there where the sun never shines"

Amazing.... If you weren´t in Barsoom... about 40 millon miles away... (haha) I´ll try and go pay you a visit to "look around a little" Thanks for sharing the pics.

Took only valk pictures with weathere FP. Oh, I couldn´t see the pics on my job.... but now ... What a plane ! And the amazing amount of Valkyries and figures that you have behind... thanks, Kicker773 ! btw, is that your "personal" collection? Do you have 4 YF-21 ??? Man... amazing Gakken85, my wife said exactly the same... and I´m saying this in a positive way. No pun intended. She loves Valkyries and "the brighter the better"... I have to agree with you that Destroids HAVE to be weathered. But seeing the weathered Valks I admit that they look "less toy - more plane" . Excuse my caveman english, I struggle to try and say something coherent ! haha

God that´s a pretty bird ! Amazing ! Have you done some mod or it looks like that just out of the box? It´s seems like a really great paint job. Thank you very much for the pics Valkyrie Magnus. Yes, it´s from HLJ that my proxy friend orders. Only it´s the version w/o the fast pack included. I think that I´m ordering this Valyrie just now... pd. What a collection you have behind in that pics !

50% here in Argentina..... plus VAT .... (21%) Lovely, isn´t it? That´s why we love "proxys" so much.... you have to pay a little premium, but you avoid internal taxes.

Hi Dimis I´ve seen that post yesterday. The "problem" is that everything´s on the box ! Even so, they look really beautiful . Thanks !

Yes. Exactly that same one. I have to admit that "my" proxy is quite a good one. It adds a 10 to 15 % of the "online store", and he brings everything to my very home. And here in Argentina if you don´t have LOTs of luck (or a convenient friend) in the customs office you are doom to pay a 50% of the price....At least here in Buenos Aires. In other cities isn´t that bad. It´s hard to be down here... believe me... Thank you very much, Kicker773 You can "fold" them whenever you like

Hi Everyone I´m starting this thread because I´d like to know more about Yamato weathering (or weathered?) Valkyries. There´s a proxy in my city wich has a 1/60 Hayao Kakizaki DRYL weathered (it should be a v2.2, according to Anymoon - http://anymoon.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Yamato-V2-Table-2.jpg ) for a quite unreasonable price, but here in Argentina no price is a reasonable price... so.... I was looking in the forums here, doing my searches, and I couldn´t find a "personal" pic of any weathered VF-1, but the official pics. I saw one of a 1/48, but it was modded too.... Anyone has or had one to post a pic or giving some advice? I´m not modder, and there´s no way I could do something like that at home (and with two children, you can imagine....). btw, please excuse my caveman english. Thanks in advance pd. The link to see te exact valkyrie is from hlj... can I post that?

Hi everyone... I don't know what to say about this thing. It's just.... Wrong... We could talk a lifetime about this or that gimmick, and I'm ok with that.... but the whole, the Valkyrie itself... It's poorly done. Oh, Yamato, why do you have to leave us ???
