sorry, but ive not had the best of experiences with arcadia thus far. i am concerned. I didn't say i was done with arcadia or whatever - i think the last few posters have overreacted to my overreaction. lol @ the downvote, what is this, reddit?
i really regret paying up front now. i don't mind waiting, but all of this makes it sound like this is going to be a disaster of a release, quality-wise. Losing confidence in Arcadia
Just want to add that these particular takatoku valkyries were sold individually in the US as part of a different toyline in the mid 80s. I had the VF-1S as a kid, and there was also an SDF-1 in the line. I forget the name of them but I remember they were sold in department stores, back when department stores had toy sections.
I have a Metal Material Impulse Gundam that yellowed after 3 years in a box. I had it out on display for a few months, boxed it up, and the next time I saw it several years later every white/grey part on it had yellowed.
The non-premium Strike Roy has been going in and out of stock with great regularity on HLJ over the last 6 months. I think Arcadia is still shipping product in bunches here and there.
