  1. yeah, i dunno. like I said, i expected it to be more like a toy, and less like a model kit if that makes any sense. It does look great in fighter, i'll give it that. I had some of the old-school yamato vf-1 releases. I had the 1/48 low vis at one point, but i think i took it out of the box once before i traded it away and dont remember anything about it. This is my first 1/60. I really like the hi-metal Rs; ill concentrate on those from here on out I guess.
  2. hlj. Standard box in a box surrounded by air pillows. So as I said before, this is my first arcadia. And I have to say, i'm a little disappointed. It lacks heft, feels fragile. I changed it into battroid and thought i was going to snap everything off. poseability is just OK, the gunpod is flimsy and doesn't sit well in the hands which kind of limits the posing you can do with it. proportions look nice but honestly i care about that the least. i dunno what i expected, really, i just thought maybe.....just a little bit more for the 200+ dollars. Were the old Yamato v2s better or worse than the current Arcadias? Maybe I should hunt those instead.

    Converters! that's what they were called. http://www.toyarchive.com/Convertors/Convertors.html Stuff from Orguss, Dorvack, Galvion, Macross was in here...among others

    Ha! i had the vf-1s from this line. I forget what they were called, but there was an sdf-1 as well, along with some other mecha from other anime.
  5. I just got mine in. First Arcadia - is there any metal content in these suckers?

    Is anyone concerned that the fighter mode stand mount will rub the UN SPACY paint off of the gunpod?

    Just got my CF in. This is my 2nd hi metal R, the first being the armored vf-1j. I never bothered transforming it. the 1A is the first one ive tried to transform and its....fiddly. Not exactly the smoothest of transformations. Looks great though!

    when is the milia pre order?
  13. I have the old old old Yamato vf-1s v1 from back in 2001 or 2002, along with 3 of the Low-Vis Valks. This is my first yamato/arcadia since then. I figure the VF-1S strike/super is the ultimate vf-1s, so I feel comfortable stopping here for arcadia vf-1's. Everything else i'll pick up in Hi-Metal. Arcadia too pricey.
  14. I might wait a bit before i ship this, see if the exchange rate gets any better

    Oh great. Dollar has cratered vs the Yen lately. 1 USD is down under 100y now.
  16. I have two preordered. Might throw one back.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Hey guys. Last night during all of the HLJ shenanigans with timeouts and page not founds, i tried to buy like 3 times. Well, it looks like I still have ONE of those attempts still sitting in my cart. (one of my prior attempts went through and I got my valk). I don't know if being "in cart" puts an inventory hold on the item or not, but I'm about to release it immediately after this post posts. So those of you who missed out, see if it comes back up as available.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    finally got my order confirmation on hlj, but not seeing it in Orders history yet

    Bandai DX VF-31

    will hlj put the preorder up as soon as its available? not sure how these usually go....
  20. Any way i could get a couple of these, or are they long gone?

    Hi-Metal R

    I hit the eject button. That shipping is more than I wanted to pay - plus I am at my limit as far as space goes anyways. Id rather have a couple of valks than 1 Monster.
  22. There's already a Macross Quarter toy.

    I think it might be worth it to pick up a cannonfodder vf-1a and use it as a parts donor.
