I would hope so. If 5000~ yen is the cost to have them make the toy right the first time, then so be it. It's a small price to pay in the grand scheme of things.

Here we go. Bring on the two seater VF-1's please.

So I bought a Wave 1/100 VF-1A fighter and batroid kit, as well as a Bandai 1/100 VF-25 to play around with. Once I get them in my hands and start to build them I will keep you guys updated. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I'll pick up a Wave kit and give it a shot.

So this is something that I have wanted to do for some time now and I finally have the space to set up a work table and put some models together. I found this thread from 10 years ago and people were recommending the ARII 1/100 and Bandai 1/144 kits because they were inexpensive and beginner friendly. Are these the kits people were referring to? Arii 1/100 VF-1S Arii 1/00 VF-1D I was also wondering if anyone had any newer or additional suggestions. How are the 1/100 wave kits? Should I just dive into a 1/72 Hasegawa kit? Are there any non Macross kits you recommend? Thanks for the info.

Looks great, but you forgot the antenna. Definitely the best VF-1 toy so far. I think things will have to develop more before I start thinking about selling some of my 1/60's but I am excited to see where this goes. I was playing around with my 1/60 VF-1J Hikaru and this new DX VF-1J comparing them a bit. I only had two nit picky problems. One being the the stabilizers on the legs can get bumped to easily. The Arcadia method locks them in better. The second being the gap on the backpack when you fold the flap down for gerwalk and batroid mode. It's just a small detail that the Arcadia toy solves so easily and that Bandai seems to have just over looked.

1/48 VF-25 and YF-19. Please Bandai!
-
Mine came today and I got to play around with it for a bit. It's a really nice toy. Just like others have said, it's basically a 1/60 V2 Yamato at 1/48 scale with some Bandia flair. I'm really interested to see what they do with this line and I'm a bit worried for Arcadia. If Bandia starts pumping out other variations with super strike parts and so on, I'm not sure Arcadia will be able to compete with what is their bread and butter VF-1 toy.

Is that the Arcadia Premium Finish? I just need to bite the bullet and buy one -
Maybe I will be more excited about the SV-51 when more information comes around but at the moment I'm not really interested. I'm still dreaming about my VF-4 Hikaru...
-
I really wish Arcadia had more exciting news than a stand...

I had the same problem. Figures after I defended them earlier in this thread... It had been in "Waiting for Customer Reply" ever since the additional payment was sent out. I made a ticket and updated it a few times. Finally today they moved it to "preparation in progress". Maybe they shipped a bunch out before going on break for the holidays and are now just getting back and catching up. Make a ticket if you have not yet. Edit: Well it seems you already have. I was going to try and call them today if I did not hear from them or if my status did not change. Thankfully it did so I don't have to deal with international calls.

That video review has me aching to get my hands on mine. I want to see what Bandai has got for us next.

I have bought many valks through NY, and while they do increase the price after preorders, at least you can still purchase your desired valk most of time if you miss it. They push their stuff through shipping fast, package things well, and you don't have to deal with any possible shenanigans from ebay sellers. I think they do a good job and make buying these toys super easy. Have you all forgotten about the old days already?
-
I just bought one. It's on par with all the ebay re-sellers.

It's been a few years since I bought a new valk. I've wanted the M&M's for a while now and these premium finish ones are sweet.

You just make a text translation and post it here on the forums. No need to fill in text bubbles, post it on every shitty manga aggregate website for the whole world to forever pirate and steal. Text translations are the best thing that you could do for something like this. It would build a community and encourage people to support the serialization. Anyway... Are they releasing new updated volumes yet? I cant seem to find anything besides the old 6 volumes.
-
This looks like it could be the best VF-1 to date. It looks great and I am late to the party as usual. My wallet might take a bigger hit than most to get one of these.
-
I'm really not interested unless its a Hikaru VF-4. I would think that would sell extremely well and would be worth the effort to make it happen.

I cant believe how expensive those lego sets are. Seeing them made me think that it would be fun to build one. but I don't think I can justify that much money for one though. -
Same I also liked the review Jenius.

My 0A showed up this morning. It's really slick. However the right legs hip joint is really stiff and difficult to rotate. I'm scared...
-
DISASTER! Glad you were able to get it fixed. That hip joint scares me. Nice video. That ruler you busted out had me cracking up. I think I just tossed two of them recently that I had since I was in elementary school or something.

Those blue and white fins are really bugging me on the vf-0s
