    We'll see how the VF-19Advanced holds up over time. Literally. I've been reading posts about the Frontier DX-Chogokin valks getting/going loose and floppy after a couple of months or so. Not sure if any of the Arcadia valks have gotten loose, yet. Well, other than specifically due to the questionable ankle-joints.

    I have a differing opinion on that. Maybe it's simply that Arcadia's YF-19 was just way too unjustifiably expensive to procure that perhaps a number of people here went and settled for the Bandai VF-19Advanced just coz it's the only alternative that was significantly cheaper. Not quite sure if most people here would've still gotten the Bandai if it was more expensive than Arcadia's and/ Arcadia's was significantly cheaper than Bandai's. I'm still surprised at the current polling result that indicates more people think the uber-expensive ankle-issues-laden Arcadia is better overall than the Bandai. Bizarro! As for respect, most of us know Bandai can make good toys, eg. Soul of Chogokin robots, SHFiguarts, et al. However, most of us also know and just don't appreciate their various half-ass efforts for their Macross toys specifically. Even this VF-19Advanced had some of that usual shenanigan of half-assing it. Not to mention the preorder-circus that they usually employ with DX-Chogokins Frontier mechas and even their upcoming HM-R's...

    Yeah. The Arcadia YF-19 is just really way stupidly expensive. Which is par for the course since all of Arcadia's valks are way too stupidly expensive than it should be. I still cannot accept it as a YF-19 since to me it seems like it's just a recolored second-hand/leftover of the shelfwarming Yamato VF-19 mould that is from the fugly fatty/stumpy M7 TV-design instead of the properly sleek and fierce M+ OVA-design. Not much innovation (even ankle fixes) and stuff at all. Quite a lot of people here still somehow like it despite all the shortcomings of it. The VF-19Advanced looks a bit aesthetically nicer at first glance, but is obviously gappy in fighter-mode and has issues with the FP. It also seems unnecessarily bow-legged due to that weird thigh-rotation feature.

    Already got the original blu-ray. Even still have the dvd. Nothing on this upcoming anniversary set really appeals to me.

    Maybe you're misremembering/confusing Alto of Macross Frontier with Shin of Macross Zero. Shin's 0D valk was blue. Other than the UN Spacy kite, his 0A never had red accents. It actually has some "blue" accents in certain shots/angles. Even his original F14 was blue-ish. Only his helmet was reddish...

    Other than coloring, what is/are the difference(s) between the CF-171 and the Alto/New-Guy 171? Seems like they're all from the same complicated design, but the CF is the only one that explodes or something just by looking at it.

    Scalpers.

    I seem to read a bunch of tampo-angst against the Arcadia. Not quite sure why tampo is that important all of a sudden even at the exorbitant pricing of Arcadia. I was thinking the fatty legs and the dorky ankle-joint will take the most and loudest criticism on the YF-19. Nope. It's the lack of tampo on it. In contrast, a few owners don't even like the rather ridiculous over-tampo of the Bandai. oy vey...

    Thought you guys said this particular dx-chogokin valk is the loosest of the loose?
  13. treatment
    Didn't somebody asked/inundated Mr.K about the VF-0D "blue" and the Armored VF-1J "grey goggles" repeatedly before? Yeah. His answers were really very clear and definitive on both back then...
  14. treatment
    Not quite true. Bandai has the ongoing habit of limiting the quantity and availability of dx-chogokins. Especially during pre-order time. Also, not really sure where YF-19 is "relatively easy to get" outside of ebay and/or scalpers...
  15. treatment
    from vol-5 of the dvd. coz i got nothing better to do, either...
  16. treatment
    You know, for the ridiculous amount that Arcadia is scalping for the Zero line, they should've just applied weathered coloring on 'em in the first place..
  17. treatment
    Hmm. Neither one is better. Considering their respective issues and their respective exorbitant pricings, you should've retitled this thread as "Which is more tolerable/acceptable overall", instead...
