  1. Arcadia's promo-pics sometimes are, shall we say, rather inaccurate sometimes (cue early VF-0D non-PF pics) ....
  2. Well, not saying this Hikaru-4A will, but one can always hope since the Arcadia VF-4G did go down to around 17k-yen at hlj back in the day... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/43044-160-perfect-transform-vf-4g-lightning-reissue/?do=findComment&comment=1283537
  3. The Aviation Fighters and the stand are in 1/144 scale. May work with Tomytecs, but may not with HMRs since the HMRs are 1/100ish (1/90ish, per Jenius iirc). Then again, a 1/100 HMR VF-1 maybe the same size as a regular 1/144 F-14. Don't know for sure since I don't have any 1/144 aircraft...
  4. update: hs == 28,310y (Shipping unknown) Still not listed on CDJ as of this posting. No, i'm deliberately not listing n-y. Not posting any links on any, either. Let the scalpers figure 'em out if they're interested.
  5. Heh! We may jest about it, but it really ain't the reason why Yamato-Toys went under. Pure conjecture, but I believe their VF-1 volume-profits model was actually their only successful venture and the only one that had kept them afloat amongst their various non-profitting lines...
  6. The PF looks nice. However, meh. It should've been standard and not be an additional 5500y webshop/japanese-only exclusive. Arcadia opting for exclusives-profits instead of volume-profits is always a rather bizarre business-decision to me with their already pricey toys. Oh, well.
  7. The Arcadia VF-4G was at 29,700y msrp: http://arcadia.ac/products/detail.php?product_id=228 Thanks! Wasn't posted when I checked earlier. As usual, Ami's always adding the Tokyo-Tax with their 31,100y pricing for us importers.
  8. so, to recap so far for the non-PF version: hlj is at 29,800y (which is msrp, i think) (shipping unknown) ae is at 28,310y (shipping unknown) amj is at 28,343y (as of this posting) (shipping is dhl 3211y placeholder (usually 1600y) ) ami == ? 31,100y (shipping unknown) hs == ? cdj == ?
  9. errr, it's still available. you might want to clear your browser-cache or something.
  10. Yup! Easiest customization ever!
  11. It is pricey, unfortunately. However, the current listing on amjp is still msrp. Hopefully Amazon-jp will apply their usual discounts soon. That said with this non-PF msrp, I reckon Arcadia will be pricing their inevitable PF-version around the 12k-yen more and possibly even above.
  12. Nice pics. You might have missed it, but I posted my black-heatshield Hikaru-1S back on June-14 both here and in the scale-thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/45206-bandai-dx-chogokin-148-vf-1/?do=findComment&comment=1528549 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/35121-148fps-160fps-172-12k-13k1100-and-now-1144/?do=findComment&comment=1528550
  13. Flashback 2012 VF-4A at amjp: https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B08DS56FMS/ looks like the non-PF version. ineligible to cancel after 8/23 jp-time. arcadia's competing with the DX-SOC Voltes V release, oh boy...
  14. Perhaps just plain Bandai arrogance and possibly plain disdain for non-battroid modes , then.
  15. It may be that Yamato-Toys/Arcadia holds the patent(s) on the designs and mechanisms/methods. Bandai does not want to pay for 'em and just decide to simply Bandai'd themselves and us...
  16. so any Japan Post updates regarding EMS-to-US, yet?
  17. Yeah. Iirc, the original MZ-23 OVA was really the first anime that started the distinction between OVA and regular TV series among anime in terms of content...
  18. of 2024...
  19. Blue text means jack crap here. Different forum, different traditions.
  20. They'll call it DX-R, with the innovation/fixes being just white landing gears and a 15k-yen bump on the msrp...
  21. You never know. Kevin and the other former vendors might just encourage them to restart their old Valk distro-business given the various shenanigans that N-Y, NinNin, or whoever has been griefing everybody else here about the 1/48 DX and parts...
  22. Better discussion points than N-Y in this thread...
  23. ever tried this on your Yammie-SV51?
