It looks very good painted.  I wish it was a mass produced figure.

I think this is the best Mirya figure ever made, I wish there was a company interested in manufacturing of classic Macross characters, the way CM'S Corp. made its Macross/Mospeada Gashapon line, they would look great on the shelf next to any valkyrie collection.. Is there a way Bandai could make it happen? Maybe?

I think I Could pick  the blue 202 option for my Original HM Max however it is from the very first HM releases (those with the non-removable nosecone) so, I want to know if it would be compatible and also I noticed from the FEXTHOBBY page product photos, a booster is missing for the 202 armor....Will they only include what you see on those pics?

Can somebody here advise on my inquiries ?..Thanks in advance guys..

The 1D is the only two-pilot Valkyrie in SDF Macross. Given that BANDAI have started releasing the other two-pilot Valks, I would say it shouldn't be too far away. Or you could buy the Super Ostrich and the VF-1D Virgin Road to get a 1D.

OK thanks for reply...I mean if both VT-1 and  VF-1D have a very similar orange scheme maybe Bandai may think it wouldn't be profitable enough to justify  the VF-1D  releasing even though in my opinion it  is more iconic specially for the western audiences... Just to remember that scene with Hikaru and Minmai in the cockpit... 

Now with the upcoming release on VT-1 Valk in orange scheme  Could you guys tell what´s the chance for the VF-1D to be released?..

Taking in account VF-1D is my personal holy grail and my budget is limited for only one valk in orange scheme, Would you recommend to go for the VT-1 or to wait for the VF-1D to be released some day?  ...Would you say VF-1D will be realeased for sure eventually???

Thanks in advance for advice...

Hello Guys:

I wish to purchase a nice detailed JDM drift or street racer car (radio Control) in 1:16 scale however, I have been researching for a while but with no good results. It has to be well detailed because I want it mostly for display not for racing.

I know there are a lot of members in this forum who really know about all kind of online retailers that´s why , I want to request your good advise. 

Images of Examples of  the product I am looking for are attached.

My apologies if this is not the right thread  for my request... Thanks in advance..

Looks like a Max Steel play set.. Maybe Mattel should get Robotech license for a cheaper and easier way for all of us.

I wish Bandai tamashii made some SDFM figures, I guess it is not difficult for them considering they are producing Delta figures like fresh bread..so, Why not?

Sexy Grandma deserves a Bandai figuart release!!

Why Don`t they release a sexy resembling figure of Miria Farina Jenius, Can somebody tell why???

Would you guys disagree with any toynami valk?

I see Toynami loves to invent tuning valks I think they should go with those shown on battlecry videogame, any Jack Archer or Izzy custom valk would be interesting instead of the canon ones which are being produced by Bandai in a far superior fashion.

I think it's a passion of his in real life. If I'm not mistaken, he is a huge Idol group supporter,especially of AKb48 what with his focus on the anime series AKB0048. [/quote

OH Really? I see, Maybe Japanese old men differ from us the ones from the rest of the World. I wonder if these japanese design geniouses are also you know, anti criticism people you know the way depicted by Tak Mashido in the real steel robots Movie.

Trend to be KAWAII is killing not only Macross but also the whole anime. I consider MW as a democratic forum so please avoid replying: «you better go and rewatch Robotech» in an intolerant fashion. I am just seeking the reason Kawamori decided to gradually change Valkyries for Walkuries..Thank you.

It is nice indeed..Prediction: Everyone here is going to fall unless Bandai brings something to compete however it is unlikely.

You'll always have Robotech.

I wish I had a real Macross sequel, instead of a Sakura Card Captors one...thats all.

Well...My heart is in pieces..I think upcoming Macross realeases won`t be for me anymore. I am just keeping my original SDFM memories for the moving on, maybe as some guys here have said, we don`t belong today`s anime target...I guess I will find shelter in the upcoming Star Wars Movies, they will ease my dissapointment...

And what about some character SDFM figures?...Well if they are releasing a Breetai, they could also grant a Milia, Roy, Misa, Hikky...at least some gachapons We all here need them, Don`t we?

So, What is the probability Arcadia offers a "Democratic" price for any Valkyrie reissue? I mean at least an equivalent price from the days when Yamato had its boom in market ..I wish they could grant a right price for the eventual VF-1D,reissue (my holy grail).....Developing countries fans also want to enjoy these masterpieces....What do you guys think? Any chance?

That's awesome Yeti ... solves the forward swept wing debate for me at least.

As for the symbol, I did a google image search and the closest thing was the hood symbol for a Nissian Silvia

I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but I *really* hope this doesn't mean the theory it's about racing is correct.

I just want a big intergalactic war, is that too much to ask?

Oh come on !!, Let`s give a chance to a racing plot....Possibilities would be plenty,,,Custom Valkyries, Adrenaline, Sexy babes and most of all some fresh air to the franchise,..By the way ..I guess Macross just got another wealthy sponsor...

No military markings and a Racing custom Blue Valk...To get ready for adrenaline..You better wear your seat belt!!

OHH Come on Mr.K !!! Let`s be honest:

Arcadia Valkyries are so expensive because YOU want to take advantage of nerdish fandom´s hype, love and passion for Macross....That`s all

The aswer for this thread question is quite easy: If Arcadia really wants to sell quickly and cause a real pre-order madness, they only have to reissue the VF-1D Hikaru & Minmay. it is guaranteed... That´s it.

There's a BIG chance it will, rasky. Look for example the Hikaru figure. I want to buy it last year, and surprisingly, the price on the figure is around $120+. And to think that it has a production run of 3000. But look on their online store now, and they selling it for $44.99-49.99. And good time to get it, which I just did 3 weeks ago. I mean, it's like how many people really bought from the initial 3000pcs since the figure came out?

Is it secure to buy from Robotech Store? I see they don't have paypal option, Since they only accept credit cards Could you advise if it would be risky to purchase there from out of the U:S.?

Thanks pal...

Well I guess If these ones do it fine, They will release Mospeada figures as well...But only after Bandai announces its releasing version, the way they did with the Hi Metal Line...

Well....I don`t know..that new head mismatches my childhood memories...Anyway... I hope Milia shows up soon so I may complete my squadron..
