Most likely answer is color matching. Yamato DYRL toys are gray while Arcadia are white. So, if you want the whole squad in the same color, Yamato is the way to go. The Arcadia toys otherwise are the same as the late Yamato toys, Arcadia didn't really make any improvements Yamato hadn't already made up until the latest Miria release.

Looking for decently priced 1/48 Super or Strike parts for VF-1S. Preferable that parts are complete and intact, but will accept broken or missing pieces.
Edit: also looking for 1/60 Super or Strike parts.
Edit: also looking for junker 1/48 VF-1 for spare parts or customs

This is an honest question. I'm new to the Macross-collecting world so I'm not being sarcastic.
Why would you want to trade an Arcadia for a Yamato? From what I've read, isn't the Arcadia the better version w/ improvements over the Yamato mold?

Smooth and positive transaction with ultraman zoffy. Bought two figures from him and items arrived as described and in the time promised. Thank you, sir!

Positive for @monishb. Sold me a figure at a great price -- very smooth transaction and great communication the entire way (even after delivery).

Thanks for confirming. Wasn't looking forward to hydrogen peroxide treatment in case it was due to yellowing.

Background: I'm new to Macross collecting, even though I've been a fan since I first discovered it on that "other" US show in the mid 80's. I loved Macross Plus but admit that Macross II wasn't up to par and Macross 7 made me lose interest in the franchise by the late 90's. I plan on going back and picking up where I left off w/ Macross Zero and onwards, but for now my main knowledge of the franchise remains at SDF and Macross Plus. My main knowledge of the figures are the 1/55 "chunky monkey". I'm aware of Yamato, Bandai, and Toynami figures in the early 2000's to present but didn't really pay much attention when they were released (due to lack of funds during this time). I've been doing my homework by reading up on the current figures and lines, and their origins.
My Question: I recently picked up a bunch of figures, mainly 1/60 Arcadia VF-1's. I read about the 1/48's and how impressive they were so I picked up a loose 1/48 VF-1S Roy. The first thing I noticed was the color of the figure. The Arcadia's are pure bright white in color but the 1/48 seems like a muted gray. The gray color is consistent throughout the figure so I don't think it's due to yellowing where there's inconsistent discoloration. I bought a 1/48 VF-1A this past weekend and its color matches the muted gray. Were the 1/48's originally this off-white color or have these figures' color been ravaged by the 15 years since their release?

Whoa that's quite a start you have going there! Great choices! Though I think you got the wrong scale Max to go with Miria.
LOL. I did realize that about Max, but I've never experienced a Bandai HMR before so wanted to get one to see what it was like. Plus, it was half the price of the Arcadia reissue 1/60.
But I think getting the 1/60 VF-1J Max and a 1/60 YF-21 will complete my immediate collection... for now.

Long time lurker, first time poster. Decided it was time to join you fine folks and jump into the world of Macross collecting. I've been wanting to jump in over the past decade but the Yamato prices were exorbitant to me. So I got into Masterpiece Transformers and third party figures. Fast-forward to present time and MP TF/3P figures are well into the $100+ per figure. Now all of a sudden Yamato/Arcadia figures don't seem so expensive anymore. Anyways, I'm no where near at the level that you guys are but these are the figures I've managed to pick up since X-mas. I don't expect to get every figure out there, but I want to at least get the key figures. Down another rabbit hole I go...

Looking for the unused sticker sheets for the 1/60 VF-1. Specifically need the ones that come w/ the Arcadia VF-1S Hikaru but any will do at this point. Need both sheets (one for valk, other for the strike parts). Willing to pay a fair price.No longer needed.
