My personal thoughts on this is "No!" The reason being is that I rather Kawamori create a sequel because he felt inspired to do so rather than pressured to. I'd rather wait for something good than have something mediocre now.

Part of me wants Arcadia to produce a 1:3000 scale Flash Back Megaroad 01. But I'm not sure if I would buy it as it would be around 24 inches long and would probably be way more than I would want to pay.

The Venn diagram of my life would show that the domain of my math and computer science prowess does not intersect with the domain for common sense.
As shown in the diagram above, most of my finances is allocated to my Macross toy addiction, with little of my finances dictated by common sense. And since I am still a student, my major does not contribute much to my finances.
I'm starting to wonder how you are going to safely move you collection after you graduate and land a job. More so if that job is nowhere near your current location.

I was considering buying one of these, but the PF VE-1 release scratched that itch for me. Unless this gets really close to 10,000 yen, I may consider this again.

Everything gets transformed at least once when I receive it to make sure everything seated properly to avoid unnecessary stress on any part. Following that, it depends on what I have out at the time. My HMR cubical toy gets transformed about once a week.

As UV LEDs are available in different wavelengths. Is there a specific safer wavelength or is the entire UV spectrum bad?

The clear stands were supposed to be reissued and available for 500 yen not too long ago. I could never find any online vendors selling it.

We to the Akiba Showroom today. Nothing new displayed for Macross stuff. The only thing there is the 1/48 VF-1J.

My prediction:
1S Roy, no missiles
A few months later TWE Super Packs
I’m interested to see how they tuck the 1S head under the body for a super flushed look like the 1J.
Just throwing this out there as nothing new has been announced and we can all speculate to our hearts content! I doubt that this is going to happen but...
VF-1J TV Hikaru
VF-1S DYRL Hikaru
VF-1A brownie
Followed by nothing! Just like what they did with the High Complete Model.
But I seriously doubt it.

I've always thought that the "Orguss" VF-1 should be a GBP style armor for a brownie VF-1A. I think it should largely work.
-
It would probably take at least that long to see all the durability issues with the Bandai 1/48. I fear VF-0 pricing though. A lot of members have posted their wish lists of what features/gimmicks they would like to see in a Arcadia V3 VF-1 in various posts over the years. Honestly, like others, I can do without the air brake, wing flaps and waist swivel.

Best
1. Bandai HCM VF-1J. I've had it since 1985! My favorite toy from my younger days.
2. Bandai Hi-Metal R Monster. Because it's just AWESOME!
3. Arcadia VF-1S Hikaru. They're just the right size and feel great in my hands.
Worst
1. Takatoku Henkei VF-1A. Quite possibly my 1st Valkyrie. I played with it until it broke! My god the thing was cheap and it looked horrible!
2. Bandai Hi-Metal R VF-1A Hikaru. Because I got Bandai'd on the leg armor. The QC was horrible on my 1st copy. I'm still looking for someone who has 2 rights to trade with. One of the feet will not rock back for Gerwalk mode. It can swing forward, but not back. It feels like it will snap off if I try to hard to rock it back. The cover plate between the tail fins came installed at an angle. It is not flush with the rest of the backpack. It is either glued in or jammed in tight. I cannot remove it to reinstall it correctly. I was very fortunate that CDJapan sent me a replacement at no additional cost.
My original copy is now my cubicle toy at work.
3. Bandai Hi-Metal R Regult. Mine came with a droopy leg. It stands fine and I can pose it, but if I pick it up, one of the legs droops down.

Getting a KO for parts isn't an inexpensive option either. I don't know if you will be able to find a parts Valkyrie on eBay either.

You shouldn't feel bad about breaking a commitment to Jeff Bezos.
But I wouldn't get half of his assets either.

I'd feel bad, like I'm breaking a commitment.
-
I may end up regretting this, but I'm going to wait a day or so and see if the other vendors post this. I want one, but I don't want to commit right away.
-
Based on Tekering"s chart that would be about half the height of a HMR VF-1. Imagine making a transformation guide for that one!

Similar to how paint on new cars vs old cars is much more resistant to being outside.
Isn't the trend to make plastics degrade and breakdown faster?

That's not so bad. I spent:
$938.33 for round trip tickets
$390.86 for 7 nights in a Hotel in Tokyo
$518.70 for 7 nights in Kyoto
and 12000 yen at the Mandarake Complex for:
That's like $1950.00 for a 1/55 Brownie! Not to mention the other $1000.00 I spent on food and gifts.
