.. i'd just talk with some guys who got their Revival ver., and some said that the Renewal ver., has (still) better assembly (for each) parts and better mold (?!?). As they didn't say in details, i thought (maybe) Bandai uses the same (more than a decade old mold of Renewal ver.) and therefore the Revival ver., feels like "deteriorated" in some parts?!? ..please shre with us any inputs / the comparison if any of you got both of them.. 🙏🏼

.. currently i'm following SDF (one eps., each night) and as i've been delved into it, this curioisity emerged; what Harmony Gold gonna do from here (as the IP dispute is (totally) resolved).. are they gonna "adopt" the rest of Macross series from SDF onward; making tremendous changes within each series? (character names, mechanical names, etc.) And are they gonna mix each series with another (totally) different IP to fit into particular target audiences too? (Let's say, maybe, mixing Macross Plus with Evangelion or this or that, and thus change the entire IP main line),.. .. the way i see, Harmony Gold did to is so pretty screwed up, unfixable, and it's very understandable if some (if not many) fans were getting so annoyed with.. it's as if they adopted Spider-Man and changed (almost the entire character names) and mix the IP with, let's say, Pacific Rim or .. 😂 for whatever reasons.. Honestly, i was born in the early 90's, and my very first is ZERO, for many, it's not even among the best, but however, it is part of my growing up and left me with permanent impressions that would last my lifetime. And yeah, will be felt pretty screw up if Harmony Gold adopt it into Robotech Zero, making many changes, and (especially if) mix it with another totally different IP.. i know that for many, "Robotech" is also part of their growing up, well ok, .. but i personally felt like with "Robotech" they disrespected / dishonored the SDF IP creators, fairly speaking.. No offense to anyone here,..

.. i think it will just be the same with the 2018 Full Set Pack ver., Bandai just "Revive" it so fans who missed before can get it with normal prices, because DX YF-19 these days are ridiculously overprice.. i personally feel like between Arcadia and Bandai they had "an under the table agreement" not to cross some particular/specific characteristics when they produce the same fighter jet..

As long as you keep them MISB; really never been openend and moreover never took it out of box; never been displayed (even just for considered short period of time), we can hold the value high.. indeed, Macross IP is not as famous as Gundam or Transformers, but in case or rarity (and "vintageness"), i think it holds it more than both of them.. last time i checked on eBay, some collectors sold their's relatively pretty high (above $.300, some even above $.400) but all of sold items are really MISB..

Can we use Acrylic Sprays (Varnish) to prevent white ( - painted) toys from getting aged (yellowed)? And if yes, will it stick to any glossy paints (of particularly on DX Superalloy products)?

that "revival ver." would exactly be the same with "the renewal ver.", only the finishing paint (matte instead of glossy).. i think the glossy ver. is more durable (and dirt resistant) than the matte ver. But it is indeed a gold opportunity (for those MFrontier fans) to get the VF-25G at way more reasonable price,..

The entire Macross Zero series by Arcadia.. they are the best memorabilia toys ever!

rivalry and (also) duel.. yeah, Isamu v Guld is epic,.. 🙏🏼👍🏼

Which one is the best duel in all of Macross Universe?

Thnk you for all your opinions, guys.. rlly apprciate thm 🙏🏼

.. yeah, found that DX has noticeable gap between both legs and shield on its fighter mode. But on its battroid mode, it smoother and every part seems fit more nicely than.. Both have their own pros and cons, and i really want to own both of them, but DX is very overkilling these days even for pre-owned ones.. just more talking, i think the best of Arcadia is their Macross Zero renditions..

Thnk u fr ur opinions, guys.. so appreciate thm.. i'd read and wtchd the review about DX YF-19 frm Anymoon and also wtchd some rviews about Arcdia YF-19, and personally feel like the DX YF-19 is based more into engineering - focus made; how a sleeky petite and precisely gapless mechanical figure could smoothly transform into 3 different modes?!? And i think to achieve those, they sacrificed the aesthetic appearances (the resembling of anime line arts accuracy), or maybe Bandai wanted to seperate from the Arcadia's and therefore they made their "own version" of YF-19!?.. Mechanically, it is indeed an excellent made yet feels quiet delicate (and therefore need more extra care to transform it, as there are quiet more gapless parts in-between go through sliding mechanism, even gapless than my Rubik's cube!) than Arcadia's .. Arcadia is truer to the Anime line arts arts and looks more robust, quiet easier to handle and most importantly, it is cheaper!!! =D m goin' to frequently change into 3 different modes to put it on display, so Arcadia is the best for me, it's more anime acurate yet somehow less risky and more affordable .. and consider to own the other one later..

Hi, guys.. I decided to buy my first Valkyrie, and it would be YF-19 .. i found some of them from somw different companies, but i'd fallen to only two; between Arcadia or DX Chogokin .. which one should go? Aesthetic appearances and mechanical gimmicks are first two my priorities.. Please, share with your experiences and thoughts.. Thanks and much appreciation.. 🙏🏼

.. after thorough checked, VF-25S/F Armored Messiah and that VF-31S Armored Siegfries are very very tempted for me, especially when some scenes from Macross Frontier still fresh on my mind.. 😂😭😅 .. but no, had to be restrained 'cause too late for me .. and yeah, i would definitely wait for the next and hanging on luck to put me on a very fortunate moment to .. 🙏🏼

.. oh so my gosh.. almost all DX VF-31S are priced above $.400,- and even the pre owned ones are still above $.250,- 😂😅😭
