Valkyrie addict

Maybe their SDFM Macross licence renewal becomes active in January.

I hope the box art is as good as that promo image in the background.

Edit: Arcadia has been good about adding sweet extras. For this set, an interchangeable 1J head (white goggles and grey goggles), would be perfect IMO.

Great idea, that would be nice.

The grey goggle is an animation error, the 1J is consistently showed with a white goggle all trough the series, even on the show opening sequence. The color artist for that episode probably though it matched better with the armor, one could even go as far and say it could have been an armor addon for the visor but after Hikaru ditches the armor and goes into the Zentradi scout ship the goggle is still grey on close ups.

Animation error. I prefer grey goggle over the white one.

I hope this seller was from T-REX and not a scalper, seems unfair that just a day after WF some scalper is getting 6 times of what it's worth.

Sexy! I'm in

Wait, the stand can rotate!!?haha, just realized that now

Good move Arcadia, I could use some stands, as long as they're priced right, like 20-30 bucks.

about time!!

You can never have enough GBP-1S's !

hehehehe!

I would love this for my YF-19's, but I am no way upset or worried I can't get this.

Would probably scratch the paint more.

Good purchase! congratz!

Supply and demand. Not enough supply, too much demand now since everyone bought them when Yamato went bust.

Similar reason the 1/100 Bandai Hi metal line died. Not enough demand, oversaturation by Yammie.

hehehe, the resin prototype is probable the one with the test paint. VF-1 landing gears are diecast only.

If I'm seeing correctly that pictures shows quite a few good things acknowledging the old VF-0 problems.

- The shoulder hinge is THICK, not like the VF-1

- Shoulder appears to have two articulations points, to rotate up and down and to rotate laterally, the old VF-0 had just a ball joint.

- Brass to prevent exploding cheap plastic arm

- Double jointed elbow like the VF-1

- I think the gray piece is a sliding mechanism for the arm to slide in and out the forearm for a more compact fighter mode.

And yes, that chest hole is dying for options parts! C'mon Arcadia!!

Lovely!

Wait, how much several members here have it and it has all been hush hush, why no share the awesomeness.

Bright white.

I have the heavy suspicious that there might be v3 VF-1 in the coming years.

WOW!

VF-1S Hikaru with strike packs.

And I'll take Misa with me and her Megaroad-1 filled with VF-4's

Good luck! be safe everyone and your toys!

If they don't add an Edgar figure with a leg cast I won't buy

hehe, I know.

Awesome collections and display pics guys!

Nice pics!

why no panel line on the YF-19?

So any word on the release date for the fold booster?

umm... probably when Arcadia stops releasing watermelons, orange moldy nachos and gold plated stuff nobody want.

After cancelling my second preorder Arcadia YF-19 because I needed fund with my new car purchase I said the 19 was my last purchase, the sole 19 I had got lost in transit.

Somehow I ended up with this. I swear this is my last big haul for the year.

I really have to stop now. Looking to buy a house, why is real state so damn expensive now!?

I got two 19's from Mandarake, and the 3rd one is the one that got lost, it went all the way to several places in South America and back but luckily it came back.

DX Mazinger I got from Yahoo Japan.

AHAHAHA!!

Where's my Arcadia M&M reissue?

22,000 Yen is a guestimate being said considering that's the usual going pricing for rare resin kits sold in WF.

Given the size of the boosters, if you shapeway it, it wouldn't be so cheap either.

I don't think so, the previews one appeared to be a non tranformable gray resin prototype.

MrK posted several pics of parts from what appear him assembling it. This prototype is probably transformable.
