That jacket is what we used to refer to in the military as a "BCG" Birth Control Jacket.  Meaning that there is no way you will EVER kiss a girl while wearing it.  That said, it's on par price wise with some of the Gundam clothing they have at the Gundam Base in Tokyo.  $300 plus for a red flight jacket with  a Zeon patch on it etc.

If you'll be in or near Washington DC, August 10-12. 

Kawamori-san has just been announced as a guest at Otakon 2018

Thanks!  Anything else I should check out while I'm there?

As the title says, I'll be heading to Japan in March for about 9 days and while I'll be busy for most of that time, I plan to use any free time I have to check out the sights.  I'll be in Tokyo and want to know what Macross stuff there is to see.

I already plan to check out the Odaiba Gundam, the Ghibli Museum, and hopefully Tokyo Disneyland.

Are there any Macross displays or museums still running?

Suggestions are welcome.

god, those panel lines... anyway to get rid of them? :/ 

Might help them sell better. 

If not then bring the price down, chances are no one is going to pay that much for a used, tampered product.

If you don't like the item or the price. Don't buy it.  In any case, keep your negative comments to yourself.

Nice!  Are these screen printed?

I hope this actually becomes a thing.  As soon as it's up for preorder, I'm grabbing one.

I like the design, in a lot of ways it looks like a more organic evolution of the VF1 than any of the designs that came after SDFM. The toy just looks......cheap. And it's not cheap....but it looks......cheap.

Holy crap. If I only had the time....the patience....the skill....

Does that include the Valks and Destroids as well?

Got mine today. Really like it, lots of intricate detail, like the moving rudders. Very complicated. I can say with 100% certainty that I will NEVER transform this wee beastie.

The Arcadia version is definitely more anime chunky!

My thoughts exactly. The Arcadia looks spot-on to the anime chunky battroid lineart. The Bandai looks more streamlined overall. I'm happy with it. I see the VF-19 Advance as the culmination of the YF-19 and Isamu's character. He's totally the type of guy to get sick of the military BS and go mercenary....and that's what he did apparently.

Looks badass. Can't wait to get mine!

It's funny, but something about the Bandai DX stance reminds me of the original Yamato 1/72.

Actually looks like the Bandai is a bit bigger than the Arcadia. The head on the Bandai comes up level to the top of the shoulder on the Yamato. Could be a perspective thing.

I got the following notice from YesAsia this morning.

Due to a change in the manufacturer's production schedule, the expected ship out date of item Macross Frontier Movie Sayonara no Tsubasa: DX Chogokin VF-19 ADVANCE from your order has been extended to June 15, 2015.

Knew that already, but nice to see they're tracking on it.

Can't wait to get this sucker in hand!

Bump

Like the title says, I have an Arcadia VF-0D up for sale

Removed from box, transformed ONCE to GERWALK, where it has stayed. Still in brand new condition, no mods have been made etc. Box and all accessories is included.

I'm also throwing in a set of 1/48 UUM-7 and AMM-1 missiles since they fit on the VF-0D hardpoints and look good

Asking $300.00 shipped (Continental US)

PM if interested.

Pics:

I suppose I meant the lightbulbs and not the lamp. But that pic right there is very aqua, quite a bit closer to the anime.

Oh, just 60 watt jobbies. I'm no photographer by any stretch. That was a 5 second shot with my iPhone.

What kind of light do you have that thing under? That really looks a lot closer to the show there...

Some $25.00 Target special that I stole from my kid. One of those deals with 5 little flexible arms. Only two bulbs on.
