I get a very Avatar: The Last Airbender vibe from how the characters look.

Chris

Thats because its the same team and animation company

Any information on pre-order availability?

Been out of the loop for a few months but a quick glance around forums and there is no news of Arcadia M&M yet?

yaya finally got 2 for the jacked up price...

FFS have I missed it already?!!?

wow, thats nice!

12" Wild Tiger leading the boys

Mine is somewhere between Osaka and Sydney haha

I've had a 0S since '06 and its only been out of the box a couple of times - only transformed once and wasn't really impressed. As others have said its a bit of a floppy mess - even in Fighter mode the chest droops slightly :-\ It is a beautiful bird that deserves a revision (and reactive armor!), its just a shame the OVA was so awful

Do pre-orders count? Because the deposit I had to pay for this thing has already cost me a lot:

I preordered one also - no idea where im going to put it yet

Also ordered this little kitty

Pretty girl!

Finally!

hmm my NY order is 'preparing'...

FML... 1st transformation of my 171EX and the top of the small wing pin snaps off. wtf Bandai

VF-1J
YF-19

YF-29

Thanks for checking Reivaj, that's really too bad. The 29 had grown on me from a design standpoint (although I hate the Fast Packs) and it's disappointing that there isn't a stronger representation in toy form.

If you're referring to tightening screws at or around the shoulders and hips they don't stay tight. Even in static poses unfortunately the joints loosen over time.

-b.

The best 'repair' seems to be disassembling the joint and coating the ball joint with nail polish. My 25F has a floppy left leg straight out of the box

Payed for mine, my first Bandai Frontier valk, I'm pretty much buying it for the "scalping potential", really hope this thing is worth the 180+ pricetag and they fixed those wonky flaws from the previews YF-29's.

My Focker YF-29 just arrived and I believe its an improvement over the Alto version - which I don't own yet and am still debating whether or not to pick it up. Given Bandai's history I expect even further improvements will be made to the Isamu version.

LOL People still have CRT monitor?

Check newtype78's pic

My second ever Yamato Valk purchase and my first Yamato VF-1.

My cannon fodder squadron is slowly but surely growing!

Next upgrade - LCD monitor!

So this is my first ever Macross purchase and I know I'm way late to the party but OMG this toy is incredible!

This right here is a bit of awesome

LA customs is the problem, I have had this happen to me once and it really sucked. Others on here had a problem with LA customs too.

Got to make sure you arent importing a box full of terrorism

I wasn't going to post any pics in protest of the lack-of.

But someone has to at least try!

It's definitely white..

But, I do love the box art on the side. Line the team up and you

Have a rainbow in the dark effect, minimalist.

I can dig it...

I have to say, this Arcadia 1S is/was tighter then my Yammy 2.2 VF1S, and 2.1 VF1S.

Which both were new. This is tight, but the leg detachment to the shoulders isn't scary tight now.

It's way nicer carefree transformation then the previous offerings I have held in my hand.

I'm glad I PO'd the Hikky now!

Great pics - he looks excellent! Glad to finally see something positive in this thread

After getting three packages today, and still having to pick something up from UPS tomorrow I think it might be time for a spending intervention;

Apologies to those that are offended by cell phone pics.

-b.

Nice!

oh god this thread...

Well my 27 arrived and I find it to be an excellent display piece but damn did I feel like throwing it against the wall during transformation. Thank the gods for anymoons videos on youtube! One of the hip joints is super stiff so I couldnt get that hip bar to connect into the small grey slots without clicking the left leg Gerwalk joint forward and popping off the thigh armors - so frustrating

Still no sign of the S rerelease...possibly keeping it quiet until next year to maintain momentum for the yf-30 and anything inbetween...perhaps the rvf-171?

Still no official shots of the YF-30 yet are there, the only stuff ive seen is the announcement CG and trade show photos.

oooo RVF-171 - didnt think the previous two sold well enough to warrant continuation of that model - especially given the very poor quality of some parts.
