troyness Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Got it today. Sorry about the crappy pix as I used my Chinese tablet. I resized all the pix. The flap has returned... Nice Ultimate Warrior color scheme. I tried taking a picture of the pilot but the tablet is unable to focus very well. The clear stand is included as promised. The side and neck covers are very dark, probably to match its priest collar.Hey Bub..no chair lift with the option parts? A view from under... Very nice... Get yours now and support Arcadia! I got it for USD150 (Converted to USD). Sorry messed up the quote with my ipad!!! My questions was..no chair lift with the option parts?

Froy Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Why is the "30 Anniversary" text in spanish? Actually that's italian (according to Google translate) For spanish you only write one N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 That's italian, I think it has something to do with the waterslide decals manufacturer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loop Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I hate to say it..... But am I the only one not blown away by the box art? Not sure, but it looks a hell of a lot better than the standard Yamato fare. They were notorious for using bad art with the 90's style fonts and font effects and maybe some simple grid patterns.

Gakken85 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 It's not the most impressive box, but it's a huge step forward and brings the boxes into the modern age haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why, I don't think this particular valk scheme is nice, must be because it's something different and new but I'm really anxious to get mine.

Bub Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Thanks Bub! All the option parts are there, nice one Arcadia!! That's right all option parts plus the "clear stand". Why is the "30 Anniversary" text in spanish? I don't know. The seller said it was wrong spelling, but I told him that it is in Spanish. Actually that's italian (according to Google translate) For spanish you only write one N. So it was Italian then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I don't think it's a misspelling, it's present also in the 1/72 Hasegawa version, perhaps Tenjin added it that way so they had to keep it as part of the art? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie addict Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Box dimensions almost identical, slightly heavier and wider (probably by the sleeve) according to HLJ VF-1S Hikaru w/option parts 32.6 x 28.2 x 10.6 cm / 860g http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00233/Sci VF-1J 30th 32.6 x 28.3 x 10.8 cm / 1050g http://www.hlj.com/product/ACA82001/Sci Edited September 2, 2013 by Valkyrie addict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't notice box dimensions ate available. I'm relieved to hear that box size hasn't increased. Storage space is always a headache and a huge limiting factor.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) since mine just came in the mail. thought i show you the size of the stand and option parts in relation to the box Standard depth tray this is where the stand is located when you pull out the plastic tray close up of stand and option parts sideshot to get a glimpse of the depth of the stand in relation to the plastic tray and box Tenjin box side by side comparison with 1/60 yamato box (non bundled) In the last picture tenjin box looks smaller but it is not, it's just my couch angled the box a bit. They are identical in size. Edited September 4, 2013 by davidwhangchoi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullmilitia Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I would be in financial trouble if all future Arcadia boxes came looking like that. It matches the Bandai renewal boxes on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
