So what happened to Yamato and is Arcadia now making the Yamato Valks?

[wmkjr]

Just got into the collecting thing since August. From what I read around here is Yamato shut down and Arcadiatook over and has some of the mold designs from the different series. They also created a new 1/60 YF-19 to go on sale in April. They are releasing a 1/60 VF-1S Hikaru and Roy DYRL versions that include a display stand and have a 1/60 30th anniversary VF-1J on sale. Bandai has a 1/60 line for Macross Frontier.

Yamato is not the same Yamato as it once was.

Team split off from Yamato and started Arcadia.

MrK is with Arcadia, Arcadia acquired several molds from Yamato

Including the VF-1 and SDF-1.

The future is still questionable, but brighter.

All new Valks come with boobs.

I thought the 1/60 YF-19 V2 was the last VF that was in the pipeline from Yamato before they went bust......still waiting for a completely new Arcadia-designed VF.....

I have been out for awhile to catching up on my other hobbies!

Valk!!! Good to see some of the OG MW'ers back on the board. I haven't been on since close to 2008 but it's awesome to be back and to see all the new valks to collect!

I don't think they got around to even making the CAD for it, pretty sure the YF-19 V2 is all Arcadia.

As I understand it, the YF-19 project is a Yamato project but Yamato had commissioned a third party to do the work, the third party completed the work and I think they even delivered it to Yamato. The plans were then sold to Arcadia. Arcadia then put the project on hold while they acquired the Macross Plus license. After securing the license they purchased molds and moved forward.
