jvmacross Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Takani's illustrations are what drew me into Macross....they are amazing to this day.... I also really like Suzuki's take on the TV SDF-1..... Oh...and here is the other Takani SDF-1 TV in cruiser...... We reeeeaaallllly need an updated 1/3000 TV SDF-1........we need to start a petition to either Arcadia or Bandai.....or both! Edited April 21, 2020 by jvmacross
treatment Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Since MH did a SDF1-TV recently in their Cosmo Fleet line, maybe they have exclusive license to do a 1/3k instead of Bandai or Arcadia?

I don't mind a blow up version of Megahouse TV SDF-1. Even if it's a parts-former one. They are not a subsidiary of Bandai? Yes, they are.
treatment Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) They are not a subsidiary of Bandai? Don't have their Orguss toy to compare to a SOC or a DX Chogokin, so not sure if their toys have the same quality as regular Bandai or regular Arcadia. Their Plamax/MaxFactory model-kits are like HG-level Bandai, tho, assuming Max Factory and Megahouse are the same entities. Edited October 17, 2016 by treatment

Their plamax model-kits are like HG-level Bandai, tho. Well, if I were a betting man (which I'm not)....I would be all in on a Bandai Soul of Popynica 1/3000 (or 1/1800) TV SDF-1....with all the bells and whistles.....quite frankly, Yamato's DYRL SDF-1 was meh in terms of said bells and whistles......and I have lost faith in Arcadia.....so hoping they step aside when it comes to a DX-type TV SDF-1 at this point....
treatment Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 It's been a wonder why Bandai hasn't done any SDF-1 (DYRL or TV) in their SOC line of ships. They'd already released a Yamato, a Yamato-2199, the Andromeda and the Arcadia, but still no SDF-1 SOC. Could be BW asking too much license-fees for it? Only Yamato was able to release a 1/3k SDF-1 toy since Takatoku, albeit the DYRL version.

Sandman Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 What does Arcadia have plans to release other than the reactive armour? Any reissues? Yeah other day I saw a Facebook ad for HLJ stating there was going to be a Yf-19 restock in April for 28000 yen. Didn't think much of it until later. I tried to find the ad again but couldn't. I checked HLJ and they still have 19 in stock for 29500 yen. I'm guessing that was an old ad still in circulation from the restock earlier this year.

Can you share how you were able to tell thar HLJ had 19 remaining stock? I didn't see any indicator on their site.
F360 Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Can you share how you were able to tell thar HLJ had 19 remaining stock? I didn't see any indicator on their site. He's talking about YF-19 still in stock , not 19 pieces remaining
MAC-X Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 He's talking about YF-19 still in stock , not 19 pieces remaining Lol I misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying
HardlyNever Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Does anyone know what this is? http://arcadia.ac/products/detail.php?product_id=173 I mean, it's obviously a DYRL sdf-1. It looks really small (105mm?). I didn't see any announcement about it, though. It says limited release, so I doubt you can get one easily, but I don't think this was posted on the arcadia website after the release date? I haven't seen it on any of the major import websites, either. This flew under the radar, at least for me. Maybe I missed the announcement somewhere else on here.

arbit Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Bodozul (???) and Meltandi re-issues up for pre-order from Arcadia web shop. You will need a proxy service to order. http://arcadia.ac/
Bub Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 ... So when is Arcadia going to release the VF-1S Hikaru Strike?

Jeremy007 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) From arcadia's twitter: Info coming next week. Edited January 13, 2017 by Jeremy007
abbadon Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Here you go... Arcadia to release VF-1S Hikaru Strike. https://twitter.com/ARCADIA_Co_Ltd/status/819731535670583296
gunbuster76 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 i hope they go down the line and do max and kaki 1a's.
Firefox Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Bandai absolutely kills Acadia. They have nothing interesting for a long time. If they have not been pricing themselves out in the begining, things could be slightly different.
jenius Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 So expected and so boring, easy pass. I would love to know Arcadia'stop strategy.
QEssential Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 I can't believe Arcadia's gonna release the VF-1S again! How boring?!?!? I can't believe people are still buying the VF-1S? The market must be saturated with them! There's tons of other valks they can do like the VE-1 and VF-1D. Unless Arcadia really thinks there is no market for them...
barurutor Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Apparently Japan Macross fans (remember, we aren't the main market for these toys) have a hard-on for all things Hikaru. Look at the HM-R 1S Hikaru, resale now reaching 15-16k yen.
eggy99 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Would be nice if Arcadia just included a VF-1A head too.
SuperHobo Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 If Arcadia reissues the 1/60 V2 M&M super 1Js they will be the last VF-1s I will ever need. But alas, just another Hikaru or Roy release.
seti88 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Arcadia is lying low and producing star valks as bandai is riding the delta hypewave and creating waves of their own with HMR...

Universe1010 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 I'm up for a Hikaru since I wasn't able to get one last time
seti88 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 6 minutes ago, QEssential said: So Arcadia is finished? I think its gonna be hard for them to compete with bandai, given that bandai is producing cheaper and newer valks from the delta series. Bandai has already has 3 DX delta valks which have all sold out at pre-order, plus their price point on the HMR's isnt even in arcadia's category. Since bandai DX'es arent cheap either, that's less money available to harvest from the macross fan pool... I wouldnt say arcadia is finished, but they will have to rely on other toys like the garland for example to keep em a float...
