jvmacross Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I'm all about Battle 7, it's the M3 version of the 14 that I don't like. At least the Cutlas I like in fighter mode, I can't say I like any mode of the M3 14 however. I want a TV SDF-1....But I think Bandai can deliver one cheaper and with more gimmicks.....that said....bring on the Battle 7 Arcadia! BTW...although I agree the M3 VF-14 isn't as nice as the M+/7 version....I think it could easily be part of an epic milking of the VF-14 mold....just like the VF-19, VF-1 and current VF-0...

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Updated YF-21 Please! Had to pass on the old 1/60 being my favorite Valk. That Battroid mode was a complete deal breaker for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Would love to see a 1/60 VF-4 non-variable fighter mode. Put every gimmick possible on it, Flaps, speed brake, missiles, landing gear. FB 2012 paint scheme, Hikaru's pilot. $115-135.00 I'd be stoked!! I can live without the Gerwalk & Battroid modes. A TV SDF-1 1/3000 is a must. (Detail & tampo the $hit out of it) And the Cheyenne destroid would be really awesome too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Also I wouldn't mind if Arcadia would finish the 1/60 Destroid line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) As much as I'd like an Arcadia 1/3000 TV SDF-1....I think Bandai would deliver one with way more detail and gimmicks at a much lower price... However, I'll take an Arcadia Battle 7.... Edited July 13, 2015 by jvmacross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickyg Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Why? They did exactly this with the VF-19 Advance? You can argue quality or engineering approaches, but at the end of the day, Bandai delivered a product that had way more detail (panel lines/tampo) and gimmicks (boosters, transformation gimmicks like the leg panels) at a much lower price. Exactly what JVMacross said. Yes, he still may be crazy. But honestly why don't you think this isn't at least a possibility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brand-X Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I think Bandai would do decently well with an SDF-1. It is a very simple transformation after all with not much articulation. After my experiences with the 25 line and the new 19, I don't think I'll be buying much Bandai stuff that requires complex engineering.

no3Ljm Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Even if SDF-1 has simple transformation sequence, I believe that Bandai will still add complexity with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I would be happy with a 1/3000 SDF-1 re-issue.. Im sure we won't be seeing any new molds for something we don't already have unless its another renewal of a previous release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valhary Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 considering the "defeat" with the 19 advance maybe should focus in the macross zero line................. reactive armor and maybe a more solid sv51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I really don't see it as a defeat at all, I have both and like both. I still feel like Yamato/Arcadia make really nice display pieces and Bandai makes a nice toy, I also wish they would have caught on to the matte finish sooner than the YF-30. I think the 19A would have looked better without so much freaking tampo. If it was toned down just a bit, I would like it that much more. I could do with maybe a 3rd less tampo. I mean how many times do you have to put the word danger next to the air intake on the side of the plane? they already had the Triangle shaped one but had to add the extra one in the middle of the triangle. Maybe that was Bandai trying to make a version Katoki (Gundam Ver.Ka) out of a Macross fighter, even the film did not have that many markings. I think they always miss little details too like the landing gears being the wrong color and having a pilot chair without a headrest. I also don't get how they missed the tab in the rear with fast packs on while in fighter mode, to the point they Photoshopped it out of the promo pics, and they never went back to fix the gap in the rear in fighter mode. The VF-19A is very similar but it does have slight differences from the Plus era YF-19 in styling so there is that. I look at them as just that though different era 19's. I bought a couple of each mfg's 19's, but bought the Bandai ones specifically for the Frontier style wing boosters in fighter mode. All in all though I would not get rid of either as I am a 19 freak. I have 2 from Yamato, the standard and double nuts, all of the VF-19's that Yamato released including dupes to make a squad as long as we are not talking Basara's although I have 2 of those even lol. I have 2x of the 19P too. TLDR; I love all of teh 19's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loop Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 LOL! I would hope not. They already kinda burned the early adopter of the V1 line of VF-25's. So glad I resisted those, well it was not hard to actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loop Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Personally I love my Yamato SDF-1, the thing holds together in cruiser mode. I wanted a Macross quarter until I saw people jamming cardboard in gaps just to keep cruiser mode straight, also the colors were not correct. I would prefer Arcadia to release it and swap out the proper parts and recolor it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand-X Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I will only cry if it has fb2012 color scheme Yes, please dear god. The VF-4 is one of the last pieces I feel I really need to finish my collection. That, along with the DYRL SDF-1 (Someday... someday). Even though I've found a few offers that were somewhat reasonable, I've always passed on it because I really wouldn't feel right having a VF-4 without the FB2012 scheme, but for such an expensive purchase, I really wouldn't trust myself to do the painting.

Prices seem to be coming down. Market is getting flooded with them. I think everyone knows in the back of thier mind that it will get re-issued and unlike other collectible items, Macross toys see to fetch more money for the updated version while the original goes down in price due to no one wanting it. Funny how that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brand-X Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Yeah the prices are going down for sure, but they're still rather high and I was recently burned on buying FansToys Quakewave (a 3rd party transformer toy styled as the unofficial Masterpiece Shockwave) for quite a hefty price, and then 2 months later there's both a knockoff and new production run announced. So I think I'll wait for a bit, and even if they come down to the $300 or so price point, I'm still not painting a figure that expensive.
