Loop Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Why would Spanner have to replace everything? I am damn sure holding on to all of my Yamato's even if Bandai released a VF-1 series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. Who says the (hypothetical) Bandai efforts would be any better and if so in what way? Shinier plastic? More line-art accurate? - that would be hard.

skullmilitia Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Take this with a grain of salt, as it's hard to always translate exactly, being a non-really-all-speaking-much-japanese. But I think the rights got "switched owners". Which could mean Bandai, or that they just don't have the capital to pay the renewal fee right now. I would assume with Bandai's new push on DYRL, that the "Speculation" is more informal than you realize. Would also line up with what my understanding was. Either way, I wouldn't hold your breath for VF-1's from Arcadia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Ouch. The licensing rumors seems like a lot of unfortunate timing for Arcadia. If any of it is true, hopefully this time out is just temporary. In the meantime, I like how the company is revisiting other Macross properties. And the price of the 4G means that I'm locked in for a second copy. But seriously, are you going to buy the MAXL? And how many if ever? Moi? I'm just curious to have it made. Oh yeah. I would buy the MAXL in a heartbeat - and the VF-17T. In fact, I think Macross 7 would be a good series to revisit along with Macross Zero, if Arcadia was able to renew that license too. On a more personal note, having a complete Sound Force squadron is something of a holy grail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saburo Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Finally! You made up your mind. hehe.. it was always going to be 2, the 6 pack comment was giving a wmkjr a suggestion on how many to buy, he was trying to decide how many and the 4 was to cheer you on to buy 4.

Valkyrie addict Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) If those speculations are true, Bandai would have to make one killer VF-1 for me to replace all my yammies. If its similar or provides nothing extraordinay the most I would do is just get one. Also, if Arcadia can keep pumping out VF-4G's at such a price, I say they should start rolling out the repaints!, I'd be happy to get many!

treatment Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) 27k in 2/16, huh? Minus some po discounts somewhere. If po-discounts gets offered at all. Still a damn fugly battroid to me, but I might as well try to get one since I really don't have much coming in Feb so far. Prolly a bit less fugly to own than MP-28 Hot RodDumbass. Btw, has the 75k Yammie-orig on Jungle drop down drastically in pricing now? edit2: hah! still there! http://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/?page_id=121&id=1298530 There's also B-grade now at 59.6k.

Valkyrie addict Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 LOL!, I like my VF-4G with brown feet!! Arcadia should do a partnership again with Hasegawa for unique squadron schemes.

Jasonc Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 At the new price, I can afford another 2, and then have a group, with one being the FB2012. Until we find out more about the licensing of that and what the possibilities are (or aren't), I'll hold off doing any custom work right away.

Falconkpd Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I've got to say, I love the VF-4 battroid. It's very unique and looks like a tank...But...A fast tank. Almost like someone took a tank, put rockets, legs and wings on it, and sent it to kick ass. I dunno...I'm a sucker for the Lightning.

The VF-4 will stay in Fighter mode because it never transformed in FB2012. This is the VFX version though and not the FB2012 version, so it did transform to battroid mode. I got used to the mode while I was playing the Macross ultimate frontier game on PSP. It also did not use a gun pod either in that game as far as I can remember. I used to feel the same about the battroid mode though, but since I got my first 2 on release one has stayed in battroid and the other one in fighter so I got used to it.

TheLoneWolf Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Thats what I said a long time ago. From what i had heard, myself from digging around is that FB2012 is a clusterf***. Apparently some of the artists and song writers hold a piece of the pie. Not just a matter of coops between studios. Thats the best i could do with limited language knowledge. It was enough that i stopped digging. Just curious, but what's your source? Because I've never heard of any complications regarding Flashback 2012.

Mr March Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Great news about the price (proportionally speaking in context for these types of toys, of course). A truly welcome relief. Doubt I'll be able to swing the exclusive to grab a second GU-11 Gun Pod, but maybe I might get lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
