Jenius, I remember from your Yamato review that the packaging wasn't nice for a Y30000 collectible. Seeing Arcadia's dimension now, do you think they're still using the same type of box? Looks the same to me: From Arcadia's tweet a few posts ago. Edited November 29, 2017 by wmkjr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemanoeuvres Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Very nice; I’m excited for everyone that ordered one. Wish I had the extra dough to pick one up. To much good stuff coming out over the next few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far Arcadia has generally improved in Yamato packaging so I hope it is but not enough to go on yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see. As long that the figure inside is well-secured, then I guess I'm ok with it. Because I'm expecting the same size and box built for their Premium Finish version only in black.

Well, the fact that the weight is 90g heavier at least points to some refinements in the design (more metal, thicker plastic, or more accessories?)

jenius Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Does the box have a flip up lid? I would bet money there are no differences other than packaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they will add refinements into it. Because if they did, they already posted it on their blog the way they informed customers regarding updates on their releases. It's either they changed the material stock on their packaging. Or they added a flip up lid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Looks like it's the same as Yamato's packaging based on what Jenius posted on his Yamato review. Can't wait for the wallet-buster Premium Finish next year. Edited November 29, 2017 by no3Ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I can only justify getting one of these, so I'm waiting for the premium finish version, but I definitely wish I could get some quality time with one of these to look it over.

fenrir72 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 So the Premium finish won't have the decal sheet right? Aside from the glow in the dark, so the decal from the original is now factory painted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brouken Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I know this is long shot, but I’m hoping Arcadia goes a little bit further with the Premium and put luminescent paint apps on Macross City as well. Just something to break that monochrome look. On 11/30/2017 at 7:16 AM, Pedro2k6 said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Hey - pretty sure that structurally the two releases are identical, so no 'extra' metal parts or joints or anything like that. The only difference will be the amount of paint and decal application. OR What Sanity is Optional just said. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it relates to the original question - "Is there any difference between the premium version and regular other than the painting? Does the premium have more metal? Why is it so much more expensive? " the answer is just paint. 7 minutes ago, spacemanoeuvres said: So it is just the paint lol p.s. don’t tell me what to do All jokes aside, I think everyone who ordered the Premium (including me) is very hopeful that Arcadia puts in all of the time and effort needed in order to validate the asking price. So 'just' as a relative term, I hope that the final product is worthy of the differentiation. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Hope they add details to it to the Macross City. Because if you think about it, the Premium Finish is already painted and sprayed with topcoat as per Arcadia's description. So if ever one wants to customized the City if ever it comes unpainted, then it will be hard to dissassemble it and paint it inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
