Slave IV Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 5 minutes ago, no3Ljm said: Correction. MW way is always to have three. One to open and display. One to keep it MISB. And one for swooshing. If you don't want that. One for Fighter. One for Gerwalk. One for Battroid. I know. I know. You might say SDF-1 only have two modes. Cruiser and Attack mode. That's true. But it won't hurt to try and do this on your third. Yeah, it goes with out saying that's what I meant, but for both versions...so 6 SDF-1's in total!

Hold on a minute there....I thought it was 1 to open/display/swoosh...in others words to actually enjoy...1 to keep MISB...and 1 just in case???? ....don't think the Arcadia/Yamato SDF-1 can do the "gerwalk" mode.....if it could I would have posed it next to the original inspiration...

Sanity is Optional Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Both HLJ and Hobby Search seem to be sold out of pre-orders for the standard version now. This popularity gives me hope for a TV version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to believe so, but the TV series isn't as popular in Japan, and also there will be people (myself included) waiting for the premium version. Plus I think they decide production volume based on presales to a certain extent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti88 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 (edited) the PF is still sometime next year. The standard should be releasing soon, tho now am not sure if that black box art is for the premium or the standard. It might be for the standard as some are reporting. btw...the PF glow application looks good, tho its out of my price range.

Sanity is Optional Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Those do look pretty good. Arcadia seems to be getting their paint apps down pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brouken Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Nice! I hope they put on very durable top-coating on the final figure. I'd hate for any of the luminescent paint to get scratched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardlyNever Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 As the release approaches, does anyone have recommendations for display cases/shelves for this thing? I've got a detolf, but I don't think it will fit in there, even in "storm attack" mode (it might squeeze in, but I don't have the space anyhow). I'd like something that could accommodate both modes for display, if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea they would probably do that wouldnt they? I would like to see them re-use the standard box with the sdf pic and then maybe slap on some glow in the dark Premium FInish...... text...

I may actually sell my normal version when the Premium ships, since I can't cancel it (through Hobby Search). I just knew they were sold out as I keep a web-alert on the pages for Macross/Arcadia stuff up so I can know when new things are available.

Given the amount of force needed to snap on the ARMDs, I'm hoping that my fingers won't accidentally rub off some of this $200 paint.

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?
