I didn't have one before so I rather get this one than pay $1000 for a regular Yamato one after market price. *giddy* *giddy* In same boat as you man, any price is better the the 1-2 grand it's priced at now. How did it even get to that point?? Can we all agree that we'll never let another Macross toy get that expensive, at least on our forums.

wmkjr Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Pic taken from Arcadia's WF blog entry. Shows what was shown at WF. The PF SDF-1 with inking and phosphorescent painting under UV light. Mr. K doesn't know what exactly what the PF version will include yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 http://ameblo.jp/arcadiaac/entry-12298033985.html translated via google...... "Privately, I use the same mold as the previous work, I feel like adding a sticker. Mandatory type is normal specification. As usual it is a good size. The fortress type exhibition is the "PF" version. Although the content of "PF" has not been confirmed, it looks like that with inking & phosphorescent painting. I'm thinking about calming down the entire surface with mud clear." It seems that arcadia is mulling it over what to add into the premium finish (PF) version in terms of glow in dark and even adding a clear mud color??! Should we start calling PF versions now?

I think we will need black lights to see it exactly that way, it wouldnt be so bright under normal darkness if am not mistaken.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's going to be like that, I'm just happy that this is what I'm going to get less than old Yamato's $1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anime52k8 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 so the "premium finish" just panel lines and glow in the dark paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sildani Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Might also be a wash across the entire model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Hmm, I'm no fan of the DYRL version of the SDF-1 but if the Premium Version actually looks like that I'd probably go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Rasp Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Information on the regular release from Acadia's website. http://arcadia.ac/products/detail.php?product_id=252 So the pre-order for the regular release is definitely going up this week based on the release data and the dengeki site. The pre-oder for the premium version could also be going up at the same time, but I doubt it. The Valkyrie releases the premium version pre-orders have always been after the regular releases. Also based on the price of the regular release it looks like the premium will be over the $400 mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the Data specs, it says: さらに、アルカディアオンラインショップ限定で、蓄光塗料を使用した特別仕様版「1/3000 完全変形SDF-1 MACROSS Premium Finish版」も販売されるので、合わせてチェックしてくださいね！ That translates as per Google Translate into: In addition, special specification version "1/3000 complete deformed SDF-1 MACROSS Premium Finish version" using luminescent paint is also sold at Arcadia Online Shop only, so please check it together! So it means they're going to offer both versions for preorder at the same time? Thought the Premium Finish version is for later. Hmm. Anyways, I'm all IN for a Premium one. It's about time. Would it be nice to see a Premium Finish of this one too down the line? Or a Premium Finish of the 1/2000 scale. For sure they have that mold too. One can dream, right?

General Rasp Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Are there any pictures of the Hi-Metal Rs with the Yamato SDF-1? I know the scale is way off but I wonder how they look together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Jenius' review, i'm sure people said the same thing about the crack shoulder issue assuming it was an isolated case and not a big deal, but look how that turned out. Just putting my thoughts out there, no need to break your caps lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
