Chronocidal Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I don't even give two shakes about the exposed strike parts, the only reason I want this release at all is to get the reprinted tail that fixes Bandai's boneheaded unwillingness to admit their own stupid production blunder on the original.

MKT Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I did see a listing for a pre-owned Mechanic Edition at Amiami last week, listed at circa Yen 70k. It was sold the same day lol. Yeahh hopefully price will come down to more sane levels, like how the last DX Chogokin TN 2017 exclusive the VF-31J Kai did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spark-O-Matic Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 It really belongs here Chogokin Line but that would mean a retool of the 1/48 and fixing all the little issues to make it perfect. not happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechapilot77 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) color me surprised nobody in here seems interested in the 50th (/of chogokin, not macross glad we aren't that old yet) anniversary version. i think it looks kinda cool. way better than arcadia or yamato's old offerings for macross anniveraries. looks like this is only going to be in physical stores? we actually have a store here in nyc it seems. wonder if they will carry it. seems like USA not greyed out like europe and latam.

Radioguy Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Am I nuts or does the site say it CAN be sold in the USA, and not only that, but will be at the Tamashii store in Times Square??? I am hyperventilating here over the implications of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity, can I ask why do you think it needs to be part of Soul of Chogokin line when it's just a plated version of VF-1J from DX Chogokin line?

borgified Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 It’s a glorified version of the KC version @davidwhangchoi (with overpriced worthless hollow transparent plastic and useless die cast metal parts according to one person in another Macross site). It’s it worth overspending your money on a FOMO valk for your collection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anasazi37 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 This could have been a production run of the long-overdue VF-1A Hayao TV, to complete the squadron. But no, we're getting something...unique instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks did grab Yammie repaints once upon a time, so it's not like this is unprecedented. It certainly looks better than the 30th Anniversary Arcadia. I just hope the availability is correct, and it's successful. If that door is opened, who knows what may come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borgified Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 You forgot the Arcadia “Tux” 1j @Radioguy as well. Looked unappealing for some and possibly sat on the shelves for a chunk of time. Years later, it got snapped up. Most likely that this DX “not KC inspired” valk will eventually sell out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
