Kinzoku VF Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Maybe if it had an 'Anniversario' printed on the fuselage I'd think about it. But at least there was an idea behind the Arcadia 30th crazy color scheme. It was meant to be a "VF-Itasha", (you know, like those Japanese cars covered with anime babes, logos etc). Hence it came with all, the Macross series stickers for you to customise the thing. This 35th Ver on the other hand, (even with stickers) would still look awful. They could've had a competition, with fans coming up with their own schemes and have a vote. Pretty sure we would've ended up with something better (even if it had to include the obligatory 35th logo) Main reason I picked up the 30th version was its price. New for $62.91 shortly after release (yes, like many, I keep prices on Excel sheets to track the stuff in my collection). Don't think it sold particularly well, although over the years it's price has picked up slightly. Sadly, the only thing I truly used was the plexiglass stand that came with it. . Who knows though, if I get lucky again and find one cheap, I'd probably get it as a companion piece for the 30th Ver, my 25th Anniversary 1/48 VF-1S and 35th HMR...I swear I don't like those Anniversary versions, but somehow they keep finding their way into my collection...

That will do just fine all covered up with a FEXT Thunder Hummer armor. Actually, it doesn’t look too bad by itself but I have no interest in displaying any of those anniversary decos.

Sandman Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Too much stuff to buy. There would have to be a severe lack of releases before i resorted to getting this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treatment Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) hmmm. It actually doesn't look bad at all under normal white lighting, unlike the previous crappy Tux-valk. per TD: Rather nice deco. Might actually get one if I see it decently priced somewhere...

kkx Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Does this come with the clear plexiglass fighter mode stand/holder that is in the 30th-anniversary version? Is there any way to buy those stand on its own? They are cool and easy to use. It is such a simple stand if I can figure out the shape, might be able to DIY a few for my valks.

DewPoint Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 The clear stands were supposed to be reissued and available for 500 yen not too long ago. I could never find any online vendors selling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duymon Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 After getting burnt so bad on the 30th anni 1J (i paid full price for it...)

DewPoint Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I was considering buying one of these, but the PF VE-1 release scratched that itch for me. Unless this gets really close to 10,000 yen, I may consider this again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Sorry for the Necro. I picked this sucker up 2nd-hand and noticed it didn't have decals, only these horrible stickers. Did the 35th anni not have decals like the 30th did? If so, that's really an epic fail O_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duymon Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 The last owner probably sold it when he saw the retarded sticker sheet that arcadia expects you to wrap around several curves. The 30th anni was only doable because of decals and lots of softener. Stickers look like ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
