jenius Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Looking at the releases: Yamato VF-19Kai Fire, May of 2011, MSRP 22,000 YEN Yamato VF-19S Blazer, November 2011, 22,000 YEN Yamato VF-19F, August 2012, 22,000 YEN Yamato VF-19P, December 2012, 22,000 YEN Arcadia VF-19Kai + Sound Booster Gift-set, September 2014, 34,800 YEN It's been EIGHT years since it was released by Yamato. The Arcadia version was also a very small production run and even that was over four years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foblander Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) Thanks jenius. I was just trying to see why it's so difficult to locate a VF-19 Kai compared to the other VF-19 figures released by Yamato. The Kai was even rereleased by Arcadia like you mentioned. I see more S, F, and P than I do the Kai. Edited December 16, 2018 by Foblander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 The Kai is definitely the iconic mech from the series and it was a well-liked toy so it seems we've finally hit the inflection point where, after years of being available below MSRP, it's becoming a collectible. That might help Bandai decide they should make one one day since the market is no longer saturated with excess Yamato stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely interested if Bandai makes a DX fire valk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
