Sanity is Optional Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Ooh, hope HLJ puts it up soon, going to go through them for that 10% off black Friday code and combined shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmareB4macross Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I wonder if more stateside retailers will open orders. Hopefully at a better price point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rising cost is an ouch to me and Amazon Japan is currently giving international customers only one choice for shipping. Eh, I'm okay with waiting for other options. On a related note, I'm also not a fan of the bulky Yamato/Arcadia style boxes. I wish Arcadia would take a cue from Bandai and redesign their boxes to save on space. Packaging the Valks in bat mode or with the wings folded would be cool, for instance. I wouldn't miss the larger square boxes if they suddenly disappeared.

technoblue Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 It looks like this has as much printed detail as the ol' Yamato release. I'm definitely in. I just need to figure out where to buy it. 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Hoping the quality control on this one is a step up from the Ivanov. Besides the ankle snafu, mine came out of the box with a mis-assembled/useless shoulder that spun like a pinwheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I'll wait for HLJ to open preorders. I want to be covered in case something like the Ivanov leg problem happens again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk maybe this release is the worldwide release. I somehow can order from my local hobby shop at msrp for about 36800JPY without additional overseas shipping cost. its very weird to be able to pre-order macross related stuff without steep mark up here.

kajnrig Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 In case you can't wait, Amiami's got one of the Yammie version: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=TOY-RBT-0029-R I know a similar question was asked above, but is the Arcadia toy just the Yammie molds refined and revised, or did they create brand new molds that just necessarily follow similar shapes, lines, etc., as the Yammie one?
