    Me too, that, Alaska Guard, Max 1S and brown 1J and I think I could call my Yamcadia 1/60 VF-1 collection done. Unless they make a low vis VF-1D.

    I think Arcadia should only do the weathered PF from now on

    They probably will.

    I would prefer having the option of un-weathered releases though, to save money and I can weather it myself.

    Yep. I already got the 1J, but I wouldn't mind an extra. However, I'd prioritize the Alaska base valk, and the Max 1S over it. Speaking of the Alaska base valk...given that the valks in general had the A, J, and S variants...would they be crazy enough to do one of each? :D 

    My wallet is telling you to shut up :lol

    It was cracks around the wrist joint and the knuckle joints. One day I might pick up the PF 0D if I have some spare cash around, but I'm praying Arcadia took my message to heart to adjust this area.

    Thanks for the pics, I was hoping they were along a seam, easier fix that way

    I doubt it unless there’s a sketch of Alaska Guard J/S deco Kawamori stashed somewhere. Not sure if deco would’ve changed but J/S deco usually has some kind of difference

    Just use the Joon's color scheme for the J :D  For the S you could probably get away of a variant of that.

    Oh no... :eek: 

    Do we have to put @Dark Skull and @FireSkyJet on a stake and also burn them up with @Slave IV as well?

    I don’t want to make anything easier for scalpers either but I don’t think “scalper proofing” a thread is worth doing at the expense of fellow fans (nor do I believe it would make a lick of difference).

    I have relied a lot on links posted here and at MW to find preorder pages for things. What’s your guys’ suggestion for people like myself or lurker fans if you don’t want links posted publicly? Because the alternative to me seems like a “tough shit for you then” situation.

    Nope... Dante's Inferno Style. Full Heat.



    I think that this was discussed over at MW to some degree. There where lurkers and they just went on for the ride to get what they wanted without any feedbacks and never appeared again. We roasted a few scammers over there (no names mentioned to protect the identities) and they haven't been back.

    Yeah, I dunno. If someone seems genuinely out to get some help, I’d try to help. Some people who seem iffy, I might just sit back and see how it goes before I actively try to help them. End of the day, there is some experience and technique involved to help your chances at PO but it’s also a lot of having a good connection and a lot of luck. It’s not rocket science so if someone wants something bad enough, they can figure it out like most of us did.

    Well, this takes the convo a different direction than I had been discussing before, but I think @Slave IV is spot on as well as @Shin Densetsu ’s comments awhile back.

    Community is about everyone chipping in, so yeah, tough shit to lurkers. What they glean from a site that they never contribute to is gracious because it’s a public forum. I help out all the time, so I’m not personally being stingy, but it’s like slave said:
    At the same time, I don’t go posting links until I’ve either decided not to purchase or have purchased. Ya know? Macross isn’t TF. Unless it’s Gigawatt you have at least 5-10 min even on a hot item. Macross as we know is seconds in many cases for POs.

    Also this:

    yagamitsuki on eBay

    Never bought anything from there. So you have to roll the dice on them yourself @rabid_wolf.
