The story of Yamato's life, unfortunately. It's crazy to think that a decade ago, you could have gotten any basic VF-1 Valkyrie for only 9800 yen- and they STILL shelfwarmed. Yamato was without question the greatest and most ambitious toy company of the 2000s- but they paid the price for not being Bandai. They were always too obscure. Nevermind their Valkyries, ridiculous items like this Ingram, the 4-pound diecast Shield Liger, or the SDF-1 are just far beyond what any toy company would have the balls to make today. And even if they weren't perfect, Yamato were still the first to put out the 1/48 VF-1 and 1/12 Scopedog. Arcadia exists only as a ghost of Yamato's once great stature, possessing none of their ambition.

May be the wrong thread but does anyone have any familiarity with the Revoltech Helldiver? I have the Wave W.H.A.M. one coming tomorrow but I honestly really like the look of it this one as well.

I agree with you whole heartedly bro....but as the end users we gotta support these creative endeavors..sad, but i hope to purchase one before end of 2019...its too awesome
