I purchased the Hong Kong Milk Magazine Aoshima Arcadia Limited Edition recently. I'm disappointed with this purchase and will most likely sell it. Here are some pictures: I thought this blue color Arcadia would grow on me, but it looks uglier the more I look at it. A picture taken with flash just to give you a better look at the shade of blue. The bridge is painted in glossy black. I wouldn't have minded if they painted it in flat black instead. This Aoshima Arcadia included two pewter figures. In my opinion, they're really ugly. Certificate Limited production of 700 pieces. I think the blue Arcadia doesn't compare to my other Aoshima limited glow-in-the dark version. Maybe andrewsz will be interested in buying a blue Arcadia to complete his collection. As for me, I'd rather get the black version, but those are very expensive now.

The blue version sucks. Simply that it.
This version has been over criticized because of its color and repetition, in my opinion the black ver. acadia is THE BEST above the all.

how much does the milk version cost, there? I can find it for about 140 US$ including shipping to Europe, that's about 115-120$ w/o shipping. Can you find it at a lower price, there?

Ugly is such a strong word and afterall beauty lies on the eyes of the beerholder...with that said, this version seems to be lacking detail, but $130 shipped to Terra Cotta...that's not a bad deal.

I think the actual blue is very nice but the black they used is horrible they should have just painted it the same blue as the hull.

The color scheme is just like the old 70s version... but it doesn't look that cool on this one.
can't WAIT ANOTHER DAY to get ahold of the new Blue Arcadia in OCt... I dream about it every night.....
