Arcadia 1/60 VF-19 Custom Nekki Basara Special with Sound Booster
skullmilitia replied to SaitouSad's topic in Toys
There must be some serious licensing issues with VF-4 repaints. It's seriously the only thing that's a absolute gauranteed sale. -
Arcadia 1/60 VF-19 Custom Nekki Basara Special with Sound Booster
skullmilitia replied to SaitouSad's topic in Toys
Easy pass unless it's the new parts like intake covers are removable and stuff. Although the Soundbooster is boring, how about the huge speaker pod that never got released? -
Kickstarter would work well. Once you got a estimated cost from a tooler you could set it up. I'd go with making Bandai arms that attach to the existing base like you have. It would be a lower price point and a buy for everyone who collects DX. Add the extra cash as a stretch goal for a base plate. Then make that base plate compatible with the arms for people who want a Non SMS base. Last major stretch goal should be a Yamato connector for the arm tops. A really well done stand would sell more then a thousand. In fact I'd bet you'd have a 1000 just from this site, just between Kicker and Macross Master.. Haha, but really, I think it's more then possible.

I think It might just be, due to it being the first "New" 19' that's not gloss, I think the matte finish is throwing me off. To be honest it feels just as nice, and solid as the Arcadia Roy VF-1. In fact the only thing that's an annoyance for me, is the rear wings are loose, but once transformed, they stay where they are. So in reality, i don't really have any complaints. It's solid in every mode,

You could always get a quote from a Manufacturer for a small run in China. If you are interested in finding out let me know.

I think we all discussed this before, and that it's simply just Animmagic. I do think this.. YF-19 should be considered a "Completed and painted model kit", Because that's what it feels like. There really isn't a "toy" feeling to this at all. You have to take care of it, just like a transforming model kit. Unlike the VF-19's which feel solid, heavy and more toy like.

The wing root has a lip that attaches to the leg, if it's still straight, the gerwalk joint won't work.

Paypal is the only law, and they are limited. For those of you getting mad, well, you signed that you acknowledged thier return procedures when you Started an account there. Now you're mad you have to follow them? Who's the real ass here? I'm sorry your toy is broke, it sucks, but it was your choice to buy, your choice to read The terms of service. Everyone here knows that people outside of Japan are SOL on returns and refunds, not only by experience of the mass, But written in every shops terms. Now suddenly you attack them all? Are you kidding me?
-
Are you new to buying overseas?
-
Gerwalk looks very similar to the bird of prey look of the SV-51's. Pre-order button ready!
-
You know they will get it back, and just reship it to someone else with a beat up box lol. "It was the post office"
-
Haha! I'm afraid to move anything else! Next time I'll wear plaid pants and put it in my lap lol
-
Trying to bring the thread back lol

It's the lightning, the reflection of it below is grey.

Have you tried sending them a reply asking for a more respectful refund, or you'll contact you credit card company? Obviously, who gives a crap if they ban you, the difference in discount from HLJ doesn't pay when this happens. I dunno, if try some intimidation in email.

Honeslty I love this thing.. but.. I'm not as thrilled as the last major release.. the VF-4. This thing just FEELS brittle. Also, I noticed while transforming it (I've transformed the 19's too may times to count. The plastic seems to be extremely pliable, in a bad way. Both wing connection points have small marks where they require the force to move. The VF-19's plastic didn't do that. The wings, oh my god the wings, they are simply terrifying. I'm afraid to look at the them wrong. and last, my rear stabilizers are loose, all the joints on them are loose. On top of that, they don't appear to lay flat. still in the end, just seeing it sitting there, it's perfection. it looks so tough I think It might beat the crap out of me when I'm not looking.
-
Yep, I tried to put the gun pod in the hand, and the mounting point in the arm split and shot out. Then I tried the other arm, and the hand and half of the attachment point pulled out. the back piece fell and took 20 minutes to find on the floor. The right hip joint as just enough tightness to hold it up in battroid. Unless I turn on the fan.. lol
-
I got my box from HLJ, my YF-19 is perfect, it definitely feels a little more breaky then the VF-19's. But before I could finish posting this, my VF-19S I just bought from HLJ had both hands explode, and the hip joint is looser then a crackwhore. Yamato'd one way or another! lol You should be banned for even mentioning committing international fraud.

Mommar, try going into your Bank, and opening a dispute for the transaction. Depending on who, you might be able to bypass paypal. Be warned though, going above Paypals iron monopolized grip on net transactions may get your account closed. I've done it once successfully.
-
MrK just said their May be some spare parts, but to go through the store that it was bought from. Not Arcadia's support page.
-
Someone just throw a wad of cash in Mikimotos hands and tell him to interfere. Kawamori should have a portfolio full of future valks just in case. I think Mikimoto is a better story teller, Kawamori needs to behind the images.

If there's a lot of complaints from Japanese customers it might get some notice, but two guys on a forum from somewhere other then Japan isn't going to do anything. By tweeting the picture, everyone who follows MrK will see the post, if there's more issues with the wings, it will start to pour in. If there's not, then it probably was shipping, or you just got one of the few bad parts. you get more with Honey then vinegar.
-
I know you guys are pissed, but no amount of web bitching, or videos, is going to allow Arcadia to violate the licensing by taking care of outside of Japan customers who they aren't "supposed" to be selling too. Then you're opening up a huge can of worms with Big West, and our friendly american Harmony Gold douche police. You're better off cooling down, taking a step back, and trying to find help from one of our buddies who can visit Arcadia and get help under the radar. Or do whatever you want, make a bunch of noise, and still have a broke ass toy. your choice of course..

It might be a more fitting idea to have someone that's in Japan to see if they can get replacements from Arcadia, or at least visit the office and get some answers. I'm sure one of our resident MW superhero's over there would try at least. I'm going to guess AmiAmi is just going to give refunds if they have any tact. This doesn't look well for Arcadia, bad shoulders, cracking canopies, happening later down the road is one thing, but seared off pieces of wing is just Bad QC, none of my Bandai's ever came broken in box. Unlike Bandai, I guarantee you Arcadia would help... if someone in Japan takes one for the team and heads over to their office.
