Wait. What?! You guys not gonna support this?!

Amen to that, Ignacio.

Hey seti88. So far it looks ok. No scratch whatsoever on the back part of my VF-0A. Ghost canards is still ok too. But with you mentioning it, I will double check it tonight when I get home. But based on last night's testing, it still fits though you really just need to squeeze the Ghost canards a little just for it to insert it in the tabs. But let me check it tonight if it also created some stress on the Ghost canards. Will update you later.

No! VF-0A first, Saburo! VF-27/Avocado can wait.

And that's three (3) of everything for all the modes. Right, Spanner? Not to mention all the modes of the add-on packs as well. His generation of 'Takatoku' toys.

Yeah. But my point was since there was no armaments used by Isamu on that 5sec cameo, Bandai decided to put hard points on his wing. Which goes back to what bongcp45 first posted that he was hoping that V3 of the VF-25's will have hard points on it, in which you replied there was no need since VF-25's didn't use armaments on it. But Bandai still did put hard points on its new mold released Valks.

Happy Tuesday!

Yeah. Didn't thought of that. If that's the case and they decided on producing option parts for it, I only wish they will make some for Leon's YF-30.

Talk about poor quality. Yours looks better than the ones that I've uploaded. Hahaha! Btw, great pics Spanner! Regarding the backpack part. Mine is also like that when it not transformed properly. So what I do is pull it back again, untill those hinge/folding connectors are flushed. It may take awhile but it works. The only thing puzzles me was why there's 2 tabs in the side of the backpacks. I know one slot is for the legs during fighter mode. Would the other slot for the upcoming Reactive Armor? Hmmm. You're welcome brouken. Just be careful though when you put it since you really need to squeeze the Ghost canards to fit it in the slots. Yeah, I just hope Arcadia replaced the brown pods or gave us extra attachments on their new larger hard points slots. Coz they really are loose. That's cool. Thought it's gonna get hold up somehow in the post office. That's great to hear. And yeah, I bought a lot of stuff back then. And I also met the owner. One call to reserve the toy, and boom! It's yours. And I get discounts too. Hehehe. Thanks on the Ghost Booster. That's the second thing I did when I took out the VF-0A after inspecting the paint applications. And be careful when you replace the part on the back, transform it mid-way to battroid in order to take the replacement part. If not, you can't take it off properly in fighter mode. You might damage the cool grey paint. Actually the Ghost Booster will not fall off since you really need to squeeze more the Ghost's canards just to fit it into the slot. And that what makes it tight. I don't think it's as loose compared when attached to the Yamato 0S/A. But the other missile/tanks attachments from the Ghost set is not gonna fit properly on the tabs and even in the wing hard points. Bummer that they marketed before that everything should fits when it really doesn't. But don't get me wrong though. I really love this release inspite of all the flaws. Is it really worth the value after seeing all those flaws? No. But hey, you can't get this anywhere so I'm still happy to have one. Jenius and Yeti already fixed theirs. And I already fixed my VF-0D knee joint. Hehehe. So basically you can fix yours too. And true that the same problem will still be in the upcoming VF-0S. But for what it is now, I'm really decided to get it just in case they fold the Macross division in the foresseable future. I totally agree on the paint. Actually my first impression when I took out the valk the first time from the box, I said to myself that it looks like a 'painted' high-end model kit that needed no transformation. Like everywhere I look it's painted and I'm guessing which is molded in the right color of plastic. Whenever I transform an Arcadia toy is not the same as how I transform a Yamato toy. And I do really like how big he is besides the VF-1's. HUGE! Thanks sh9000! I know it's not as good as Saburo's but I just took some to point out some.

Yeah. That's true too. And they didn't even came up with any option parts to replace the missle pod area either even though Kawamori thought of it based on his interview videos.

Isamu didn't carry any wing armaments on his VF-19 Advance, was he? But Bandai did put some on his toy valk.

In 10-15 years while waiting for new Valks based on your 3D prints predictions, I'm going to make sure I'm still sitting pretty besides my Yamato/Arcadia/Bandai Valk toys.

Additional pointers on the backpack area based on what I saw in the manual. Push the folding back part area more towards the body so that it will create a space so that when you fold the backpack it will have more clearance. Atleast the pointy part from the back is not touching the tailfins. Hope that helps. Just comparing the greys on both VF-4G and VF-0A. Love it.

Hahaha!

Thanks Spanner. Go get another one! Btw, I don't advice to use the Flightpose Stands on this one for a long period of time. If you have the old one (black tip), probably it's ok. But if you have the clear silicone tip, don't let sit there for long. All the bottom parts of the VF-0A are painted. You don't want silicon stain marks on those, right?

Hey Spanner. Want some?

The 'black' lights? Yeah, it looks like it's a separate piece. But I check it closer and it's just painted nice to make it look like a separate piece. Actually the wing is kinda thinner compared to the VF-1's from Yamato. No worries, Spanner. Did you get yours today? Regarding the triangles one, my only advice is only watch out the shoulder armor once you tuck it back in going to fighter so that they will not have any contacts to the triangle. Otherwise, it's gonna scratch some paint. So what I did was fold the shoulder armor upward and somehow used my fingers to guard the part while rotating it so that it's not gonna hit the triangle. I'm just glad that the Ghost Booster fits. It's the 'brown pods' is loose since the hole is a little bigger and shallow. I might trim the 'brown pod' tabs and probably wrap it in tape or put some nail polish to make it tight. But overall, I'm a one happy Arcadia VF-0A customer. Looking forward to the VF-0S and the Reactive Armor. Same as the Yamato. It came with extra mount parts that you need to replace on the Valk. On the top, it's for the brown colored pods. On the side is the slot for the Ghost Booster's folding canards. And yes, it does FIT. I also posted some pics to show that it fits. Congrats!

Don't worry abbadon. After all that siesta, the 'masa' will always wins. Hehehe. Btw, out of curiosity, how long does it take for you to get a package everytime you order online esp hobby purchases? Never had an experience ordering online directly when I was still there. I always go to GreatToys. Suki eh. That's not mine Spanner! Just grabbed from the net. I only bought one along with the Hasegawa SDF-1 (Movie Ver) kit. Hey Saburo. Thanks. I also checked it when I got home. Yeah, they're near somehow. The VF-0A has more 'greenish' hue to it and the VF-4G has more 'bluish' hue in it. Which is kinda nice. Btw, I like that two-toned grey that the VF-0A have. W00t W00t! And here it goes... Boom! It FITS! The triangle filler is not that bad.

Looks like 2x per case as per this pic.

Thanks abbadon. I'm just going to keep it for now since I don't have time to build and paint yet. Btw, did you also bought the VF-0A? Make sure that it's been declared cheap or else Commissioner Lina will charge you higher custom tax.

My VF-0A and SDF-1 arrived in our mailroom just in time for me to leave work.

Man, looks like I'm not going to get it today even though it's already been delivered to our main company mail service. No notification yet from the mailroom. Oh well... Edit: Yeah! After 20mins, I got a notice that my package is upfront. Woohoo!

VF-1 with Atmospheric Booster. Loaded with Dual Strike Packs while we're at it.

May 2015.

That sir, would probably the last hurrah. aka, the Farewell release once again. Or... a Web order of SV-51.
