You wonder if Yamato has been hesitant about doing more VF-0 fighters due to the horrible reputation they earned, maybe they feel people will be to timid to buy them....? I don't really know, just a shot in the dark. But if your sales drop on a certain item, and the rep is bad, you reconsider investing more money for it. After all, your in this to make a profit, Not charity to toy collectors.
But you have to admit, Yamato has kept a very low pro with the VF-0's, Between exploding/cracking shoulders. floppy wings with the SV-51 line. Even the reissued VF-0S was not loudly advertised. And never a clear cut word as to whether Shins 0A was truly fixed, only a 50/50 shot. I love the VF-0, I have 2 of them. but at the current asking price, the hassle of broken pieces & replacement parts. I'll pass for now.
However if they go back to the drawing board, a full re-release. all new design as was rumored to be. A VF-0D and the Reactive Armor. I'll save some $$$ for that!!!
And yes, the VF-4!!!!!!!!
