Too bad about the 1/60 scale. Maybe it will be revisited at a later time and garner more interest.

Hmm, it's still on Arcadia's Twitter and their staff blog on their website so maybe my info's not refreshed. Unless it was sarcasm and I totally missed it. Also, what's with the time stamp being in words and some in numbers. Is there a way to change it?

I posted the markings correction earlier but your post has more info and links. Thanks for the info about the battroid seat and the customer service info (which basically says were on our own).

Very nice. Now you need to do the 0D and 0A combo next.

They are both the same MSRP. The discount% from each retailer is less for the 0S than the 0A. Why the decrease? Who knows? Maybe like you said because he's more popular.

Got it now. Thanks!

I'm guessing they would post the issues so that others are made aware of them when handling them for the first time. Good point about the fans in Japan and that's good for them but it still would not address the fact of QC issues from the factory. As for customer service that's fine for the people in Japan as I expect Arcadia will take care of them. But what about the rest of us? Does anyone know if they'll take care of exports or tried to get replacement parts? Amazon has excellent customer service as I've had to call them up about wrong shipped items and they shipped out the correct items right then and there. I've never tried to contact Arcadia's customer service but with the whole licensing issues I wonder if they even can help. That would be nice if Arcadia did that Mommar, a domestic vs export QC issues comparison. Maybe they already have. edit: Sorry, all of the above was typed before your reply Mommar except the bottom. Also, it sucks that they couldn't send people to the factories more frequently to oversee the builds.

Maybe it's just that as we are centralized as a group, being vocal to the QC issues let's more people become aware of said issues and say "Hey! I got the same issues!" and adds to the encounter rate. Compared to someone not on here and just got their valk with QC issues, he's on his own and not able to let anyone know. Maybe they can use social media to vent but unless they have followers that like Macross or collecting to help retweet it wouldn't help address the issue. What would be the best way to contact Arcadia about the QC issues without having them lose face? Arcadia's customer service email? Being outside of Japan, would they even consider problems encountered and address them or just brush it off as "Sorry for that happening, non domestic purchases are buy at your own risk". How about via social media? I've noticed a few postings/retweets on his twitter about some of the QC issues but not too many. Maybe if a lot of people start describing and posting pics of the QC issues on Arcadia's twitter it could be addressed better or is it a cultural no-no to talk negatively like mentioned earlier?

NIce pics Saburo. Love the lighting.

Got it. It looks good in those shots especially the front so aggressive looking. Are you also planning on making a stand adapter for this?

Looks good to me. Got a comparison pic like the Macross Chronicle scale?

It's from Macross the ride. I thought it was a Hasegawa thing.

Nice find! One day...

The canards are not to bad to me personally. I'm not gentle when I handle the ghosts and put them on/off at least 10 times to test.

I tried putting on the ghost today. To bad the weapons don't fit too good.

I'm also guessing they will do a Ghost renewal too. The holes can't be that off on purpose right?

Very nice shots! Did you use anything to fill in the connection points like paper? My CFT missiles are loose.

Great read and pics. Interesting to see how a factory looks. I wonder if Arcadia's one looks like that but more amped up.

Suuuppaahh Baattlllee Pooosssuu! Missing a couple valks to make it like a Super Sentai pose.

That sucks.

It's close to passing for a VF-0B. I would need to swap the heads with each other then it would pass as a B and the other as a C. Oh and paint it a uniform color but it kinda matches like that. As for the Ghost. Can't you put the ghost down first then peg the tank down over it?

Hell yeah I want Arcadia to remain in business as long as possible! Any company making Macross anything for that matter (but I focus on the toy part mostly). They keep making them, I'll keep buying them! But for the more obscure offerings, I can see fans stepping up to fill those gaps with the tech to back it up in the future. Like the garage kits now but higher quality materials and finish.

Does this help? I like how this one feels hefty or something.

Finally picked up my box and what is the first thing that this big idiot does?

I bet if you send it to an enterprising individual or measurements he could make a set.
