do not disturb Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 I'm done with the Zeroes. I'd like to have a decent S with locking ankles and fixed shoulders, but it's not gonna happen. pretty much. only if they had put half the effort into making the VF-0 as they did for the VF-1, we'd all be down for some some VF-0 goodness but at this point, why plunk down more money for a toy you know they didn't fix, and you know will probably break. these will probably end up at half price on HLJ like some of the other subpar yamato releases.

eugimon Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 bah, I'm not getting it. looking at that promo pic, the feet still don't lock out. Quote
Dante74 Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 bah, I'm not getting it. looking at that promo pic, the feet still don't lock out. Nah, they probably just used an old VF-0S they had lying around to do the promo shots. They did the same for the VF-0A/Ghost promo pics. If you look closely at those pics, you'll see it's not Shin's VF-0A but a regular CF with some white stripes painted on. Quote

Dante74 Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 I'm TRYING to keep my word and not buy any more VF-0s. damn you. LOL! If you feel the urge to buy it, just take a look at your own avatar. I'm sure that'll cure any attacks of Consumerosis Yamatosis. Quote
eugimon Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 hah. my avatar made me angry for a while, but it's effect has worn off. heh. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 has anyone else seen this link? you guys might be interested... im not sure wether if this news is confirm... anyway just check it out VF-0s + Ghost Combo Sept release True..... Man thanks for the link. But i quickly made an executive decision that i don't need 2 Ghosts.... so i'm safe for the time being. Quote
Swoosh Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 I won't get a VF-0S until they make the reactive armor... Quote
Auto Pilot Off Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 ok it seems that its confirmed sept realease... im holding back getting a 2nd vf-0s and ghosts due to QC issues.. i may get it but i shall take my time.. hehehe.. maybe a stealth type would be nice... Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 A black VF-0 would be very interesting to see. I do want a Roy though... but i'll wait for the r/armour. I guess Nora will be my next 1/60 purchase................. HURRY UP WITH THE YF-21 DAMMIT! Quote
kensei Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Just curious, why would it take so long for it to be released? If they have the VF-0S 2nd reissue coming up and the Ghost B ready to go, then why would it take a year to bundle them together? typo. I meant 07 Quote
Scream Man Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 not bad. Tempting to get it and th shin one if for no other reason than a cool display piece in fighter mode.... Quote
eugimon Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 they would look great posed with the upcoming SV-51 as well, since those are going to come with the boosters standard. Quote
Scream Man Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 in fact with the Nora 51 as well, u could have an awesome battle display Quote
eugimon Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 yeah, but if I got the nora, I'd have to get the shin type. :| Quote
Scream Man Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 u co8ld always get it and just not transform it if u are worried. i have to confess im toying (ha) with getting a Shin Zero and a Focker zero with ghost when it comes out. The thing is i already have 2 of each type (S and A) already. i dunno if forking out $300 aussie on 2 places ive pretty much got twice already is a good idea. Quote
eugimon Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 True, I'm just not inclined to spend that kind of money on a transforming toy, that I'm afraid to transform. I'm thinking of getting the Focker/ghost, just to have a proper 0s that isn't hobled in fighter mode. Plus, it would just look so nice along with the SV-51. so tempted. Quote
Scream Man Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 How do u mean not hobled in fighter? i just hope the new os has tighter arms so i can pose it better. Quote
eugimon Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 woops, meant battroid. sorry. with the feet that don't lock out. Quote
recon Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) The grey ghost would also be released as a separate pack, in so you wouldnt have to fork out the price of the giftset to do up a VF-0S/Ghost or VF-0A Shin/Ghost just like in the M0 anime. The stupid thing is that the attachement for the missile pods add on is done in colors of the VF-0A. Unless you do own the other ghost, which has a attachment piece molded in VF-0S colors, getting the QF-2200D-B ghost is pretty much for the VF-0A only マクロスゼロ 1/60 QF-2200D-B ゴーストブースター 単品（予約） 商品コード GDS-8396 備考 ゴーストブースター単品商品です。 メーカー やまと 発売日 ０７年１０月未定 原作名 マクロスゼロ 解説 VF-0S・VF-0A（別売）に装備可能！ 標準小売価格 5,040円（税込） 販売価格 4,278円（税込） 15％オフ！ 購入制限 お一人様 3個まで。 （同一住所、あみあみ本店支店合わせての制限数です） On the contrary, i would want to get a VF0S/ghost giftset as i dun own a VF-0S as of yet, but yet im still quite skeptical about buying it due to the problem plaguing the Vf-0S/0A design Edited July 14, 2007 by recon Quote
eugimon Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 I would be wary. As long as the factory workers attach the shoulders to the body by "popping" them on, rather than assembling the two halves around the ball joint, you risk receiving a unit with stress marks, cracks or chips missing. Quote
recon Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 But whos going to educate or guide them in the proper assembly method of the forearms and shoulders, its like nobody cares anyway. Quote
eugimon Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 true. I think yamato should take into consideration assembly work-flow when designing these things. I think it would do a lot to resolve these sort of problems. Quote
odr78 Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 woops, meant battroid. sorry. with the feet that don't lock out. Woah.. What is the diferences between the Ghost A and the ghost B ( not the color.. I see it ) ?? Quote
DARKWIND Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 By the way did anyone find a way to fix the feet on the VF-0S? (To keep the locked out that is. . . ) Quote

eugimon Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 what does the Wave thread have to do with the Vf-0's gimpy leg? are you saying we should use tack to just stick the foot in place? Quote
DARKWIND Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Read this : http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...0&start=600 Okay. . . . . Lets try that again. Does anyone else have an idea that is actually relevant to this toy. . . Quote
aaajin Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) no...but I do have an idea on how to make use of this problem to our advantage. Its easy; Display it in fighter mode. And buy the new VF-0S for battroid mode. And when they come up with another better version, buy again for gerwalk mode... Edited July 15, 2007 by aaajin Quote

Guest sh002 Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 great i don't think i'll be getting this vf-0s with ghost booster even if they add fixes, etc. the only reason i got the vf-0a with ghost booster was because it was painted differently. i would definitely buy a box set of just reactive armor and ghost booster if they released it like that. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 so... spend a total of 450 dollars for transforming toys that you can't transform? lol, yeah sounds a bit silly doesn't it. My collection goes through many transformation cycles every time i feel the urge to change my display, and that's often. Quote
eugimon Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 my 1/48s and my yf-19, those I fiddle with and transform, but after having to buy 3 pairs of arms and ship them from japan, well, I'm afrain my VF-0s will remain in one form... made whole again, but display pieces only. Quote
Vermillion21 Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Can someone post or link to a pic of this ''reactive armour" I keep reading about? Thx in advance. Quote
Roy's Blues Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Here's the model kit from the main site http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models...armoredvf0s.htm Quote
