Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 The post with the photo of the open leg weapon bay seems to have disappeared. Can somebody please repost it. Thanks in advance. Graham Are you looking for this pic? Quote
Chronocidal Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Oh that's interesting.. the wing is dual layers. I didn't realize it before, but you can see the change in material colors between the sections along the back edge. Have to say, I like that much better than a simple panel over the top of the hardpoints on the upper surface. As far as ratchets go, I wouldn't expect much with the wings, but the VF-19's hip mounts were a quantum leap in quality over the old YF-19's, so I wouldn't be concerned about them getting floppy. They're still friction joints, but they're assembled in a way that gives you access to the screw, so you can at least tighten them yourself if they get loose. Also.. VF-0D, yes please, but I kind of doubt I would buy another VF-0S. Aside from a few changes in construction and materials, I really don't think they need a redesign that badly, since accuracy and looks were never a problem to begin with. I can think of a few ways they could be improved, but nothing nearly as dramatic as the YF-19's improvements. I'll anxiously await being proven wrong by the 0D though. Quote
Kyp Durron Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 VF-0D is the most likely possibility after YF-19, followed by all new VF-0S. Graham *Waits for V2 VF-0S* -Kyp Quote
Shaorin Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 *Waits for V2 VF-0S* -Kyp i wouldn't half mind one of those myself... Quote
David Hingtgen Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 I passed on all the 0's, waiting for a 0D. Quote
3D-Brainx Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 I missed the first run of 0s, so I'm in for both the 0S and 0D if they'll make them Quote
Reïvaj Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 [...] Arcadia: Ghost X-9 us already - It doesn't even transform. Simple and easy sell for us - Just don't mark it up to $400. [...] A Ghost X-9 toy wouldn't be a so basic if it included the ventral high-maneuverability missile launcher, super parts and the orbital booster. I guess it could end up being fairly expensive.

Valkyrie addict Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 I only got the VF-0S. If their v2 series is as good as the VF-4 and they finally make the Reactive Armor, I'll get them all! Quote
OmegaD3k Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 The old VF-0’s were the worst in terms of QC (all my Vf-0’s had explodey arms and loose swing bar pins – but they were Yamato’s first attempt at the 1/60 line, if I recall correctly), and it’s great to hear that there may be new versions being made after so many years. Quote
skullmilitia Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Totally down for a D! Not to continue the OT talk, I'm also waiting on the 19'! Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) The only 0 I have is the unknown soldier with the fixes that made it more stable. But I'd love to see more Zero releases. If they are going to do an 0S they will probably do an 0A color too haha. Edited July 25, 2013 by Gakken85 Quote
Kurisama Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Well, if the new VF-0D turns out to be too expensive - ppl with a bit of modelling know-how can still buy my kit to upgrade their old VF-0, and if there is never an official D variant, ppl can still get me kit - ha. Quote

Nope, the ver. 1 VF-1's where first. Chris Quote
Graham Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Are you looking for this pic?That's the one, cheers Regarding possible future toys, I'm only saying what I think is likely. Don't read too much into it. I have no contact with Acadia and the last time I had any meaningful contact with Yamato was when the VF-17S was first released, so a long time ago. Back to the YF-19, I'm guessing that at least some of the wing missiles can also be placed into the leg bay. That would be cool being able to swap out the leg bay weapon load. Graham Quote
IXTL Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 I have no contact with Acadia and the lady time I had any meaningful contact with Yamato was when the VF-17S was first released Lady time?? Damn... you and Yamato must have been much closer than I thought. Quote
Graham Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Haha, back in the day, we had our share of lady time, oh yes, the stories I could tell Graham Quote
Benbot Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 So how much information on this do you think we'll get on Sunday? Quote
skullmilitia Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Price, maybe final paint scheme, and a few more announcements. Obviously they have stuff planned, considering the Movie Roy was announced a month before Release. Might be some surprises left! Quote
raptormesh Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Actually I hope they pace themselves as not to dig themselves into another financial hole. Quote
EXO Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Who's going to Wonderfest? Possible prototype in color? Anyone taking pics next to that no photo sign? Quote
Reïvaj Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 It looks like there will be a painted prototype. 塗装している方から入電!! 「YF-19」の塗装が未だ途中です!! 納品は現地で!! …大丈夫か? 俺!? Quote
505thAirborne Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I passed on all the 0's, waiting for a 0D. VF-0D yes, VF-0B SPW a must!!! Quote
Shaorin Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Haha, back in the day, we had our share of lady time, oh yes, the stories I could tell Graham i presume you meant Lead Time? Quote
Reïvaj Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Not too far away from the pics we all want to see. Mr-K is takink good care of everything. Quote

AlphaOne Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) It's badass how arcadia and Mr. K. are using social media so much more than Yamato to show fans glimpses of what's to come. Yamato was pretty secretive. Edited July 27, 2013 by AlphaOne Quote
skullmilitia Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 If companies want to survive in the Social network age, they have to use it. It's a good sign they want to stay up to date with how free marketing works directly with their customer base. I still think they should release a 1:60 DIY kit, that includes A/J/S heads, and mold it in grey. Even if it was a web exclusive, I think a lot of people would buy those in pallets. Still hoping for some surprises, and maybe another re-issue announcement. Quote

Dobber Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I'd be really surprised if they had 2 NEW items in development. RE-issues though would be cool. Quote
