spanner Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Can't wait! Thanks Save for the pics! (More pics on the main page) This gerwalk shot looks crazy good! Gee I wouldn't want to wish my life away but id happily skip the next 4 weeks just to have this! Being horrendously impatient is not one of my strong points.. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Eh, that's another coat of paint in a different color. Probably a lot of money for as many units as they are making for slight different shade. Erm, no. There should be no white plastic nor paint at all---all plastic and paint should be light grey. The only pure white should be small tampos, like the UN spacy logo/name, and the chest-stripe. As tampos and spray-painting do not use the same paint/process, you can't "save money" by using the same color for both. Quote
Mommar Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Just got the NY pre-order notice... it begins. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Fiddling with the colors a bit, it is off in all 3 aspects---hue, shade, and saturation. Since "saturation" seems to be a foreign concept to either Arcadia or their factory-color-guy, I experimented with altering just the other two---as they have altered those before on the 0D. Making it lighter, and greener, comes acceptably close. It's too purple/red as it is now. (and too dark, obviously). This is intentionally "not perfect"---it's simply "1 click more green, 2 clicks lighter". Which even Arcadia seemed capable of, comparing their earlier changes. Quote

Which is due by the 23rd. Quote
NightCastle Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I believe he's confusing it for the pre-order notification. Which is due by the 23rd. Yeah. Sorry, it was very early in the morning. It was a payment for the pre-order request. Quote
spanner Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Ahh... oh well, guess I'll just keep waiting then. :/ Quote
Mommar Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 just do it!!! you know you want to! I love it. Corrupter of souls, this one. Quote

Valk-1S Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Cheapest I have seen for the VF-0D at Amazon JP for 31,757 Yen. But shipping will be more as need to use a forwarding agent. Only one in stock so the link might not show that price if someone already bought it. http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%9E%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B9%E3%82%BC%E3%83%AD-%E5%AE%8C%E5%85%A8%E5%A4%89%E5%BD%A2VF-0D-%E3%83%95%E3%82%A7%E3%83%8B%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B9-%E5%B7%A5%E8%97%A4%E3%82%B7%E3%83%B3-%E5%A1%97%E8%A3%85%E6%B8%88%E3%81%BF%E5%AE%8C%E6%88%90%E5%93%81/dp/B00OASXV04/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1423630971&sr=8-1&keywords=vf-0d Edit: NVM. Just noticed it was cheaper at NY. thought the prices were around HLJ pricing. Edited February 11, 2015 by Valk-1S Quote

ChaoticYeti Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 The disparity of that color between cameras is pretty amazing. Quote
DarrinG Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 There's no way this existed before the 1D - but its a beautiful looking bird . . . Quote

Reïvaj Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Is there anybody here that -after seeing the S/A are on their way- doesn't want to keep his pre order at Nippon-Yasan? I'd be interested in it... Quote

David Hingtgen Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Gyah, that's the worst-looking color yet. And sadly, that may be the most-accurate pic, considering the location/circumstances. Quote
brouken Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 https://twitter.com/Mrk_arcadia/status/566161282210877440 Now I'm really interested to see how the arms fold back into fighter mode. I don't see the pivoting connectors on the shoulders in this pic which allowed it to fold together in the Yamato 0S valk, or in the v.2 VF-1 for that matter. Quote
Brand-X Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 They're there as far as I can tell, take a look at the arm on the right side of the picture and then up and to the left of it, from camera's point of view. Quote
technoblue Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Here's a cropped version of the above picture with contrast and brightness adjustments that help to reveal both halves of the hinged piece. It looks like the rounded part of the hinge rests at an angle when the arm is locked in place: This is a little different than the VF-1 transformation. For the VF-1, the rounded part of the hinge rests at an angle when the arms are stowed away fighter mode. However, in battroid and gerwalk modes when the square half is folded out and locked in place to reveal the arms, that piece is lying flat. Someone else will have to verify if Arcadia's 0D set up is the same as Yamato's old VF-0 design. I don't have one of those on hand to compare. Edited February 13, 2015 by technoblue Quote

Dang, is that what they settled on? *sad* I would consider repainting the blue areas, but those faded wavy edges where blue meets white are going to be hard to do properly. Quote

chyll2 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) ^all VF seats rotate in the animation and mechanical illustration but it was never done in a toy so I do not know what you are referring to. edit: or maybe you are referring to the battroid parts that shows the seat gets released? Edited February 13, 2015 by chyll2 Quote
Chronocidal Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) The original VF-0 releases did have the seats rotate, along with the instrument panel. I don't imagine that'd really be very doable on the two-seater cockpit though. Haven't seen yet if the updated A/S still have the rotating seat. Edited February 13, 2015 by Chronocidal Quote
