David Hingtgen Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 So I just dug out some missiles from my 1/60v2 VF-1's and they do not fit. The pegs on those are 2.2mm while the pegs on the 0D missile pods are 1.9mm. Way to go Arcadia. When are you releasing the $100.00 extra weapons pack..... Only enough for two hardpoints each wing. So it's the pointless opposite to their YF-19. The YF-19 came with TONS of ordnance that was never seen nor used onscreen, nor did we see such equipment used by any other member of the -19 family. But had enough of it to load the valk up 3x over. Yet the 0D, is lacking much of the "Zero" equipment seen on-screen throughout the OVA (the "bronze" gunpods, triple-missile racks, etc), and doesn't have enough remaining weaponry to even fill up the existing hardpoints. Yeesh Arcadia. It's one thing to buy a $300 -19 and get some extra weapons you don't want. It's another to charge $300 for a 0D and not include just 2 more single missiles to fill up the last hardpoints. Hoping for a 0C or non-canon "neat-looking 0A" at this point, for a full weapons/ghost pack. (or, you know, an "anime-colored Shin with full weapons-pack" release of the 0D) Quote
UN Spacy Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Not sure what I can cover in my review that VEEF hasn't already touched upon. LOL. Quote
Mechamaniac Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Don't need a missile pack. We got enough missiles to last the next 5 releases with the 19 That's great....IF you have a 19. I don't so.... Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I'd think it would be an easy fix to just drill the holes out further. The peg isn't what holds the missiles on anyway, it's the hooked edges of the pylons, so it shouldn't have much of an effect on the missiles it comes with. Has anyone tried the old v.1 VF-0 missiles to see if they fit better? Quote
Nightingale Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Lots of great pics here, thought I would share mine [ WOOSH! Quote
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 My toy just arrived! I love the detailing in the cockpit. Quote
wmkjr Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) The old zero's weapons fit. Edit: Nevermind. I'll add this. Edited March 5, 2015 by wmkjr Quote
CF18 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Fighter mode - anyone managed to get all the tabs around the lower leg to line up and latch? There are wing-to-leg, leg-to-backpack, leg-to-arms, and body-to-leg tabs. In my unit I found it impossible to fit all the tabs, and best to leave the backpack out of the tab puzzle if I want to keep the gun straight. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Don't need a missile pack. We got enough missiles to last the next 5 releases with the 19 Sorry, but missiles that are top-of-the-line in 2040, are not going to look right in 2009. It'd be like putting AMRAAM's and laser-guided-smart-bombs on a P-51 Mustang. Especially since the VF-0's weaponry is already well-established. (and half of which wasn't included at all with the 0D release). It needs some of these: Some of these: And more of these: Quote

In my unit I found it impossible to fit all the tabs, and best to leave the backpack out of the tab puzzle if I want to keep the gun straight. Make sure the legs are retracted all the way in. I had the same problem with tabs not lining up at first and it's kind of tough to judge if it won't go any further with everything being so tight. Quote
anubis20 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Well i finally got mine.. Mine had a scratch out of the box, didnt even get a chance to tape The feet were not hard at all to pull out on my copy. Aside from the scratch im loving it! Gerwalk mode wins on this one. Quote
Scream Man Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 What missiles does it use on screen? The only time I dimly remember it being armed up is when it lands on the beach when escorting the helicopter in episode... 3? Quote
anubis20 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Ok i couldnt resist and had to go to battroid mode... Quote
derex3592 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Stiiiiiill waiting.. .I'm sure the bad weather in the midwest and hear in DFW has something to do with it . Maybe tomorrow! Quote
David Hingtgen Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 What missiles does it use on screen? The only time I dimly remember it being armed up is when it lands on the beach when escorting the helicopter in episode... 3? We know what the VF-0A/S carries and uses. If anything, the VF-0D has an even greater variety that it can use, being a two-seat delta-winged variant. The 0D can surely use everything the 0A can, if not more Question for anybody who knows---is there any canon line-art etc, showing the VF-0D's hardpoints? Knowing Kawamori's like of the F-16XL, and the XL's reason for existence/hardpoint design--the 0D should likely "officially" actually have many many hardpoints, far more than Arcadia put on. FYI, the F-16XL has no less than 27 hardpoints, compared to a normal F-16's 9 hardpoints. Cuz Delta wings allow for front-to-back loading: For doubling the wing's size, the 0D should certainly gain more than just 1 hardpoint per wing vs the 0A/S. Quote
Omegablue Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I want to get it, but I'm scared the blue paint will chip/scratch off through transformations. Quote
promethuem5 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Sorry, but missiles that are top-of-the-line in 2040, are not going to look right in 2009.

(and half of which wasn't included at all with the 0D release). It's a fictional toy airplane robot armed with fictional missiles, chief. Pretty sure I can put any missiles I want on there. Quote
VF5SS Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 And more of these: Please don't edit CollectionDX photos without giving proper credit. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Please don't edit CollectionDX photos without giving proper credit. You know, I came *this* close to giving it a credit byline. I was going to say "credit to veef"---but what exactly would be preferred? (And I did search a while for an alternative, but after 15 mins, gave up and swiped yours---has NO ONE else photographed the accessories? Was hoping I could find an official pic from Arcadia) (would have preferred a pic of just that missile, then I could link back to your review and give you a few hits!) Quote
wmkjr Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 That'd be cool if they could make a Master files weapons load pack. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Well i finally got mine..

Gerwalk mode wins on this one. i was going to joke you're going to put tamiya tape and wear white gloves. sucks, looks like the factory scraped it during testing. Quote

David Hingtgen Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 What would be preferred is not to crop our logo out of the photo. The vast majority of the pic is not what I need a pic of. I need a pic of the AMRAAM-ish missile, and it alone. Or should I have posted this?: Quote
Mechamaniac Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Point made guys. Move along or take it to PM. Quote
Omegablue Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Please don't edit CollectionDX photos without giving proper credit. LOL, it's just a picture of a little piece of plastic. No one is going to die from it. Quote
Gakken85 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Hands down I love this VF-0D, its not floppy, super tight joints, everything locks in place and the added Die-cast metal gives it that extra balancing weight, even the hands hold the Gunpod nice & secure. If you haven't ordered one yet.... Do it!! Dat GERWALK with the wings up!! Me like. The old zero's weapons fit. Edit: Nevermind. I'll add this. Great pics Edited March 6, 2015 by Gakken85 Quote

Oh yeah, I agree and i think she's light on missiles as well, I just wondered what was screen accurate. I mean earlier you were commeting on how the 19 came with a tonne that weren't, so I was going for a comparison Quote
Scream Man Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 You know I just realised that there are several stickers missing that should be included. Right off the bat there are no nose numbers in one sheet, only pieces to make em up. also there are some vertical stripes on the tail missing. Good thing I still have my old Zero sheets... Quote
Moosey Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Mine's still in Osaka. Grrrrrrrr, all these pics make me wanna fondle mine for real!! Nice pics though guys. Although I'm pretty sure mine will displayed in fighter mode I gotta say it looks epic in Gerwalk Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Dat GERWALK with the wings up!! Me like. Great pics It's my favorite mode of the 0D! And after seeing all these Yeti stands, I need save up and get some! Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 The YF-19 also came with a few dual (maybe single?) AMRAAM style missiles that might work well on there. Quote
