Offswitch Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 @Jenius: Started reading a lot of your reviews recently and I'm a big fan of your videos, so I'm glad you got the leg all fixed. Can wait to see your coverage of the VF-0D Quote
Gakken85 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 That sucks. Hope I don't have to mail mine back haha Quote
jenius Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Not terribly surprising but HLJ says that they can't do anything for me. If they were an American store allowed to sell the product I'd haggle a bit with them or try to get an exchange but as it is, I guess I should just be happy I was able to get it all back together.

derex3592 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 That stinks. Can't wait to hear your review on all this. Also, as a side note, thanks for all your reviews over the years, I just yesterday went back and watched 3 transformation videos for Valks I hadn't transformed in a long time. Nice to have. Quote
Moosey Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) It is. Was tumbling around the box before I opened it. Not too pleased about that. But it is a lovely thing this Valk. Solid isn't the word! Anyway after a bit of swooshing and reorganising she's parked in the detolf. This particular shelf is entitled "WINGSPAN"! Panel lining may occur later this week if I can summon the courage. Edited March 16, 2015 by Moosey Quote

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 i had too inspect them, the recent damage reports got me scared.. Quote
jvmacross Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 But, if they were to pass onto each consecutive owner through the millennia as MIBMISSB, would it have matter if they were damaged? Eventually, they would have crumbled anyway.....it already happens to some of these toys out of the box! Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 It's ok. He probably steamed the packing tape just enough to remove it, but keep the cardboard immaculate. He obviously has OEM tape to repack the boxes...right?...RIGHT!? Quote
Moosey Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 I'll assume you're reffering to David not me!? Quote

Loop Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Hey guys, with any of the bigger valk releases they tend to just use the original Arcadia box for shipping. I got the same with my YF-19's, and should have this time around. Something weird happened when I added both of them from my PW to ship. I selected add everything, but it only added one. Once I realized what happened it was too late and I had to send the second one separate.. I found that if you were ordering these back in the Yamato days, with the right quantity they would do the same. Kevin tends to always sell off case fresh valks, he was reselling for a while back in the day when Valkyrie Exchange was still running. With that said, I am willing to let go of some of my Mint Arcadia/Yamato shipper boxes for a whopping low $200 each. Quote
spanner Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 The good. The bad. that totally sucks for sure.. quite strange and very disappointing.. Were you able to do anything with it or is it actually broken? have or will you get in contact with NY and see what your options are with them? Quote
Mommar Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 that totally sucks for sure.. quite strange and very disappointing.. Were you able to do anything with it or is it actually broken? have or will you get in contact with NY and see what your options are with them? That's an odd piece to break. It looks like whoever was working at the factory snapped it off and said "f**k it", threw it in there and packaged it up. Quote
Carceroth Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Ok so i made this account to post this question. But i have been lurking here for quite some time now. My VF-0D has a problem. The ankle on the left leg will not extend without herculean effort. I basically have only gotten it to extend twice and the first time left literal blisters on my fingers. Is there a method or fix i can use to maybe make this a bit smoother? Cause i love the toy but its ungodly frustrating to try and have to exert all my strength to have to extend a freaking part and for fear of breaking it each time i try. I will say to its credit it has endured more than any other toy i own has and with minuscule damage to show for it. None of my bandai toys would survive that (then again none of them would require that much strength to transform either). Edited March 18, 2015 by Carceroth Quote
lancalot Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Wooohooo my VF0d finally arrived !! ... i think they did the blue very close to the cartoon .... don't know why everyone all trouble about it... it looks navey in some pic but it actually a dull blue ...so i like it... everything all solid and fine with mine ...no loose parts or anything , and all tab together nicely .... wish they included a stand as that would have been great ... now have to found a place to put it cause i don't have any spare stands...

lancalot Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 cool that the missile fits from the vf0a and the tab does come off...i have to check later if the drone fit on top ...lol Quote

It looks like whoever was working at the factory snapped it off and said "f**k it", threw it in there and packaged it up. yeah I'd say that's more than likely what happened.. obviously didn't want to let his supervisor know he'd broken one so he just chucked it in there..

Hey, you're the first one to fold the wings correct in Gerwalk! Well, other than me, but I haven't posted any pics so it doesn't count. When I finally finish decals one of these days I'll photograph it. Quote

Were you able to do anything with it or is it actually broken? have or will you get in contact with NY and see what your options are with them? It is very disappointing alright. Kinda took the edge off it's arrival. It is broken alright, plastic has snapped. I just put it back in it's recess and it stays there while sitting on the flightpose. I have opened a ticket with NY, they said they will get in contact with Arcadia, which basically means I'll get stiffed since they won't be interested in a toy in the UK. That's an odd piece to break. It looks like whoever was working at the factory snapped it off and said "f**k it", threw it in there and packaged it up. It really does. Quote
calubin_175 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Lancelot, the same seller in Brisbane is sending my VF-0D soon. Quote

Golden Arms Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 The VF-0D is back in stock at HLJ for those that missed it. Quote

Just as soon as I can get some freetime in daylight to do it. I'm already delinquent on my review due to travel, illness and apathy. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 anyone like battroid as their favorite mode? Quote
derex3592 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I definitely don't hate it....and it does save a ton of shelf space! Quote
Moosey Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 man that sux hard... hopefully they sort it out for you ..... Thanks. Hope so too. Quote
