close313 Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Uploaded to photobucket edit: did not upload the range of the hips since I find nothing amusing there. The range is still limited to the design since the intake will always hit the fuselage If you guys noticed, there's nothing connecting the legs to the body Must be overtechnology Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 If you guys noticed, there's nothing connecting the legs to the body Must be overtechnology I see the swing bar. Quote
Gakken85 Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Loving the diecast content. It's needed in the right places. The VF-0 has always been a bit roomy in the hips. Quote
treatment Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 hlj and arcadia are possibly specifically keeping the 0D off the potential BF stuff. They prolly will re-open the PO after BF or after the holiday season... Quote
jenius Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 That'd be silly since they could easily control that without pulling the item. Quote
treatment Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 HLJ will prolly offer you guys the Tux Valk on BF instead. They're still trying to move that, uhmm, thing out of their inventory... Quote
skullmilitia Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 The hips on the newest test shot look worthless, one way they hit the chest, the other way they hit The back pack.. Am I missing something? Quote
jenius Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 They pivot in and out, otherwise you use the GERWALK joint. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 I use the gerwalk joint for poses on my valks quite a bit. I'd imagine the VF-0D will be no different. Quote
Froy Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) deadline to pre order is 11/20 So, maybe no BF discount on HLJ? Pre Orders still open on NY though. Edited November 18, 2014 by Froy Quote
neoexcaliber Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Damn. I was still contemplating this but both NY and HLJ have closed their PO. Arghh. Quote
Vi-RS Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 I think there are other die cast contents in the canopy and elbow in silver color. Quote
treatment Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Damn. I was still contemplating this but both NY and HLJ have closed their PO. Arghh. Other regular import stores still have their PO open for the 0D. Quote
abbadon Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Diecast shoulder joints. Keeps getting better. I like these new updates. I guess it is made to order. Quote
eggy99 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 No VF-0D for me too. I was counting on HLJ BF sale to bring the price down to a level I could afford. Ahh well. The up side is I have some sweet VF-0D savings to allocate to something else (Bandai please announce Metal Build Strike Freedom - ). I will have to look at everyone elses' VF-0D when it is released and bask the glory of pictures here. Quote
Gakken85 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Yeah, I see no calculations for Black Friday. HLJ is like the only Japanese site that does that. I think what you're seeing is their allotment is gone and you'll see some cancels come up. Unless they ask for more. I'm glad I got my two in. Expensive for two but I think I'll enjoy it. And honestly as cheap as the Yen is right now...the BF discount would be nice but it's not a make or break. Edited November 19, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote
Tochiro Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Some pics from Save.http://www.macrossworld.com/miyazawa-mokkei-autumn-showcase-2014/ Quote
sreichma Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) My prediction from months ago stands. It will only have the same tampo as the old Zero line did. Upper/Lower Intake and a kit on the wing. The rest will be stickers including the kit on the nose, rescue, etc. I think Arcadia/Yamato has telegraphed and communicated clearly across every release that they see Tampo as a minimal concern and chose to go stickers vs Tampo. It's obviously not something they maintain a high priority on as the ejection warning was missed on the 1-S Arcadia release and the skulls were crooked on some. It's great engineering, but Stickers and a $310 price is a pass for me. I know it will look great though in the collections of others, I can't wait to see in hand pics from everyone. If you dig the 0-D it is a buy for sure. Of course, I will cave and buy it anyway on a pre order because I am addicted. Edited November 19, 2014 by sreichma Quote
jorawar_b Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Man I just went to see if I could preorder, HLJ just stopped pre orders, is there any other site anyone could recomend? Quote
jorawar_b Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 thanks how are they with there service? I have always ordered for HLJ Quote
mechaninac Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 ^ AmiAmi aren't anywhere near as accommodating as HLJ. As a matter of fact, when it comes to Macross merchandize of any kind, nobody beats HLJ in customer service. AmiAmi, on the other hand, actually include a postcard with their shipments that pretty much reads as Caveat Emptor. Quote
jenius Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I hope the hips don't scratch the paint off the diecast parts right in front of them. Quote
myk Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I haven't purchased a variable fighter since the '21, but I must have the '0D; preorder is now in... Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Tried to see if HLJ has pre-orders up for and they are doing maintanence on the whole site. Cause after seeing Saves photos of the 0D I want it too, Damn you Save now I gotta make more room. Edited November 20, 2014 by VF-18S Hornet Quote
Pedro2k6 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Tried to see if HLJ has pre-orders up for and they are doing maintanence on the whole site. Cause after seeing Saves photos of the 0D I want it too, Damn you Save now I gotta make more room. IIRC HLJ Close PO yesterday. I think is still available on AMIAMI Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Yaeh I got it pre-ordered at Amiami when I could not get into HLJ, their server is still on maintanence. Manage to snag a pre-order for a Orchid Seed Figure there too. Edited November 21, 2014 by VF-18S Hornet Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Looks like I missed it. Was hoping to get this off hlj and forggot to keep checking in here for news on this. Congrats to those who got the po in time. edit: ended up just caving and getting from ami ami. Hopefully these guys are reliable as this is my first time trying them. Edited November 21, 2014 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote
Falcon18 Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Amiami is fine if you have no problems with the item. Ordered my VF-1S and YF-19 and both came with no issues. Shipping will be more though as compared to hlj. If you have a problem however, their customer service may be questionable as some people here have experienced. So there's that. Quote
gunbuster76 Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) has anyone ordered from anime export. i'm a bit hesitant. i've read bad things. but no first hand accounts. Edited November 21, 2014 by gunbuster76 Quote
xrentonx Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Lots have and your mileage may vary. I've had a some orders with them and haven't had a problem yet. This also means I don't know how they would handle customer service issues... Quote
Pedro2k6 Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 has anyone ordered from anime export. i'm a bit hesitant. i've read bad things. but no first hand accounts. 2 ordered with them a no problems....fast shipping Quote
