technoblue Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) Didn't somebody asked/inundated Mr.K about the VF-0D "blue" and the Armored VF-1J "grey goggles" repeatedly before? Yeah. His answers were really very clear and definitive on both back then... ! It can make for good entertainment, which can help pass the time, if you don't let it get to you. Back in the VF-0D thread, there were a number of people inundating Arcadia with color complaints, including reports of Tenjin contacting Arcadia himself! After discussing things with Tenjin, Arcadia finalized the 0D's "factory fresh" blue. IIRC, Japanese fans gave the updates a positive reception even thought our own Macross World reception was still mixed. BTW, I like mine. The GBP/VF-1J set was an interesting scenario. Mr. K originally noted that the release was going to have white goggles and that sent a bunch of us marching back into the color debates. Then, right before Arcadia's GBP set hit retail he noted that it had grey goggles. I wonder if Bandai's Hi-Metal R line encouraged them to change things? That would be a question for another thread, though. I think all of this goes to show that Mr. K can only reveal a certain amount of information that Arcadia deems "public" on services like Twitter, and sometimes that information can change. But fan speculation, for better or worse, seems to be a constant. Edited August 17, 2015 by technoblue Quote
no3Ljm Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Here's the thing now... I'm really liking the blue now as it is... But would I get disappointed if the color changes to grey upon release or not? Probably and maybe because I'm already planning to display it with the VF-0D together. But if it's going to be grey, then I'll be happy too. I'm still going to display it with VF-0D. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 I am alright with either color, but at the moment I am expecting the blue. It's gonna be pretty wtf if they end up shipping it with grey. Quote

It's gonna be pretty wtf if they end up shipping it with grey. yep same.. guess we're just gonna have to hold our breath till it finally hits eh! oh yeah and something completely unrelated.. I just noticed that your avatar blinks! cool! Here's the thing now... I'm really liking the blue now as it is... But would I get disappointed if the color changes to grey upon release or not?

Lorindor Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Haven't read this thread in a while and come back to see this new color debate. I've always thought Shin's 0A was white-ish with small red accents as a homage/nod to Hikaru's 1J. I don't see where they got blue from or how it would fit. Quote

Maybe you're misremembering/confusing Alto of Macross Frontier with Shin of Macross Zero. Shin's 0D valk was blue. Other than the UN Spacy kite, his 0A never had red accents. It actually has some "blue" accents in certain shots/angles. Even his original F14 was blue-ish. Only his helmet was reddish... Edited August 18, 2015 by treatment Quote
spanner Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 It's gonna be pinkish... hehe! shoosh you! don't give Arcadia ideas! Quote
Lorindor Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 His 0D was blue of course. But the red things at the nose and the red rings around the legs were the only splashes of color on the 0A that I've ever noticed. Though after some investigations, those seem to be standard on all VF-0. Quote

Whatever you do, don't look back at the last couple of pages. For now it's all nice and quiet and you don't wanna awaken the beast called "color choices" . Edited August 18, 2015 by wmkjr Quote
Gakken85 Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 In frame 307 of episode 2.. it's clearly darker. PO cancelled! Quote
Loop Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) The real question though is what did you think about the colors on frame 658 episode 3? Edited August 18, 2015 by Loop Quote
ArchieNov Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 No payment notifications yet from N-Y. I hope this thing is still releasing by end of the month. I grouped it together with the VF-27 CF and that will only ship along with this one... Quote
jvmacross Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Maybe they used up all the grey dye on the recent GBP VF-1J's visor... Quote

EDIT: No, I can't read my own e-mails correct anymore. I haven't received payment request yet either (and I'm not too broken up about it right now anyway.) Edited August 19, 2015 by Mommar Quote

Gakken85 Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 How long did it take the D to sell out after it was released? Quote
no3Ljm Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Accidentally posted this to YetiStand's thread. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ My hands is just itching to post on this thread. By the way, VF-0A is just around the corner. For those last minute preorders, here's some links: HLJ at Y31320 http://www.hlj.com/product/ACA82120/Sci Amiami at Y29700 http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-011500 How long did it take the D to sell out after it was released? Not sure though. Just making a guess here like 2 months at most. But as of now, only Amiami still has it for Y31400. Quote
Gakken85 Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Just asking because I cancelled mine as I'm going to Dragon*con in a few weeks. It's about the 5th largest nerd con in the country, I think. Paying out big cash for a hotel so I wanted to wait a few weeks. Quote

jenius Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 You might want to hold out as long as possible... maybe it will stick around until Black Friday. Quote
ArchieNov Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Is this still releasing at the end of the month? I'm starting to worry it'll be delayed... Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Tenjin himself is hand painting all of the markings on each valk. That is why it is taking so long. J/K I hope payment requests get sent out soon, but I am OK if there is a delay. Just give me a good defect-free valk. Quote
ArchieNov Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Yeah I guess. But I just wish they'd let us know soon if it was gonna be delayed rather than let the release date pass us by for us to conclude it was. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Yeah I guess. But I just wish they'd let us know soon if it was gonna be delayed rather than let the release date pass us by for us to conclude it was. I agree. I also like it when companies come out and say "we apologize for the delay, but X isn't fitting into Y like it should", or "X crumbles when looked at. Expect a delay". Pretty rare to see, but appreciated. Let us know what is going on. Quote

Gakken85 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 They actually want to stay in business this time Why can't they cut stencils that you can apply to the plane and paint yourself? Seems like it would be cheap and appeal to the hobby fan. And you could customize the colors. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 I'm so excited for the vf0a Ditto. They are the bridge from conventional to variable fighters. Quote
Lolicon Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 I'd be happy if they would include a sheet of waterslide decals. Considering how expensive this thing already is, I don't think tacking on a couple hundred yen to cover the price of a decal sheet is going to alter anyone's buying decision. Quote
Tochiro Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Pics of the packaging for the upcoming VF-0A from Arcadia's Twitter feed. Quote
Garfinkel Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Look at the top left of the open box. Alternate parts to allow the attachment of existing ghost boosters. Quote
