arbit Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) agree with your points except the sticker sheet. the stickersheet is not a indicator whether something is tampo'd or not. all the past stickersheets had un spacy decals along with other decals that were tampo'd on. so that wouldn't be modified regardless if arcadia decided to add tampos. (though the point is correct there aren't u.n. spacy tampos but there are red stripes around the head lasers) I wouldn't even put stickers on my cheap, amateurishly-finished models, much less on these bad boys.

VX31 Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) File is updated. Please feel free to order. You will need to make sure you cut the nubs cleanly off of the tree. https://www.shapeways.com/product/83TU2TAE2/arcadia-zero-hip-nub Thank you for the URL these will be 'just in case' for my 0D, 0A, and (hopefully not to be used) 0S.

ErikElvis Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Thank you for the URL these will be 'just in case' for my 0D, 0A, and (hopefully not to be used) 0S. I appreciate it as well. Ordered a set but hopefully won't have to use them. I have 3 OD's and 2 OA's that I have never transformed to battroid out of fear. Quote
Foblander Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Hello all! I can't wait for it to be released! As I got closer to my 30s I stopped collecting toys altogether and started focusing on only buying functional items, but I decided to drop by on my birthday (12/9) and see what was new on MWF and that's when I found out Yamato no exist. Thankfully Arcadia will pick up where Yamato left off. The new VF-0 toys are so beautiful I couldn't help but preorder the VF-0S when I saw the pictures. Besides the VF-1 design, I've always loved the VF-0 design. ^^ I'm hoping the wife won't be to upset when the charges hit. lol Quote

Moosey Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 hey you have to treat yourself a little sometimes! The VF-0S is going to be a beautiful thing! It is a beautiful thing, hopefully it's not an exploding beautiful thing! Quote
Xigfrid Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 It can be an exploding beauty, chaosyeti's fix would fix it stronger! Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Not sure if this is old news. Just checked on my NY pre-order, and they currently have it set for release on Dec 25th. Quote
Saburo Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Not sure if this is old news. Just checked on my NY pre-order, and they currently have it set for release on Dec 25th. Just paid for my PO, hopefully it arrives before the end of year. This will be the last Valk for 2015. Quote
arbit Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) File is updated. Please feel free to order. You will need to make sure you cut the nubs cleanly off of the tree. https://www.shapeways.com/product/83TU2TAE2/arcadia-zero-hip-nub Hi Yeti.On your video instructions, I understood that the thigh part has to be cut open, not just plied apart. Could you clarify wich tools were used and how you went about it? I believe the video just showed the end result with the parts separated off camera. As release nears, Im not too confident I won't mess this up. I normally just avoid transforming questionable releases. No way was I going to hammer away at the Yammie for the vf-1 shoulder replacements. But this looks like a fix I could do. Edited December 16, 2015 by arbit Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) I had already broke the pins by the time I did the video. The video is the 4th, or 5th time opening that thigh open. I think the pins would fail before damaging anything else, but if you want to go the extra step, just get a thin hobby knife in there and cut the pins. Edit: Just to re-iterate, I am suggesting the nubs as a repair to fix the leg if it has the issue of not staying on. If your leg is fine, do the "upgrade" at your own risk.

spanner Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Just paid for my PO, hopefully it arrives before the end of year. This will be the last Valk for 2015. im doubting I'll get mine before the new year as most of the services here shut down for a few days over xmas so im guessing they'll arrive in the 1st to 2nd week of Jan..

Ignacio Ocamica Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Same here!! I opted EMS shipping but it will take two weeks to arrive! Quote
neoexcaliber Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 The VF-0A is 30% off at HLJ! http://www.hlj.com/product/ACA82120/Sci Quote

Sandman Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 I don't think anyone does with the chance for a bad one. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 I am in no way a video reviewer, but I plan to do a VF-0S unboxing and transformation video just in case mine has hip issues. As far as I know no one has caught it on video. I really hope the issue is resolved, though, first and foremost. Quote
locidm Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 crap! i bought it during black friday deal Quote
jenius Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 The VF-0A is 30% off at HLJ! http://www.hlj.com/product/ACA82120/Sci I'm tempted to buy it and then say "it came with a leg that fell off" and see if they remember my claim from earlier Quote
seti88 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 I'm tempted to buy it and then say "it came with a leg that fell off" and see if they remember my claim from earlier would the 10 day return policy work even with sale items? Am tempted to get another at that price, plus it might be possible to get one without the bum leg via return.. Alas am saving for the 0S.... Quote
spanner Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 if the VF-0S went on sale with a reasonable discount then I'd definitely pick up a 3rd one! Quote

Am tempted to get another at that price, plus it might be possible to get one without the bum leg via return.. Alas am saving for the 0S.... I would imagine so and it's still a reasonably high ticket item so it's not like shipping costs would make it futile. Quote
treatment Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 The VF-0A is 30% off at HLJ! http://www.hlj.com/product/ACA82120/Sci Wish hlj just gone a bit more crazy and put it at the 15k-yen mark instead, so I can feel a bit better justifying of getting it even with the hip-joints issue... Quote
mickyg Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 30% is great! But it's still $278 (AUD) according to the HLJ built in currency exchange rate. Tempting but still not tempting enough.Just can't get out of my head how our dollar has dropped so much compared to the USD in such a short amount of time. It's probably the same for the YEN against the USD though. So chances are, this would still have stung in the AUD heyday. Quote

kajnrig Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Hey guys, kind of an off-topic question, but: I'm working on the 1/72 Hasegawa VF-0 battroid kit and may have bent the front nose spike/boom (pitot tube?). When the VF-0 transforms to battroid mode on the Yamcadia toys, does that spike/boom/tube fold backwards? And if so, does it sit flush with the underbelly of the forward fuselage (as I currently have it), or does it jut out at an angle (as I assume it should be)? Thanks! Quote
seti88 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Can anyone translate MrK 's tweet? と言う事で帰ります。 明日は0Sの出荷があるのでガンバろう。 コンゴトモヨロシク～！ Not sure what bing or google translate meant...is the 0S shipping tmr? Quote
Scyla Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Hm maybe I should cancel my VF-0S preorder and wait for a 30% discount on it. Hm... ...this sound similar. Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 I had no idea that 0S was on pre-order, just placed my order on hlj, though it looks like I may have box up my two 22S's to make room, or maybe one. Quote
Foblander Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 The VF-0A is 30% off at HLJ! http://www.hlj.com/product/ACA82120/Sci Sigh no longer in sale for 30% off Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 At the time of this post, Yes it is lol Quote
