Guest davidwhangchoi Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 noel did you get the scratch out? Quote
no3Ljm Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Well, Mr. K in a tweet said the chest pieces were designed for the armor, the fact that the ghost and its pieces somewhat fit is just a "gimmick" But yea they shouldnt have shown those initial pics with the ghost. That's true. But the thing is, the pegs are already there. I mean, they could just use the existing peg sizes for the old Yamato Ghost Boosters and go from there. Then the only problem we have is the squeezing of the Ghost canards and not the pegs of the pods, right? Then they should have work around with that size too and implement it on the VF-0 and the upcoming Reactive Armor. Oh well... it's already out there so all we got to do is adjust the pegs. Hehehe. noel did you get the scratch out? Hey David. Not yet sir. Haven't tried it. Been busy with some stuff. What I did for now is remove the canopy during Battroid mode. By the way, the toothpaste we have is a colored one. Should I use a white instead of mint green / fresh blue toothpaste? Edited January 13, 2016 by no3ljm Quote

So any 'flavors' is ok. Thanks. Hopefully I can do it over the weekend while watching Harry Potter with my 6 yr old son. He's into it right now. I remember you mentioned like 5 hours with break so that's 2 Harry Potter movies. Quote

Lolicon Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Broke down and picked up another 0S. She's just too lovely to have only one. Quote
seti88 Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Broke down and picked up another 0S. She's just too lovely to have only one. Will just take a guess and ask if it was the damaged box listing from ami.. if you dont mind me asking that is... Quote
spanner Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Ok. Will take note and will let you know if the colored toothpaste is good. Thanks. I just remembered that I once used toothpaste (the whole tube!) to clean off all the cloudy crap of the head lights of a car I had and it worked at treat! Quote
Lolicon Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Will just take a guess and ask if it was the damaged box listing from ami.. if you dont mind me asking that is... Yup! Price + shipping was less than the HLJ price, so it forced my hand early. Was originally going to just get one with my VF-4 orders next month from them. Quote

Now, the only thing to look out for is how bad the damaged box is....hopefully nothing too bad ....i went the slow route, so can only check in few weeks time... Quote
jenius Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Video review is up and post on the site is updated! Quote
spanner Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Cool! will go watch review now! Nice photo too! Video review is up and post on the site is updated! Quote
Universe1010 Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Video review is up and post on the site is updated! thanks can you post a link to the transformation video Quote
jenius Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Unfortunately the in laws have arrived so the transformation will have to wait for next week. Quote
Viiof Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Well I caved. I wasn't going to pick this one up, but all the pictures you guys were posting made it look better and better D: Quote
derex3592 Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Transformation from fighter to Gerwalk to Battroid last night finally. Man, this thing is rock solid. Covered the canopy with Tamiya tape JIC, but no problems with anything else. I must say, you can really feel and see the quality in this one. More tampo would have been nice, but overall there is actually quite a bit of extremely nice painted on detail once you start to really look at it. Good job Arcadia. Overalls A + on this one from me. One tiny nitpick is the pilot is not snug enough in his seat. He flops around in the cockpit. Edited January 16, 2016 by derex3592 Quote
Lorindor Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) The only quality issues I've noticed with my 0A and 0S have to do with the cockpit. That the pilot doesn't sit well in the seat is annoying, but worse is that I always have problem with the seat's flip back mechanism. On my A when I tried it, the flight control piece broke off and I had to glue it back on. Later with my 0S, the seat just did not budge and I was then obviously afraid to use too much force. :-/ Edited January 16, 2016 by Lorindor Quote

Also I use a tiny little square of double sided tape on the pilots behind to keep him in place. Edited January 16, 2016 by spanner76 Quote
Raptor One Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 I must say, the 0D colour has grown on me a little. Maybe I'll try to pick one up after all Quote
GabrielV Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Got my shipping notice for my VF-0A today! I honestly wanted the VF-0D more, but I can't seem to catch a break on that one. Quote
Sandman Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Finally got a chance to transform my Vf-0A from battroid mode and yup, cockpit window is scratched. Not as bad as some other member's 0As but scratched nevertheless. I can't believe Arcadia didn't notice this in QC. My faith in Arcadia is wavering. Every release has something wrong or stupidly omitted. They are no where near as competent as Yamato was in their last few years. Quote
no3Ljm Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 I know I said before that I prefer the grey Ghost on the VF-0A. But I still went and bought the blue one last week for a good price. And it kinda looks way better than the grey one. Any comments? Thanks! Quote
derex3592 Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Blue for the win. Wish I had picked one up years ago. Quote
derex3592 Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 1 Focker is good, 2 or 3 Fockers is just better.... Quote
Moosey Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Love the panel lining on the VF-1 derex. Quote
kajnrig Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Wow. I never realized how small the VF-1 really is. (Unless it's a different scale, but that doesn't seem to be the case.) Nice collection. Even the YF-29 looks goodish. Must be the skull and crossbones. Quote
derex3592 Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 They are all supposedly 1/60. Jenius can chime in with the true actual scales I'm sure. Quote
mechaninac Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Wow. I never realized how small the VF-1 really is. (Unless it's a different scale, but that doesn't seem to be the case.) Nice collection. Even the YF-29 looks goodish. Must be the skull and crossbones. Think F-16 parked next to a F-15 and you get a pretty good idea of how the VF-1 compares, size wise, to most other VFs. Edited January 18, 2016 by mechaninac Quote
no3Ljm Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Beautiful shots Noel! Thanks Spanner! So are you more on the blue ghost or grey ghost? Hehehe. I like the blue one better Blue for the win. Wish I had picked one up years ago. it blue me away..ahem... Thanks guys! I'm leaning towards the blue ghost too. Now I have to think if I'm going to sell my extra grey ghost. Hehehe. 1 Focker is good, 2 or 3 Fockers is just better.... Nice Focker valks, derex. Wow. I never realized how small the VF-1 really is. (Unless it's a different scale, but that doesn't seem to be the case.) Nice collection. Even the YF-29 looks goodish. Must be the skull and crossbones. Agree. Even before I'm so amazed how big the other valks esp the VF-0's to VF-1's. Then I check the sizes online (mecha size) and it really shows that VF-1 are just small. Hehehe. In fighter mode, VF-1's length is 14.23m. While VF-0's length is 18.69m. That being said, the VF-0 is almost has the same length size of an actual F-14. Edited January 18, 2016 by no3ljm Quote
