I'd like a fixed version, but I'm wary of buying this and then Arcadia announcing a PF edition right after.
davidwhangchoi Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 (edited) i want to know the differences between the new redesigned legs vs. the original. Edited December 21, 2024 by davidwhangchoi
rsvictor1976 Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 (edited) Well, at least it comes with leg armor. Edited December 21, 2024 by rsvictor1976
nismoflip Posted December 22, 2024 Posted December 22, 2024 I’m getting one for sure. I missed the first release and Zero are my favorite valks, VF and SVs.
wsna Posted December 22, 2024 Posted December 22, 2024 I was lucky to get a hold of PF VF-0's. I am glad to hear that they are refining the VF-0 line. I wish Arcadia would be a bit more inventive. Didn't the Yamato VF-0A come with stickers for a "What if" VF-1 Wolf Pack? Tampo print that on molded grey and I'll be looking into Pre-orders. The Master File series always inspires a bit on squadron liveries but I haven't seen a version of VF-143 Pukin Dogs. On the Tomcat, it looks good either high or low viz...just sayin'
Mommar Posted December 23, 2024 Posted December 23, 2024 I gotta say that Battroid image really sells me on another one of these. But I want a PF version, unfortunately my eyesight makes carving decals with an xacto extremely difficult these days.

kkx Posted January 22 Posted January 22 missed the PO on this revised release. Anywhere I can get it now? BBTS is charging a lot for it.
Winterstar_343 Posted April 18 Posted April 18 (edited) So the "leg falls off if you look at it funny" thing eas more or less fixed with the VF-0S, yes? So theoretically that shouldn't be an issue with the upcoming VF-0A reissue. Were there any other glaring issues not addressed with the VF-0S "update"? Do the intakes tab in better on the VF-OS as compared to the orginal 0A? Edited April 18 by Winterstar_343
treatment Posted April 29 Posted April 29 0A reissue delayed to May/25, per hlj... https://www.hlj.com/1-60-scale-completely-transformed-vf-0a-phoenix-shin-kudo-boarding-machine-aca82167
Froy Posted April 29 Posted April 29 Wouldn't be surprised if it gets delayed a few months more. The Hikaru and Focker strike valks have been pushed till July and those have been in preorder for like a year(?).

The Hikaru and Focker strike valks have been pushed till July and those have been in preorder for like a year(?). Over a year since the original scheduled release date, about a year and a half since the preorders first opened. I thought that their recent offerings of new preorders like the VF-0 here was a good sign that they were over their production delays and ready to ship these, but I guess not. It's been what, three, going on closer to four years since they've actually released a figure at all?

rematron Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Just got this notice from HLJ. Maybe these are being released sooner than later? Release date says 5/20/2025…
treatment Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Yup. Confirmed on their website as well. Hope it doesn't get delayed again...
Phangry Posted May 19 Posted May 19 I just got charged for mine at HLJ. Glad to finally be able to get it in hand (soon).

Sanity is Optional Posted May 19 Posted May 19 Anime Export got mine, only $32 to ship via small packet to California. Hope the tariffs aren't too bad...
Angesdad Posted May 19 Posted May 19 Does anyone have recommendations for a decent third party waterslide decal to replace the sticker sheet it comes with?
betocc Posted May 19 Posted May 19 This one was announced after 1/60 VF1S Roy and Hikaru and it has been released before them, funny.

Hope the tariffs aren't too bad... I recently purchased and got delivered an order from AmiAmi by registered air small packet. No tariffs were charged. Country of origin marked as Japan even though the items were made in China. From what I've read, it appears many of the shops in Japan have been doing the same. At least as of now, the $800 de minimis exemption is still good for Japan and was only eliminated effective May 2 for packages from China/Hong Kong. Editing to add link with a list of shops of Japan and how they are listing the country of origin. Most are marked as Japan or left blank. https://myfigurecollection.net/thread/21030 Edited May 21 by WhatBoutMyStar

There should be a couple for the 0s. I think i tried them both over the years. Not the best, not the worst, definitely better than any stickers.
MKT Posted May 20 Posted May 20 Great news the 0A is out relatively on-time. The Vf-1S reissues still nowhere to be seen though, hopefully Arcadia gets past the final bumps soon and announce the other long delayed items.
daBlah! Posted May 20 Posted May 20 HobbySearch took payment for the 0A today so glad to see it'll be shipping soon.
davidwhangchoi Posted May 20 Posted May 20 any reviews yet? i'd like to see the changes that were mentioned by the waist/legs that the vf-0 armor is no longer compatible with this valk.
Froy Posted May 20 Posted May 20 2 copies still available at hlj https://www.hlj.com/1-60-scale-completely-transformed-vf-0a-phoenix-shin-kudo-boarding-machine-aca82167
Lolicon Posted May 20 Posted May 20 (edited) Just bought the last copy at HLJ with a coupon. I have the original 0A release but I wanted an updated copy that won't scratch the canopy during transformation and though the leg hasn't fallen off yet on my original, I'd prefer to have one where I don't have to worry about it all. I'm sure there will be additional restocks (it's already been in discontinued status and restocked at least once since release). UPDATE: And within minutes of this post, HLJ updated the 0A from "discontinued" to "restock in 3-5 days." Edited May 20 by Lolicon

I'm holding out for a premium edition or going to pass on it totally.
jenius Posted May 22 Posted May 22 Box looks exactly the same BUT it doesn't have the flip top lid any more.

davidwhangchoi Posted May 22 Posted May 22 i'm surprised no reviews are out. i guess no one cares about this.
Froy Posted May 22 Posted May 22 I think is a bit soon to get a proper review. Most of the toy reviewers in YT that get their hands on a Macross toy just for the likes just make a unboxing with some video takes with the birds displayed on a stand. It is going to take some time to get a review from some one like Wotafa or Jenius that do actually detailed reviews.
sh9000 Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Passed on this. My Arcadia 1st release is still in perfect condition and it can use the Reactive Armor. I bought a Yamato 1/60 VF-17S from Mandarake instead.
kkx Posted May 25 Posted May 25 I managed to get one from HLJ. But in the process, I notice that if I use the USD price listed by the website, I will pay over 65 USD more than the Yen price (including EMS shipping). My credit card exchange rate is nothing special, so HLJ's exchange rate is really bad.
