wm cheng Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Funny, I think that plastic colour is closer to what the colour should be instead of the one that is painted way too light. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Funny, I think that plastic colour is closer to what the colour should be instead of the one that is painted way too light. Couldn't agree more!!! If it's close enough it's fine in my book, but in this case the colors previously shown are too light/pastel looking. We'll see how it ends up looking. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Can't agree more!!! the paint is great looking as it is. not sure if you're into the plastic color but the lighter color rules! Quote
David Hingtgen Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 It is just whatever plastic was there to be shot into the mold. The painted sample from previous pages is a better indication of their color target. And we all know how close their final plastic comes to their earlier painted samples. Quote
Offswitch Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Too much Vaseline. PO cancelled. LOL, I'm thinking Mr.K is a bit too into his valks. Seriously tho, I wonder what he uses that for... Maybe even in the prototype stage the joints are too tight, haha Quote
Garfinkel Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 I am curious what missiles will come with this. The pictures shown on hlj show two groups of three on each wing in one of the photos and nothing on any of the others. I hope there will be extra missiles, for variety and to load up the third hard point on the D Quote
Offswitch Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 The only mention of missiles in the description on the seller sites is "medium-range air-to-air missile" which is the group of three missiles you're talking about. I wouldn't be surprised if that's all they include if the VF-0D is any indication. As much as I love my 0D, man, they were stingy with the accessories. Quote
Chronocidal Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 The only missiles that ever came with the original were the four clusters of three, so I wouldn't expect more really.. That's all that we saw it carry anyway. Now, given the era that aircraft came from, there are a massive amount of things you could mount on it (modern day A/A or A/G weapons would fit nicely). I believe some may have been made available on Shapeways in the past, but I can't recall for sure. No reason they couldn't be made now though. Quote

Mommar Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) There's so many nuanced things that come together to make this new 0A look much, much better. I kinda want two now. Edited May 14, 2015 by Mommar Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) thats a lot of blue for shin's valk. they seem to be interpreting the darker greys as blues. i like the painted proto scheme people are preordering based off of more than the current one. from mmm Edited May 14, 2015 by Mechapilot77 Quote
barurutor Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 probably just reusing VF-0D parts as mentioned in previous posts. Quote
Kyp Durron Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 probably just reusing VF-0D parts as mentioned in previous posts. No probably to it, they are. Quote

Gakken85 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 nice! cant wait to see a painted version. I have 2 on order. Quote
xrentonx Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) Love that SD pic Wish other toy manufacturers could be as playful with their prototype toys. Imagine that! Edited May 14, 2015 by xrentonx Quote
Loop Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Headpilot ROFL, that will never die! Poor guy will always have to live with it around these parts. Quote
Jasonc Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 It's starting to look like a real winner here. While I haven't kept up all 22 pages (except the last couple), anyone see any parts yet that might be issues, even repeats of issues from the ver. 1? Quote
wmkjr Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Maybe not Version 1 issues but looks like they're using the same OD arms with the gunpod holder farther back preventing the tail hook from lowering with the gunpod attached (unless I'm doing something wrong). Maybe they addressed it with those newer pics, hard to tell. I'm liking that pic below. Edited May 15, 2015 by wmkjr Quote

spanner Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 It would be nice if they included the little holes in the gun pod to mount the gun strap.. something I noticed that is missing from the Zero-D.. Quote
mechaninac Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Well, BiJ has responded to my query. Their answer is as follows: Hello,Yes, Fedex is totally acceptable for this item. Our FAQ has not been updated yet since the introduction of Fedex and basically that rule is meant to indicate that SAL should not be chosen over 15,000 yen.SincerelyBig in Japan Big in Japan is officially the least expensive source for acquiring the VF-0 (AE's price is the same but they require EMS on this), with a total delivered price of 32380 yen; however, there is a caveat, they require immediate payment of the full amount upfront because it exceeds 20000 yen.

Plasticgoose Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 I really like the look of this new Valk, but it blows my mind at how much these new ones cost. I have all the Yamato Zero valks, and keep them if fighter mode. The only reason I want the Arcadia valk is because I hope (big hope) that they come out with reactive armour which I suspect will not be backwards compatible with the yamato valks. Something has to entice people to pay this price for a re-mold...right? The VF-0D was new so I can see the price of that being high, but one can go get a bundled yamato/ghost set for less than the asking price of this. I read that the Yamato bundle sets are a bit tighter in tolerances and do not suffer from the drooping gunpod and cracked sholders. Like I said, still in for one, because of the color and the hope for some future accessories. Just hope I can snag a VF-0S as hero valks seem to go fast when that comes out. Quote
Dimis Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 I haven't posted for ages, but now i have to ask: Why the blue details on the VF-0a? Has it been seen somewhere before? If not it will annoy me and generally how not precise Arcadia's color palette choices seem to be in the VF-0 releases. Grrr!!! Quote

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 this is amazing, the vf-0A has "phase shift technology." i don't know how they incorporated it i love how the armor can change colors. can't wait! Quote
