OzmaLee74 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 So who has the best price on this bird with EMS? I totally forgot to preorder but it doesn't seem to be a problem since most retailers have it available. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 I find HLJ's EMS prices to be cheaper than most others tend to charge. They only charged me ¥2980 when most places tend to charge ¥4000+ yen for EMS for valk shipping. Quote
505thAirborne Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 HLJ payment request received.... Payment made. Now the "Waiting Game". Quote
Scyla Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Mine is sitting in their warehouse for the next 60 days. Quote
wmkjr Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 So purdy! Not my pics, received shipping notification from HLJ as well. That was a lot better than last month's order The QF-2200D-A would look good with the A. Quote
Old Man Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 The QF-2200D-A would look good with the A.That's what I was thinking. Quote
Saburo Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Paid for my 0A yesterday and now my toy budget is depleted for August. Lucky there are no PO releasing in September for me. Can't wait to take photos with some of the new gear of the 0A and the VF-27β. Edited August 29, 2015 by Saburo Quote

F360 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 So who has the best price on this bird with EMS? I totally forgot to preorder but it doesn't seem to be a problem since most retailers have it available. which bird are you talking about VF-0a or VF0s? Quote

It was still available on Amiami 2 days ago but I remembered their jacked up EMS rates so I didn't order. I think I may go with HLJ. BTW, I was talking about the VF-0A. Sorry I forgot to mention in my last post. Quote
Saburo Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Look forward to your pictures, you have a damn good eye & camera!! Thank you much appreciated. I really should be getting around to re-shooting all my Valks. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 You heard it here first, folks! Deluge of new Saburo valk pics incoming! Quote
505thAirborne Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Thank you much appreciated. I really should be getting around to re-shooting all my Valks. Anytime! If you have the Yamato SDF-1, that would be a great start! Quote
spanner Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 still no VF-0S on NY yet..!? could it be that they won't be stocking it? I can't see why they wouldn't be? Quote
koonfasa Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Here you go. Hope that answers your question. vf0d-vf0s_canopy.jpg Perfect, thanks! Quote
no3Ljm Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Perfect, thanks! You're welcome. Hope that helps. Quote
F360 Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) here are some photos from 2chan, and one with the other Ghost booster, and the bad QC / leg poping off and different white. Edited August 30, 2015 by F360 Quote
spanner Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) lovely! and how Tomcat does it look in this photo! Edited August 30, 2015 by spanner76 Quote
Lolicon Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 I can still see a gap where the intakes are not securely attached to the underside of the chest. That was one of my biggest gripes with the old release. Quote
jenius Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 That's a terrible background to use for those photos... Quote
derex3592 Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 wow, so they didn't do a damn thing to fix the leg issue some people had with the 0D. Hmm...yeh, no Arcadia Zero valks for me. Next..... Quote
Scyla Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Lavender colored heat shield. I'm so glad I bought this one. All the QC problems on one item is a bummer and hopefully not indicative of the whole run. Quote
jvmacross Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Lavender colored heat shield.Can't unsee that now.... Quote
technoblue Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 still no VF-0S on NY yet..!? could it be that they won't be stocking it? I can't see why they wouldn't be? I would guess that they are waiting to get the VF-0A orders out of the way. It hasn't shipped yet! I expect NY to send those notices sometime on Monday. Perhaps the 0S will go up for pre-order at the same time? But the wait is getting long... HLJ has good customer service and shipping prices to my location, and that pre-order is tempting me... Quote

Yeah that may be the case but it's strange they would wait till after the Zero-A ships.. when other stores have listed them already. It's not like they have to make room for the stock first or anything. In the event they don't list it I'll just go with HLJ or CDJ.. And yes hope we get some notification about the Zero-A today! I have an empty spot in my display cabinet just for it and the wait is killing me! Quote
Loop Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Personally I would go with HLJ, unless you have to deal with heavy duty taxes or something. With HLJ I tend to get the best customer service if something goes wrong. *Edit* Forgot to mention I always seem to get way better shipping rates with HLJ also. Edited August 30, 2015 by Loop Quote

For EMS Express shipping, HLJ is the way to go. I think they charged me a whopping $25.00, can't beat that! Quote

With HLJ I tend to get the best customer service if something goes wrong. *Edit* Forgot to mention I always seem to get way better shipping rates with HLJ also. I am tempted but what I like about NY is the option to pay either up front or when it suits me and in most cases with anything I pre-order I usually pay sooner than later so its out of the way and no need to either hold on to the money till release as it could be spent on something else by then or worry if I don't have the funds towards release. And their shipping rates are fairly reasonable.. There might only be $10 max difference in it between NY and HLJ postage fees anyways.. The other option is to buy them from CDJ and pay immediately which isn't an issue as I have the funds ready now. Quote
spanner Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 For EMS Express shipping, HLJ is the way to go. I think they charged me a whopping $25.00, can't beat that! You're in the USA I assume yes? Seems you guys get on average a lower shipping charge than to here in Aus.. Shipping for my Zero-A cost me about $38 (AUD) which is a little over $25 USD which ain't a lot more.. Doesn't help the Aussie dollar is so weak at the moment.. Quote
ArchieNov Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 I'm a little surprised by this... I thought the additional triangle molding was supposed to completely cover up the back of the knee joint in fight mode. But as you can see in the picture, the triangle is much smaller than the gap. Was it just not transformed correctly? I was never really bothered by that knee gap showing in fighter on the 0D, but having something like this only partially cover the gap kinda annoys me because it's not doing what it was meant to do properly. Also, that added triangle mold looks strange sticking out in gerwalk/battroid mode. Quote
wmkjr Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 It's probably not transformed correctly. Look at how the backpack looks in the gerwalk pics or the wings in battroid. I don't think that's how it should look. Quote
ArchieNov Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Yeah hopefully that is the case. At first I thought he just didn't collapse the legs in when transforming back to fighter. But then again, I'm not sure it's possible to have the backpack lock into the legs in fighter mode if the legs aren't fully collapsed. I guess I'll find out once someone here gets their copy. Mine hasn't shipped yet unfortunately. Quote
wmkjr Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Looking at the other blog pics, I'm starting to believe that's how it is. The leg pack covers that gap though. Quote
