Chronocidal Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) I still don't understand why they thought it was necessary to cover a gap that's existed on nearly every single valk in existence, and that I've never once heard anyone complain about at all (and that's saying a lot for this community ). One thing I'm curious about, can anyone confirm that those triangles don't get in the way of the arms when going to gerwalk mode? The legs still popping off isn't really giving me a great feeling about buying a 0S when they come out, but I suppose it won't matter for fighter mode. I just hope they fix the paint.

F360 Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 The other option is to buy them from CDJ and pay immediately which isn't an issue as I have the funds ready now. For CDJ , if you pay with CreditCard, you will not need to pay immediately. They will do a pending charge on your card just to make sure it's good., then once they ship out your item, they'll then charge you. Quote
Loop Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Yeah with CDJ I use PayPal to pay immediately. Quote

Sounds familiar but hey my mind could be playing tricks on me.. if i do buy from them I'll just pay up front to ge it over with. Also just got order preparation notice from Nippon Yasan for the Zero-A!! Hopefully they ship soon! Now to check if the have the Zero-S available for pre order yet.. Quote
technoblue Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Also just got order preparation notice from Nippon Yasan for the Zero-A!! Hopefully they ship soon! Now to check if the have the Zero-S available for pre order yet.. +1 I got my order preparation message from NY too. But the 0S pre-order mystery continues... Quote
Moosey Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 -0S ordered. I tried to resist, although watching Zero from start to finish last night didn't help. What can you do?! Quote
spanner Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 -0S ordered. I tried to resist, although watching Zero from start to finish last night didn't help. What can you do?! Proved too much the temptation eh! Cool! Where did you secure one from? Quote
seti88 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 vf-0A available on NY...no sign on the S yet tho.... Quote
spanner Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Got postage notification but still no VF-0S up on NY yet.. Quote
seti88 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 maybe the vf-0s sold on NY is the stealth version Quote
KH355hamdi Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Got shipping notification from NY as well. Will be here this friday. Can't wait! Quote
F360 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 got Shipping notification from BiginJapan. now the waiting begins again. Quote
spanner Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) maybe the vf-0s sold on NY is the stealth version hehe! if so then NY profits will also be pretty much stealth too! Edited August 31, 2015 by spanner76 Quote
joppewo Posted August 31, 2015 Author Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) NY VF-0S (29,420JPY) : https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/13554-macross-zero-1-60-kanzen-henkei-vf-0s-phoenix.html Edited August 31, 2015 by joppewo Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Thanks for the NY link! Really good deal considering its 275 shipped while HLJ has it for 270 not shipped. Quote
charger69 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 NY VF-0S (29,420JPY) : https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/13554-macross-zero-1-60-kanzen-henkei-vf-0s-phoenix.html Ordered! Quote
spanner Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 And Nippon Yasan comes through in the end and with the best price i believe!! Correct me if im wrong.. anyways i Ordered 2 of em! Wooo!! Quote
barurutor Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 0a shipped, that was fast considering i just paid this morning. Quote
Moosey Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Proved too much the temptation eh! Cool! Where did you secure one from? HLJ - I have store credit with them after my -19ADV was delivered damaged. Come to think of it, I think I've ordered almost half of my Valks from them. Quote
Xigfrid Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Ordered at NY, actually this S is going to be cheaper than the A due to the exchange rates movements. Quote
spanner Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 0a shipped, that was fast considering i just paid this morning. that was bloody quick! that's what we want to see though.. HLJ - I have store credit with them after my -19ADV was delivered damaged. Come to think of it, I think I've ordered almost half of my Valks from them. Sucks your 19 was damaged but at least you got that credit to make your VF-0 more affordable! Ordered at NY, actually this S is going to be cheaper than the A due to the exchange rates movements. buying two still cost me a small fortune and I don't think the Aussie dollar recovered much at all in the last few days to make a significant difference.. Quote
Moosey Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Sucks your 19 was damaged but at least you got that credit to make your VF-0 more affordable! Yeah kinda makes it more like a Bandai release! Quote
Dimis Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Until 10 minutes ago i was not pre-ordering the VF-0S. A visit here and now... i got one? ! Quote
D' only Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 preordered from NY, same price as VF-0A. It's going to be a good January 2016. Quote
chyll2 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 dunno if I can afford it. Just PO'd a 0S at NY Quote
eriku Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) My 0A has already cleared US customs! Go Shin, go! Edited August 31, 2015 by eriku Quote
HG Blows Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Why does NY price they're stuff so competitive for one item, and then mark other items up so high? It's weird. Having said that, I love that you can pay in usd, their conversion rates are a few points better than paypal or my cc. Plus you can time your payment when the fx is most favorable. Quote
seti88 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 finally roy came out of stealth mode in NY...gotcha! Quote
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Can someone list a breakdown of prices and availability for the VF-0S by site? Quote
seti88 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 And Nippon Yasan comes through in the end and with the best price i believe!! Correct me if im wrong.. anyways i Ordered 2 of em! Wooo!! looks like a good deal compared to others.. congrats on your double order! Mine is definately going to be battroid mode only due to the reactive... Quote
seti88 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Can someone list a breakdown of prices and availability for the VF-0S by site? Been refreshing HLJ, amiami, biginjapan, hobby search, CDjapan its looks like its available. but NY is the only one retailing at a figure starting at 29,xxx. The rest start with 3x,xxx. Quote
chyll2 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Can someone list a breakdown of prices and availability for the VF-0S by site? http://www.hlj.com/product/ACA82121/Sci 33,060 yen http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10344021 33,060 yen https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/13554-macross-zero-1-60-kanzen-henkei-vf-0s-phoenix.html 29,420 yen http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-153459 31,320 yen (there are other popular site but price should remain in the same range) I PO'd at NY since they accept under-declaring of value which will help me save money from paying full value. Though if you want good after-sales support, I think nothing comes close, HLJ is the best out there. Quote
F360 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 How can you guys forget Biginjapan .. 29,580 yen , fedex shipping 3000 http://biginjap.com/en/completed-models/12590-macross-zero-160-vf-0s-phoenix.html Quote
no3Ljm Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I PO'd at NY since they accept under-declaring of value which will help me save money from paying full value. Though if you want good after-sales support, I think nothing comes close, HLJ is the best out there. Yeah, that made me decide to get the expensive stuffs from HLJ now after hearing some negative feedbacks from people who bought from AmiAmi and the others esp items that have broken parts. But we'll see what the future holds and if I get too short on the budget. Hehehe. Quote
spanner Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 so BIJ and NY are the only sellers under 30k! And HLJ being one of the highest.. well I guess you gotta pay for that superior customer service one way or another.. Just checked the postage tracking and mine has officially left Japan! Hopefully I'll have it by Friday! Fingers crossed.. Quote
