SuperSenpai Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 VF-0A is back at HLJ at Y31320. I don't think it was ever sold out. I ordered one last week. Quote

spanner Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) they a fair bit cheaper at NY though at Y28,920.. but I know some folks don't like ordering from them. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/12041-macross-zero-1-60-kanzen-henkei-vf-0a-phoenix-kudou-shin-model.html Edited September 30, 2015 by spanner76 Quote
Gakken85 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 image.jpg Yeah looking up ash white, it does look more grey. PO cancelled.... hey wait? Quote
Axelay Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Looks GORGEOUS to me. I am thrilled to have preordered this. Quote
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) So, which company is the best option for the VF-0S? I am struggling to push the buy button for HLJ with their 34,800 yen price. Edited September 30, 2015 by funkymonkeyjavajunky Quote
no3Ljm Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) So, which company is the best option for the VF-0S? I am struggling to push the buy button for HLJ with their 34,800 yen price. Which Company or Which Store? If Store you're asking about, then I'm choosing HLJ for Customer Service. Esp I'm going to order the Evolution Toys' VF-2SS as well. Since it's a new company to take on the Macross valks, if ever there's a problem with it, I could just talk to them worry-free. But price-wise, I noticed that after with shipping costs, HLJ is just $15-20 ($30 max) expensive than the other ones. But yeah, I guess at HLJ, we pay premium prices. But like everyone says here HLJ is the only one who offers great customer service esp on buying expensive stuff. Edited September 30, 2015 by no3ljm Quote

spanner Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Wish they'd list the reactive armor alongside the Zero-S.. :/ probably wont see that till march or april at the earliest.. Quote
seti88 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Wish they'd list the reactive armor alongside the Zero-S.. :/ probably wont see that till march or april at the earliest.. I take it as a seperate listing just for the armour? Am ot sure how they will handle the release with the 0 CF's also due out...maybe before the CF's? It would be nice to get it ordered now, but my wallet is saying take ur time....there is a nagging part which hopes it would not be priced at more than 10k yen...but knowing the popularity it might just be above.... Quote
spanner Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I reckon the price for the armor will be between 15 & 20k.. Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) I reckon the price for the armor will be between 15 & 20k.. Or higher based on Mr.K's blog. You know that one, right? Why it costs more. But, if they release it like Y10K or less, I'll get two. Edited October 1, 2015 by no3ljm Quote

Above 20k would b on the excessive side just for a piece of armour... Unless it comes with an ghost booster set or something, I thk mr k will need to write another blog entry! Quote

Unless it comes with an ghost booster set or something, I thk mr k will need to write another blog entry! Yeah. I agree. But right now, it's probably safe to expect it in that price range. And that's just basing on their current pricing plan even if it's just an add-on parts. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) I don't think it should cost as much as a valk, but it is a lot of plastic. Here is a pic of a 1/72 kit. Edited October 1, 2015 by ChaoticYeti Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I don't think it should cost as much as a valk, but it is a lot of plastic. *snip* I do hope so. But I'm still conditioning my mind and my wallet on the said 'expensive' price so that I won't get too disappointed or frustrated the moment they announce how much it's going to cost. I mean, I'm already decided to get one despite how much the cost it's going to be. But it's better for me to think that it's going to get released for about Y20K+. I will feel much better if they will release it for Y10K and less, so better if that happens, I just might buy 2 sets just to 'help out' the company. Quote

The armor and booster in the same box so you can choose what you want to put where. Then again anybody who doesn't want one or the other is going to be mad they have to pay so much for something they don't want. Quote
Xigfrid Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I don't think it should cost as much as a valk, but it is a lot of plastic. Here is a pic of a 1/72 kit. I was telling myself that Arcadia bought too much of this 0D blue... Lol Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I was telling myself that Arcadia bought too much of this 0D blue... Lol Hahaha! Well, let's do hope that they use the same blue hue on the 'plastic' itself rather than painted on. Quote
spanner Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) I don't think it should cost as much as a valk, but it is a lot of plastic. Here is a pic of a 1/72 kit. it is indeed a lot of plastic! in a way almost too much plastic.. but im gonna stick to my guns on this one and bet it'll be mid to high teens price for sure. Making it roughly 50% of a latter Valks msrp. Edited October 2, 2015 by spanner76 Quote

Cmon arcadia give us a reason to help you I was telling myself that Arcadia bought too much of this 0D blue... Lol yea i think the answer to why the 0d blue and to a certain extent 0a's blue is beginning to be quite clear now.... it is indeed a lot of plastic! in a way almost too much plastic.. but im gonna stick to my guns on this one and bet it'll be mid to high teens price for sure. Making it roughly 50% of a latter Valks msrp. I hope the reactive armor plates are somehow removable and there are effect parts. That would really up the plastic count and justify a tag...otherwise perhaps some metal bits but i dont thk it would have.... Hmm i thk this discussion would best be continued in the reactive armor thread... Quote

Hmm i thk this discussion would best be continued in the reactive armor thread... Moving parts? I doubt it.. And effects parts definitely not! That's another of Arcadia's potential cash grabbing milk items.. The only metals parts we'll see will be the pins for the missile bay doors! And back to the correct thread we go! Quote

Honestly, if the reactive armor wasn't coming out I probably wouldn't bat at eye at this, because I already have the old Yamato VF-0S. For 300 bucks though, I can probably get 2 Bandai DX valks that I wanted. This is really a tough decision here. If only my family owns a bank or I didn't have bills to pay. oh well. Quote

I never jumped on board the Yamato-Zero boat so the Arcadia releases are more than welcome for me! To be honest my feelings for these new Zero's wouldn't be any different if they had decided not to release the Reactive Armor. Yeah the pricing of these things is a bit of a bummer I'll admit.. I have managed to trim quite a few expenses down in order to better finance my Macross collection but it is still hard. Paying bills is overrated! or at least till the debt collectors come a knockin! hehe! But sadly living costs money too and it ain't cheap either.. Edited October 7, 2015 by spanner76 Quote

seti88 Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 This is the other pic from the toysdaily site.. Inner leg stripes!! sticker or tampo?? But it seems the head laser stripes are on in every new pic we see ...hopefully that stays the way till release. UNSpacey on fuel tanks is still hard to see though, but i have a feeling its not gonna be there. Quote
wm cheng Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Wow! That VF-0S is starting to look really good. But after being burned twice by Arcadia and that insane price - I just gotta pass, in fact I'm probably passing on all the Arcadia stuff if they keep pricing themselves at this level and giving us the same bare crap. I don't mind paying these prices, but this is what I expect in the +$3-400 range! http://www.hlj.com/product/SET88021 Quote

Now even if I don't want to, I'm now starting to regret buying the Yamato VF-0S bundle. The only thing that's stopping me for regretting -- QF-2200D-B Ghost Booster. Hahaha! Quote
