Milo Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 If you're like me and have been waiting for a reasonable price for one of these kits, then your time has come! SV-51 Twinbooster VF-0A/S with Ghost Quote

mickyg Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 I've resorted to putting the boxes into HLJ shipping boxes and putting those out of site. It makes me feel better but it's obvious I have a problem... Quote

Chronocidal Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 I've recently taken to clipping parts off of sprues, and combining similar kits. I've got at least 5 or 6 1/48 VF-1 kits in a single strike kit box, 3 1/48 YF-19s in a single box, multiples of all of my star wars kits combined into single boxes, that sort of thing. The best ones are the VF-25 kits I stocked up on. Each plain or super-packed kit will fit in a 1 quart Ziploc baggie. I've gotten at least a dozen of the things in the box for my Armored Ozma. Quote
mickyg Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 But what about all that pretty box art??? Quote
VF-1A Grunt Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 I managed to get a VF-0A kit off Amazon for a decent price a few months ago, but I'd like to see them rerelease that one. Seems like the Zero "Cannon Fodder" equivalent should be more readily available. I know it was first released a while ago, but I guess it was a "limited edition" kit and sold out. Quote
505thAirborne Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Just ordered three VF-0A/S Ghost kits. I bought one years ago and loved it, so it's a good excuse to get some more! Thanks for posting this Milo!! Quote

MechTech Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Thanks Milo, good to know! I've had to do the same - combine boxes and sprues. Box art is for people who can't read instructions- MT Quote
mickyg Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Hah! But what about when that art is from Tenjin? Quote
MechTech Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 The good ones get framed! I've got all my old box inserts framed too. I've also got Tenjin's Super VF-1S wall scroll hanging up. Models make the best decoration fodder! - MT Quote
kajnrig Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Did Hasegawa ever announce a re-issue date? Quote
slide Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 my pre-order on HS says "After March"... so I don't think there's a firm date yet Quote

kajnrig Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Ah, thanks. I searched around there for the Ba as well. Shipping to retailers Feb. 23, product available Feb. 26. Quote
kajnrig Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Just paid for my two re-releases. Hope everybody got theirs as well. Quote
slide Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 yea I just payed for mine... was kind of hoping they would be another couple of weeks... ah well... credit cards are for temporary debt, right? Quote
mickyg Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Ditto - was surprised to see they'd been added to my PW this morning. Was hoping they'd be cheap to ship but given what's already in my PW, it's going to cost nearly $50 to get them here quickly. Quote
kajnrig Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 It didn't last a very long while. I received mine early last week (I had bought them when they went back up for backorder on HLJ). It looks like HLJ went through their entire stock of reissues already. You can try emailing them and asking if/when they can get their hands on another batch. Quote
