nightmareB4macross Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 I’m fine with my Yamatos as well, but my collector mentality tells me I have to buy it to complete the Arcadia M0s. Quote
lechuck Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Though asking price. If Bandai is clever they could really kill Arcadia by announcing a HMR VF-0 and SV-51 now. To bad we don't have something akin to MG or PG Valkyrie releases, I think we are at a point where this is much needed. Quote
Slave IV Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Wait, so that price is for a regular, non-PF version? Man... Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Well, I'll be buying that, plus the PF VF-0D. And not much else during that timeframe. Quote
borgified Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Non PF version I believe. Since when did Ivanoff's and Nora's get the PF version from M0? Can anyone imagine if a stealth version of the SV-51 ever gets done... Quote
Mommar Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Man, I really hope I get that new job to cover this!!! Quote
wmkjr Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Same price as the VF-0D when it came out so I guessing the same PO pricing. Quote

My old e-mail confirmation is only in Dollars so I can't comment on the Yen amount of the time but based on conversions today it's not the same price. Quote
wmkjr Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) Checked my Amiami order for the VF-0D as reference 31400yen. We'll see how it goes when PO goes up. Edit: Pretty neat Lego SV-51. Edited April 25, 2019 by wmkjr Quote
valhary Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 The most outstanding is the improvement of the double hinge in the arms and also apparently the wings could support the missiles weight this time Quote

Wait was there a PO for the VF-0D already? Quote
Lolicon Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 I want to downgrade to an HMR VF-0. I hate details, hardpoints, and correctly sized pilots. Quote
HardlyNever Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 I'm honestly just hoping this ends up at a pretty steep discount. That might be the only way I can justify buying one. Enemy mecha + less-popular-franchise + ridiculous price seems like a good combination to be a shelf warmer. Arcadia might be considering that already, though, and make this a very limited run (hence the high price already). Quote
jenius Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 An HMR VF-0 would be probably 1/4th the price and have better paint applications so..... I could see the draw. Quote

No news yet on the PF one. Edit: Yup. Lego and paper SV-51. They should make a how-to tutorial for those lego valks as I got a bunch of my kids old ones. I know folks out there made some of them already. Edited April 26, 2019 by wmkjr Lego my eggos. Quote

nightmareB4macross Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 That is the million dollar question right there. Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Well, there's an open-used-joints loose/cracked Ivanov at Mandarake for ¥20,000. So at least the price doesn't seem terrible relatively if it really is better plastic/articulation/no sagging wings. Quote
Shukenzero Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 I will get this and the eventual Nora and then my Zero collection is pretty much done. Not interested in a CF version, but what are the chances Arcadia will make one? Quote

Shukenzero Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Just seems like the bookend to an era of Yammie/Arcadia valks. I started with the Yanmie SV-51 and I didn’t know what show it was. Just knew it looked killer and never looked back. Quote

That’s an ¥11-12k fixer-upper.. 2 hours ago, David Hingtgen said: I did own the original, and I don't know what's so great about those pics. Lol. Same ,same . I’m sure it’s an improvement. And as far as collecting goes, I’m sure it will satisfy all. I’m just done buying everything being put out these days , as my collection is brimming over and some of the oldies are still great. I’m not , by any means done collecting, just being VERY selective. Quote

The fact it's still worth even $100, with a $400 new version coming out and all that damage, gives me hope the Arcadia ones will sell decently enough. Quote

To be fair you can get it for $320 right now at AE. That's not exactly $400. Quote
