Valkyrie addict Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 No thanks... I'd rather have a non-premium reissue to put with the RA Quote
Xigfrid Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 The original Arcadia VF-0S had already a lot of printings: it looks great as is already. Arcadia would better make first Shin's VF-0A which had barely any markings. Anyway, I always wanted an additional VF-0S, let see how much it goes Quote
seti88 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 As much as the 0S premium finish is certainly cool, i still rather have an updated ghost set. 32 minutes ago, Xigfrid said: The original Arcadia VF-0S had already a lot of printings: it looks great as is already.

Universe1010 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 A rehash for a premium price? Well I'm skipping already have the regular version with armor. Quote
Lolicon Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 It'll be expensive, but I know full well I'm going to end up buying this. I'll get this version, sell off my spare regular, and "demote" my custom to reactive armor duty. Quote

spacemanoeuvres Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 The price for this valk is going to be out of this world lol Quote
Marcion Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 no thanks for that I already own arcadia VF-0S so no need anymore Quote
Mommar Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 I already have two 0S and I decaled the hell out of both of them. Even the one covered in armor. This is a pass. But like everyone has said a fixed hip 0A/0D would be more welcome (though I already decaled the hell out of those two as well.) Quote
Arkham Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 As someone who was unable to get a VF-0 (any), this is welcome news. Yes it's going to be expensive, but right now a VF-0s second hand is going for 50k yen. So if I'm paying something similar to that, then at least I'm getting it new and "premium" Quote
Lolicon Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Seeing as there's no indication of a reissue of the regular edition, it seems this is just meant for the diehard collectors with deep pockets who want a PF VF-0S to go with the other PF releases. Quote
Mommar Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 To be honest, despite the fact I decal-ed my original one both the VF-0S and VF-1S really don't need anything more than the Skulls and UN Spacy markings. The White with Black and Yellow stripes are elegant in their simplicity. I kind of regret the decals on my 0. Quote

derex3592 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Easy pass for me. I trimmed every single sticker on my Arcadia OS and panel lined it (which they won't do), so I'm good with my own premium version. Quote
Alex GS Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 awww damn , is being a while I'm looking for VF-0S at a reasonable price, just thinking about how much this will cost it scares the hell out of me, the regular Arcadia one was priced at 31,200 Y and that was with the AmiAmi discount! Quote
505thAirborne Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Hopefully Arcadia will get wise and re-release a non-PF VF-0S as well, price-wise it's more within my budget. To be honest, I'd rather see a CF version come out. Quote
Boobytrap Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Nope not gonna bite on this one. Arcadia already charges a premium price for their products. Adding an additional $100 for tampo on the VF-0 will put it over $400. It's one thing to pay that amount (or more) for a special one time piece like the SDF-1. Paying that amount of money for a valk is way too far out of my budget. At least this release will give my wallet a chance to recover from all the spending I am doing the first half of this year.

sh9000 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Easy pass. My VF-0S has Reactive Armor on anyway. Quote

Ignacio Ocamica Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 I'll pass, although I still don't have a regular one. Waiting for a reissue. Quote
Chronocidal Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 I feel like Arcadia is getting into the same cycle of "Let's release stupid expensive stuff to help fund the development of affordable stuff" that Yamato got into before the v.2 VF-1 came out. Prices have gone up overall, but I wonder if they're focusing on all these premium versions as a slightly less labor-intensive way to line their pockets for upcoming production runs. Either way, I think I'm done with the VF-0. I still have all three original Yamato versions, two 0Ds, and an Arcadia 0S, and even with all the improvements to the new version's mold, I can't help but feel like they cheapened out on a few features. Switching from molded plastic lights in the wings to black paint actually felt kind of insulting to see them pull. If there's anything they should be doing with a premium version, it's fixing that. Quote
General Rasp Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) This is an easy skip for me. I have the first release they did. This probably means they will be doing premium versions of the other VF-0 Valkyries. I guess that good news for anyone wanting a complete premium version collection.

It'd be nice if that was the case, but Arcadia hasn't really released anything truly new *(Macross related) or indicated that they would. I hope that they do, but until something gets announced this feels like just an obvious cash grab... And with that said, will I buy? That's a big fat maybe - dependent on the price and what else is being released at or around the same time. If nothing else this just makes me glad that I already have an 0S, 0D and 0A from Arcadia. -b. Edited January 9, 2018 by Kanedas Bike *to add "Macross related" Quote

ZorClone Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 As someone who never has gotten a VF-0 at all but has wanted one for awhile, I'm glad to see this. I'm sure that will rapidly deflate into abject terror when the price is revealed. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 I've wanted to get a VF-0S for a while, may as well buy the Premium what with how much these cost on the secondary market (plus the whole QA issue). Quote
Lolicon Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 The regular version was already stupid expensive. Quote
Lolicon Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Yes this is an "obvious cash grab." Making money is the point. Do you guys think Bandai is releasing Macross toys just because they love the community so, so much? Or that Arcadia should just sell their products at a loss, just to show how much they love us? The real question is will enough people pay the premium price for this to be a profitable venture for Arcadia? Ehh, probably, since it's not a regular retail release. Quote
Graham Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 I may get one of these if I can afford it, as I missed out on all the Arcadia VF-0 releases so far. Quote
MikeRoz Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Only Zero release that would actually tempt me is a PF -0D. But I'd probably hesitate it and end up pocket vetoing it like I did the original. Quote
