Looks too busy, too many stickers taking away from the overall look. i wish they released a version without the UN Spacy and 301.

would look so much cleaner and i wouldn't worry about scraping it when transforming it.

Taking them apart makes it way easier to work on them, especially for coating all the visible surfaces for every mode. That's just the extra hassle for a transforming toy. It'd be easier to get away with not having to take it apart on a non-transforming Gundam.

That looks great! I've been interested in the RG line for awhile, but with so many valks that need attention, I don't want to divert time away from them for gunpla... though that RG Zeta Gundam looks real nice too... 

Bandai where's my MB Nu Gundam?

I am considering getting one, but I am worried for the cost of scratching. Is clear coating a way to stop it and any recommendations on what to use?

[Lolicon]

Putting a clear coat is just to give an even finish throughout. It's not going to prevent scratches. That's just the reality of having one part rub against another during transformation.

If VFs were real, they would be scraped up all over wherever parts moved against each other. But since it's a fictional animated show, everything always looks nice and clean and new.

Anyone have issues with paint on the wings? The design of this valk requires one wing to overlap another in battroid mode. I am curious if this would cause the white paint to scratch and darken over time.

Anyone know of one of these PF 0S’s for sale?  What’s the going price?

Arcadia just recently put PF VF-0S for sale thru their webshop site last Feb as part of their inventory sale. The posted price if I recall is still their MSRP of Y41904. In which it will be shipped this March.

http://arcadia.ac/user_data/special2019.php

Not sure though how much the first release going for nowadays. The last two sold at YJA for Y46000 and Y48000. That’s without proxy and shipping fee yet.

You can also check and post on this thread for current pricings:
