Does anyone know Overdirve Phone # in Japan?

I pre-ordered my VF-0S and I got this email syaing that it will be shipped in 7 days..

WTF!

Looks like they are trying to send the v.1 with shoulder problem.

I would need to call them immediately but they have no contact info.

bought? already? VF-0S plus ghost pack? did you listen to any of what i and other members told ya?

Hi Ruskii

Yeah, I pre-ordered the re-release of the VF-0S w/o ghost pack from overdrive

Btw, is this thing coming with a Ghost pack? (you mentioned sth about ghost pack in your previous reply but I don't see any ghost in the macross section of the overdrive)

Thank you guys.

I bought VF-0S...

:):)

Saying bye to my wallet :'(

Yeah,

This basically explains my situation.

I am torn between choosing one of them. (and yes... I don't have money to buy both of them now)

I want bandai because it is painted (unlike Yamato which just uses its plastic color) and looks cooler and better QC

I want Yamato VF-0S because it is well proportioned and yeah... basically that's it.

Which one should I go for?

Anyone know if I can cancel pre-order for VF-25G after I receive my VF-25F Alto Version (which will arrive around mid January)?

I asked this question to Over drive twice but no reply.

Hey Guys,

Aren't any of you guys willing to send our opinions to Bandai Collectors Department (those making the DX Chogokin)?

I don't know their e-mail address but I'm just wondering instead of talking about the problems here, it would be much better to voice our opinions to Bandai and at least let them know which part of their toy we are not satisfied with.

I'll post the email address if I find one.

Hey guys, do you think the landing gear will be provisional?

It looks too shitty.... to be honest... for DX Chogokin.

Your chances of finding a VF-0S with Ghost booster now is very slim as it has been discontinued in production. I doubt you would want to get a VF-0S without the ghost as it has QC problems.

My advice for you is to get the SV-51 nora soon, cause they will soon be pretty hard to find (I estimate around 2 - 3 months from now), and also because it has got to be one of the coolest valkyrie toy you'll find at present.

I have also started my collection just 3 weeks ago. My initial plan was to buy the VF-0S with ghost booster but it can no longer be found in hobby shops here in Tokyo area. So I just settled with the YF-19 with fold(It was the last one in the shop). Just for your info, around 2 weeks ago, there were 3 - 4 SV-51 noras around Akihabara area. When I bought my SV-51 last Sunday, there was only 1 left. The Ivanov and mass production types are plenty but they have QC problems. The nora is the safest sv-51. Get it now while you still can.

What I am basicallly planning to do is get VF-0S renewal first since it will come with fixed problems... and then go for other stuffs. I think I should be ok without ghost pack since I don't like its shape very much ;;

Just buy all of them.

Get all of the VFOs and all of the VF1s.

Go for the 1/60 scale on the VF1s since it's in scale with the zeros and the pluss.

Don't dilly dally about which one to get - the VFO or the VF1... just buy them all. If you can't get them all at once, then start with the ones that are more rare and more likely to dissapear sooner.

That means start with the Zeros. And pick up a few SV-51s while you're at it.

Then get the YF19 and YF21.

At the end - get the 1/60 VF1s.

And prepare to get the 1/60 VF-25s too.

Pete

Hi Pete,

I don't have money to become an avid collector like any of you guys here :'(

What I have planned is to get the rare ones first and then go with the common ones later when I have more money.

So, do you think it's good to grab VF-0S first?

I am wondering if there will be 1/60 weathering version of VF-1S too.

Buy the Roy Ghost pack, but only from a reliable source, so as to not be swindled by some prick who swaps a release 1 VF-0S with a Ghost pack released VF-0S. I'll say again buy from Overdrive, and ask them to get you a new release (December) with the revised (fixed) arms. http://www.over-drive-inc.com/store/produc...products_id=485 and get one of the 2 different coloured Ghosts, your choice.

So, which do you think is a better choice?

VF-1S (Ichijo) 1/60 v.2 vs. VF-0S (Roy) 1/60

I want the one with better proportion and toy quality.

Thank you ruskii and Sumdungai

I have yet one more question:

1) How detailed is VF-0S (Focker)

2) Is VF-0S Renewal has the same quality (in terms of durability) as VF-0S Ghostpack edition? (If so, I would just buy the Ghostpack right away instead of pre-ordering)

Thank you

1. I am interested in either YF-19, VF-1 and VF-0. Which one of them has the best QC? and the best details? (heard that YF-19 is really shitty though)

*I'm most interested in Hikaru's VF-1S, Focker's VF-1S and Focker's VF-0S

EDIT: VF-1 as in 1/60 v.2

2. Is it possible to take apart Yamato and paint them?

3. If I buy one from over-drive, will it be possible to get replacements? (Or, do they cover toys that I have not bought from them?)

Thank you

When I pre-ordered with Overdrive, the site said the DX would be out late November. Just checked, still says late November. Was the release date pushed back? Or has a release date not yet been confirmed, and OVerdrive is, perhaps, being a bit too optimistic?

The release date was delayed to Dec 31st, which is a good news since Bandai will have more time to fix those problems.

You will get your hands on it around January.

I wouldn't worry too much about the paint chipping. What is shown in the photos is obviously a completely hand painted sample, not a production version, where the main color (grey for VF-25S and white for the VF-25F), will be molded in the correct color plastic.

The ony place on this toy that I'm am concerned about paint chipping is possibly on the diecast intakes.

Paint scraping of the black and red (Alto) and black and yellow (Ozma) trim could also be a concern during transformation, but we will just have to wait and see.

Graham

Hi Graham, do you think Bandai will ever change the landing gear?

To be honest, the landing gear in the prototype looks way too cheap and shitty and it's not like we can call Bandai and suggest our opinions.

The release date was delayed to Dec 31st so I hope they would actually edit some of these.

Forget the giant crotch. What made me really disappointed was the shitty quality of the landing gear.

Seriously...

This looks like the landing gear of airplane toys I can buy in a Duane Reade for coupe bucks.

Simply horrified at the lack of details in this part and also at the paint chipping.

This valk must have gone few transformations and is already have its paint chipped.

Please change the landing gear... for God's sake.
