The bare diecast landing gear bother me.

What a badly built toy. If you remove a bunch of screws it just falls apart!
LOL!
I'd be concerned if you removed all the screws and it DIDN'T come apart!
Question.. why are you dismantling it?

Looks like NY are sending my three items separately ffs.. the Max was first to be sent on its way. Kinda irritating.

Another new arrival!

Awesome photo!!!

I initially chose "pay later" for this one but I was able to scrape together enough money to pay for it today. At least its out of the way now rather than having to pay for it later on especially around xmas time when hobby funds are usually tight.
At least now all my pre-orders are paid in full.
Can't wait!

Ahh ok... Cool thanks for that!

NY still has it available at their original price but it is the later batch as any you find will probably be.
I ordered some from FromJapan before NY reopened so I might order some more from NY at some point, lol.
Early January or April isn't a huge deal but what is considered a "late" order? Its still a full three months from the estimated release date so maybe I could still get them in early Jan?

I really really like the blue. The swing bar was fine for me and the nosecone is pretty tight, has snap to it. Have to get better at avoiding paint rub, that laser clearance for getting the head thru for battroid is pretty tight. My shoulders were correct and the bicep swivel is pretty tight that I wouldn’t want to twist it without holding the shoulder with my other hand. The intake cover for the right leg usually pops off when engaging the gerwalk joint because the ratchets feel nice and tight. Going to try to the waist swivel next for that knee to chest fist to ground superhero landing pose.
I really like this pose!

OMG! what a beauty!

you won the game!
I guess I did! Im thrilled they are releasing this version as its what I wanted from the very beginning. Frustrated me know end that the later VF-0 releases got all the upgrade bits but the D did not.. this premium version looks killer!
Cannot wait to have it on display and bask in all its gorgeousness!
-
All my three items with NY are now in prep!
Two of which are DX 1:48 VF-1's!
-
A few more recent additions..
-
I caved! PO'd!
-
never mind I found some more pics. Looks like they have fitted the VF-0A & S arms to this thing. NY has pay later option for this one! gahhh! what do I do!?!?

These. They weren't on the 1st VF-0D:
Triangle filler for the legs
1st VF-0D no triangle Courtesy Collection DX
Shoulder/Chest filler
Old pic of the VF-0D without the filler and the color I wish it was

OMG! its fantastic to see these will be on this release! But what about the mounting slots for the gunpod? Have they moved it back further up the arm so it doesn't interfere with the hook when installed? The premium finish does look quite nice but the price doesn't.. still its tempting!
-
it definitely sucks to hear the renewal SV-51 has issues. After the detaching leg issue of the VF-0 I guess something like this happening was always on the cards with Arcadia..
Hope all effected can get it sorted out.
-
I also got order prep notice from NY but only for my VF-1A Max.. Really glad to see I was able to actually get one! Though my VF-1J and YF-19 orders have not seen any movement yet. I do hope they realise I have those other orders in place and send them all at once instead of separately.

Considering I ordered my items so late I will calmly and patiently wait. Its gonna be tough but I try my darn hardest not to get the s#$%'s.

They are still lovely things. I wonder if Arcadia will ever consider a version 3? On the whole they are still a well engineered toy even after all these years and the later versions were an improvement but there is definitely still room forimprovement.
