How about an F-35 in IAF dressing:

Very nice what if. I think the real F-35I will be grey with lighter grey for the star of David. Just like the RAF, USAF and RAAF. Real world fighters have become so boring.

VF-0A looks so good

I was considering getting it, but I won't risk getting a defective product for that huge price. I don't like the lack of tampo either. Beautiful valkyrie, not worth the price unfortunately until Arcadia fixes the hip problem (unless you can fix it yourself). I'm actually kind of mad if they already had the issue on VF-0D and didn't fix it. The problem will then probably persist on to 0S aswell. Bad way to do business.

Unfortunately, they are the only one that are producing VF-0. Not sure if Bandai has the license. It would be great if they have. Look what they did for VF-19. Cheaper too.

Hope this one helps you on how to disassemble the legs and arms. Again, fix it at your own risk.

Thanks for the idea on removing the shoulder part. So far so good at my end

This isn't in the VF-25 thread, but I made a post with pics for the YF-29 here with some follow up posts below it.

Most of it applies to the VF-25 also. To remove the arms, I believe you can just remove the screw underneath each of the die cast shoulder blocks.

Thanks! It seems like it's not possible to disassemble the legs without breaking anything

I think some where in this thread shows how to disassemble the VF-25 for custom job. Does anyone have any knowledge where it is? I couldn't seem to find it and I just want to know how to disassemble the legs and arms.

Many thanks!

Exact same feeling here... I was so hyped for it and when I got it I was thoroughly unimpressed. The bare bones presentation carried through with the VF-0D and took a week of my hard work to bring it back to the point where I could look at it. So I'm not that excited about these VF-0 (they are just too expensive for what you get - I don't mind paying premium for a premium product, but IMHO, they are not) and I swore off Arcadia until something changes.

But the Reactive Armour has me thinking as I never did get a VF-0S in the past. I'm just not sure and sitting on the fence for now - but definitely not getting too excited as I've been burned by Arcadia twice now in two toy issues.

Couldn't agree more on the premium price for premium product. I don't mind the price for Bandai VF-19 Advance which I think it worth it. Having said that, I'll get VF-0S since I never had this. But that's about it for Arcadia product.

It all looks good, but I'll pass for VF-0S.

Got mine today. It worth the asking price. It's beautifully done.

Only if Bandai can do this one...

Got shipping notice from CD Japan. They are quick.

I'm a bit late for this 3rd party Transformers. Can anyone tell me what is the cheapest price for Maketoys Green Giant Type-61 (Devastator) and the website that sells it?

I like the 0A but with limited wallet capabilities I'll have to pass this one for 0S.

It's just an enlarged version of the Bandai/B-Club VF-2SS model.

Lost count. But I have stopped investing as the prices shoot up. Having said that, I'll make exception for the upcoming VF-0S

Good initiation. Finally decided to something about Macross II. The product look like it's made out of Bandai old model. For that price, I would expect more like Bandai DX kind of product if not Arcadia standard.

Bandai releases are harder to get is because their price range still largely fall in many fan's budget. Arcadia on the other hand is getting out of reach for many. You can say one is Merc the other is heading to Rolls Royce territory.

Generally, the Macross toys don't hold their value like the old chunky monkey in the past. If you think it's out of reach, wait for a few years when some new line comes out, members here will dump a few at a relatively affordable price. Or, save up and buy the one you really like.

Anyone has news on this figures? Are they going to bed released and who are the manufacturer, Bandai?

Thanks for the additional pic! I didn't know who that one robot above Space-C was supposed to be.

So, if that SR-71 is "blocky," then what the heck should we call Hasbro's movie Jet-Fire or FP's Not-Silverbolt?

That would be Fitor (reference). I just don't remember him looking that badass and sporting a sword.

Movie Jetfire is a brick not a jet

Got the SR-71 in jet mode though not too clear. It appears that it is very 'blocky' unlike Leader-1's F-15 jet mode.

Should we starts a new Gobot/Machine Robo series thread instead of tagging on Transformers thread?

YES!!!! Finally Machine Robo Series... The SR-71 or Snoop or MR-45 is a must buy

Any mecha design revelation?

That is the most beautiful YF-19 ever made, combining play-ability and look. Look at the tampo printing on it. If it prices below the Yamacadia YF-19, Bandai will have truck load of money coming their way...

Hopefully they'll bring back the unreleased YF-21

Yep, I completely agree with David. That's exactly how I feel, I've transformed my Bandais whenever I feel like it (no loose joints yet) but I leave my Yamacadias in aircraft mode only. In fact most of mine (other than the VF-1s which is nice and simple) haven't been in any other mode - every time I try (especially with the VF-4G) I think I'm going to break/snap something plastic, That stupid orange heatshield on the VF-11, that stupid rudder fold on the YF-19 (really?! it serves no purpose other than to infuriate me!) Plus they look so bare with just the minimum of markings that they look way more "toyish" than the Bandais until I have to scrounge to dress them up with water slide decals. On top of all that, I usually pay twice as much for a Yamacadia than a Bandai!

I'm really hoping for a beautiful fighter mode on this baby to satiate my desire for a decent YF-19. Come on Bandai, a lot is riding on ya for me!

Couldn't agree more. All my Yamatos are are either in fighter mode or in box. As for Bandai, I can transform to any other mode whenever I feel like (may be the YF-30 is an exception as you need to swap the hand)

Judging from the price of YF-30, my price guess is 24000 because of the super parts. I hope it could be cheaper but I think that is just a wishful thought.
