So its called a phoenix? or is there a new valk? I'm lost. lol

It's called the Phoenix, there is no new valk!

they're legit man. the owner of that store is also a member here under that username, hkcollectibles.

Oh sweet! Thanks.

And no offense to hkcollectibles if he reads this... I was just being cautious!

It's simply a release that many of us passed over due to qc concerns, and either missed out on the fixed release with Ghost or didn't want to have the bundle to get the fixed 0S, and missed out on the 2nd standalone release.

That's what I figured. I was worried because I thought there would be major aesthetic improvements to the 3rd VF-0S release, but it doesn't look that way.

There are still Ghost bundles available here and there I think...so I'll probably go for one of those instead of waiting for a near-identical re-re-release! Thanks for the help.

Also, you might want to contact Graham and see if he can give you more insight on this.

I'll give that a try, thanks for your reply

Off-topic:

Has anyone purchased from this HK website? Their prices seem cheaper than HLJ. Not sure if they're reliable...

I browsed through the forums for an answer to this but to no avail

What are the differences between the April/May 2010 Re-release (third release) of the VF-0S, and the old "VF-0S w/Ghost Booster" combo?

As far as I know, the old Ghost Booster combo had no mechanical issues, and they already fixed the original VF-0S with the second release.

So..why the third release? Should I wait for it, or just buy the old Ghost Booster package?

Thanks in advance

I like the version of "Aimo" that she sings during battle, and says something like "Rise up Frontier!" in the climax

Seems conflicting perspectives on the VF-0A Shin with Booster. Are these out now good or just an accident waiting to happen?

Well the -0A with Ghost is listed as "discontinued" on HLJ, so you won't be getting it from there. It also costs the same as the Roy VF-0S with Ghost.

Roy's model looks nicer anyway IMO...and it has all the fixes...so I'll be getting that.

Damn - I already bit on the HLJ sale for the VF-0A before reading through this thread. Guess I'll have to check things out thoroughly when it arrives.

I have a feeling that *edit* some people with broken models have transformed them too many times or are rough with the models. If you only need it as display and don't have time to build the model, then you won't need to transform it more than once or twice.

And if it comes broken in the box, according to HLJ's return policy (if that's where you got it from), they'll accept returns for defective products and will pay for shipping.

Hope yours turns out okay Keep us updated!

So I was JUST about to buy the VF-0A from HLJ. It's on clearance right now, 40% off, which sounded sketchy to me.

I was looking for signs that it's being replaced or has issues, and I found this lovely thread

Has anyone asked HLJ if/when they're getting the 2nd gen VF-0S or -0A??
