ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) You aint ever lying! I thought about commissioning a kit just to have this as part of my collection. Sure hope it is released in the 1/60 M-Zero stuff! OO With EXO's kit in mind and how much it costs, are you prepared to plonk down an extra 2 - 300 on that as well? Yamato has to be kind to us... First i thought i as only happy with Shin's 0A, but i'm really needing Roy's 0S in my display , it's just such a beautiful design and scheme. So i won't be holding out for Reactive combo anymore.

Alain Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 The VF-0A Shin, Ghost Combo is now listed as " IN STOCK " at HLJ, is it safe to assume that this is now PROBLEM FREE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0n5t3r Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 The VF-0A Shin, Ghost Combo is now listed as " IN STOCK " at HLJ, is it safe to assume that this is now PROBLEM FREE? beat me to it... its been there at hlj for a couple of days now... was hoping this would become available locally... if it was, i'd be getting this instead of the 1A... now i'm not too sure...

arrow Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I feel bad for the people who are considering buying the vf-0 but aren't aware of the shoulder problem. what a rip. yamato should just release a new vf-0 line/with fixes in a distinctive box and give free fixed arm to dealers with the old vf-0 in stock.

That's what I'm hoping, so I ordered one - will report here when it arrives. Fingers crossed, fingers crossed.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumdumgai Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I would like some free replacements for my VF-0A's shoulders/arms. Damn you to hell HG. Good luck on the VF-0A Shin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdman Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Well, if these are factory new, they should be fixed right? Unless someone dusted off a box that's been sitting in the warehouse for a while. I'm mostly planning to keep it in fighter mode anyway so if it was old stock it wouldn't kill me. Either way, I'll report here when I know more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Chaos Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I have pre-ordered a restock of the Roy VF-0S which is supposedly due in September. Here's hoping it has the fixes applied. I'll be sure to post my findings as soon as I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechinyun Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Anyone using Silver Dragons Recast Shoulders? How are they? Do they look exactly like the original? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 (edited) yamato should just release a new vf-0 line/with fixes in a distinctive box and give free fixed arm to dealers with the old vf-0 in stock. Totally agree with that. Ebay buyers should watch out though since nothing is going to stop a guy from just chucking an old version in a new box. Well we've all been screaming for yamato to put some kind of factory seal on boxes as a way to discourage that kind of thing but nobody listens.... Just like with the pressure to give us the side parts for 1/60 VF-1 as standard...... Maybe when v3 comes out. lol But they have reacted to some stuff: -smaller boxes, -more tampo printing instead of stickers -hands that are manly and beefy -better QC so it's not all bad.

Birdman Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Well, my VF0A Shin arrived yesterday (from HLJ) and all is well - no cracks in the shoulders or other damage that I could find. No problems with the fast-pack magnets and the feet aren't too loose. That being said, this isn't a toy that I would want to transform often as I can see some parts wearing out sooner rather than later. The only real complaint would be the hands, as they are barely able to hold the gunpod. If anyone else buys one and transforms it for the first time; don't bother with the rotating cockpit/seat feature. I managed to break off the instrument panel when I tried to rotate it back going from battroid to fighter mode. Since I have a fair bit of experience building models it was no big deal to fix but it wasn't something I wanted to see that's for sure! Also, don't waste any time on the Ghost's landing gear. It just takes a lot of time and effort to get it out and even more time to retract properly if you want to be able to close the doors afterward. So, as far as I can see it's safe to purchase but keep in mind that I've only transformed it once. I don't know how things will stand up for the long-term. This is definitely not a kid's toy designed for daily play though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I've transformed mine numerous times, well into the double figures, still tight. yeah, i've played with the Ghosts landing gear like once and then slotted them back in and haven't bothered again.

Alain Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Glad to know your VF-0A is OK. Will have to wait now if it will become locally available here, problem is, If I'll be getting this, will be forced to complete the zero line ( atleast the main characters ) by getting the Ivanov....
