Falcon18 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) ^ I remember seeing that somewhere in this thread too. This one's said to be Arcadia's first general release after all the made to orders before not counting the 1J. February huh?Wonder if they have settled on the next PT toy....or will they just milk the VF-0 for a while... That's what someone here said too. I don't read Japanese so I could be wrong.

Mommar Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I imagine there won't be pre-orders until November, just like the YF-19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

close313 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 That good, maybe we can get some black Friday discount on HLJ. Same here, used the same discount for the expensive YF-19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvmacross Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) +2!! +3....you can buy it as soon as it posts....then dump it and re-buy it at the Black Friday price!!! Probably Black Friday pricing for the golden Kai too! Edited September 3, 2014 by jvmacross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreyD Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Yeah, if I remember correctly I had my YF-19 pre-ordered at HLJ when it got posted, then I cancelled and re-pre-ordered during the Black Friday sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mizicke5273 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I thought POs for the YF-19 were in September, because by November it was already on it's second or third round of POs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreyD Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 My original YF-19 pre-order was on 4 Oct. The black friday sale re-pre-order was on 1 Dec. If the VF-0D is following the same schedule, then the pre-orders would likely get posted in Oct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Im pretty sure I got my 19 from AmiAmi. I remember being as happy with the price as i was going to be given the overall expense. I'll probably do the same this time, I ALWAYS miss out on HLJ orders. i think the last thing i got at HLJ was the Macross Quarter when they dropped it to $90.

I did the same thing. I was nice of HLJ to let me cancel and re-pre-order t pick up on the huge sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Any guesses when pre orders will most likely open for the Zero? Getting a little anxious about it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I know. I was just playing it safe with my wording in the case that it wasn't. And TKing, I wasn't directly aiming at you. I was only trying to make the point that people should just stop stressing on something that has been acknowledged to be changed. Clearly there are other priorities in life than to stress about the colour of a toy. Also, Mr.K is the guy who actually designs and settles the valkyries (correct me if I'm wrong) so no, definitely not just "some guy" on Twitter. He's the one sort of in charge in this. I don't wish to argue. Just asking people to relax. There's still months to release. And yes, I know this site loves to nitpick on every single detail. At the same time, companies can't please everyone. Also, you're not the only one spending a pretty penny on this. So is everyone who intends to get it. Peace. The color might not change though. What if the floating head says the max blue is how he likes it? A toy company can't go against the wishes of the macross creator. Perhaps japan likes toys to be brighter to match the anime color style of making it look cartoonish? While other places prefer less flashy paintschemes but we are not as important? Notice how popular macross 7 was with its clown valks over there compared to macross plus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treatment Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Also, I don't subscribe that Japan likes brighter color toys more than anywhere else. We would've have seen a more flashy and brighter, say, Space Battleship Yamato and other toys if that's really even a factor to consider.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 great shot random comment to mr. k on the picture おー！肩関節が以前の物とは変わってるのが分かりますねぇ。 oh! The shoulder joint it is understood to have changed with the thing before. (shoulder no longer has same ball joint design from before) his response: ボールジョイントを止めましたね～。（足首は健在だが） It is - ..the stop.. as for the ball joint. (Though the ankle is alive and well. ) does this mean the ankles are not changed from the previous design, or does it mean the ankles have ball joints that remain?
