Raptor One Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 So no thoughts on the thigh joint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 the blog says And the tail assembly which sticks to a leg is folded up inside the leg. This gimmick is for the first time. so that's interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Was looking at my NY order history. I locked in the VF-0D at 291 US. If i had locked it in as yen it would only be 265 US. Is there anyway i can change this back to yen before i pay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyway i can change this back to yen before i pay? Just put in a ticket through the website to request a change in invoice currency from USD to JPY. They're very accommodating in this regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 So no thoughts on the thigh joint? Yes, I agree. That did not help the YF/VF-19 having limited range there. Especially considering Bandai, on slimmer parts, has managed some wicked degree of angle on their 171 and 25/27/29. No doubt their 19 will benefit from that (and non-wonky ankles) too.

jenius Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Ooh that might work out perfect. I have some huge projects at work I'm trying to get through and I'm hoping the dust will settle around the first week of March. I'll have earned a day off at that point so maybe I'll stay home and play with some toys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saburo Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 After some thought, I cancelled mine. There was something else I wanted to use the money for, if they are still available for a good price later I'll pick one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) So, was there any final consensus on the color of this thing, or will we learn when we open the box? Edited January 27, 2015 by funkymonkeyjavajunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was something else I wanted to use the money for, if they are still available for a good price later I'll pick one up. a shame you did but im sure you'll be able to get one upon release if you have a change of heart! I'll just have to make sure I send you some juicy photos of mine when they arrive in an attempt to sway you! So, was there any final consensus on the color of this thing, or will we learn when we open the box? seeing how much I love the design of the thing im not too particularly fussed with the colors we've seen posted up.. Although im sure they will get the color match much closer for the production version.. (fingers crossed of course) It will be a shade of blue. This would be good!

3D-Brainx Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I'm pretty sure Arcadia will show something at Wonderfest. So I guess the blue we'll see there will be the closest to reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derex3592 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I hope it's bright red...that would be totally Bommbaaa!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrentonx Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I think I'll care more about the color if (IF) we ever see the grey CF version. This is the only reason I settled for getting only one of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xigfrid Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I admit that I would be in for the grey version too, that double seat nose in grey mounted on my VF-0A = total awesomeness!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just have to make sure I send you some juicy photos of mine when they arrive in an attempt to sway you! I am pretty sure I'll regret my decision, but I need to put aside money for a big purchase. Please send the photos though, I more than likely will break down and order one later (if the pricing is good.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) I'm actually still considering cancelling 1 of the 2 I pre-ordered. Like Renton said above, if they release the grey CF version, all I would need is a couple of those for a rather large squad that may not fit on any shelf I own in formation Edited January 28, 2015 by Loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please send the photos though, I more than likely will break down and order one later (if the pricing is good.). i already cancelled one of two myself. i'm still waiting on WF and if it's a must buy i'll find a way to get another as i don't see this selling out on release day so i'm sure you'll be able to get it if you change your mind.

Kanedas Bike Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 i already cancelled one of two myself. i'm still waiting on WF and if it's a must buy i'll find a way to get another as i don't see this selling out on release day so i'm sure you'll be able to get it if you change your mind. Also cancelled (1) of (3) that I initially pre-ordered. That's not necessarily an indictment of Arcadia, the VF-0D or whatever color it ends up being, but just a reflection of being slightly more aggressive with saving money. I'm not convinced that these will be available for a long time (or at all) after release since I think Arcadia is sticking close to a made to order production model, and if not I'll be good with the copies I have pre-ordered. If they are then hopefully everyone that wants one can get one when it's convenient for them. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Funny story. I used the VF-0D as a new wallpaper for work. One of the two monitors is calibrated differently so there the VF-0D looks bright blue like the pictures form Arcadia. On the other monitor it looks like it (supposedly) has too look. Much more washed out colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chyll2 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 seeing that Arcadia YF-19 gets sold pretty quick at Mandarake and already sold out. I would say, it will be hard to obtain later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Magnus Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 dont worry Saburo. You can take pics of my VF-0D. I was on the fence on this fig too. I like the plane but not the price. With the price dropping it makes it more affordable to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL - honestly I'm more interested in seeing how things turn out re: availability. Beside I absolutely would not have accepted a free Valk. OT I know, but it wouldn't surprise me to see a re-release of the YF-19 or either of the VF-1S's by Arcadia sometime this year. Especially the 19, it just makes sense to try and get more return on investment out of the mold. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I'm very excited to find out how this release turns out. Hopefully I'll be more positive about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaoticYeti Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Me too. This will be a more telling arcadia release than the YF-19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
