Reïvaj Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Must have missed it. Good call. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=42180&p=1180381
Gakken85 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Head sculpt on this guy is one of the most impressive in recent memory.
troyness Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Paint chipping on pegs won't be an issue as the OD. Looks like they'll be tight Valks aswell.
Mommar Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Excitement rising. Can't wait for the both of these.
3D-Brainx Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 CollectionDX posted this:http://www.collectiondx.com/news_item/41615/160_scale_vf0a_phoenix_shin_kudo_ver_macross_zeroIt says August release, 34,800 yen
Scream Man Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 August?Well Im out. i have a huge August and September already
no3Ljm Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Cool! That means 0S will be released probably around Oct-Dec. I really don't mind if it's early next year. That means more time to save. Hehehe.
Scream Man Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 This is my monthly stuff till then, not including western toys: May Bandai VF-19Advance 24840yen (Alex) (Less $100 and shipping) SH Figuarts Riderman Machine – 4860yen (Paul) June Figma Kirito GGO 4450yen AmiAmi July SH Figuarts Tri Chaser 2000 – 4860yen (AmiAmi) SH Figuarts Captain America – 4940yen (AmiAmi) SH Figuarts - Super Sailor Moon – 3530yen (AmiAmi) 4860yen Figma Saber 2.0 Dress – 7000yen (S) GSC Bandai YF-29B – 17000yen (Alex) August Bandai VF-27 19000yen – (Paul)SH Figuarts X Cruiser – 5000yen (Paul)SH Figuarts Agito – 5400yen (Paul)SH Figuarts Mk45 – 4990 yen (AmiAmi) SeptemberSH Figuarts Trideron – 25000yen (Paul) And that assumes nothing else i want egts added to September
Valk-1S Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 August just for the VF-0A as collection dx has no date for the VF-0S. given the VF-0D is still readily available, I don't think the VF-0A will be that hard to find on release or couple months after release. If it was the VF-0S then I think it may sell out faster.
Gakken85 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Features diecast metal joints in its shoulders, elbows, hips, and ankles. Comes with underwing missiles and a gun pod. Ghost booster is reportedly not included. Will be compatible with the original booster. Scheduled for August 2015 for 34,800 yen. With discounts and a weak Yen - I'm seeing $250 ish - which is about where the 0's were around the great Yamato crash of 2010. Edited April 16, 2015 by Gakken85
3D-Brainx Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Today and without discounts it would be $290. I don't know how many or if the 0 A/S share parts with the 0D, but it seems too much considering it's a bare valk. I can undestand the price for the 0D, it was a new mold and everything, but I don't see how can they justify almost $300 for these two.
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 A whopping 2000 yen less than the 0D. Woof. hahahaha instead of the many cat avatars i always see, we need a pic of a dog. that price is up there.

We're hoping somehow a cut of Y5000 or Y8000 from 0D's MSRP. I guess, the price has something to do with 'fixing-the-diecast-joint-and-not-to-use-half-metal-half-plastic-from-VF0D-and-tell-people-that-it-cost-money-to-revise-it' this time. Oh well... here's to hoping.

Oh well... here's to hoping. Like I said previously I expected the price to be similar but hope it will be much cheaper. There's no reason for Arcadia to make it much cheaper. It's similar to the VF-0D so the price should be similar. If they made it much cheaper, it may impact on current and future sales of VF-0D and any future variants. These are expensive toys so not everyone will pick every single one up, and if they made the 0A/0S much cheaper it makes it easier for someone to decide if they were to only pick one up. In the first place I find the 0D should have been priced cheaper.
Gakken85 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 The price is probably the extra wing bits, wing size, extra pilot, and longer nosecone. I guess.
technoblue Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 A new/retooled hip mechanism on the 0A/0S that fixes the funky QC issue on the VF-0D would be nice. With Arcadia, I'm not holding my breath, but it would be nice.
brouken Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 34,800k yen!? That's....a little bit more than what I was expecting. And people are complaining over at the VF-2SS thread...
Reïvaj Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 34,800k yen!? That's....a little bit more than what I was expecting. And people are complaining over at the VF-2SS thread... Lol, my thoughts are exactly the other way round...
chyll2 Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 ^exactly while it is expensive, what I am seeing here at Arcadia for 34800 yen is more or less close to what they can deliver, on the other hand, the old model kit of Bandai probably looks better that VF-2SS toy at 25000 yen.
Scream Man Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 will come with leg armor but ghost will not be included. in fact, it may not be sold at all. So far Mr. K announced they're going the yf-19 route of making the old ghost compatible like the old fold booster was. nothing was announced if they will print a new ghost booster. Sounds perfect to me. Im not qa huge Ghost fan anyway, and if these new ones can fit the older Ghost I dont need to stress about it at all! of course i still cant buy it till probably Christmas, so we'll see.
wmkjr Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) I can almost see a painted version fighter mode. Pretty brave of Mr. K to take a pic. Hmph, looking closer, the VF-0A Battroid is painted too. A blue greyish color? Edited April 17, 2015 by wmkjr
chyll2 Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 the 0A battroid has paints app as well. the white line on the arms, UN Spacy on the feet and the red light on the wing tip.
Valkyrie addict Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Damn!! 34800 Yen!! I was not expecting that. I'll assume it will be Shin's version of the 0A and not the "unknown pilot" CF. At least this will bring down the 0D and see if I can get a second one. August/September will be next to financially impossible to get this, huge expenses for me those months.
ErikElvis Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 What's the blurry red thing at the end of the table. And the battroid painting further down that doesn't look like a O?
chyll2 Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 What's the blurry red thing at the end of the table. And the battroid painting further down that doesn't look like a O? the red thing is probably the SD Getter 1. The painting that is not the 0 might be the art for SD getter
EXO Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 What's the blurry red thing at the end of the table. And the battroid painting further down that doesn't look like a O? SD Getter 1. Is that a dish on a fighter VF-0 down at the bottom?
hal9000 Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 SD Getter 1. Is that a dish on a fighter VF-0 down at the bottom? I don't think so, you can see wing and missiles over that "dish". I think it's another display stand for something obscured by all the 0 goodness.
EXO Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 I don't think so, you can see wing and missiles over that "dish". I think it's another display stand for something obscured by all the 0 goodness. Yeah... looking at it again, the shadow of the "dish" is further than the zero fighter.
Froy Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 No! I'm out, call me when Arcadia is releasing VF-1/fast packs.
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) New from Mr K. Oooo it has some U/N Spacy kites decals... on the fighter cockpit nose and red light on the wing tip in battroid backpack far end (already said) ok, he's saying that's a fully colored 0A mold on the end but some are replying that's it's too white (not enough grey). he said it's looking white due to the photo having too much blue saturation making the grey whiter then it is, just as the vf-0d looked brighter on camera due to lighting and different in reality. he said to please wait as well (also said the prototype color may be adjusted) https://twitter.com/Mrk_arcadia/status/589003311350579200 Edited April 17, 2015 by davidwhangchoi
Gakken85 Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Do any of the VF-0's have dishes? like the Elint?
Ignacio Ocamica Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Here we go again with the brightness/saturation/shade of the color
