Although my 0A hasn't had any issues, I can't help but feel it's only a matter of time till the leg breaks. I'd like a fixed version, but I'm wary of buying this and then Arcadia announcing a PF edition right after.

i want to know the differences between the new redesigned legs vs. the original.

Well, at least it comes with leg armor.

I’m getting one for sure. I missed the first release and Zero are my favorite valks, VF and SVs.

I was lucky to get a hold of PF VF-0's. I am glad to hear that they are refining the VF-0 line. I wish Arcadia would be a bit more inventive. Didn't the Yamato VF-0A come with stickers for a "What if" VF-1 Wolf Pack?  Tampo print that on molded grey and I'll be looking into Pre-orders. The Master File series always inspires a bit on squadron liveries but I haven't seen a version of VF-143 Pukin Dogs. On the Tomcat, it looks good either high or low viz...just sayin'

I gotta say that Battroid image really sells me on another one of these.  But I want a PF version, unfortunately my eyesight makes carving decals with an xacto extremely difficult these days.

missed the PO on this revised release.  Anywhere I can get it now? BBTS is charging a lot for it.

 

[Winterstar_343]

So the "leg falls off if you look at it funny" thing eas more or less fixed with the VF-0S, yes?

So theoretically that shouldn't be an issue with the upcoming VF-0A reissue.

Were there any other glaring issues not addressed with the VF-0S "update"? Do the intakes tab in better on the VF-OS as compared to the orginal 0A?

0A reissue delayed to May/25, per hlj...

Wouldn't be surprised if it gets delayed a few months more. The Hikaru and Focker strike valks have been pushed till July and those have been in preorder for like a year(?).

Over a year since the original scheduled release date, about a year and a half since the preorders first opened. I thought that their recent offerings of new preorders like the VF-0 here was a good sign that they were over their production delays and ready to ship these, but I guess not. It's been what, three, going on closer to four years since they've actually released a figure at all?

Just got this notice from HLJ. Maybe these are being released sooner than later? Release date says 5/20/2025…

[treatment]

Yup.  Confirmed on their website as well.

Hope it doesn't get delayed again...

[Phangry]

I just got charged for mine at HLJ. Glad to finally be able to get it in hand (soon).

Confirmed on mine, too.

Waiting on other stuff to do shipping...

 

 

[Sanity is Optional]

Anime Export got mine, only $32 to ship via small packet to California.

Hope the tariffs aren't too bad...

[Angesdad]

Does anyone have recommendations for a decent third party waterslide decal to replace the sticker sheet it comes with?

[betocc]

This one was announced after 1/60 VF1S Roy and Hikaru and it has been released before them, funny.

I recently purchased and got delivered an order from AmiAmi by registered air small packet. No tariffs were charged. Country of origin marked as Japan even though the items were made in China. From what I've read, it appears many of the shops in Japan have been doing the same. At least as of now, the $800 de minimis exemption is still good for Japan and was only eliminated effective May 2 for packages from China/Hong Kong.

Try aliexpress. There should be a couple for the 0s. I think i tried them both over the years. Not the best, not the worst, definitely better than any stickers.

[MKT]

Great news the 0A is out relatively on-time. The Vf-1S reissues still nowhere to be seen though, hopefully Arcadia gets past the final bumps soon and announce the other long delayed items.

[daBlah!]

HobbySearch took payment for the 0A today so glad to see it'll be shipping soon.

[davidwhangchoi]

any reviews yet?

i'd like to see the changes that were mentioned by the waist/legs that the vf-0 armor is no longer compatible with this valk.
