But in the process, I notice that if I use the USD price listed by the website, I will pay over 65 USD more than the Yen price (including EMS shipping). My credit card exchange rate is nothing special, so HLJ's exchange rate is really bad. Always pay in Yen. Quote
Lolicon Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Paypal, HLJ, Bandai, etc. use a crappier exchange rate and pocket the difference if you pay in another currency. Like the above post said: always pay in yen. If you buy a lot of stuff from Japan, it's best to use a CC that has zero foreign transaction fees. Quote

Mine got delivered today, and bummer indeed that it's not a flip-top box anymore. I skipped the original Arcadia release due to the fatal leg issue and the reactive-armor since I wasn't a fan of it, so I'll be waiting on your or some others' review(s) regarding the "new hips-joint" or something that makes this reissue incompatible with the reactive-armor that Mr.K had stated before... edit: dogfighter, desu...

brooklynmacross Posted May 29 Posted May 29 Hey guys, anyone interested in a recently released (duh) VF-0A? I only opened it to inspect it (everything is great). Never transformed. I only bought as a double since I did not want to cancel my orders at HLJ. $315 and free shipping. I only ship to the states (I can provide photos, just pm me.) 🤩 Quote

Lolicon Posted Monday at 10:25 PM Posted Monday at 10:25 PM Received my copy. Just on a cursory glance it looks like instead of a single slot on the leg (near the foot) for the attachments, there are now two slots above and below the center line. Probably why the armor parts will no longer fit. Quote
Chronocidal Posted Monday at 10:58 PM Posted Monday at 10:58 PM That's a weird change, did they have to re-engineer the leg packs to stay on better? Quote
rsvictor1976 Posted Monday at 11:47 PM Posted Monday at 11:47 PM @treatment Are you able to tell what they changed to make the leg secure from popping off? Quote

I don't have the orignal, so I don't exactly know what they had changed. That said, after putting my VF-0A reissue thru several deformation forms and back last weekend, I'm glad to say that it did not give me that fatal hip/leg separation issue that @jenius and lots of others had unfortunately experienced and reported with their originals. So, knock on wood, that is! The only issue I did found was that, just like the original Arcadia release, the Yamato QF-2200D Ghost ordnances do not really fit it at all, as widely reported by reviewers. Dammit, Arcadia! You could've totally fixed that issue in this re-issue since you don't seem to have any plans for your own QF-2200D Ghost-releases. That said, however, I'm really very very satisfied with this reissue. Edited Tuesday at 02:27 AM by treatment Quote
brooklynmacross Posted Wednesday at 09:06 PM Posted Wednesday at 09:06 PM My thread has been approved! If anyone is interested in the extra VF-0As I have here is the link (lots of photos) Quote
