Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) Well, BiJ has responded to my query. Their answer is as follows: Big in Japan is officially the least expensive source for acquiring the VF-0 (AE's price is the same but they require EMS on this), with a total delivered price of 32380 yen; however, there is a caveat, they require immediate payment of the full amount upfront because it exceeds 20000 yen. thanks for confirming, for some reason they never responded to my message but that's what i figured that the page wasn't updated once they introduced fedex. i think i'm going to take the plunge with them soon.

What's that rectangular hole near the intake decal on the side of the main engine intake? For attaching reactive armor perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) What's that rectangular hole near the intake decal on the side of the main engine intake?It's ugly. But yes, I suppose it's for the armor. I just wish they'd come up with a better way of attaching the armor, because that hole being that deep, and that dark (as if it goes clear through the side of the intake) is kind of distracting in such an obvious place. Yamato/Arcadia are usually pretty good about blending things like that so they either look like they're supposed to be panel lines, or at least shallow enough that they dont stick out... but no.. that just looks like a hole in the intake.

wmkjr Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 What's that rectangular hole near the intake decal on the side of the main engine intake? For attaching reactive armor perhaps? My guess is for the armor. Got holes on the bottom of the legs to match that one. I thought it was for the fast packs but it's on both sides of the legs.

Valkyrie addict Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 If its for the reactive armor, I hope they do something similar to the way the VF-17 leg fast packs attack on a slot that pushes a a filler tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the head up, now to decide should i get 1 or 2. "davidwhangchoi" thanks for informing about the Fedex economy shipping service from Biginjapan, my mind was so stuck at their EMS only statement.

Yeah, the more I look at it, the less I like it. I think I'd rather not have the reactive armor at all if that's the best they can do. Maybe someone here can make a plug for it.

Gakken85 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Screw it. I'll just throw em on imgur. haha Looks like the leg bits snap on. No magnets sadly. Love the red in contrast to the lighter blue/white whatever it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Pretty sure it's still attaching via magnet, in the front at the very least. The slot in the back would make sure it was aligned properly after the magnet took hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmkjr Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Interesting. The upper mini triangles on the outer lower legs are hollow. Maybe the slot on the lower legs are for both Fast pack and (guesstimating) Outer leg armor connection points with maybe the inner+rear leg armor attaching via the rear leg locking slot for fighter and the lower inner slot . I liked that magnet setup though. Edit: Looks like I haven't looked at my Yammies in awhile as they also have the slots in the lower legs though not as deep looking as the Arcadia version. The Fast Packs use those lower slots as a guide as they have a tab built in. One thing I noticed the Arcadia version has is what looks like two guide slots on the backpack thrusters flaps (maybe I'm just tired from too much gawking).

spanner Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) C'mon Arcadia.. the gun pod needs the holes for the strap.. might have to whip the Dremel out for this baby when she arrives! And.. I notice that she has the gap fillers for behind the knees when in Fighter mode where the Zero-D does not.. (apologies if this has been noticed already.. im not flicking through all the previous pages again..)

seti88 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) if the gun hooks to the arm via magnet then there is hope the tanks do too? btw hope its only production pics but pls arcadia fix the gap on top when its on fighter mode... http://s786.photobucket.com/user/ultimatekuuga51/media/TOYNEWS2015/MACROSS2015/1-60_MACROSS_ZERO_VF-OA_PHEONIX_KUDOUSHIN_32CM_14_AUG2015_ARCADIA_37584.jpg.html?sort=9&o=5 edit* looks like other promo pics of fighter mode gap is not there Edited May 18, 2015 by seti88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 It would be nice if they included the little holes in the gun pod to mount the gun strap.. something I noticed that is missing from the Zero-D.. Did the 0D have the straps? Why does this have to be in August. october, November i could have swung it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) That's some kind of funky decal voodoo going on there with the intake markings... they put them on right over the top of the slot. Maybe with that hole there they'll be a little more careful about aligning the tampo? Also, does anyone know if those little triangles to cover the backs of the knees fold in or something? Otherwise, how the heck are the arms supposed to get past those? They barely lift high enough on the 0D to avoid scraping all the paint off the underside of the wing glove (where the original was molded in color ) And why would you even fold them out in battroid? I can't even begin to imagine why they thought those are necessary. Edited May 18, 2015 by Chronocidal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechapilot77 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 this thing is just looking better and better. kinda wonder if i should keep my old unknown soldier vf-0a. Would it be a nice contrast as the "canon fodder" variant vs. Shin's "custom" 0A or will they look too different together. i've already decide te old 0S is getting replaced though...i'll probably have that up in the sales thread as soon as i get around to finding the darn instructions for it. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
