Recommended Posts

On amazon US's site now for $110 + tax, free ship, seller is interestingly amazon Japan.

Edit: Amazon.jp won't ship to US if you buy from amazon.jp. They will however ship it to US if you buy from amazon.com. So weird.

Something weird is happening at Mandarake. For longest time the 0S is sitting at Yen 11k, and 0D at Yen12k respectively. Then last week, new available listings of them went up by Yen 1k each, which I assume to be the prices having turned the corner, but then I find it has been retrospectively applied to all the sold listings in their other stores too. For eg, the 0S being at Yen 11k sold at their multiple stores, is now suddenly Yen 12k sold in all of them.

Has anyone who placed a stateside pre-order not received their VF-0D yet?

I pre-ordered from Galactic Toys and Games. I reached out to them via e-mail and they said they were still expecting the figure but they did not have an ETA. They did say they'd be willing to provide a refund. I see it's in stock at Amazon and other places, but for more than I paid. I actually ordered a bunch of modeling supplies from them near the end of last year and they all were delivered, so it's not like they're scammers. But I find it odd that they haven't received their VF-0Ds when many other US vendors have.

Would be nice to think that SDFM/DYRL Bandai stuff would sell for less than the cost of buying straight from Japan...too bad we'll never know

The last SDFM/DYRL valks I was able to get at or below retail was during Yamato's heyday. Too bad indeed that that won't ever happen for Bandai valks (even Arcadia now). 

But being able to get these HMR Mac Zero valks below $100 is a godsend for me since the Arcadia ones were way out of my price range. I had given up on having a MacZero collection after selling off my old Yamato ones. I can't wait for the HMR VF-0A w/ ghost to add to my 0S and 0D, even if they're not 1/60 scale.

Custom HMR VF-0D in standard production color by Bryan Tang.

God, I wish the regular Hi-Metal R VF-0 toys came with a fraction of the stickers I see that this custom has added.  I guess maybe I can hope that Arcadia will re-release the 1/60 scale VF-0's with WWM and competitive pricing too!

Arcadia with competitve pricing?

Yeah, a first release 1/60 scale VF-0D goes for 50000 yen used, where as most DX Chogokin from Bandai are 22000-30000 yen.

I know/realize that Arcadia is smaller and therefore doesn’t have the profit margin to make things lower priced, but one could hope that if Arcadia can sell outside of Japan, more production numbers might mean more profits for them.  I can dream…..

I guess we will find out

Beautiful custom

Bandai should milk the VF-0D mold at least once and release an official version.
