MKT Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Pic from Sajmay Lau. Obviously lighting affects some, but the colour tone of the 0A looks more like the older Yammies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted May 25 Author Share Posted May 25 My order from HLJ shipped. I'll have to wait for Nin-Nin-Game since their listing says 5/27. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Shin's HMR has a heavy Yamato color scheme influence with a Dash of Hasegawa's. While I do think it looks good (And I'm looking forward to getting mine), I would have preferred the Arcadia 0A color scheme as that is straight from the anime.

jenius Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Maybe now that this is out, Arcadia will finally be allowed to do a reissue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKT Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I'm relooking at the blister packaging again, and it's great Bandai managed to squeeze the Ghost in there without increasing the packaging size from previous two VF-0s. But definitely need lots of care when opening, parts will definitely fly out since everything so tightly packed together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do is turn it upside-down. Open it from the bottom tray, that way it's just going to fall on the top tray. Just have to take photo first so I know where to put the items back.

Yep it's interesting how much time it takes to get to the US. 2 arriving today and 1 tomorrow. Looks like between HLJ and Nin-Nin-Game for me Nin-Nin-Game with Fedex wins. 2 day shipping to the US.

Raikkonen Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 (edited) Well, technically mine is 47 hours 😅 but I went accordingly to the days. Shipped Monday arrived today. Now, what is sad, is Amazon Germany, 6 hours drive from me... can take 4-5 days. Go figure. lol While Amazon US, 5-6 days across the ocean. 😅 Edited May 29 by Raikkonen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raikkonen Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 @MKT Review much later. Love it. But there a few fails and advice I'll share. Definitely epico overall. Here's some pics for now. The underneath of the Ghost... massive fail for the obvious reason... Got him to stand on fluffy blanket with no issues while holding the ghost with no other support!!! Just Epic!!!

So far, the only complaint is Bandai really missing the opportunity to make the Ghost independent with landing gears, articulated canards & sensor eye. They already did 90% of the work, just need that extra 10%. Times like these just make one appreciate Yamato's more & more. 3 hours ago, Mommar said: Posing in Battroid isn't much fun with those wings out. I would agree. It'll look swoopy and have presence in pics, but will be quite limiting during play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already did 90% of the work, just need that extra 10%. Times like these just make one appreciate Yamato's more & more. Yet they articulated the thruster on a ball joint. So there were some kind of initial intentions. The omitted different modes parts is a massive missed opportunity to release the ghost on it's own as a 2 pack. 2 hours ago, MKT said: I would agree.

If we look at just after the 3 minute mark, the knee allows the lower leg to bend backwards 90 degrees. If not mistaken, the legs on previous VF-0 releases can’t bend that far, and if so, Bandai made this stealth change for the 0A.
