I was thinking a Millia red 0D or 0A as a exclusive to pair with the Max 0S... If the reactive armour ends up being an exclusive, it will be such a bastard move, but a move so very... ...Bandai. So you might be right. Edited November 29, 2023 by Raikkonen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 Some Japanese stores are probably going to limit this to just 1. Hoping I can preorder 3 at the same store tomorrow night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a higher price than the Japanese sites, but at least there’s no shipping and the VF-0s was easy to find at Hobby Town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lately I have been getting some stuff from Nin-nin game, so far no problems. https://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/hi-metal-r/110112-hi-metal-r-macross-zero-vf-0a-phoenix-vf-0a-phoenixqf-2200d-b-ghost-shin-kudo-use-ver-bandai-spirits-.html Although link is up they won't take orders before 4 PM JST.

Chronocidal Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) Glad I grabbed doubles of the VF-0S, since this one's clearly not getting any of the normal missiles. Edited December 1, 2023 by Chronocidal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice observation. Somehow obvious stuff that should be included are not, but stuff nobody asked for are, like that alternate head lasers for the 0S.

"Thou shalt not include any accessory not explicitly seen on-screen (unless it's something non-canon that someone on our design team thinks looks better)." No TV Missiles with Movie VF-1s, no movie missiles with TV versions, and none at all if you didn't see it animated. Whole reason I had to make weapon hardpoints for my HMR VF-1D, they didn't even give it the hardpointed wings. At least they had the decency to put them on the DX version.

Guyffon Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Nin-nin dropped the price to 14960 yen and thus was a no brainer for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, forgot they have a Yen option, if I'd waited and paid in yen could have saved $16 across 2 of them. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Wow, I'm impressed that AmiAmi still had these available, I just pre-ordered one. Ok Bandai, you have no excuse now NOT to make a VF-0A Cannon Fodder variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems orders stopped pretty quickly. I got back super-late from a business trip last night and managed to snag one from HLJ, which I didn't think would happen. Landed at the airport, dashed through the terminal, took the shuttle to where my car was parked, and got to it a few minutes before PO Madness started. Refreshed the HLJ site a few times on my phone, the 0A showed up, got cart jacked three times (HLJ tradition), but still somehow managed to get a PO. Thank goodness for 5G service. Would have stayed in the terminal to do it, but the cell and wifi reception there is terrible. This was too important to leave to chance.

sh9000 Posted December 1, 2023 Author Share Posted December 1, 2023 Nin-Nin had the best price last night. The price has now slightly increased. They also have a pay later until 5/14/24 option and private warehouse type feature. Items come bubble wrapped and protected. If their limit was 3 then I would have ordered all 3 there. I expect the 2 that I ordered to come in good condition. I don't expect the one I ordered from HLJ to have a good condition box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s certain nostalgia on the triumph & disappointments with Macross pre-order nights. With WWM these days, these pre-order stories are getting to be few & far in between lol.

Purchasing from a US seller means a significant markup (courtesy of our friends at Bandai) and waiting at least two more months for delivery, but at some point I'm going to tell myself that I'm getting too old for PO Madness. There is a bit of a triumph/disappointment nostalgia feeling, plus it keeps my skills sharp for purchasing non-WWM items! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
