    Not yet IIRC but expect it to be over 13200yen before preorder discounts/shipping because if it’s in relative scale to the HI METAL R VF-1/2SS/4, it’s going to be substantially bigger all around.

    Whoa, I'd pick this one up. I don't have a lot of attachment to the VF-0S, and the Arcadia version is a lot of money for a possibly flawed design. This one will be hopefully more reasonable, and I hope it has a slick transformation too.

    What’s wrong with the Arcadia version? As far as I’m concerned, it’s the best built Valkyrie toy not counting the OG Chunky.

    is the shade of blue different or is it just the lighting?

    My bad - memory failed and it was the Arcadia 0A and 0D that had the spontaneous leg falling off issues. They fixed it for the 0S releases.

    Thank you for the reboot prompt!
