    Exactly. It's not a slightly mis-colored $15 Hasbro deluxe. It's a completely-wrong $300 valk. Way too much money to think "it looks nothing like it should" every time I see it on the shelf.

    Yup.

    The stupidly expensive pricing plus the wrong coloring does not equal valk happiness...

    Yeah, for a much cheaper toy I'd probably just live with the color.
    For $300 I don't want to look at my VF-0 Shin and think "Max".
    This is probably the most petty I've ever been with a Macross toy. :lol 

    Anyway, I'm still very eager to read and hear reveiws of this so I know what to expect from the upcoming A & S versions. Still not sure which of those I'm getting yet.

    I'll still keep my VF-0D. Gotta support Arcadia. Don't want them to go bankrupt or anything.

    I want Shin's 0A because the time it was released before was with 50% prone to breakages and 50% reportedly okay.

    This time around should be much better.

    That SD VF-1 by FansMakeToys blows away any SD Toynami ever made. It's like a modern Joke Machine.

    I'm happy with the 0D, color be damned.

    That's not to say that I'll buy ANOTHER 0D with the correct colors either! :D

    Well I canceled my preorder. I wanted the corrected blue because it's different and I think it just looks better on that design. They should just rename it to Max and then try again later with the correct shade of blue.
