I’ll wait to see if my second proxy has any luck. Cheaper to buy 4 that way, rather than paying (an admittedly small) markup on each one individually.
-
I think I put in my order when the link post here was about 4min old?
-
Yup, I suspect FromJapan only has a small number of (maybe just 1) accounts with P-Bandai they order from. Quantity per account limit looks to be 6. The item isn't sold out on the P-Bandai website, so you just need to find another seller or proxy.
-
FromJapan is a proxy, not a store. We placed a request for them to purchase the items on our behalf, and they reached the limit to how many they could order. I'm sure Nippon Yasan (and others) will put it up eventually, but I always prefer proxy to NY.
-
Nice, I assume you put in your order right as the listing went up?
-
Yup, cancelled as well. And this is why I absolutely don't want DX Chogokin P-Bandai stuff. It's more trouble to order than the actual retail release valks. Tried placing an order via a second proxy, we'll see how that works.
-
Don’t have the receipt handy for my Bandai order, but P-Bandai orders absolutely do charge extra for domestic shipping, it’s not included like it is for Arcadia apparently.
-
IIRC, the domestic shipping will be a few hundred (600?) yen, plus the 300yen or 700yen service fee, plus the international shipping. For my prior order of 4x DYRL supers, I had them shipped alongside 3 other things from p-Bandai (2 RG crossbones, a MG heavy arms, and a RG nu funnel set) via EMS and it was just shy of 14000yen.
-
Yup, just paste the item URL into the search bar.
-
Alright, Charge 1 paid at FromJapan. Here's hoping they didn't run out of order QTY.
-
Sweet. Hope FromJapan can em for me.
-
Pre order Japan's Sunday 5th? Wonder how long we have to wait.
-
It's nice they included an adapter to attach it to the special stand.
-
Yup, TV Super parts on a 1S. Super part set, not a package with a VF-1S.
-
Well, the stream's started. They even have Tenjin there. Now we wait for the reveal.
-
So far I've got 2 of everything that's been released. 4 DYRL strike packs, 6 missile sets, 3 Roys on pre-order and 1 Kakizaki on pre-order. The real issue is finding places to display all this stuff.
-
Web exclusives are no longer easy purchases, what with proxies reaching order limit so quickly.
-
Just wait for the potential grey-goggle release? Or get a Hikaru 1S for like $250 right now.

Arcadia 1/60 Perfect Transformation VF-0D for 2015

Same, the neck doesn't feel like it can collapse at all. The arms are super tight as well. -
Arcadia 1/60 Perfect Transformation VF-0D for 2015
Sanity is Optional replied to Dark_Ghost's topic in Toys
Couldn’t on my PF 0D, and I tried for quite a while. The neck cover under the head blocks it. and yeah, need some Yetistands badly, I can barely fit 2 valks per detolf shelf right now, and only with certain modes. -
Yup, that's definitely supers and red-tipped missiles. So presumably TV supers. Maybe the reaction missiles are the replacement for the missing strike cannon so they can charge the same price?
-
Going to be honest, the Yamato looks like crap in fighter mode. The Arcadia is just about anime accurate in fighter mode, and pretty good in Gerwalk/Battroid. The Bandai has lots of excess tampo and markings everywhere, is good in all 3 modes, but is best in Battroid. Also has good articulation and lots of extras. In short, if you want a good YF-19 it's a choice between Arcadia and Bandai, while Yamato sits and cries in a corner.

He could always poke some of the local Macross collectors, there's definitely several of us close by.
-
Ebay is almost never reasonably priced, same for US Amazon.
-
The closer we get to release, the more the scalpers are going to be trying to unload, before they actually have to pay out for their pre-orders. There's a big difference between holding and selling a pre-order for pure profit vs actually paying for a product and having to store and ship it, plus having money tied up in inventory.
