Special Sauce

I thought they already sold there's so that's good. Another option.

Ready for a late night. Good luck everyone!

Looks like the bar is bent too but it could just be the angle of the photo. Where did you buy it?

Is Nin-Nin a good place to PO from? Just wondering if anyone has ordered from them before and if they had a good experience?

Sorry, I see you meant the just the armor parts set not the full figure and armor set package. My bad.

I just looked and it doesn't show that it can be purchased.

Ok cool, hopefully I can score next week

Does anyone know if Okiniland put up the full set of the GBP armor with the VF-1J or just the armor?

There was a coupon for ¥2000. I wonder if a lot of people started using that so they upped the price because of it.

Haha thanks for the fix

Yeah that's what I figured. Hopefully they're not on too tight. Agreed. I'll have to see if I'm lucky enough to get the full set for PO

Thanks @jvmacross I appreciate the info. I'll use that advice

We really are in a golden age of toy collecting. So many great options.

That's true. I'm assuming the heads come off easily? I only just got my Roy and Hikaru VF-1S's. Haven't had a chance to play with them yet.

The VF-1D might look kinda sweet in that armor though if it could fit.

Man I'm a Godzilla fan and I love the look of the SHMA line. My wallet can only take so much pain though LOL. Now I can't unsee the beak! I like the sleeker look of the DX though. Just personal preference. I think they both have their good attributes.

I can understand that. Especially since it'll probably take 6 months or more before you receive it.

Are the lower legs on the Arcadia shorter because its more accurate. It almost looks like they shouldn't be that short but maybe I'm just used to looking at the longer legs of the Bandai DX and Yamato versions.

How much cheaper would you really be able to get it anyway? Maybe $40-$50 less? If it relieves you of the anxiety of having to F5 then maybe it's worth the little extra $$$

That makes more sense. I see what you're saying now. Still, considering the pandemic, I would have expected a long wait.

Wow I didn't realize it would ship that quickly (pandemic aside). I'm used to pre-ordering and waiting months, sometimes over a year before getting an item.

Me as well. I just want 1 so keeping my fingers crossed I can get it.

Honestly $40-$60 isn't so bad compared to if I have to get it on the secondary market. Scalpers will want their pound of flesh. So is there a time frame from when you pre-order to when you actually get the item shipped to you? I'm certainly no stranger to waiting for pre-orders so I'm just curious about how quickly Bandai gets their products out the door to customers as compared to other collectibles I've pre-ordered from other companies.

Definitely! Got plenty of alcohol in the bar so I'm stocked and ready LOL Also, what's the shipping situation with places like anime export etc.? Will they ship to the USA? I'm assuming I have to choose a certain shipping option to ensure that I'm able to place the order.

Will do @vladykins thanks! I'm used to this kind of PO stuff from other things I've collected. My F5 refresh key has been through many battles LOL.
