1/60 Yamato VF-4G Web-Exclusive Toy

[charger69]

Pre-ordered from NY with pay later option

(VF-19P should wait a little bit)

[M!CK]

What about amiami? Possible better price?

[marthf1]

I did select 'I would pre-order but I'm not sure I can afford it,' but that Nippon-Yasan pre-order enticed me with it's payment options. Meh, the issue I had during the poll was the total including shipping, but overseas is overseas, I guess. Oh well, it's in & now it's the waiting game. Boooo....

I like how it didn't want to trip the 400 point, hah hah. Must be the whole -99 versus -00 marketing thing.

I went ahead and bit on Nippon-Yasan as well. At $400 with shipping I couldn't justify more than one like I thought I would though. After seeing the number for real on screen I couldn't pull the trigger on two.

[derex3592]

Dear Lord help me....preordered with the Nippon Yasan link. Pay later option. Most expensive Valk I've ordered!

[Phalanix]

EMS was actually cheaper than SAL registered air mail. LOL

Pre-ordered at NY as well.

[raptormesh]

They are pretty smart to put it up for pre-order before the other retailers do.

That's what I was thinking too.

[eyesonme78]

i presume most of us ordered at NY?

[Froy]

How secure is NY? Just in case I don't make contact whit my friend in Japan.

[wm cheng]

Thanks for the heads up ... just pre-ordered with NY - even though its one of my fabourite valkyrie designs, I probably wouldn't have done it if I hadn't missed out all those Bandai MF valks! I guess Bandai's stupidity is good for Yamato.

If HLJ comes out with it, is there any penalties in cancelling with NY? Do I just not pay up within that 2-3 week prior window and let the order lapse?

Is there a more definite estimated release date other than December 2012?

They're great.

[eyesonme78]

They're great.

second that

[Mommar]

second that

I'll third it. I've had no troubles with them yet.

[usagiz]

Pre ordered! I can't believe shipping is so high, the box will be normal yamato size!? Now to reprioritize my other yamato pre orders, or which will be on sale by 2013??

[Valkyrie23]

Thanks for the heads up, guys. Preordered 1 myself with Nippon Yasan. If HLJ opens up a preorder, I might order a 2nd one from them.

[Hikuro]

And someone at NY is going "how the hell did we just get 1,000 orders in 6 hours?"

Gotta say, 400 bucks is hard to justify when this won't be much bigger than the vf-1. But it is a holy grail next to yamatos Sdf1.

[raptormesh]

Pre-ordered one from NY as well, seems like the price point isn't much of a deterrent for most of us.

[CoreyD]

Just ordered one from NY.

Hope it gets to me, since they don't seem to have Washington, DC listed...

[auberondreaming]

In for one, NY, pay before the release date. 399.01 shipped to US. Yikes, time to set some money aside every month!

[ErikElvis]

Just preordered 2 at NY. That total was ridiculous.

The shipping was higher for my 171 as well, they asked if I wanted an automatic upgrade to Fed Ex later once the item was about to ship otherwise I could get a credit on another Macross item. So it's high now but you might be able to angle it to your liking later.

[jvmacross]

So no payment is being requested right now by Yamato?

[Ignacio Ocamica]

Just preordered

[Mommar]

As far as I can tell we've all pre-ordered via Nippon-Yasan and they haven't required payment yet. I can't speak about Yamato proper.

Just preordered

How many?

[Roy's Blues]

I ordered one from NY.

399 shipped is a bit high, but it's a VF-4...

[Murphy]

As far as I can tell we've all pre-ordered via Nippon-Yasan and they haven't required payment yet. I can't speak about Yamato proper.

I hope if Yamato wants payment now, NY has the common courtesy to alert its customers.

[Twoducks]

Was getting two, saw the total and decided to cancel half the order and just get one... for now.

[Froy]

Ok, just placed an order on NY, just in case.

[Kyp Durron]

Place my order with NY as well.

[ps99042]

Took me a while to click the "confirm order" button after seeing the total but I still feel like I NEED this thing. Now I gotta figure out what toys to sell from my collection.

Two!! You don't want to know the total shipped to South America

[Hikuro]

I just got approved on a credit card last week, but the total on this would be nearly at my limit and that's no beuno.

I get it's LE and such, 250 I think should of been the asking price not 350. That just tells Yamato we will pay any price if it's sought after and this is in that category.

[SpaceCowboy]

Man, this is really getting to my tipping point. I had it in my NY cart - and was about to purchase, and I saw $400 and I'm like "man, this is stupid". I dunno...I think it might be time to get out of the valk collecting business. It was ridiculous when it was $150-$250, but I could still justify it. Let's put this in perspective - for a $100 more, I just bought a 3D printer. I realize everyone has different tipping points, I'll probably still get one...maybe...but damn...at that price, I really have to think about it.

[Jeremy007]

just ordered 1 from NY and used the pre-order payment plan. $399 shipped is a lot but i was expecting it to be worse. Release date is Dec. so thats plenty of time to set aside $400 for this figure.
