anime52k8 Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 I'm gonna be a dick and say I REALLY wish they would delay the release massively at the last second. I don't want to cancel my pre-order but I don't actually want one right now. Quote
Tober Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 ^ +1 I had my budget for the next few months laid out with the YF-19 coming in late April. Late March complicates things. And I'm totally over Titanfall. Quote
Mommar Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 I'm going to be a complete ass, I hope both of your budgets are SCREWED. I want this thing now. Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 I'm going to be a complete ass, I hope both of your budgets are SCREWED. I want this thing now. Lol. That's funny although I too want this delayed too Quote
xrentonx Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 My mind says YES but my wallet says NO! So conflicted... Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) yeah, i'm thinking of just getting two or three don't need 4. (still thinking...) Edited March 23, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote
xrentonx Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 I've been in for two since they announced it so I'm in a world of hurt this month Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) i have two pre-paid fully at biginjapan. and i have two at hlj... from the blk friday deal Edited March 23, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 if i end up keeping hlj's pair i will!! Quote
SaitouSad Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 i have two pre-paid fully at biginjapan. and i have two at hlj... from the blk friday deal 4?!...1 for each mode and 1 mint as backup? I sure hope you have display space for them. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 For some odd reason I thought I had (4) on pre-order as well. Thankfully I only have (3); (2) from the HLJ Black Friday sale and (1) from Hobby Search. On one hand I'm sad that I don't have that one more extra "thing" that I really don't need but on the other I'm happy to have that $ 300 or so back in my pocket. Meh, Macross-collector problems. -b.

Shukenzero Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Wasn't gonna grab this, but looks like come next week I'm gonna pick one up. Too many reasons not to hold back! Quote
Mommar Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 I'm very impressed with the number of YF-19's some of you have pre-ordered. Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Me too, but it's good that you guys buy so many at launch to show your support and have them displayed in all 3 modes. I'd like to wait for a price drop but I'm on full support for arcadia and hope they stick around for awhile. Quote
mechaninac Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 While the possibility always exists that the price could drop somewhat shortly after release, the fact that Arcadia's YF-19 is being manufactured to meet preorders means there'll likely be precious few extra units produced, too little to affect retail. Unless there are a lot, and I do mean a lot, of no-pays causing seller to sit on unsold stock, or Arcadia decides to produce a second run, I don't see the price going anywhere but up... just like what happened with Yamato's VF-4G.

I'd like to wait for a price drop but I'm on full support for arcadia and hope they stick around for awhile. Waiting for a price drop is why Arcadia is no longer mass-producing these things. Quote
Scream Man Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Im gobsmacked some of you can AFFORD more than 1! One is my toy budget for 2 months! Quote
anime52k8 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Im gobsmacked some of you can AFFORD more than 1! One is my toy budget for 2 months! that's exactly why I want more time! Quote
Mommar Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Nah, I'm not. We have some pretty successful people on this message board. At least, I'm hoping there aren't a lot of people willing to go into debt for them. All I ask for are some fleet photos. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Im gobsmacked some of you can AFFORD more than 1! One is my toy budget for 2 months! i agree with how you feel, these were announced last year and prepaid waaaaay back which gave me buffer time. the other two, i'm debating whether to keep or drop them. i actually don't think these other two hurt me because i had a lot of lead time to budget, but after the prophecy, the 29 ozma, and the tornado's were announced very close to each other, i began to think it may be good to drop one or maybe two of these extras preorders.

Abriel Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Has anyone received an email from Nippon-Yasan saying that "the product YF-19 will be soon in stock and that you can pay your order by ..."? I still haven't received any mails and since the release should be in a few days I find this strange. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 That's normal for Nippon-Yasan, they typically send out payment notices a week or so before the release date of pre-order items. -b. Quote
close313 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I think we still need to wait it out. I think stores still dont have the exact release date yet so thats why NY haven't sent you a payment request. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Whoops sorry, I misunderstood - I thought that you meant they had sent out a payment request. Well hopefully soon, the 30th is the date I'm thinking of. -b. Quote
M'Kyuun Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Most likely...stretch it out to the very end. I keep checking my email looking for the ship notice from HLJ. Really looking forward to this, and hope it's at least as solid as their VF-19. Quote
spanner Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 is there supposed to be a specific date for the actual release of the YF-19?? Or just some time in April..? The wait if is like running a razor blade over my foresk.. Quote
CrazyDude Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Most Japanese makers do release stuff on same day of the month, Wave is 15th and Bandai is 25th. Not sure about Arcadia. Quote
close313 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 There's not much of March left. Hope its released soon as im having second thoughts of spending so much cash XD. I had enough of spending so much for a valk after my super VF-17D. Quote
Shukenzero Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 No news on the release? Maybe it'll be mid April? Quote
Tober Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I thought the point of moving the release date forward was to get it out before some tax thing in April,..? Quote
IXTL Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I thought the point of moving the release date forward was to get it out before some tax thing in April,..? To avoid the sales tax hike from 5% to 8% starting in April. Quote

I had enough of spending so much for a valk after my super VF-17D. hehe! no second thoughts here.. I just want it NOW Arcadia!!! I am an extremely impatient person at the best of times.. Quote
