Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Nice! I wonder what's their shipping like. Never used them before. it was 4700yen EMS, to nj, usa (says just an estimate and will adjust up or down once product is in stock) it's a bit cheaper than nippon yasan's shipping quote Quote
SaitouSad Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) it was 4700yen EMS, to nj, usa (says just an estimate and will adjust up or down once product is in stock) it's a bit cheaper than nippon yasan's shipping quote thanks. I didn't realize they gave est shipping hahah I'm from Singapore, so I'm weighing my options. They don't seem to do SAL Reg for the price of the item (because it cost more), or I could be reading it wrong. Last time, Amiami sent my Yamato YF-19 at 2900 yen with SAL Reg. Given the difference in discount, I might just stick with BiginJapan. Also, strangely enough, their EMS rate is cheaper than SAL Reg! Do they usually have issues with fulfilling orders?

Dark_Ghost Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) As for the VF-1J 30th anniversary, Arcadia has created a dedicated website for the YF-19 : http://arcadia.ac/yf19/index.php wallpaper : 2560*1600, 1920*1440, 1920*1200, 1280*960, 1024*768, 800*600, 640*480 Edited October 4, 2013 by Dark_Ghost Quote

Thanks for the tip. I think with EMS, it should be relatively safe. Worse case scenario, I don't get it. At least my money is guaranteed since EMS covers loss. I'm alright with late orders as long as they get it out at all hahahah. Looks like this just took out my entire toy budget for April Quote
mechaninac Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Total at Big in Japan comes to 30 950¥ with EMS (no SAL option, registered or otherwise), and because its more than 20000¥ they want immediate payment... so, no sale. I may decide to go with HLJ, hassle free cancelations if necessary, but I'll wait to see what HS charges before committing, if I even decide to buy this at all. Quote
SaitouSad Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Up on Hobby Search for 29,520 yenhttp://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10246266 Quote
Loop Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Up on Hobby Search for 29,520 yen http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10246266 Same price as HLJ, wonder who ships cheaper? Quote

kurdt_the_goat Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Made to order that retains discounts at external stores is win-win for everyone, a great step for Arcadia! Quote
Loop Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Ended up getting 2x @ HLJ. Can't wait for this one to come out! Quote
Kyp Durron Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Up on Amiami for 28,980 yen! http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-002551&page=top Still up, got it. Yeah, Monday, Oct 7 my ass... -Kyp Quote
Dark_Ghost Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 The sale of the YF-19 Monday, Oct. 7, this concerns the arcadia web shop Quote
Kyp Durron Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 The sale of the YF-19 Monday, Oct. 7, this concerns the arcadia web shop I stand corrected, then. -Kyp Quote
Scyla Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Ordered one from HLJ. I kinda hope for a new YF-21, new VF-11B and a X-9 Ghost drone so I have a "complete" Macross Plus collection. The old YF-21 is covered with Max' VF-22S and I hope I can secure a VF-11C for the old VF-11 mold. Quote
Chewie Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I owned the original blue 1/72 for about a month. The only valk I own now is a V1 Yamato VF-1J. I preordered from HLJ. This is my favorite Valkyrie and I am excited. =) Quote
AlphaOne Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Just nabbed 2 of these from HLJ, went with FedEx (first time with this method). Any pros or cons compared to EMS? Quote

Ignacio Ocamica Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Ordered two at HLJ!!! April can't come soon enough. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) I stand corrected, then. -Kyp kyp, at the time when Arcadia was being purposely hush saying at any moment they will give a date for pre-orders, this was the first actual solid date coming from Mr. K's twitter re: the web shop, kyekye posted the shops in Japan are opening today and it was unknown at the time if the international shops that sell exports outside of Japan like hlj, amiami, nippon yasan would open up today or wait till Oct 7th when Arcadia begins taking their "built to orders". With the vf-4g, hlj and several shops opened at a later date after yamato online shop's starting to take pre-orders in fact, at a way later date, so we weren't expecting much. HLJ opening the first night was a big surprise! so sorry about that the good news is: this is built to order so there's no rush during the pre-order window.

Raya1823 Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Ha!!! I pre-orded as well, but I'm thinking about getting another one. :D Quote
Horatio Positronic Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I got my preorder in! Very happy day since I missed preorders for all of the last few Bandai Valkyries I care about (VF-171, and all the Renewal versions).Now April can't come fast enough! Quote
usagiz Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Preordered! And plenty of time to save up, nice! Quote
Mizicke5273 Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Just finished my preorder with HLJ for 2x. Might see about saving up for a third if possible. Quote

wm cheng Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Went through NY - there's gotta be more than 3,500Y difference before the customs & duties from AmiAmi or HLJ even out for us in Canada. Shipping is pretty expensive for this though. NY has it for 5,000 registered SAL, 5,400 EMS & 5,600 FedEx - I chose 5,400 EMS since its so close in price to registered SAL anyways, but EMS will arrive via Post instead of FedEx which will tack on a brokerage charge regardless of customs and duties. HLJ & AmiAmi wouldn't disclose their shipping yet - I wonder if I got gouged on the shipping by NY though. The total came out to 35,150Y though, ouch! Quote

eggy99 Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I did an estimate using the VF-1J Anniversario. Put 2 in the HLJ cart and used that as a rough guide for 2 via EMS to AU. It might be a bit higher, but I'm expecting it to be close to that estimate. ¥4420, so maybe ¥4800ish. Quote
