Gakken85 Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Also, from that pic... Looks like the ankles lock really damn well, unless they shopped out a stand or something. The legs look a lot thicker at the bottom to me, so I guess reports that they didn't work on it should be taken with a grain of salt. Quote
treatment Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) hlj's prolly gonna troll everyone by mislisting or mis-labeling it, or possibly even just offer a tiny 1% discount... Edited October 14, 2014 by treatment Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) in case you need to hear it from arcadia: https://twitter.com/Mrk_arcadia/status/521828540820361217 reservations start today so expect most/all shops to open up preorders for multiple choices: hlj's prolly gonna troll everyone by mislisting or mis-labeling it, so just regularly check their listing... haha since it's not a limited bandai, there should be no hurry for it.

treatment Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Yeah. Good thing Arcadia hasn't pulled any Bandai-preorder shenanigans, yet, so all the pre-o's should be open until release-date. That and the fact that it is already damn expensive that I really don't think the scalpers will hedge and buy alot of it to scalp at even ludicrous pricing... Quote
skullmilitia Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 It's a open pre-order, there is no need to panic buy. That AmiAmi price is way nicer. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 more 0D links: Arcadia's page: http://arcadia.ac/products/detail.php?gid=201 Quote
David Hingtgen Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 It'd be nice if they updated with some real plastic/paint pics of the color instead of 'shopping them all. Look around the kite logos, you can see where they didn't quite get up to the borders... Quote
CF18 Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Yeah amiami price has been funny - 31400 is 85.326% of 36800. If it is like the Arcadia YF-19, HLJ would have 10% off listed and the Black Friday special would add another 10% off that price, making it 19% off. I haven't seen any better price for the YF-19 listed. Quote
treatment Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Google-translating the Arcadia-page and I reckon somebody at Google-translate don't like a certain Macross character... Quote
treatment Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 btw, the accessories per google-translate: Accessories Ganpoddo, pilot figure (Shin / Edgar), medium-range air-to-air missile, Missile launcher, Stand attachment, instruction manual, marking stickers Quote
David Hingtgen Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Anyone with the VF-0 master file able to figure out exactly which missiles and launcher etc that they likely mean? Quote
wmkjr Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Yeah amiami price has been funny - 31400 is 85.326% of 36800.

I haven't seen any better price for the YF-19 listed. Their list is 39744yen which is 36800 plus the 8% tax. 31400yen is about 21% off of their list. But if HLJ follows that pattern for this release then that is a deal that's hard to pass up (29800 yen). Edited October 14, 2014 by wmkjr Quote
technoblue Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 I'm going to sit tight and wait for HLJ's pre-order, but AmiAmi's discount price is more in line with what I expected to pay for one. Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Just preordered through Amiami. I'm surprised that SAL was a shipping option since usually EMS is the only option for bigger boxes and their rates are super high. Quote
Reïvaj Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 So who had $400 shipped in our poll? I seem to recall that $250-$300 was the prevailing guess. Oh the innocent days of our youth. So far, we can get it for less than $300 through AmiAmi. Anyone else think they seem to have gotten rid of the wavy separation line? That's key/unique. I think it's still there, mainly if the new pics are no more than PSed versions of the of the old ones. Quote
wmkjr Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 PO up at Big in Japan 31280yen. http://biginjap.com/en/completed-models/10844-160-vf-0d-phoenix-kudou-shin-custom.html Quote
Gakken85 Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Totally waiting on HLJ. Should be able to get Exhaust, Ultra Magnus, and the VF-0d in one shipment. Maybe even Starsaber. Quote
wm cheng Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Wow, still no stand at that price... just a stinking stand attachment, really?! Quote
F360 Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 I have always wanted this valk , but the price is pretty high for something that doesn't include much accessories , can't they toss in a ghost booster or fast packs at least .? . Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Mr. K is addressing comments of the color variations and he said we'll have to wait for the final product but it will be closer to the latter photos. (he jokes: use imagination for now. he's going blog about it) Edited October 14, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) amiami price is really 14% off biginjapan is 15% off (biginjapn shipping to U.S. cheapest is EMS for 4700, Sal is 5000yen) hlj will be less discount but cheaper shipping than amiami or biginjapan, so it will usually come out the same or a bit lower for hlj.

UN Spacy Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Gonna wait for HLJ...and if they do a Black Friday thing all the more better. Quote
wmkjr Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Hobby search: 33120yen http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10296745 Quote
Scream Man Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 AmiAmi at 31800, preorder in. That's a decent enough discount, and I have some points to knock it down a bit more. Quote
charger69 Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) This thing is huge like SV-51!

kyekye Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Mr.K's Tweet answer to high price complaint .. ( in a nice way) "すみません（汗）。 今のご時世、新規で作るとこんな感じになっちゃうのですよ・・・。（会社規模的に）" [translate]: Mr. K: "I'm sorry (sweat). With economy these days, that's how much making new model/toy costs... (also for the size of (our) company)" I'll have to get some raise to keep my hobbies.. Quote
xrentonx Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Oh, man! Preorders are finally up for this thing? Price is scary but it's not gonna stop me Now...HLJ or Amiami... Quote
aaajin Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 AmiAmi at 31800, preorder in. That's a decent enough discount, and I have some points to knock it down a bit more. Did you mean 31400 yen? Or did Amiami slash their price by 400 yen? Quote
aaajin Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Hope Arcadia will design a better plastic tray that wont put those fragile looking 2 x blue backpack tabs under stress... Edited October 14, 2014 by aaajin Quote
kyekye Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 With that price tag, this is #1 bestseller on Amazon Japan Toy/Figure category! Without any discount! Quote
EXO Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 It's theVF-1 that's small. But then again the avg. zentrans are suppose to be 2/3rds the size of a VF-1 according to specs. That's the price of a non VF-1 Valkyrie people keep asking about. Quote
spanner Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 FINALLY!!! just got my pre-order in at AmiAmi for three of em! 2 for me and 1 for my son. Gee aren't I great dad!! Quote
spanner Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) This thing is huge like SV-51! I guess the sheer size of the Zero can go towards justifying the high asking price.. you're physically getting a lot of Valk for the money! ok so no stand or many other inclusions aside but hey im not complaining about the cost.. im just glad the pre-order finally opened! AmiAmi's price at 31,400 is a good discounted price too! Heck I might even get a 4th so I can one in each mode! And now from one wait to another.. gee I'd hate to wish my life away for a material possession but hurry the F@#$ up February!!! Edited October 14, 2014 by spanner76 Quote
Scream Man Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 FINALLY!!! just got my pre-order in at AmiAmi for three of em! 2 for me and 1 for my son. Gee aren't I great dad!! Four?! You clearly make more money than me... Quote
charger69 Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Available at NY!! $291 Pre-order! https://www.nippon-yasan.com/macross/9625-macross-zero-1-60-kanzen-henkei-vf-0d-phoenix-kudou-shin-model.html Edited October 14, 2014 by charger69 Quote
