Alphahorizon Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Glad I took a few minutes to check in here. Been really busy in life. Ty to those that posted NY pre-order information. 1 is good enough for me, but this bird is indeed a very cool design. I missed the first versions, so I'm glad to get this. And got the shipping notice for Arads armor feom NY. Today is a great day. Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Eh, I put in an order for a second via NY with Ferry. I'll get one safely from my proxy, and another one sometime around March or April. If either is defective, then I'll have a spare and can just leave it in a mode that doesn't show. Quote

Yep I’ve been using registered ferry so much that 2 months is nothing. Did you order 2 from NY? I’m still thinking about getting one but if you didn’t order it yet maybe we can split the shipping for an order of 2. If you already ordered then maybe try for the next release. Quote
easnoddy Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 And I thought the SV-51y was a wallet buster. Did the NY preorder. Do they do points like other Japanese stores. If so, how TF do you access your account to view your point total? Quote

After a certain amount of spending you can get a discount code issued to you. Some percentage that NY decided to give you. Mine so far were 3% and 1%. Quote

They seem to start you off low but my last few codes have been for 5% off, which is going to be pretty significant, especially if I order multiples. Quote

If you already place your order and have not paid yet , you can try to selecting your discount code when you pay your unpaid order. It looks selectable for unpaid orders too , but I haven’t try it yet . Quote

For exclusive, Hlj might have it since they did get previous Arcadia exclusives, BUT hlj normally charge higher for them , I would say they might even charge 3000 yen more . Quote
Mommar Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Here's a thought. Arcadia are willing to release "specialized" versions of Valks on their online shop. They'll be even more expensive than this but what's to keep them from doing other variations or special versions that wouldn't normally fly off shelves? The two SV-52 variants somebody posted in the SV-51 thread made me think why not do the variants and release them somewhere they don't have to worry about shelf space? Quote
treatment Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Shelf space? Why don't they just sell directly thru amzn-jp instead to reach a much wider buying audience? Quote

easnoddy Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 I did the discount coupon thing, 3.5%. Around $15 USD off, better than nothing I suppose. Quote

scand Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 ~ $500 US for this one. My most expensive yet... but gotta have this one. If there wasn't so much cool Macross stuff in the world I would already have a blower on my car Quote

My wife has a 19' with the ten speed. That thing shifts like a 125cc dirtbike! I'm super impressed with the car. Ping me when you're ready for a blower. I design/sell the Department Of Boost kits and I'm also a Whipple and VMP dealer. Whatever goal you have I can get you there. Quote

Lolicon Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 If I use my 10% coupon it'll be the same price as my From Japan order. Hmmm... Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 Thought those were only for in-stock items? Mine poofed apparently, despite not being usable on the last day... Oh well. Quote
