Shipping via UPS from NY is over $200.

And under $43 for two if you choose ferry. I choose the ferry route everytime for these things!

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.

Right, I get to wait two months and then have my local USPS lose it in town.  Not a savings IMO.

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.

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.

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?

They don't do points. 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%.

It's been working well for me but if your post office is not reliable then I guess it isn't a good option.

I ordered but I sent in an inquiry regarding a discount code. Will let you know how it goes.

Speaking of dicount codes, yeah, they use a system described here. 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.

It’s the equivalent of a web exclusive from Bandai so no, they probably won’t.

After you summon your discount code .

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 .

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 .

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?

Yeah, I just noticed that feature but never tried it either. Seems like it will work and I will be attempting it soon.

I loved that scheme so much. I still kick myself for not buying it but funds were low at the time.

~ $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 :(

@sqiddIt's a 2018 Mustang 5.0 , Premium, Performance Pack 1. I traded up from a 2014 premium Mustang 3.7 earlier this year. My 3.7 was FBO, tuned, with a full suspension... I kinda miss it, at least until,I feel the 460 hp gen 3 coyote motor pull me to almost 100 MPH before shifting out of second gear :D.

Congrats! The Gen3 is a ripper! 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.:good:

Hey, I just got myself an old wagon that could give those Mustangs a run for their money. :ph34r:
