Little update from NY:

Boss we have a bunch of Arcadia product here!

That's prepaid stuff right? Just throw it in the back behind all the other stuff we're not shipping out.

:lol: I was just thinking the same thing lol

I should probably write them a ticket and ask them to ship all my stuff via surface mail.

Sweet jeebus.  Sorry to hear that.  Glad you'll have it in hand soon though!

It was for two.  Even still, I'm cutting NY out of my life because they gouge on shipping.

Saw this announcement in a Chinese Macross FB group. Apparently the PF VF-0D will be shipped to distributors starting 26 June. 

Aaannd that means I have to beg NY to see if they will be willing to upgrade my EMS shipping (already paid for) to DHL, and of course, at a cost.

Oh man it looks siiiick!

NY doesn’t have DHL. It’s UPS or I think FedEx if you want expensive services and Ferry if you want cheap.

Sweet! Can't wait till it's ready for shipping. That said, I'm not looking forward to the shipping cost. Given the size and weight of an Arcadia VF-0, DHL or Fedex shipping to the USA is going to be over 10000 yen, easily.

EDIT: Took the size and weight listed on HLJ for the PF VF-0S and plugged it into From Japan's shipping calculator and it gave me these results (does not include proxy and domestic shipping fees):

Surface: 2350

Fedex: 4627

DHL: 6760

Seems a bit on the low side, I think.

FromJapan gave me an estimate of 22,000 (5,500/) to ship four in one box so I think that 6,750 jives.:good:

They'll upgrade it to UPS.

Still hoping they're release a "decent/mediocre" finish at some point.  Basically "this time it's molded in the right colors, but without doubling the price through weathering and panel-lining".

well, for those getting this uber expensive valk, just hope it doesn't have two left feet or self-distructing hip-joints or, heaven forbid, new Arcadia fatality shenanigans...

That looks pretty sweet to me.

Here's hoping that and the Yahoo Japan auction I just won hit FromJapan soon so I can ship.

Four VF-0D's (one for @Rogueload) inbound from From Japan.:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

This is the most excited I have been about a release. Maybe because it took so long.:D

DHL was only $58.98/unit. Not too shabby. They're supposed to ship  6/30. Fingers crossed on sooner!

Mine just showed there as well, but still waiting for a Yahoo Japan Auction item to show before I ship.

Oh well, what's a day or two?

 

As expected no word from Nippon Yasan on the one I ordered from them (with surface shipping).

About 1-2% of the wait time from order to shipped. So, pretty minor.:D

How's the color?

Precisely as advertised, I'd say.

I may just defer to Lolicon on this one...

She's too lovely to transform and scratch up. :wub:

...particularly since this is easily the most expensive Valkyrie I've ever purchased.  :unsure:
