Why would they revert back to the previous faulty design? There is a precedent for it, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Not Arcadia actually, so maybe it's a stretch, but I absolutely remember getting new release Yamato VF-1s with vintage faulty shoulders long after the fix was implemented. The yellowed parts in the VF-1J/GBP-1 set too. They just have a history of including older stock parts in their new releases. It does depend on how many of Yamato's historical foibles you want to carry over to Arcadia, so I'm probably being unfair. I don't think Arcadia directly has made any of those slip-ups yet, but I also have bought very few of their releases. My concern is more that, with factories being strained as they are, the potential for falling back on old supplies of faulty components might be higher than usual.

funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I received a "Preparation in Progress" notification from NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Finally on the way, since my auction purchase showed up at FromJapan. This is going to be a very expensive package: VF-0D PF 3x DX Missile Sets Yamato weathered Hikaru VF-1S (sealed) [edit] Looks like NY is "preparing" my order, so it might ship in a month or two?

Sanity is Optional Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Amazing, this must be a record. Nippon Yasan sent me a shipping notice and tracking number less than 3 hours after the "preparation in progress" email.

Lolicon Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 So glad it's sold out now. I was so close to pulling the trigger on one from HLJ. Had I already received my 10% coupon I probably would have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
