ErikElvis Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 Never transformed my 0D’s. Tempted to to see if the leg falls off. Quote

Chronocidal Posted June 29, 2020 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 Posted June 29, 2020 I received a "Preparation in Progress" notification from NY. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted June 29, 2020 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? Edited June 29, 2020 by Sanity is Optional Quote
Lolicon Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 Scheduled for delivery tomorrow morning. I'm stoked! Quote
F360 Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 just got the "Preparation in Progress" notification from NY too Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted June 29, 2020 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. Figures they're actually quick getting it out the door when it's going via Surface... Edited June 29, 2020 by Sanity is Optional Quote

But I preordered the DX VF super parts from them in December and haven’t gotten any reply to my emails as to why I haven’t received those yet. Quote

I don't collect whole ranges/lines/etc like all the Delta Valks, HMR's, or the Vermilion squadron for instance. I don't have a drive to be a completest (thank goodness!).

At this point, what's another 4000 ish yen on top of the EMS rate, lol? I really, REALLY, want to get my hands on the PF 0D as soon as I can. Quote

Lolicon Posted June 30, 2020 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
