I don't really need two, but I basically plan on kitbashing one with one of my Hikaru versions, and painting it in a not sucky scheme. :p 

Nice, the VF-4 certainly is attractive enough by itself, and a really thought-out scheme would be something incredible.

I'll keep checking online stores and updating the list for another 30 minutes or so.  Other than CDJapan and HobbySearch, pre-order availability does not seem to be disappearing too quickly.

Ok i had to check this...i got the last VF-4 at CDJ at 10800yen last time, but this time it was at 12000yen ie no discount...

So price wise, definitely better to get it at NY for this roy VF-4....

It's always better to get from NY if you can get the initial preorder price. And you don't mind possibly waiting longer.

Yup, i just ordered at NY instead and cancelled CDJ.

I had tot that CDJ's points would be sufficient to offset margins as well, but this time CDJ was only offering abt 360 points. 
The gap between NY and CDJ prices were too significant to ignore for this VF-4 pre-order, i suppose.

So all in all, i am in with NY @11280 shipped, at slowest ferry of course.

So there should be 1 popping up on CDJ...

You should actually have had an option to go with faster eco shipping for less than ferry but I guess it depends on your location.

Yeah, just not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me, but no i didn't see that option. :unknw:
Either way, its still savings.

Yep. Probably not a big difference anyways.

Nope, definitely my eyes aren't playing tricks on me, as i dont remember seeing that listing.

That being said, i wouldn't have gone with JP ECO even tho its cheaper, as it doesn't offer tracking.

I dont want to have to worry abt where my package might be. ;)

This is one of this items where if it gets lost, I'll be annoyed because I lost money, but I won't care about not getting one of these units.

I'm not really feeling it I guess. I wouldn't mind having one. But I'm not going to pay shipping on just one, it's not worth it to me.

Is there a way at NY for you to designate that it ships with items from other orders or something? I'd pick one up for sure if I could bundle it with other purchases. Unfortunately there isn't anything on NY that I want right now. Or more specifically nothing I want that is at a price I'll pay, There are a few DX's I want, but not at their pricing. Plenty of other places to get the same for a lot less.

I can't help but think there will be a lot available at release time fro great pricing.

I decided I wanted the new head sculpt and I didn’t want to pay full price.  Doesn’t matter, the thing still sold out somehow.

I decided to skip pre-order night--a decent sleep schedule is such a rare thing in Macross land. When I woke up this morning AJ was still taking orders, so I went with them. It will be interesting to see if the pre-order price guarantee kicks in. I also checked some of the other shops. These are showing available right now:

Hobby Search
https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10645793
(Anyway, it was letting me check out)

AmiAmi
https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-053210

HLJ, CDJ, and NY are all unavailable.
