Nice, the VF-4 certainly is attractive enough by itself, and a really thought-out scheme would be something incredible. 5 minutes ago, xrentonx said: I got 3 from HLJ, CDJ, and Amiami.

Shizuka the Cat Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 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. Quote

Slave IV Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Just now, seti88 said: lol thats really cheaper! . Yep! I was surprised that it is even lower than the last VF-4 from them. Quote
seti88 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 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.... Quote

seti88 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 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... Quote

seti88 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Yeah, just not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me, but no i didn't see that option. Either way, its still savings. Quote

Lolicon Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Ferry is more expensive than ECO shipping for me at NY. This isn't a scheme I'm crazy about, but the NY price is low enough for me to go ahead and pick one up. Quote
seti88 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) 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.

Lolicon Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 10770 shipped from NY. I guess that's as cheap as I'm going to find one. Quote

Slave IV Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Ferry is more expensive in some cases when the item is small. I guess it is more efficient to just fly it over. Quote

sqidd Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) 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. Edited October 4, 2019 by sqidd Quote

technoblue Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) 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.
