dapro Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I think I selected SAL from HLJ for shipping. Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I'm still contemplating but I did PO'ed my third one from HLJ. Hoping that this one will be available on Black Friday too. Either way, I can still cancel this anytime. Quote
Pedro2k6 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I think I selected SAL from HLJ for shipping.IIRC they don't use SAL if the item cost more than 15,000 yens.That's what happens to me with VF-0D, VF-0A and MP-10. Quote
mustang1 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 TAKE THAT EVIL BAY AND YOUR OUTRAGEOUS PRICE!!! man am I so glad I waited! just pre-ordered. Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I'm still contemplating but I did PO'ed my third one from HLJ. Hoping that this one will be available on Black Friday too. Either way, I can still cancel this anytime. Iirc hlj didn't include preorders on their black friday sale list last year. I believe they started doing that because of what happened the previous year with the arcadia YF-19. But who knows maybe they'll drop the ball this year again, lol. Quote

I'm still 50/50 on this one since I already have two from Yamato. I just wanted to justify the money to spend here in MSRP (and for the new box ofcourse) compared to my first two which I got it from second market prices. But either way, it would be nice to have 3.

Mizicke5273 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Add me to the list of happy pre-oderers! This winter has a lot of nice releases hitting! Quote
Professor Dire Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I too have jumped into the fray. I am just thankful they reissued it. Quote
M'Kyuun Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I'm happy with my 2 Yamato VF-4s, but I would have considered an Arcadia had they modified the shoulders to articulate, and maybe lengthen the forearms enough to retract the posable hands in fighter. As a straight re-release, I'll pass. I'm happy for those who didn't get one the first time around, though, and at lower prices to boot...lucky bast@rds! Quote
calubin_175 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) I don't think it is even possible to fit the VF-4G in a small packet. Maybe only the 1/60 VF-1s could fit in a small packet. But EMS is still cheaper than SAL Parcel most of the time. Edited October 26, 2015 by calubin_175 Quote

That's what happens to me with VF-0D, VF-0A and MP-10. Let us know just in case HLJ emailed you notification that you can't do SAL on this one soon once the item is ready to ship. Quote
Kyp Durron Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Biggest no-brainer ever, preordered at HLJ. I'm not missing out on this twice if I can help it. Quote
DarkArchon3000 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Pre-ordered from HLJ. Thinking about getting another to do a FB 2012 repaint. What type/brand of paint is recommended for customizing valks? Is primer necessary? Quote
spanner Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 TAKE THAT EVIL BAY AND YOUR OUTRAGEOUS PRICE!!! man am I so glad I waited! just pre-ordered. ebay has long become a total (bad) joke.. gone are the days of finding bargains. Its now only full of greed from both the sellers and ebay themselves. Quote
sh9000 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Did you order it spanner76 and how many? Quote
Sandman Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 ebay has long become a total (bad) joke.. gone are the days of finding bargains. Its now only full of greed from both the sellers and ebay themselves. So true. Never any bargains on there anymore. I use to pick up some good deals every now and then. Not anymore. Quote
Professor Dire Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I am really glad these are be re released. The aftermarket on these has been brutal for a long time since Yamato tanked/rebranded.Now I just need to pray for a new run of Gamlin VF-22S. Quote
spanner Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Did you order it spanner76 and how many? nahhh.. gonna give this one a miss. I already have one of the original Yamato releases so I don't see the need for another especially as fighter mode is the only mode I actually like so buying another to display in gerwalk or battroid is kinda pointless. But if they had released a FB2012 color scheme then I would've been all over that like 5h!t to a blanket! hehe! Quote
Gakken85 Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 I don't think it is even possible to fit the VF-4G in a small packet. Maybe only the 1/60 VF-1s could fit in a small packet. But EMS is still cheaper than SAL Parcel most of the time. They will probably change the box. Might be smaller Quote
Mr Bomber Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 i just preordered mine on HLJ, now to happily wait for it while my wallet is agonizing XD Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 -b. b, how many are you getting? Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 b, how many are you getting? Two (for now). That could go up or down depending on how much damage I do between now and release. -b. Quote
gunbuster76 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 so waiting for one of you guys to do a skull squadron theme with these things. Quote
Professor Dire Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 so waiting for one of you guys to do a skull squadron theme with these things. Didn't the original come with decals for the Skull Squadron fins? Quote
dizman Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Woo got my order in at NY, thanks Arcadia! Quote
mickyg Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) so waiting for one of you guys to do a skull squadron theme with these things. I think at least two of our members have already done this. WM Cheng was one, I thought. Is it Macross Junkie who did one as well? EDIT: Here's a link to WM Cheng's gallery: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?app=galleryℑ=11252 Edited October 27, 2015 by mickyg Quote
gunbuster76 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 i guess what i meant was. seeing four vf-4's in yellow. red. blue. and green. Quote
mickyg Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I totally didn't get that before. Sorry! Yes, this would be a very cool thing to do. Agreed on so many levels. Quote
Lolicon Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I repainted mine in the FB2012 colors but I think mine looks amateurish compared to the awesomeness of wm cheng's! The skull squadron is an interesting idea. I'll think about trying it. I'll only have 3 units though, so I guess Kakizaki gets the shaft yet again! Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) don't forget valk addict's FB2012 he has other nice customs as well. Edited October 27, 2015 by davidwhangchoi Quote
mustang1 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 ebay has long become a total (bad) joke.. gone are the days of finding bargains.

Totally agree! if you notice most of everything is " Buy it Now " I hardly ever bid and win anything anymore. but like everything, it gets bastardized by greed! Quote
Mommar Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I'm still tossing it over in my head if I want to get off my lazy, amateur butt and attempt a Max 1J scheme. Quote
Chronocidal Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Put in an order for one at HLJ, but may not keep it depending on how the holidays go. I mostly just want a spare to customize. Quote
