Sildani Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Nah, I’m good with waiting. I was just curious as to what others thought about the price. It’s a bit high, but I don’t dispute the seller’s wish to make a profit. Thanks all! Quote
onnasake Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 I canceled my amazon japan pre-order. 30,000 yen is simply too much for me. I hope I don't end up regretting it. I have wanted a YF-19 for almost 20 years now but I simply can't afford it. It sucks, but that's life. Quote

I feel your pain, man. If you've wanted a YF-19 for nearly two decades, then you never got any of the previous releases... and if you couldn't afford them, you won't be able to afford Bandai's, either. It's only going to increase in value. . . . Okay, I suppose I won't need my Yamato YF-19 once this Bandai comes out, so I'll sell it to you for $100. Just send me a PM if you want it; it's still in its box and everything. Quote

"creative liberties" Bandai have taken with regards to this release, you might want to wait 'til the DX is in your hands before letting go of the older ones. They might actually be more to your liking than this is. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 I doubt the Yamato will go up in Value, though Arcadia's might. Quote

seti88 Posted August 13, 2018 Author Posted August 13, 2018 That isn't the DX version, the lack of tampo gives it away, not to mention the red chest stripe is actually on top! It looks to be the arcadia version with a custom forarm cannon. Quote

anime52k8 Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 when is this shipping again? I figured it would be soon since the MB strike is already out. Quote

anime52k8 Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 oh good. I've got a lot of stuff coming this month. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Release date just updated on the Tamashii web site, now releasing on the 22nd. Quote

Just preordered on Amazon.jp for 26,200 Yen shipped (to the U.S.). Sigh. A bit pricey, but so's everything these days. Been stalking Amazon.jp for the past few weeks waiting to snatch one up, after waffling on it and seeing POs get sold out. Quote

I thought the 19 wasn’t due for release until the very end of September? Edit: Tamashii website says 22 still. Edited August 28, 2018 by Mommar Quote
sh9000 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 NY emailed me last night that the release date is 9/22 and that payment is due before 9/17. I think I will combine the order with the VF-31F Messer/Hayate. Quote
Knightdramon Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Add me to the list of people emailed by NY for a change of date and payment request. Worked out to quite a reasonable price in GBP, all paid up now. Fingers crossed this won't be a VF31A scenario [which worked out great for me but not well for others!] Quote
Redskull Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 AmiAmi has the YF-19 available for Pre-order. Better hurry and snag one while you can. Quote

kajnrig Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) Apparently it's at a ~2800 yen markup at amiami from when preorders first opened. Mine was 24240 as opposed to the current price of 27000. Can retailers do that on preorders? This is the first I'm seeing it... Edited August 31, 2018 by kajnrig Quote
Zx31 Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 That's not a markup, they just aren't giving you a pre-order discount. Quote
Lolicon Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 It's not marked up. Amiami simply removed their usual preorder discount. I suppose that can be seen as a markup, depending on your perspective. Quote
kajnrig Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Oh duh. Of course I should have seen what the retail price was before jumping to conclusions. I'm an idiot, ignore me. Quote
Slave IV Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Also, retailers can charge whatever they want. MSRP is “Suggested retail price”. Quote
