And Y2800 cheaper too compared from Nippon-Yasan. Now people can stop comparing the Y10000/$100 price difference. Quote

barurutor Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 yeah, I raised a ticket to cancel the non-premium one and PO'd the premium one a few weeks back: not sure if they'll be happy about cancelling another one of my orders. Quote
Lolicon Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 25k yen? Sure why not. I went ahead and ordered one off HLJ. Now I'll have a Hikaru 1S without a canopy tint and a different white from my other DYRL valks. Quote
mcfly50 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Thanks for posting the the HLJ link. I tried to cancel my PO with NY and they wouldn't let me. I'm going to keep trying. Went ahead and ordered through HLJ. Definitely prefer them for customer service. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Order stop now. Couldn't preorder it. Hope ut opens again!! Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Shoot I missed the lower price PO at HLJ!!! lolol I missed both vf-31 POs as well. Have to setup a figinstock acct so I can jump on these! Quote
technoblue Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Nice. This will be good if Arcadia continues with the premium finish line and more vendors are able to secure stock like this. With my n-y coupon, the difference came to 1942yen (or about 17 dollars) before shipping. It is noteworthy but not enough to give me sticker shock. Edited January 31, 2017 by technoblue Quote
realdeal Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Are the markings on the fast pack micro missile launchers correct? I think the art is different. Quote
anubis20 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Got a PO in and now i need to cancel the regular release at Amiami Quote
treatment Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Got one as well. Still have the regular, so it'll be a decision as to which one to drop before release-date. Maybe drop both... Quote

But I don't want them to reissue everything just to have it in Premium Finish. I'm just guessing that they're just doing this stunt since they don't have something new anymore. It's kinda more like a one time thing rather like testing the water for this 'new' method. Quote
Mommar Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Hmm, that was only a $35 difference at HLJ. I'm a bit bummed I missed out. Also surprising an Arcadia product sold out. Quote

Lolicon Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Now that it's sold out, a bunch more people are going to want one. Quote

Slave IV Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 I probably would have bit at the HLJ price. Too late because I already ordered the regular and missed the HLJ preorders anyway. Quote
Universe1010 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Too late went through AE, all my preorders are with them so it just made sense to consolidate. HLJ banned me so they've lost me as a customer . In the end is only a saving of 20$ for me which would have been added to shipping for this one item. Edited February 1, 2017 by monishb Quote

Loop Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Sucks I missed the premium version on HLJ, maybe they open them back up at a later time. Quote

miriya Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Is there any reason not to get this from Nippon Yassan? Seems to be about $30 cheaper there (normal version that is). Is their shipping more or something? I haven't ordered anything from them in years (haven't ordered much from anyone in years but this might be my first new macross purchase in a while) Edited February 1, 2017 by miriya Quote
Slave IV Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 NY is my goto place for the best deals on Macross and most other Japanese items. Some of their policies are quirky but in the end, you get what you need for the lowest price. Shipping is comparable to HLJ, one or the other will have the lowest rates depending on the item. NY packs a little better than HLJ. Quote

I haven't ordered anything from them in years (haven't ordered much from anyone in years but this might be my first new macross purchase in a while) Every customers have different opinions and experience on each of this stores. If you want great deal when it comes to pricing esp preorder pricing, go to AmiAmi or Nippon-Yasan. However, if you miss the initial preorder price, AmiAmi might put it back again after a month or two prior of release, but the price will be the regular MSRP. Nippon-Yasan on the other hand, they might jack up the price more than the MSRP once it's avaiable in stock. But they don't change their initial preorder price if ever there will be some opening before release date. HLJ sticks to their initial preorder price up to when the item gets released then they will offer it in MSRP price. Shipping price varies also. Just to give you idea it just varies $15-20 differences from the grand total of the item and EMS shipping method between shops. And If you want your item to be packed safely compared than bulk orders from HLJ, go with AmiAmi or Nippon-Yasan. Ok, let's say you want your items be packed safely so you decided to order goods from AmiAmi or Nippon-Yasan. But after you receive the item, there's some instances that it comes with snapped broken wing, missing parts and accessories, and so on and so forth. Then you decided to contact them for a possible replacement or credit and whatnot. The only response you will get or common excuse they give is that they can't help customers outside Japan. Now this is where HLJ shines. They can help you whenever you have problems with the item you receive. Whether it's broken or it's missing parts, accessories, etc. Though they can't help you if the only problem you raise is that you receive a dented or scruffed box. They will ask you if the item inside is intact and not damage. And just letting you know that they don't value box. Box is just box to them. Believe me, it's true. In the end, there's no perfect store. For me, what's inside is important, that's why most of the time I choose HLJ so that if ever there's problem on the item, I can always ask them with no worries.

Slave IV Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) I thought I had an issue with a figurre I got from amiami and they were very prompt to offer help. Turns out, I didn't need it but they definitely seemed like they were going to do more than give excuses. Any way, my preffered shops: NY HLJ amiami AE CDJ ...I like CDJ a lot but they typically have the highest prices. If they have items on sale I love using them, otherwise pass unless I have to use them to secure something sold out everywhere else. Edited February 1, 2017 by Slave IV Quote
seti88 Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 NY used to be my preferred shop, but at times they list items later than the rest. Now, i use it just for exclusive items... Also as more hard to get items got released, combined shipping of HLJ and ami, has taken me away from NY. I use CDJ as my last resort, as their prices are higher. The latest interest is yellow submarine's rakuten store...that may be on my watch list too if they carry more hard to get items... Quote

Forgive me, but while I'm familiar with HLJ, the other acronyms don't ring a bell. What is "NY" for example? Thanks in advance. Quote
