Since there's no limit number in the item page, you can try and put it in your cart and see if you can change the quantity number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boobytrap Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 PO at NY. No PO discount at HLJ made it an easy choice. NY price plus EMS shipping was only a little over HLJ price without shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Hm, I only have a regular edition Milia on order, but if it pops up again, I might grab one. I put an HLJ order in for both versions of Max, since the premium one won't be out for a year, and I can just cancel if I can't grab a premium Milia when they arrive.

If you want on I'll sell you my copy at cost once it's in since I'm going with a PF ver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 So are they just using the same pictures for both standard and PF versions? Both descriptions say they come with stickers too. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I've never known Yamato, Arcadia, nor Bandai, to ever show final-production-level valks. It's always hand-painted samples etc. Sometimes the differences are minor, sometimes notable. But you never know exactly how they'll look until its actually released. Not worth trying to figure out what the differences are based on pics, as I doubt either version will exactly match any pics we've seen.

Both descriptions say they come with stickers too. Chris Like @David Hingtgen said, Arcadia uses pre-painted samples for their photos. In the beginning, I think they also used Yamato Valkyries too. With regard to decals, this is what Arcadia notes on the Max and Milia Premium Finish sites: * Markings are reproduced using Tampo printing, decals are not included. http://arcadia.ac/products/detail.php?product_id=258 http://arcadia.ac/products/detail.php?product_id=256 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scyla Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Is there an exact release date for the standard Milia VF-1J? Edited September 18, 2017 by Scyla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we know is that it's being pushed back to estimate of 9/30. And only Nippon-Yasan has that estimate date whereas the other ones just states September 2017. Arcadia site on the other hand still states the month of August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often issue a shipping request and the next day an item becomes available and then the next item will take some time to arrive. Somehow many of the toys I order are released at the last third of a month. Maybe the next time I should ship in the middle of a month and not drag it out till the end. Anyhow, I went ahead and ordered a regular Max version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zx31 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Looks like the Milia delay is because they've been making improvements to the manufacturing process for her release.https://ameblo.jp/arcadiaac/entry-12312374556.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chyll2 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 saw the post in FB as well. It looks like we can call it v2.2 now. really nice improvements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 Wow. As Arcadia releases, those upgrades are 4 years too late. As for version, with those upgrades we're on v2.3. Recent are v2.2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmkjr Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Yup, to bad they didn't do these little changes when they 1st started out to differentiate themselves from Yamato and address these items before starting on the VF-1 line.

Jasonc Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 With so much time before the Premium Max and Milia come out, I kept my old preorder for the standard edition Milia, and on top of those premium finish versions, also preordered a regular Max for my own Christmas present. Well, I can have my wife get that for me for Christmas, so I just need to figure out what she wants. This Macross toy collecting is serious business.
