Did you pay in USD? Or yen and paid for exchange fee?   

I paid in yen. I like to stick with the currency from the origin point.

[neko878]

Yup me too.  It saves me a few bucks.

[Moosey]

Arrived just in time for Christmas! Yay!

[Lolicon]

You guys are making it really hard waiting for the premium release!

I decided that I didn’t need them and I could use that money for other stuff.  I already have a Yamato pair in my detolf and another pair unopened so the Arcadia pair would have taken up space.

I'm concerning cancelling both too.  I have the original releases already and space is quickly disappearing.

^ Ah, space, of the free kind. I vaguely remember such a thing, but it's a quickly fading memory... and it seems to go hand in hand with growing emptiness in my wallet, too.

Anime-Export sent me notification that Max is in stock Im gonna wait until next month to ship it though 

[jenius]

I bundled with my Garland so I'll be waiting a few months in this one.

[505thAirborne]

HLJ just took a payment from me, so Max will finally be on his way!!! 

[davidwhangchoi]

why is Max sold out and Miria still avail?

i wonder if Max is lower print...

[jenius]

I suspect Max is just more popular.

I've gotten the impression from a lot of MW members here & on FB they were able to grab Miria's VF over the years vs. Max, so perhaps that's why it sold out. 

[davidwhangchoi]

wow... thanks guys, getting me excited to get Max (premium ver.) 

 

[Cowboy17]

yep, just saw my max payment notification. did not expect it till next month, but oh well!

No this is a recast resin kit of the one that came with the VF-1J model kit

Was waiting to see your reference!  looks great! Thanks for the inspiration! I haven't opened my Milia yet and at this point, I might as well wait for Max to arrive.

I am pretty jealous of the colors you choose, they are spotted on. I tried an electric candy blue on mine and comparing to yours, I think it is too dark now.

[mechaninac]

N-Y has Max's regular edition VF-1J by Arcadia in stock , and for only 18,680¥ (just 400¥ mark-up... for now).  I just placed an order for one as I procrastinated too long during the open pre-order period, and thanks to the current exchange rate the total still ended up being a buck less than what I paid for Millia's ride. 

I would've waited until after the New Year, but I didn't want to take the chance of it selling out or rapidly increasing in price.  At least now the M&M void in my 1/60 collection will be filled, after many years, and my commitment to this line is officially over, done, close the book... unless Arcadia ropes me back in with a Cavaliers issue of their own.

[chyll2]

Ordered one. The 400 yen hike did not bother me since exchange rate is favorable.

I tried to match the color of the TV fast packs as much as I could. Mixed green, navy blue, white, and neutral gray to get it to the greenish blue of the fast packs. 

 

[snakerbot]

I got a preparation in progress email from NY this morning for Max. Should see it early next year.

Baby Pod looks great!!!

Excellent work, as usual! Almost regret not going in on one now.
