*crickets*!!! Nothing so far?!! I'm falling asleep! I've got work early tomorrow!!! I've been stalking hlj and nothing's popped up so far!

Thanks. I've ordered one. Time to cancel the regular version. 

I wonder if I should do that right now.

Wow, that's a bit much. Almost double the price of the regular finish one. Are any of the other shops going to carry this? (NY for example)

Yay got my order confirmation! 

48000 yen after discount. 

Nice way to use that discount! I was hoping they would give me a similar coupon for a recent mishap. Instead, they just gave me credit for a percentage of the item that was damaged.

From HLJ. He got a discount coupon previously due to a mix up.

Thanks... wow 48000 is a steal... 

I think HLJ price is quite steep... hope NY come out a better price...

Placed a preorder, but man, it's steep. I've spent more on vintage Macross, but we're talking the Super-O, Elintseeker, etc. Easily the most  I'll pay for a new toy...assuming I keep the order...I mean, an extra $200 worth of paint.

I guess I'll wait it out to see what it will cost at the shops before placing an order for the premium on the Arcadia web shop.

Order stop for an Arcadia toy after just a few minutes? That's new. Will have to keep my eyes open at NY then.

it will become available as more sources come available. (and people will cancel once they found cheaper alternative)

Dang missed HLJ; quite a markup though. Hopefully NY will be cheap enough to offset their jacked up EMS prices haha

YO! You people are savages!  Order stop on HLJ already!?!? XD 

 

Anyone find an alternative yet? 

You call us savages, yet you ask us for alternative?!

Ha! :lol:

The trade-off with NY (and anyone else besides HLJ) is paying upfront, especially for something this expensive, and the fact that cancelling the preorder (in case something else better comes along) is more of a hassle than it would be at HLJ. That said, if NY's price is considerably cheaper, it may be worth switching over. I wonder how much stock retailers are going to get, though.

I can't remember but did NY required 'pay now' on Arcadia's Premium Finish releases? I thought they only require pay upfront on just Tamashii Web Exclusive items?

Can anyone who bought their VF-1S Premium Finish over at NY verify this? Thanks!
