no3Ljm Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Premium Finish PO now live at Arcadia site. Quote
jenius Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Maybe the sites found out about it the same time we did so they need a while to get a page together. Quote
subie81 Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 *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! Quote
Saburo Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) ¥61,005 https://hlj.com/product/ACA82141/Act Edited August 22, 2017 by Saburo Quote

SuperHobo Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Wow, 61,000 yen whew I'll keep my Yamato one. But I expect many pictures from you diehards. Quote
Scyla Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Thanks. I've ordered one. Time to cancel the regular version. I wonder if I should do that right now. Quote
Saburo Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 I hope that the ¥61005 is a miscalculation. Quote
brouken Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 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) Quote
Lolicon Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) Yay got my order confirmation! 48000 yen after discount. Edited August 22, 2017 by Lolicon Quote

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. Quote

erizai Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) almost can buy two SDF-1 normal release at NY ... For those want to have alternate mode display, can consider DIY... lol Edited August 22, 2017 by erizai additional content Quote
gingaio Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) 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.

chyll2 Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Someone need to print out a decal and cut out of glow in the dark stickers. Quote
Lolicon Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Even with the discount, it was still too steep to buy two. I'll just have to spruce up my old Yamato to get it up to snuff with the PF. Quote

gingaio Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Wow, really? That was fast. I literally got my confirmation 15 minutes ago. Quote
Loop Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 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. Quote
Lorindor Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Order stop for an Arcadia toy after just a few minutes? That's new. Will have to keep my eyes open at NY then. Quote

spacemanoeuvres Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Dang missed HLJ; quite a markup though. Hopefully NY will be cheap enough to offset their jacked up EMS prices haha Quote
Astralith Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 YO! You people are savages! Order stop on HLJ already!?!? XD Anyone find an alternative yet? Quote

gingaio Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited August 22, 2017 by gingaio Quote

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! Quote
Slave IV Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Yeah, pay up front is only for Tamashii exclusives at NY. Quote
