Ignacio Ocamica Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 I got lucky at amiami with Hikaru's 1J. Not this time with the 1A. The one I really want is Focker's 1S, why are you making it so hard Bandai. I really miss Yamato. Quote

Expand oh. But wouldn't Arcadia just get some of their business from guys like us who couldn't get an order? Also, I've seen that there's a KO of arcadia valk, so such higher scalping prices is just going to have KO companies cash in. Edited April 8, 2019 by beatsing Quote
Shizuka the Cat Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) I don;'t know how pre-orders on eBay works, but I saw this one listing for the TV Max. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bandai-DX-Chogokin-VF-1A-Valkyrie-Maximilian-Jenius-Japan-version/223475196868?hash=item340828e3c4:g:RGAAAOSwLgFcpy0C About $318.76 + $49.44 shipping At least the seller has 100% positive feedback.
