I'm still scratching my head how this was announced out of nowhere absolutely 100% totally unexpected, not sure if Arcadia want's to steal some of the momentum Bandai has with the recent Macross figures.

 Now how about a surprising announcement of the YF 21 PF  in the next  following months Arcadia? ;)

If it's a 'new' YF-21, I'm IN. ^_^

Wonder how long before it shows up at other stores for pre-order. The sudden announcement of this figure pleases me; I have been getting blown out of the water on Yamato VE-1 auctions for awhile now.

Ah glad to see it's a general release and not a web exclusive. 

Got one from Amazon. Love the fast, cheap shipping. And don't forget that Amazon will price match. 

Not quite sure, but I believe this is the first ever PF offered by amz-jp direct?

Don't recall ever seeing any of the previous PFs from other than the usual marketplace/3rd-party scalpers  sellers over at amz-jp.

It'll be really interesting tonite when the regular japan-shops opens up their respective po-pages to find out how much (if any) discounts each will be offering for it.

Hope it'll be significant enough to get amz-jp to knock down their current offering from the MSRP-level.

This is great news! B))

Now not to jump the gun but does that mean that a VT-1 might be coming as well....? 

I have a feeling that would be the case since Arcadia's reissuing the expensive VF-1 Valks in secondary market. ;)

Fantastic news! I was so close to picking up the yamato version off ebay just a few days ago.

You're not getting the $1100+ one, right? For that price, you can get 5 Premium Finish version. ;)

Ha, difference between Amazon w/ DHL and NY with EMS? NY is ¥60 cheaper. I think I'll stick with Amazon.

N-y is 27980 with EMS shipping, it's 980 yen MORE than Amazon.B))

Yaaaay! Finally! I'm so glad I held out from buying the HMR Elintseeker! Locked and loaded at NY!

Great time to be an Elint fan, what with Chuck's VF-31E's pre-order coming around the corner!

Now release the 1/60 VT-1 Super Ostrich too Arcadia!

I don't really want to buy a $250 VE-1 when I already have one from the Yamato days, but the one I have is broken and I'd like to replace it. :mellow:

I'm assuming that along with the premium finish, this Elintseeker will come with all of the latest improvements? I.e. the better engineered shoulders, et al?

Wouldn't mind getting a cheaper non-premium version either, but if this is all they got, I'm still getting it. I waited way too long for this to be re-released.

The shoulders never needed to be engineered, Yamato blamed the fragile shoulders on certain releases on a manufacturing flaw (everybody blames the factory right?). By the time the first VE-1 came out this had been resolved so you shouldn't have anything to worry about there.

That's good to hear Jenius! I remember reading somewhere that the Yamato releases of the VE-1 and the VT-1 had the shoulder problems.

Also, looking at the product pics, it seems Arcadia is not including the side covers for this release. Maybe its in the product description. I have yet to read through Arcadia's product page details.
