I'm surprised I didn't see a post regarding Anime-Export 27880 Yen:

EDIT***

I'm aware the problem with AE is that they always want payment upfront.

Also I notice that AE is allowing a max of four per customer... while AmiAmi is only allowing a max of one per household. I wonder what gives. If AmiAmi allowed more than one I would have placed additional orders with them.

hlj all the way. The way to really save is combine shipping. Also fedex are a bunch of incompetents. Nothing but issues with those guys and no Saturday delivery.

Yup I got two on order with HLJ, two through AmiAmi and hell if AE didn't want payment upfront I would probably order another two through them or maybe a solid four, lol.

Thanks for the stress free preorders, Arcadia! I got me a pretty good night's sleep and I'm not bleary eyed from preorder madness to boot! Gonna be a good Friday :)

I find it interesting that so many web shops are limiting sales to just one. I thought this was going to be made-to-order. Unless they're really worried about someone ordering ten then cancelling all of them it's a little odd (then limit to three or something.)

This is actually part of why I went for HLJ from the get-go; no problem ordering multiples, and I can always throw some other smaller items into the box before shipping. :)

Also, as far as shipping costs go, NY has always had ridiculous prices listed for FedEx compared to HLJ, at least for the items I have ordered. Their listed Fedex prices are probably based on some kind of upper limit, but I think HLJ works with FedEx directly to get good bulk rates.

Just for a quick comparison, NY wants 5640 yen for a single VF-27 renewal for FedEx, and that total goes up to 8065 yen for two.

When I go to HLJ to have them ship my warehoused VF-27 via FedEx? They ask for 2780 yen. A minute ago I was estimating NY charges almost twice as much, but didn't want to exaggerate.. guess I wasn't. <_< They charge over twice as much for FedEx.

I ended up going with HLJ. There was only 1% of difference between amiami and HLJ, plus HLJ shipping is cheaper.

Not willing to go the prepay route with AE or BIJ despite them being cheaper. Just too much money to be left on the table for 6 months.

So, why is this toy still available for preorder when all those Bandai releases lasted for mere minutes? It can't just be the higher price. :huh:

Maybe because these are built to order versus having a set amount in production. I dunno.

I got one preordered at Big in Japan, they've got a 20% discount which lowers the price to 26000 yens, not bad really even if the shipping stings a bit it's still a 31000 total.

At this price point I'm expecting nothing less but greatness on this YF-19 from Arcadia!
