Has the price been announced?

No, but that is no reason not to start complaining about it.

We might be able to back into the MSRP. Let's try:

The Arcadia VF-1S with stand cost 16,800 Yen

The Arcadia stand sales for 2,700 Yen

Had Arcadia sold the VF-1S without the stand it should have retailed for about 14,100 Yen

A Yamato VF-1 sold for 9,800 Yen

That means Arcadia did a mark of 4,300 Yen or roughly 44%

The Yamato GBP giftset originally retailed for 16,800 Yen

Adding the 7400 Yen (rounidng) and you get 24,200 Yen as the expected retail price if a stand isn't included, 26,900 if a stand is included, and 51,200 Yen if they're going to include 10 stands.

*Snip*

The Arcadia VF-1S with Super parts and stand cost 16,800 Yen

Huh? I thought Arcadia didn't sell the VF-1S with supers? Only the YF-19 had FAST packs or did I order the wrong ones? I'd say about 28500 for this one.

From comparing the list prices on the Yamato's versus Arcadia's and adjusting for the price increase percentages I'd say it'd be about 27100yen before retail discounts and 24300 at HLJ.

edit: Jenius did the estimates already and I didn't factor out the stands in the initial estimates.

You guys are way too optimistic.

Arcadia will charge between 36500y and 44,200y for this.

Without a stand or grey goggles or dyrl hands...

:5:

:D

So, since it is now pretty much confirmed that Arcadia will include 10 stands with this release, pretty sure the price of valks will be tenfold in 1-2 years. Imagine the demand spike when people start to realize that they NEED to hook a valk on each and every one of these stands. It's a brilliant marketing strategy, heck they should hand these stands for free on sidewalks.

Pls dont take me too seriously. I was joking too...

I wonder if we'll get a PO at the beginning or end of January ?

If early January , I'll have all my questions answered concerning : stand,hands,option parts.

If late January, mild nerd angst awaiting answers for: stand,hands,option parts.

Yeah, it does.

It also says 25,704y (prolly japan sales-tax included).


Still no stand and no dyrl-hands. Pointy-finger and fisted clown-hands, tho.

I never got the original Yammie set, so I don't know if the old set included extra clown hands or whatever extras...

so without tax it is 23800 with standard 10% discount we are looking at 21420 yen.

edit:

I must say I am glad since my estimate was closer to 30k yen :p
