Of course I ordered it. I have to have: 1.) Yammie version with rainbow canopy 2.) Yammie version without rainbow canopy 3.) Arcadia version without rainbow canopy What other choice was there?

Chronocidal Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Yeah, it was one of the surprise last minute releases before Yamato shut down, amid 30th releases of the other most popular designs. I was hoping we'd get a VT-1 as well, but it didn't happen. I was thrilled it happened, because I'd never gotten around to getting one the first time it was out, and was able to fill that particular hole in my collection.

Mommar Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, Shizuka the Cat said: Well, I just pre-ordered it from Amazon JP. The VE-1 is my favorite of all the valkyries, so I could not resist. If we are lucky, maybe we will see Amazon do some price drops similar to how they dropped the price on the HMR VF-1D twice after the initial offering and applied said new price to those who already ordered. *sigh* Now I kind of regret how much I spent on the 2 Yamato v2 1/60 VE-1 toys I bought. Oh well... You shouldn’t feel bad, those Yammies have awesome tinted canopies. Besides, you should be able to pose your favorite Valk in all three modes at once.

Fighter with AEW&C Parts and landing gear extended. 3.) Fighter without AEW&C Parts and landing gear retracted. 4.) Fighter without AEW&C Parts and landing gear extended.

F360 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 4 hours ago, Alex GS said: So is DHL their shipping method, now the thing is getting serious probably will not cancel my Amazon JP order then Will be sending it to California and so if the MSRP going for 25 K something, and probably if AmiAmi gets it will be at 23 K something or less, and now add that Y4,500 DHL shipping so in the end will end up with the same price , ok I'm assuming too much I will stop now lol. That's exactly why I'm so excited of this surprising release, a freaking slap in the face to those people. There’s no preorder discount for premium finish , so it will cost you much more due to no shipping discount from other stores besides Amazon.jp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that 1200 yen amazon shipping is going to be tough to beat . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DewPoint Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I may end up regretting this, but I'm going to wait a day or so and see if the other vendors post this. I want one, but I don't want to commit right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want one, but I don't want to commit right away. Why not just preorder it already while you go waiting a day or so, and then cancel if you find other vendors' offering to be better than amz-jp? The amz-jp po-page says you have until 2/11 to cancel it, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the rainbow canopies and still wish Arcadia would put them on their PF valks, for the price they're going for. Luckily the old Yamato VE-1 release has a lot of tampo already, so I won't have to do much work to fake a PF w/rainbow canopy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
