Because based on what have been discussed above is about updating the connnetors and adapters from Yamato add-ons to the Arcadia Valk releases. (Fold Booster to YF-19 and Ghost Boosters to VF-0.) Whereas the VF-0 Armored Pack is only released by Arcadia. And not an initial Yamato add-on. Unless Sanity meant something else when he mentioned 're-did'. Also, the initial painted Armored Pack were also sold as a separate release by Arcadia and not as a part of a bundle set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I've had no issues with amazon.jp yet BUT you do have to watch and see if you're buying from Amazon or a third party seller THROUGH Amazon. Packaging results have been mixed for other board members but that might also be a function of who the actual seller was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Amazon Japan's packaging (things shipped by AJ) is pretty obviously intended for domestic mail only. Whether or not that's an issue, depends on how bad your local DHL service is. By me, they're decent, and the packages aren't generally damaged.

Lolicon Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 DHL is not the postal service. I've way more confidence in them getting something to me undamaged than the postal service. I consider DHL the same as UPS or FedEx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F360 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Amazon.jp used really thin shipping boxes for some of my items , but with DHL it arrived safe and sound due to less handling and sorting. But for my hi-metal r vf-4, they were not able to fulfill my preorder. Luckily I did not cancel my amiami preorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanity is Optional Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 So, I moved, and tried to change the shipping location for my VE-1 on Amazon Japan, but when I try to it says it cannot be shipped to the new location. Fortunately I can still pick it up at the old address, bit it's certainly an interesting thing. The stands have no problem being re-routed, so it's probably due to how the VE-1 is past it's cancellation date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treatment Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I like to think that Arcadia's gonna do a silent release of their VT-1 PF as a followup to their VE-1 PF. It'll be much more acceptable than their expensive SV-51. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it's cheaper to make a new head scupt and re-use the same mold twice without having to do the R+D over again, therefore cost effectiveness. New valk = new R+D, new die cast molds, new process.

Lolicon Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Arcadia appears to be have inherited all the VF-1 molds from Yamato, so there would be no new R&D needed for a VT-1 reissue. Just tampo print everything and take my money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borgified Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Since that we all know that the re-engineered SV-51 is asking nearly 40k yen, how would you guestimate the price of the VF-11 if and when Arcadia decides to do it (after all Arcadia does seem to have access to Yamato's files like Lolicon has mentioned).

It's safe to assume that the price will be atleast doubled or more from when Yamato released the VF-11 back then. VF-1/SSP back then cost around Y12800. Arcadia released it around Y21800. Yamato SV-51 is Y21800. Arcadia is Y39744. As for the Yamato VF-11, it was Y19740. So expect Arcadia to have this price to around Y37000-39000.

Bolt Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Ya , the Yammy VF-11 was considered an over priced shelf warmer for a while. But it was one of the most line art accurate VF’s too. I loved the ejection pod and the super parts were really well integrated. (I’m speaking about the 11-C as that was the only version I had) More tampo and a bit more articulation would make this a home run for me.

jenius Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 The articulation is definitely where the biggest improvements could be made. Think of the articulation on the Bandai DX VF-1 being done a VF-11 toy... that'd be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
