jvmacross Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Thanks for the response!! It's not that a big deviation from the lineart IMO. In this case I like it being bulkier (and I am a lineart nazi!!). Wish there was another option for you to choose from. LOL....guess you're not as fanatical as you think you are....I do not need another option...as I said...it is the only game in town....If I could deal with ET's VF-2SS...I could deal with a chunky PWS-0X....just calling it as I see it....

jenius Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 HLJ sure isn't offering up much of a discount! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Figured why not, I pre-ordered a set from HLJ. Plenty of time to save some $$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) HLJ sure isn't offering up much of a discount! this is true but I think most aren't so fussed paying that little bit more as it more than makes up for it with their customer service! those few dollars difference is kinda like an insurance policy in case anything is wrong with the product..

Lolicon Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 For me, HLJ's lower shipping prices and private warehouse option more than offsets the usually miniscule price differences between retailers. I personally don't mind just having one big shipment every two months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bomber Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Well, if everyone is preordering guess ill have to go with it. Guess ill have to hope for a VF0A re release for seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave IV Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Every penny counts! Almost $30 less than HLJ and the ability to combine, plus they've actually been comparable or cheaper than HLJ for shipping means I'm glad I waited. I swore off NY a while ago because they pissed me off but their recent prices for Macross items are too good to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Yeah, NY just killed it at that price. You can get the armor and have it shipped for less than the base price at HLJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Well I did qualify my statement with "usually." For that price hell yeah I'll buy it from NY! Just hope nothing arrives broken. That's never happened with an Arcadia product before, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 typical NY massively undercutting everyone else.. even if I chose to buy it from them I'd still be paying the better part of 4k yen for EMS shipping to Australia.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Ooo that's a nice price via NY..normally I would have gone for that but since I snagged the draken at hlj too am hoping shipping once from hlj would be cheaper than shipping from 2 separate orders from 2 retailers...I wish I knew in advance what hlj combined shipping would cost though.

Mommar Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) NY stopped shipping via FedEx though. Not only that it's only $8 more from HLJ via FedEx than it would be from NY with Registered EMS. No contest, HLJ's service and the Albuquerque branch of FedEx isn't likely to lose my crap like the Postal Service and UPS will and for only $8 more.

Universe1010 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Yeah, NY just killed it at that price. You can get the armor and have it shipped for less than the base price at HLJ.

Lorindor Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I'm dead certain Arcadia will re-release their VF-0S some time after the armor. They are stupid otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Nippon Yasan 14280yen Yeah, NY just killed it at that price. You can get the armor and have it shipped for less than the base price at HLJ. You guys made me think now since I PO'ed 2 at HLJ. The only advantage I have is that when I decided to cancel one, I can do so with HLJ hassle-free. With NY, I'll probably get account suspended. Well I did qualify my statement with "usually." For that price hell yeah I'll buy it from NY! Just hope nothing arrives broken. That's never happened with an Arcadia product before, right? Remember YF-19? The VF-0S price is going to surge. I'm dead certain Arcadia will re-release their VF-0S some time after the armor. They are stupid otherwise. Don't wait for it. Better grab one now if you still don't have one. Even if it's a used one.

No contest, HLJ's service and the Albuquerque branch of FedEx isn't likely to lose my crap like the Postal Service and UPS will and for only $8 more. You know what, I'd go with Mommar's reasoning as well. I tried sampling 'in-stock' Valkyrie items on both shops (HLJ and NY) and compared them based on assumption that Arcadia's Armor boxes will have the same size as what they have in-stock. And it's true it's just $8 more on HLJ. Actually, it was $10 on my computation. I guess it really depends on the price. But still. So even if NY has the cheapest base price. It's the shipping cost that increases on NY. And having tried HLJ's FedEx options for large packages, I rather stick my 2 Armor PO's with HLJ.

Slave IV Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I don't like dealing with NY but I've never had a problem cancelling with them...given, I've only done it a couple times at most. I agree HLJ is the easiest to deal with but again, money talks. Saving $10-$20+ to get the same item in the end is a no-brainer for me. In all my recent comparisons of shipping prices, NY was actually cheaper but I always choose the cheap SAL with insurance if available. Anyways, glad this is out of the way and now I'm just hoping for an improved release of the 0A or another huge sale for the 0S like HLJ had.

Ignacio Ocamica Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 You guys are lucky with NY shipping prices. When compared to HLJ I always pay almost double when using EMS with NY. I use NY for limited or exclusive items. I'm located in Argentina South America and NY EMS rates are extremely expensive. So it's 99% with hlj for me.

Tambien hacia lo mismo...pero desde que aduana empezo a cobrarme los impuestos por los paquetes EMS de HLJ, me cambie a NY incluso si su EMS es mas caro me salia mejor que pagar los impuestos.

(que son un 30% del producto y envÃo combinado).Aca en cambio no tengo ese problema. Siempre y cuando venga a traves de correo regular y no pase de 400 ni mas de 4 kilos pago 0 impuestos. Lo malo es que ese limite me encarece ya que a veces todo lo que tengo en el PW de hlj me sale mas barato por fedex por el peso pero si lo hago me revientan los impuestos.
