I always thought the official color leaned closer to blue. The Yamato/Arcadia ones felt a little closer to green which I wish it didn't but wasn't really bad. The photos above make the blue seem richer but I guess we'll find out once we have it in hand for ourselves.
-
They're confirming the shipping cost and probably if somebody purchased the item ahead of you or physically at the store.
-
This is this first time I've seen it without the sold out sign. Lol! Good luck to whoever wants it.
-
Next TWE pre-order. Hahaha!
-
Just looks weird with it being half empty.
-
Seems peeps in Japan have started receiving their super/strike parts.
-
@sqidd or is it 6? Lol!
-
Huh... so it's just an error on their end.
-
Maybe @Lockdowngot it since he posted it first.
-
Lol! Won't go through.
-
Official release date is the 16th I believe.

@BluefinBrands I see. Unless it can be communicated early on prior to any exclusive going live in Japan, I think a lot of us collectors will find ways to order from Japan so we don't miss out just in case. I can probably point out the Red Frame Kai Alternative version which was up for PO in Japan about a month ago but hasn't come up here in the US. I don't believe there are any plans of making that available here in the US, correct?
-
@BluefinBrandsIt would have been better though if you guys announced that it will be made available prior to the preorders in Japan going live. You didn't need a specific date of when but as long as we were aware it will happen, that would have been good enough. Going forward, I believe a lot of us would appreciate it if that were to happen.

With that answer, it's quite possible they weren't notified by Arcadia of the delay when they started asking for payment.
-
Thank you. I'll look into it. They finally got funding from the 0D PF payments to get you your DX1S.
-
For the small skull tampo near the pilot, what did you use? Decal from a Hasegawa kit or something else?
-
It's thought that the early marked up 1S (or any marked up POs they have) are sourced from other retailers at MSRP or at discount PO price. If NY's own 1S stock from Bandai somehow got shorted which were offered at one of the lowest PO pricing, they'd have to source them at higher prices and would take a hit. Maybe they're still recovering from the VF31A debacle? Lol! All assumptions though.
-
HLJ was pay later as well although at a higher price. At least, there won't be any shipping shenanigans there.
-
I don't support NY. It seems they asked for payment earlier than the expected (or previous) release date for the 0D shipment. What's to say they did this because there are a few people didn't end up paying their previous POs compounded with Arcadia notifying them of the delay days after they made the payment request? It's a possible scenario. If NY folds before the release date on March, anybody that paid this month can still get their money back through Paypal or their CC. At worst, you don't get the 0D PF and would have to look elsewhere with a possibility of paying a higher price. If they weren't screwing around too much with shipping people's orders, then they'd have less headaches with chargebacks/refunds and loss of customers.
-
It's supposed to be a joke...
-
No. They were asking for payment early because they have to buy more DX VF-1S and super/strike packs on the secondary market to fulfill all the orders they received.
-
Oh ok. Because I think the first time it came up on Mandarake, somebody here said it was 23K.
-
I was wondering that as well. I'm more interested in seeing how much they are pricing it since the sold out price sometimes doesn't reflect the price at the time of listing. Or maybe Mandarake is just trolling us and the item sold at the store itself.
-
Is it going to the US? If so, between 14-19 days.
