Probably don't need to as this is Arcadia and not Bandai. Unless there's a premium version.

you know what that sort of thinking gets you? MISSING OUT ON M&M AND HAVING TO PAY 1500 DOLLARS FOR THE PAIR A YEAR LATER ON EBAY.

Takin' no chances

all i need is a preorder date, arcadia, so i can alter my sleep schedule for that day and fake a sick day.  GIVE ME

Was there an English version of this post? I'm curious since Japanese manufacturing is known for quality control stuff and there are ways to minimize waste. I worked in a factory once and some waste is due to carelessness or old/defective molds. And even when a part is defective we find ways to salvage it and make it usable.

oh god japanese quality control. Even in the software world some of the well-known principles are applied and certain areas of management have hyped them up so much its become a meme in the office.

I was bidding on that one too hahaha I went up to 375 shipped and was actually relieved when I was outbid!

Would have ended up as one of the most expensive valks in my collection. 

i stopped at 275, and even then that was HELL NO territory. 

this thing has turned into gold over the past 8 months or so.  Ive been trying to score one on ebay - like most valks could be had around 250 but then something happened and now they all go for well over 300.  I just tried bidding on one that eventually sold for 380. N O P E.

according to MFC on facebook

That's my worry.  Simply being near red parts, will catch some reflection. 

at this point, ill take what I can get. Sure beats trying to buy one for mad cash on Yahoo Japan

I want to know the price first.  

 

Well, its probably going to be the same as the Roy VF-1S that just released or pretty close.  I will happily pay up to 300 for this.  

hlj has the regular one back in stock as well. 

come on preorder date....

the releases are even split to reduce wallet shock thank god

God can you imagine the suffering having to order these both at once? 

release.  Supposedly next week (or later this week) for Milia preorder according to one of arcadia's blog posts

Then, we have to say thanks to those KO companies. We owe it to them.  

 

Did anyone ever try the KOs? I wonder how they were. 

just saw an arcadia blog post on twitter.  The blog post seems to indicate reservations may start next week for Milia.  

I acquired my collection through years of financially irresponsible impulse buying

wow at all the paint problems. Not sure if I want to keep mine now.

Might go straight up on ebay once it gets here.

Holy crap I don't check in for a few day and a pre order goes up.  I almost had a heart attack thinking I missed this one, thankfully HLJ sill had it up.  One secured for me.

Hi Metal Preorders, at least for the destroids, dont seem to sell out.  The Spartan is still available.  

mine shipped out as well. 

saburo - any photoshop/lightroom tips on processing? i can get nice photos with the equipment ive cobbled together, but processing is a black art to me.
