    Nippon-yasan on certain items is also cheaper than hlj.  So if you can get in on their preorder, that grand total even with their higher shipping cost is comparable to hlj, sometimes their grand total is what hlj charges before shipping.   

    indeed, as i stated before, there lower price + shipping charge is even lower than hlj price without shipping, that alone makes it really cheap for some items. Thats why ordered the RA with them and cancelled with hlj i saved like 40 bucks on shipping alone

    here is an example.

    hlj and ny

    i added the latest arcadia VF-1S. Since it was released there is no discount price for it, so dont mind it, but the shipping cost is quite different.

    EMS is the best option, since fedex or similar courier services have special taxes in my countries.

    Good point! A couple years ago they were bad with pricing but then got really good...they now consistently have the lowest prices and that's what matter most to a like of people (me included). They might be getting a lot more business than they used to and need time for adjustment. It's all good with me because again, I don't care when my items arrive as long as they arrive. I just want the lowest prices.

    Yeah i noted that. When i started buying on NY couple years ago i thought some of their prices were too high compared to others but lately they being real competitive. Even with their expensivd shipping charges they are cheaper than hlj without shipping.

    I don't think any of this is going to go back to 5 years ago or further. That's usually not how the world works, but in any case, I'll get one. I've wanted one that is official, so this will be a buy for me.  It is pricey, but I'll just be taking sack lunches to work for a couple weeks to make up for it.

    well, might take into account that when you get a valk, the price not only includes the cost of production and licenses, but the research and development cost, which in  most modern valks shows a lot of attention to detail, seemless transformation and diecast in crucial parts.

    The lancer dont have any of this, its just a plastic mold with pretty much a rotable helix. Thats why i think its overpriced, if it was around 10k yen (which is higher than hi metals) seem like a fair price for it.

    I am ambivalent about this. The old SV-51 clearly needs some improvements but what if i replace my old Ivanov and then Aracadia won't release Nora and CF? Will i get stuck with a new SV-51 and two old ones? That would not look good.

    Second, i dislike most of the things Arcadia did with the Zero line. The only release i really liked was the 0S which was a really great piece(and that i bought for the RA). But I do have to confess that i consider myself  a very lucky guy since that i never had a single issue with the old Yamato models from the Zero series. So i guess i will stick with them for now

    Why wouldnt look good?

    Remember

    If you guys want the best transformable Prime for the dollars, trust me on this, get the BIG G1 knockoff, MPP-10.  It is absolutely incredible. Got mine for $99 shipped I think. Then $10 for the 2 little Autobot symbols to go on the shoulders. Done. 

    And its cheaper now. I got mine 67 bucks. Even better since it arrived more than 4 months late, ebay made the seller refund me. So basicly it was free.

    What really? I guess that shows what I know about Mazinger and Mazinger figures, which admittedly isn't much, I've never liked the series or designs. So is GX-70 roughly standard Chogokin height? 10-11" or so? I just figured Devilman was standard Figuarts roughly 6" scale. Is Devilman a giant Figuarts? I know his box is bigger and flashier but I didn't know he was bigger, I knew he was to scale with that particular DC Mazinger, I just though they were both about 6". Interesting. So ignore me Slave IV, I know not which I post about :mellow:.

    That GX - 70 mazinger is the newest mazinger release, using the design from the tv show. The devilman its indeed a figuarts figure, but you could say its oversized, to match mazinger, i think bandai is aiming for mazinger vs devilman feel.

    Those SOC are around 18 cms and have a good amount of diecast content, the SRC goes around 12 cms and are more plastic than diecast.

    The 11 inc (33sh cms) figure are only 2. DX chogokins (would be the same line as macross valks) are mazinger and great mazinger.
