Do you have any form of alarm?

Nope, I just check most of the  time in  a daily basis AmiAmi at 8pm PST, almost 90 % of the time in that hour  is when AmiAmi updates their frontpage with new stuff, sometimes they update exactly at 8 pm PST, unless next day is holiday the page will just remain the same.  

Finally my KitzConcept Robotech 1/72 figure is being processed from BigBadtoyStore , I thought they would never receive it.

Up in Amiami at 25k

 

https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-045776

just PO'd from them and cancelled my Amazon JP, I know is more expensive by like 2500 yen but at least I know 100% I will have the  Valk secure and will be delivered to me in perfect shape, not downplaying Amazon JP but like I mentioned in past post I never ordered from them and I hear some scary stories about the packaging and also I just can't risk this purchase for such amount money, in the end also is way cheaper like 200% to 100% less  than those prices of the Yamato V2 found in Ebay   

I'm still scratching my head how this was announced out of nowhere absolutely 100% totally unexpected, not sure if Arcadia want's to steal some of the momentum Bandai has with the recent Macross figures.

 Now how about a surprising announcement of the YF 21 PF  in the next  following months Arcadia?

1-3?  My only option was 3-6 days.

When ordering that was the time-frame that was displaying , but after placing the order I think is the same as yours, but still pretty damn fast imo  

lol I didn't put even attention if theres was more shipping options, I was like want to order it as quick as possible before the order disappears, I really want this Valk!

Packaging on the stuff I've gotten has been good, however I've seen at least one picture of less than good packaging.

They are reliable, and the shipping is both fast and cheap (via DHL).

So is DHL their shipping method, now the thing is getting serious probably will not cancel my Amazon JP order then

If you live in the US, then amz-jp is currently the best option, especially with the fast dhl-shipping. 

Ami might have better item-discounts on it if you import from them, but the shipping-fees will most likely offset that advantage.  This applies to other regular japan-shops if you import.  Maybe N-Y will still offer the boat-option if you want to get the lowest shipping-fees with the longest wait/delivery.

Will be sending it to California and so if the MSRP going  for 25 K something, and probably if AmiAmi gets it will be at 23 K something or less, and now add that Y4,500 DHL shipping so in the end will end up with the same price  , ok I'm assuming too much I will stop now lol.

Well, you can't imagine how the $600-1100 VE-1 eBay sellers feels about this announcement. 

 

That's exactly why I'm so excited of this surprising release, a freaking slap in the face to those people.   

Got it at Amazon JP at Y27 000!!,  1200 shipping 1 to 3 days priority mail !!   , still I will wait for AmiAmi for the PO to go online(if it happens of course) cause I never ordered from Amazon JP not sure how reliable is in comparison to AmiAmi superb packaging and delivery, if AmiAmi gets it most probably will cancel the Amazon JP order, 

Or what would be your recommendation ?

That’s like selling your vintage Takatoku and picking up the Origin of Valkyrie 1/55s.

As much as I like this design I just don’t understand why this is being released. Honestly, I would much rather pick up this item  from a KO manufacturer for less. This whole PF is really getting old. I understand Arcadia being miniscule compared to Bandai but they really should focus on some new.

For me is freaking awesome surprising that this being release, I been trying to get one but no luck whatsoever cause the ridiculous scalping prices on the Yamato VE 1 V2 , I hope next they release the YF 21, so they can slap once more those inflated prices of the Yamato V2.   

they definitely got the memo from Bandai about the markings, Max and Millia PF were at 34000 MSRP, and this Y25000 ?, that's a great reduction in my opinion. Definitely will try to get one no doubt!, somebody knows if this will an exclusive or an open item for all customers ? 

hell yeah PO will start soon, most probably the beginning of February.  

I know there are lots of videos already of the DX VF 1J, but I love how in this video it didn't have any issues at all transforming it without disconnecting the legs  or fell off, I think in the end it just depends how you handle the transformation. This valk is a work of Art .

FYI, they showed off Chuck's valk at the same show as the VF-31 "armored" pack.

Yep that's true, but this are I think are brand new and usually when this FB page focus in just one figure and post it the PO is not that far away, I'm calculating a February date for the PO. 

Hory shat!! finally!

It’s custom modding. It wasn’t in the manual nor was featured in the official videos. Same thing with magnetizing the intakes that was posted here a couple of pages ago. 

I see, thanks for reply @no3Ljm  and I was like what !!?  very damn cool nonetheless.
