    I purchased direct from D4Toys as well. D4 request a FedEx account number so they could add a tariff charge to it. I setup a FedEx account then gave D4 the account number. They shipped promptly thereafter and charged an additional $24 to the FedEx account. 

    Whats next for Arcadia?

    They never even teased one. It doesn't mean all hope is lost but with the DX just having been released, it seems unlikely.

    I could be wrong but I was pretty sure they did so in a tweet prior to the pandemic. You could *just* make out the leg and armors of one. That was about it though. I don’t think that was a VF-1D. I’ll have to go back pretty deep in this thread but it was here in the forums that I saw it. 
     

    edit: I couldn’t find the actual Arcadia tweet but I do remember being excited about this one.

    Does D4toys charge upfront for pre-orders?

    Yes. I just ordered from them last night.

    Ordering from Amazon is $300 plus tax (CA) comes out to $330. Ordering this from D4 with the missile set bonus is $337 shipped.

    Is Pose+ utilizing any of the transformation improvements that Sentinel did with their Legioss?

    The change in the cockpit/nosecone process was a massive improvement for soldier mode.

    I have no idea. I think only a 3D printed prototype has been shown thus far. There are images of it in this thread. I would look for them but am responding to this on my phone.

    So, I've been waiting to get a Legioss for years. Is the Riobot the one to get?

    It’s the best out right now and a Tread is coming out for it but overall the Alpha is tiny. Maybe 6 inches tall in battroid mode for a $250 figure. A Tread is around $350 and I think having both will be well worth it. 

    If you’re willing to wait and have the cash Pose+ will come out with a 12 inch Alpha in a year or so. It won’t be cheap and I’m estimating ~$400+ but it will be a top notch high quality figure going by their current extremely expensive but high quality Pose+ figures they currently have out now.

    After some breakages and cracks with Sentinel and my old Gakken Mospeada, I think I'm ok with the parts forming. I just want a larger scale version of what I have now at a reasonable price. The parts forming also allows for better articulation so maybe I can pose it and make it look natural and/or stylized. Also, after dealing with many third party masterpiece scale transformers, I don't want to have to deal with using tools to transform and enjoy my toy at this point in my life.

    Nice! How is it? Do you like it?

    It's a great quality figure. great weight to it and the joints are super tight.. almost scarily so initially. I mainly just took it out of the box, added the cape and posed it. I did not try out any of the hand or weapon accessories. There was a warning in the instructions to not swap out the hands when it's cold and to use a heat gun/blow dryer prior to attempting to do so. I took that as a hint that I might break it. The getter beam belly opening gimmick also doesn't quite function as intended as it catches on something internally. Not sure what's going on there.

    I don't think it's as good as the Boss Borat figure that just came out though.

    Does anybody know when the new carbotix black getter will be released? First date was december 2023 and i was under the impression that the toy was actually released in Hong Kong. Despite this, everything is silent on the usual japanese websites, including the one i placed the preorder with...it doesn't seem to be in stock anywhere yet and no live pictures either.

    I just received mine from BomBusBee about a week ago and that's with a 2-3 week shipping time.

    Yep, just shy of 13 inches tall. Definitely an Alpha only release, a Beta would be massive. 

    I would imagine this is going to be rather expensive. 

    Yeah.. Pose+ releases are generally in the $400-$700 range.
