If you're signed up for e-mails and wait a week or two, there will probably be a sale for 10-15% off that works on pre-orders in that time. They put the discount code in the e-mail. Once they even did a 20% off Macross deal that worked on pre-orders too.

I got one YF-19 in July with 20% off coupon so it is worth to wait something similar as you describe.

Maybe some PayPal added conversion? It got to my pay with PayPal pop-up and that's where I stopped. Still got one at the 288.0 and in no immediate rush

Change payment currency to Yen to avoid PayPal conversion rate

So you're the lucky bugger who got that! I saw it a few hours too late. Haha. Did you get the VF-4A and VE-1 too? Been trying to get those as well.

They are part of Mandarake's Grand Chaos outlet 3rd anniversary sale, hence the pre-order.

Only 0D. I missed Elint

Macross forum braintrust...I have a question: do you know where I can find a VF-0D PF for sale? I scoured Yahoo JP and a few other places but I cannot find any for sale. Thank you!

I got one from Mandarake a couple of days ago but I was lucky. It is weird because it is marked as PO and will be shipped until 12/9.

First listing at Mandarake for the new VF-1S Mechanic Edition for 42,000 yen, of course already gone

VF-1S Strike Hikaru Mechanic Edition.

Still available on my end. However it was cheaper to get it from Yahoo Auctions JP, but current prices are now close to AE price.

How was your experience with their PF version? Came across some negative reviews for them but the PF is very attractive despite me having the regular version.

No problem with the PF version I received, package was good, premium box was good, figure was good.

Anyone get a payment request from AmiAmi yet?

I got it yesterday.

How is Nin-nin? I'm always to tempted to try them, but came across a few stories of them listing items they actually don't have stock, and then the buyer is either stuck with a long refund process or a voucher. 

No problem with them on my pre orders, go for it
