This is my view on Arcadia as I am a newer collector too. I came around still a year too late for the rerelease of the two VF-1S so I had to settle for used ones. The Premiums are sharp looking and would love to get a couple, but they proved near impossible to get and insanely expensive to get in the aftermarket. Hopefully they rerelease the armored Vf-1J...I will definitely get one of those.

No kidding. Well, so that's what happened. I was so close. If I had just been a few seconds faster on the draw! As if that's humanly possible. They must not have had too many available. I really only wanted the two VF1S premiums. If I could get those, I would have tried to get any other premiums as they were released.

Nope, I won't pay massive markup. I almost bought one of Jungle for 40000 yen but couldn't talk myself into it. This will guarantee I never get a premium finish Arcadia VF of any kind, barring I find a good deal on one, which I doubt. The near impossibility of collecting some Macross stuff is frustrating. I did save a ton of money today though, haha.

Unbelievable.

The Vf0s and Miriya Super are still available. Did they really sell out in 30 seconds or website glitch? My purchase history is blank.

Well, they were available for two minutes. I got my order through...but then it disappeared. Didn't get to put in payment data. Not sure what happened...?

Yes sir. So here's hoping that works out!

Oh excellent - FromJapan cancelled my orders just a few hours before the sale even though they promised they could do it in the sale time frame.

I am excited...hope to be able to snag one of each premium VF 1S. Wonder how much extra stock they have available?

Thank you both. I have sent them a pre-emptive email with the information asking about it. The whole sale falls outside of their normal business hours so I am curious to see what they say.

How well do you think they would do with something for sale in such a narrow window? I would really like to get some Premium VF1s without having to pay $400-600 a piece.

I bought two different Hikaru VF-1A Supers (one new and one used) - and I somehow lucked out. Both of them had the correct lower leg parts. Hopefully that situation is an isolated incident and doesn't show up in future HMR releases.
