I am guessing that they will make the price of the 0S and 0A the same as the 0D. If they spread the release of their products out well, then I think they should be able to sell well. But if they start cramping the releases together and with their current pricing, I think there will be people who will then have to make a decision on which to buy and which not to. If they release the 0S and 0A together, then I believe some will decide to just buy one. While if they spread it out to let say 3-6 months inbetween the 0S and 0A, then you probably will get people who might buy both of them.

I used to be one who bought multiples during Yamato time. Sometimes I bought 6 of the same thing. But with Arcadia pricing, unless it is something I really really want, I won't be picking up anything from them given their current prices they are charging. I have cancelled my VF-0D, and probably will not placed an order for the VF-0S and VF-0A if they are priced similar to the VF-0D as well. However, if they ever end up on HLJ sale then I might pick it up. Not going to get burned like I did during Yamato time where I used to purchase during preorders only for some of the items to end up at HLJ massive sales.

I'm out damn AUD keep on falling. Decided to cancel it as can't see paying A$400 for it. If it was priced similar to the YF-19, I would most likely have kept my order. I think it will still be available at HLJ after release considering a few people have been cancelling it but for how long it stays there who knows.
-
Yup priced a bit high as it's still going about 20k Yen at Amazon JP before shipping.

Two main issues with first run as other people mentioned, is the rear landing gear not able to bend outwards but can be fixed by opening it and cutting a certain part, and the gundpod not facing straight when attached to the arm during fighter mode. I bought replacement arms to fix this. I have the 25th anniversary yf-19 and have an issues where the rear tail fin not being able to be push down in place during fighter mode.
-
The problem is the price as it will cost me close to A$400. I am still sitting on the fence on whether to keep my order. With HLJ stopping orders a few times, it makes you think that production could be limited. If I recall correctly, I think the YF-19 stayed open through the whole preoder period, and as a result was still available for quite a while after release.
-
Hopefully not too soon as I would like it spaced out a bit. VF-0D is going to put a huge dent in the wallet and I am not sure whether I want to keep my preorder given the Aussie dollar have been falling.

NY did not really made a big price increase on the VF-19 as compared to like VF-25S and first reissue VF-25F. VF-19 retail is 23K. They are pushing it up by 3K to 26K about 13% increase. VF-25S and VF-25F retail is 14k, first price hike they push it up by 4K to 18K over 29% increase. VF-25A they push it up by 2K to 16K about 14% increase. RVF-25 they push it up by 3K to 17K over 17% increase. VF-27 Super Parts they push it up by 3.5K to 23.5K about 17%. It's not too bad as compared to like what they did to the VF-25S and VF-25F.

The black plastic has issues so it can break in numerous areas. NUNS triangle, smaller triangle at the bottom, knee joint, and also I believe a piece at the body, not sure how to describe it. So any parts that uses the same plastic as the NUNs, has potential to break. Like Chronocidal said, if you don't plan to transform it, then it should be okay, but bear in mind, my NUNs and little triangle cracked just sitting in the box for 2 or 3 of my VF-171. I sold them at a low price due to the cracks.

I have a few times managed to add items to the cart for Amiami and unable to check out as per their response that they don't reserve the item once added to cart. However, HLJ appears to reserve stock once added to cart as I added the VF-19 then refresh page and saw sold out and didn't bother to check my cart at that time. About 5 minutes later, checked my cart saw it there, and managed to proceed to check out even though it has been listed as order stop.
-
If they suspended your account, just write to them and ask them why and if they said you broke their policy just apologies to them and let them know it was by mistake as you though the first order didn't go through.
-
Not necessary. They have frozen peoples account in the past for breaking their 1 limit policy.
-
If they limited to 1 per household, best that you have cancelled the extra one as they may freeze your account for breaking their 1 per household limit.
-
Hobby Search and NY haven't put up theirs yet, so there's still hope to secure one.
-
They have fulfilled all my orders so far. Downside is payment upfront. But with the Aussie dollar falling, might be good for me.
-
I check out late after it has been sold out as it was sitting in my cart and I got email confirmation and it's sitting in my account.
-
Looks like HLJ reserve stock for you once you add to cart. I managed to add to cart but didn't bother looking when I saw it sold out. Then though have a look at it again and manage to go through the checkout. Will wait for email confirmation.

Still opened at CDJapan
-
HLJ opened then closed.
-
Sorry to hear that Saburo. That area can be prone to that issues as the hinge can be too tight. I got a VF-25S from someone as well where this has happened, but the piece have not snap off yet. Was really hard to get the back piece to bend back up that I had to dismantle and figure out what was causing it to not be able to move back up. Turns out the hinge was really tight.
-
Right now available will be NY or you go through Amazon JP. Amazon JP you need to use forwarding agent. I am not sure about other places like Mandarake as I don't use it. If you can wait a bit, you can try monitoring CDJapan, Hobby Search and Amiami in the hope they received some additional stock and put it up again, but will be slim and the stock will most likely go fast.
-
HLJ stuff up a bit and a small number of orders were processed with more than 1. They were supposed to change all orders to 1, but a small number of orders slip through. However, they said no orders of like 5 or 10 went through.
-
The benefit of HLJ is that their EMS rates are discounted rates compared to other sellers.
-
I am doing mine after HLJ release their Black Friday sale just incase if there is anything I would like to pick up on top of it.
-
Did some managed to get from PA? I haven't read every single post but from those that I have read, it seems everyones in stuck in process at the moment.
