gingaio Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) After the excitement of seeing the POs open for the SDF-1 regular version. I went back and processed a picture of the Yamato release. Sorry this SDF-1 is right out the box and is plain compared to kyekye and MacrossJunkies custom SDF-1. Thanks for the pic, Saburo. Even though it looks a lot plainer in comparison to the Premium version, I would wager most collectors were more than happy with this version until the recent news. Things are always peachy until something better comes along. Edited August 4, 2017 by gingaio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neko878 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I missed out on this item the first time around. I cant wait for this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erizai Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I think Arcadia is surprised by the response.... Premium one is more popular then the regular one this time. (or may be all the time premium one is always doing better, hmm?) Probably since already biting bullet, might as well biting a grenade? My personal justification, for VF-1s I am good for the none premium, but if I can only afford one premium, SDF-1 is the pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmkjr Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 sh9000, would you know if NY is able to insure the package for the full value if using ferry? Shouldn't be more than $6 if the rate table is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetJockey Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I like the lights / glow on this one and I would purchase this version over the massive Kids Logic version. Transforming and moving parts will almost always win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not convinced that I might be better off using HLJ and shipping it with my vf2SS.... NY is not cheap by air and they don't offer much of a break for combining. Decisions decisions.

chyll2 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 how high is high though? My normal SAL SP rate for me was 2,400 yen. Price now to ship it to PH is 4,200 yen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemanoeuvres Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) In my experience the cost of registered SAL at NY is still close to other online retailers but once you go EMS they add a hefty markup to the cost of shipping. The lower sticker price is usually more than enough to makeup the difference but it seems like a wash in this case because the price at HLJ, BIJ, and CDJ isn't that bad.

anubis20 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I paid Amiami 5,620 JPY in April of this year for shipping my SDF-1 and they use thick boxes and like 10 pounds of paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 The NY price is a good deal if you are a patient and calm collector, have special customs requirements, and don't mind waiting two weeks to a month for items to arrive. I picked up Masterpiece Artfire earlier this year and it took one month to ship from them, using registered SAL. It looks like my premium Roy is going to have similar hang time. If you are not patient or calm, or you know that your local post office is rough with packages, then it might be better to wait for another store that has a good deal on EMS, FedEX, or DHL.

HardlyNever Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) The regular version really doesn't look that bad. Ofc, those pictures are designed to make the toy look as good as it can look. Like most people here, I'm going to hold out for the premium version. But if the regulars somehow find their way to discount bins by March/April next year, I might just settle for a discounted regular version (I doubt it will happen, but you never know).
