jenius Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 I'm waiting to see what our traditional outlets will put it up for but, considering Arcadia's price, that from Japan price isn't bad.
Universe1010 Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Still not up on retailers other than hlj. Surprising..
Mommar Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 I keep checking NY, not sure who else will have it available but I'm thinking in the next day or two jumping on FromJapan instead.
linitrofe Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Arcadia.ac will keep orders open no matter what until the 7th, right?
derex3592 Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Jeeez...glad I don't want it...when did buying toys that are supposed to be enjoyable become such a gigantic pain in the A**???!!! (not to mention dropping over half a G)

(not to mention dropping over half a G) Since Bandai... this Arcadia thing is a weird outlier.
Sandman Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Wow? Really? That's a whole extra $200 CAD for me. I can't see why it would cost that much more. Arcadia disappoints again.
ZorClone Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Well then. I have a lot of Bandai Star Wars models to practice on before the non-PF version ships out, lol.
erizai Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 It's quite painful to wait for the PF till Apr next year, Considering still need to pay the extra. the normal edition is getting alluring... decision decision... Guess there will be a lot of manual works at the factory side, thus Arcadia cannot come out with too large number of PFs...
Loop Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 The PF version is the only version for me. I still have the old Yamato version so I'd rather go with the newer release with all the detailing.
no3Ljm Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Other concern would be do we need to buy additional shipping insurance since EMS only covers Y20000?

erizai Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Placed one order at HLJ. this is the historical height for my toys price. Wife will sure to complain... even I park it at home decoration cost. lol Finally caved in due to HLJ pay later scheme... ouch...
Bahamutzyro Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Thanks for heads up! I scooped one up as well!
jenius Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Looking forward to canceling that pre-order when I find it at a better price. If NY or AE fail me I'll try one of those services discussed earlier.

Daedalus Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Sweet finally got one from Hlj, but mmmm.... signed up with one of those services and they don't seem too bad.
Zx31 Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Paid for Premium via Zen Market. Now to forget about it and be pleasantly surprised in April
RoadWarriorMax Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Its back up at HLJ! I accidently preordered 2. Maybe I'll ebay one. was bummed wheni first saw POs closed. Thanks to everyone for all the info on this thread. I lurk more than I post.

Thanks to everyone for all the info on this thread. I lurk more than I post. I recommend you cancel the second because it's limit 1 per customer. They might cancel all your orders.
gingaio Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) LOL. Not sure how one 'accidentally' preorders two of these things. Anyhoo, I didn't see the limit-1-per-customer warning at HLJ. Maybe I missed something? Edited August 23, 2017 by gingaio
erizai Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 I was almost did the same thing. when I placed first order. didn't receive the confirmation order from HLJ. Getting impatient, almost click the 2nd times... lol
Isamu-7 Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Thank You for the heads up !!! I already place my order.
Sildani Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Ordered! Now to wait, and to not think about the cost.
Mommar Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 I went ahead with HLJ simply because I can ship FedEx. Not sure if I can from those other proxy places.
RoadWarriorMax Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) No option to cancel one of the orders yet On the first order I got distracted, and it took me a while to fill in the payment options. when I hit submit it almost looked like I had been logged out. so logged back in but did not see any orders, so I placed a second. Then got two pre-ordee emails I'll pay that HLJ markup to make sure I get one . Edited August 23, 2017 by RoadWarriorMax
Universe1010 Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 For this price I secured one from HLJ without paying upfront
