The hmr vf0 will be a bit shorter and may lack the functional landing gear, but appears to be able to pose better and looks better overall, plus it has the shorter wing option for battroid that makes it more accurate to the anime. And a cool stand The cost of shipping by every mode is skyrocketing worldwide. I'm not suggesting that a HMR is worth half an Arcadia. I'm suggesting it's worth less. And the HMR looking better overall...................................

On the one hand, it seems to be loading a lot faster, so perhaps it will be able to better handle high traffic levels during PO Madness, but they once again did away with the option to sort search results by newest arrival, which is how I quickly check if something has been added in a particular category. Took them months to bring it back the last time they upgraded the site. Edited May 30, 2022 by Anasazi37

Not before using points though. they should be good, they are pretty active. I use to preorder a bunch of stuff from them and they always delivered. might have ordered abit too much stuff back then.. 😅 They also toss in some candy and snacks for me most of the time. They use their own Otakumode logo on the shipping box along with a plastic anime sleeve for the invoice and the packaging is good. they also have the other Macross items too https://otakumode.com/shop/619eedf10faffd795c0d6624/DX-Chogokin-Macross-Frontier-VF-25-Messiah-Valkyrie-Worldwide-Anniv https://otakumode.com/shop/627398caf525c400225fee11/DX-Chogokin-Macross-Delta-the-Movie-Absolute-Live!!!!!!-YF-29-Durandal-Valkyrie-Maximilian-Jenius-Use-Full-Set-Pack

I saw three different discounted prices, depending on if I was signed in or not, and if the item was in my cart.

I think there was no tax too.. and Shipments over $150 get shipping fee discounts (up to 100% off).. so you add something , it will save you on the shipping charge. But I already preorder from HLJ so I'm good. but this looks like a good backup for those that want a 2nd one and have never used this site before. Payment is upfront and they have never asked me for more money later .
sh9000 Posted June 1, 2022 Posted June 1, 2022 Looks like The Chosen Prime don't plan on listing the HMR VF-0S.

I just checked there as well and am a bit surprised that they still don’t list it even after the big weekend. You may be right that they may not be carrying the vf0. On the plus side at least with the high price for not being Japanese, the other American sites have no sign of selling out their preorders anytime soon
borgified Posted June 1, 2022 Posted June 1, 2022 Toytards (Toyka Collectables) is located in Vancouver if anyone is curious: It's between Arbutus and Larch on W. 41 Ave (a fairly middle high class neighborhood as my one of my cousin's wife lived in the area during her younger years). Never dealt with them as I live close to the Vancouver/Burnaby boarder.

I buy other figures from The Chosen Prime anyway and using my discount on one of them would be like using it on the HMR VF-0S from another store instead.
betocc Posted June 2, 2022 Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) VF-0S for $144 usd, has anyone heard of them?

That’s pretty close to the price I was expecting all the American stores to have. I had to use discounts to get to what they are offering.

Sanity is Optional Posted June 2, 2022 Posted June 2, 2022 Just under $150 for me, thanks! That's a markup I can stomach, compared to $170 base price plus shipping and tax.

sh9000 Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 https://www.thechosenprime.com/bsmzhmrvf0sphoenix Damn. Same price as BBTS but TCP has free shipping, no tax, and packages items better. My discount can bring the price down but maybe I should just get my second VF-0S somewhere cheaper.

What a bummer, I was expecting 159.99 from TCP. Would 169.99 be the real base price and others are offering a discount or would the real base price will be lower and stores are taking advantage of its reputation and demand?
