I ended up preordering from Nin Nin but I found it odd that the option to ship through FedEx/DHL was cheaper than the EMS option, yet was still estimated to be the fastest delivery time.

fwiw, 

The Bandai DX VF-19 Kai has the same release-date as the Arcadia 1/3000 SDF-1 reissue.

If Arcadia doesn't delay its product, that is.

As such, try to plan accordingly (including tariffs and stuff) ...

¥4,000 more than HLJ, and another ¥6,000 shipping. I think I’ll just wait to see what the prices are after release for this one…

...and yet your handle is "Sanity is Optional?"  🙂  Preach on, brother.  I might fall victim to the late tax on this one, but I'm with you on wait-and-see.

The Megahouse SDF-1 sells for an average of about 20K JPY on YJA....original MSRP back in 2016 I believe was 7K JPY...I wouldn't call selling something that was released 9 years ago for more than the original MSRP as scalping....but Nin-Nin does need to price is more realistically...

Yeah, not defending the pricing which is a LOT more than Mandarake when they have it. Still, aside form how old it is and that it's new, there are few decent TV version SDF-1 iterations after Takatoku (I still think this is too small, and not even on par with WHAM's DYRL one).

You also have to wonder if the uptick is also due to the increased SDF-1 talk of the DYRL reissue from Arcadia. Nin-Nin taking advantage of that as well.

I've said in some other thread before. Nin-nin are scalpers. Their prices are automated to go up exponentially as stock goes down. And then continues to go up over time at the last unit or two. It's a promised future extortion if you don't buy now. Basically they are coersion scalpers, so I avoid using them if they aren't the last choice left, or significantly lower priced during PO, and I have to not have anything I want to combine for shipment, because their policies for that are not really to your convenience either.

I don’t get it. Isn’t this what happens with most collectibles that have a limited run?
