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.

Completely forgot about this preorder. Still available at HLJ so I picked one up. This is the way preordering should be.

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) ...

I got one preordered at HLJ as well, they seem to have stop taking new orders. FOMO again for me, but I am sure I will enjoy it.

Well, was busy working on a work project due Monday, and guess I missed all the preorders.

Oh well, at least it wasn't a Valk I was super into.

¥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.

roflmao!!!

scalper gonna keep scalping...

...exorbitantly!

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...

[Radioguy]

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.

[PointBlankSniper]

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.

[jvmacross]

If only prices somehow went down when available stock became scarce.....or better yet, prices stayed the same forever....lol

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

[MisaForever]

Welp. Sucks that I pre-ordered my SDF through Nin-Nin I guess but I've purchased from them in the past and have no complaints.

No. Normal retailers sell retail products close to MSRP, especially during launch period. They don't scalp at launch or even during preorder period, and start antique pricing while it's still available at other retailers and second hand stores, just because their own stock is low but not clearing out. On the contrary, most other retailers would lower prices or put on sales to clear inventory instead.

Well not exactly bought the High Metal-R Scopedog ATM-09-ST (AT) from Mandarake at 25,000 yen, Which is a Tamashii Nation Exlusive and would have cost 25,300 yen from them since tax is always a given from P-Bandai, will be delivered Monday - Purchased yesterday...
