    And this might seem obvious, but to add to Sqidd's comment, you need to sign up at Mandarake first, then those things are available. ;)

    Anyone know why the Ozma YF-29 is so much more expensive then the others?

    I guess so... I figured the 30th Anniversary Skull 1 YF-29 would be the more rare one. I might have to get that one if I cant get a Ozma 29 for a better price.

    Both of the options below are still available/taking orders. I think Luna Park comes out to a little less if you use the NEWCUSTOMER code (assuming it still works).

    It may be more rare (not sure but probably) but the anniversary decos are usually not as demanded.

    I love all the stamps on the box.

    @Kuma Style Love the bro fist bump photo. Seems something that they would do if Macross was done today.

    You better save those stamps @OmegaTaco Supreme! I kept my set from Saviant when I got the Arcadia non-PF VF-1J Milia. ;)

    fist bump / high five in Gundam 0083, one of my favorite mecha-as-mecha-not-super-robots series:

    @OmegaTaco Supreme have you opened it? Fingers crossed the hips are in good shape for you. Really great figure.

    That's the question right there as Saviant got it as a secondary unit from Manda and had no issues with it. Now it's on @OmegaTaco Supreme if it can stand up to the test of being transformed after being boxed up from Oz.

    Yup solid Valk. Actually all the joints move smooth like butter. Packing job by Saviant was top notch.

    Laaaaaadies aaaaaaaand gentlemen, it's time for another exciting round of "Which should I buy?"!

    Our contenders today, in the blue corner, a combined package of the Yamato YF19 with fast packs and Yamato YF21 for around 125USD. The only issue is the YF19 has some slight yellowing.

    In the red corner, the Arcadia YF19 for around 200USD. The only issue is that, well, it's one figure for almost twice the price.

    Lock in your votes in three, two, one...aaaaaaaand the survey says?

    A Yammie 19 and 21 both for $125.!? That's crazy. IMHO I say get whatever you really want and like most. If you just want to scratch the 19 & 21 off the list then go for that but personally I prefer the Arcadia 19 over the Yamato just by looks alone. Best of luck on your choice;)

    Which Yama's are they? If they are the V1 1/72's dont do it. They dont hold up well. If its the 1/60 Yama's $125 is kind of SUS.

    Get the Arcadia YF-19 and a bottle Kiki joint tightener @rob_charb and forget the Yammie YF19 and YF 21 combo for $125 USD (most likely the 1/72 scaled versions).

    Ah, forgot to mention. It's the 1/60 version Yamato. A friend is selling them. The Arcadia is new.
