I might get it if it goes on super discount sale, just like how I got the latest SOC Yamato. Otherwise, I don't think I'll ever own one. }D

Whoa! Amazon really has unbelievable sales on SOCs? How much off? Also, TheMazingerZ.... How much did you get your SOC Yamato for? I have the BPX version and we ordered Arcadia from BBTS (It will be a Christmas gift for me, I hope it arrives before Dec. 25th).

Wow, that was super cheap. How often does that happen and did that total include shipping?

I kinda doubt the Arcadia will ever go that low. I would imagine it bottoms out at...18k yen. And that's my optimistic estimate.

Yup ! If it gets to the 18k point we are lucky

I feel bad for completionists... I don't. They brought it upon themselves. Guilty as charged.. On one side, I think it's cool that I can look at my SOC collection and call it "complete", as compared to my G1 TF and other collections. At least in the back of my head, I've got something completed, so it does have a certain sense of satisfaction. On the other hand, Bandai loves putting stuff out that just ticks me off (the tons of Mazinger repaints and reissues, and the large, expensive ships for example). It feels like there are certain SOCs that generate some level of regret when you really think about it and it does lower the whole experience to some degree. Still, I'm just glad Bandai hasn't gone Hasbro-Takara crazy with endless repaints (Jebus, every figure has a repaint somewhere. It's like collecting twins and triplets and so) so that's a silver lining right there. lol. Gold

Just kidding.
Here's what I could glean from your image. Hopefully I'll put up a more detailed list once I get the actual thing. I'm not very well versed with Harlock and the Arcadia but here goes.
1- M-54 Arcadia Attack theme 2- M-52 Tochiro and Emeraldas' Theme 3- M-59B Harlock theme(?)
1+3 - Stop music playback
Combination A+1 Ignition A+2 ?? A+3 ?? A+4 ?? A+5 Beam ??
1+4 - Big ?? 1+5 - Small?
Sleep mode - after 2 minutes of non-use.
If anyone can add anything please feel free to chime in.

I honestly think that when it comes to repaints, HasTak is a lightweight compared to Aoshima's gokin line...

The sale sounds great but the shipping price is close to $60. It almost costs as much as BBTS'.
