Really hard for me to decide whether I need the Premium Finish ver., when I already have the Yamato one. Its cool to have the extra details and glowy paint. But for $400+ dollars? Its a very tough pill to swallow.

Since the premium sdf-1 is a web exclusive will only shops like Nippon-yasan have it? Doesn't hlj have some of the other Arcadia premiums up for pre-order?

HLJ had both Roy and Hikaru premium version but both sold out real fast.

Gotcha thanks buddy. Hopefully Hlj will have the premium sdf-1 for pre order. Still waiting for Arcadia to reveal the price of the premium sdf-1. It will probably break the bank, but I'm getting it regardless.

HLJ will most likely carry it, but not sure on the price since their limit Hikaru was cheaper and their Roy was more expensive compare to the Arcadia pricing. page with info here arcadia.ac/products/detail.php?product_id=254"※ The closing date for orders will be until 2017 / August 31 (Thursday). " Price = TBA (most likely around 50000 yen Preorder start = TBA (maybe next week)

Thanks F360 for posting the pics. I love the glow in the dark effect. Don't want to pay up for another SDF-1 but not sure I have a choice on this one.

It's not clear to me what 受注締切日 means either. The most logical would be what you stated.  Also, I noticed that the description mentions matte clear coat. That'd be a nice touch.

yeah, the premium finish ver is definitely the one to get . They really added much more to this compare to only tampoing for the PF vf-1

Glad I got my pre-order in before it sold out! Pricey, but I think it will be worth it!

The HLJ markup is really steep (~13%)! I wonder if it's not cheaper to go through a proxy.
If anyone has figured out a way to buy this through Buyee, please post.

People at macrossworld is playing with the proxy service and right now it "from japan " or zenmarket . They seem to have the best price right now.

Yes, f360. I've been following that thread on MW.  I was lucky to pre-order one last night from HLJ but it seems cheaper to go through the proxy services instead.
