Ugh, just paid the NY markup. I feel dirty, yet happy to know I'm going to get a Max. Looking at Mandarake, I can't believe the 1A is going to go below the 1J, which sells for 30K min. I may have been able to score one closer to retail at some point, but seriously, if the ~50 bucks I'd save was such a huge deal, then I shouldn't be spending the money anyway.
-
No, your correct, I just typed it backwards. The problem with trying to work, F5 different sites for a cancelled order, and make a coherent forum post... Something had to give. haha
-
Yeah, I meant it would be one part of a larger trade, either the 31A and some cash, or another Valk. I know people out there will have doubles and triples of something I don't have yet.
-
I have a feeling you're going to fall in love with the Max, and the 31A won't be worth it when you can only have one or the other.
-
Is it terrible that I'm seriously considering offering my 31A as *part* of a trade for a the 1/48 1A if I can't get one before markup?
-
I gave my 3yo son my old Exo Squad Robotech destroids. He loves them and they're made for play. I would expect you can find loose ones relatively cheap.
-
It wasn't a link to any official site, just a post. That's why I mentioned I can't confirm the accuracy of the report. I figured one of you all would have better sources to check. If I see something official, I'll let you know.

Just saw a post over on Facebook that POs for the armor open on the 10th. Can't confirm at the moment.

10 years ago, I would have loved this design. I think, as I get older, I've become more of a minimalist. I'll say though, my wallet is super happy I'm not getting this one. I've put that poor thing through a lot the past month!
-
If I didn't know better, looking at these pics, I would have thought this was some new Gundam, not a Valk. For as pretty as the 31 is normally, this is just so over the top that I don't find it a compelling buy other than for completness. That said, I'd love to see this redesigned into a new destroid. Totally remove the sleek VF elements and replace them with a foot base and body meant to support all those heavy weapons (big and bulky) and it would be a cool successor to the Cheyenne II.
-
Depends on the Valk. I transformed my vf-25F immediately, just to see it in the different forms, then back to fighter for display. My RVF-25, however, I never transformed, as I really only like the fighter mode, though I suspect I'll have to eventually partially transform it to put the supers on once I make enough shelf space for the full display (fighter+ghosts). The two I've had the hardest time picking a mode for have been my vf-19 and my 31C, as I'm a big fan of all three modes and I don't have three of either!

Anybody out there still collecting calendars? If the page is still being updated, I can post pics of the 2010 and (soon) the 2009 Frontier calendars, if there's any interest.
-
Good to know. This is my first Arcadia, I had been out of the game since the v1 Yammies. Been catching up on the DX's, but most of the PFs coming out have been too pricey.
-
Nah, button mashing from across the pond.
-
Hell, reasonable markup is a-ok with me if it means I don't have to wake up and 2am and mash the refresh button for 5-10 minutes just hoping to get one from the traditional sites.
-
From the Amiami listing: Sales Period Jul 27, 2018, 02:00 ～ Japan Time Does that mean it goes on sale at 2pm Japan time, or is the website smart enough to tell you when it goes on sale in your time zone?
-
Got my shipping notice from Big in Japan about an hour ago.
-
I wish you, and everyone else still waiting, the best of luck! I am interested to see if it comes in the shipper box or not. With all the issues around this release, I wonder if NY is getting their stock directly from Bandai, or if they're starting to go through "other channels".
-
For those keeping track... I received my shipping notice from NY last night: Order #:488754 Shipped: Registered Air Mail Ordered on 10/6. Ordered 1 unit.
-
Ordered 1 on: 2017-10-06 20:47:48 Still waiting. Tried live chat, canned response. No email.

It sucks that this topic is my first trip into the MW forums (Hi everyone!), but for those who are looking for when when others ordered their 31a from NY to get an idea of when they may get theirs shipped... I placed mine on Oct. 6th, about 6 hours after the pre-order opened, and I still waiting. I did try their live chat feature, but I'm pretty sure that it's either a bot driven system or they use an off-site help desk company, so I'm guessing the chance of getting a "non-canned" response is close to nil.
