xrentonx Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) That's a big MAYBE... Sometimes people cancel out their preorders and the preorder is placed back up on the sites and that's a chance to get one...but it is very random. Other times, stores may hold a few allotments from their preorders and put them up for sale on release day. It is really up to the store though. Best bet is to keep watching this thread for now. Most of us are pretty helpful and will post when we see a preorder open or if there is a chance to purchase one through other means. Good luck, man! A would hate for a situation like this to happen to me Edited April 7, 2013 by xrentonx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 So they will be listed on sites for sale in July also for the actual release? Just want to be sure I understand, I was thinking you only get them if you preorder. So July is another chance? If I were you, I would at least try to get a pre order. If it's too much look around elsewhere in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I assume that some folks preordered as much as they could get to make sure the get the amount the want because the market is, as I said, overheated. So some will let their preorders go until the release date. These are not the only reasons there are still a lack of founding or a change of mind of course. So additional units can be available at the release date. Of course this is a gamble but you have the releases of the two other Frontier DX Chogokins to observe what's happening. Also there is always the possibility that the retailers get additional stock from Bandai so they can open their preorders again (unlikely but it happened). I got my VF-25G after release from amiami. Without the preorder discount of course but I got it non the less and with that release the preorder madness was already waging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loop Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Ughhh, I just took a look at the page for the pre-order on NY $395.12 now. I would search the Japanese net. If you have a friend they can most likely get you one for around 200, but I have not searched since last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 That's the wrong renewal. They're still 21000 yen for the July release, though orders are currently closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightCastle Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Man! I feel bad for anyone who still needs one. I am glad that so many were able to get one, though. Best of luck to those who have yet to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Got the courage to go pre-order an RVF-25 at Nippon Yasan, found out they were out of stock. Bandai, I am disappoint. If this keeps up, all your base are belong to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sreichma Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I'll just go nuclear on ebay, at least te new reissue should drive the nuke price on ebay down to 300-400 instead of 500-700. I'm sick of going through the duck and cover drills, I'll just look into the mushroom cloud and get it over with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Magnus Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I was not able to snag a preorder but I have the v1 with fast packs so If they go on e bay for up to $400 I'll be fine with my V1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the RVF-25 opens up tonight! they only made a renewal version of this, regular mean the mass production ver as oppose to the ex171 alto Does anyone know if HLJ has the same option (pay later) at checkout?? Not the Paypal option but the one like NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 The RVF's should be coming up again soon. The VF-171 cancellations are opening up new preorders and I assume the RVF's should follow suit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmx222 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I think the VF-171 CF preorder is back after NY received all the canceled preorder from ppl got cheaper VF-171 CF from HLJ last week. So the RVF-25 will be back up hopefully in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plastik Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 they only made a renewal version of this, regular mean the mass production ver as oppose to the ex171 alto so was there an ex171 alto renewal? if yes then I assume that the one on NY is not it?

jenius Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 No, there was not a 'renewal' of the EX171, there has been only one iteration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) so was there an ex171 alto renewal? if yes then I assume that the one on NY is not it? there's only one version made but it was made after/during the renewals were released so they are considered like a renewal in terms of latest design engineering, though it's hard to transform (and rumored to have been completed before the renewals were released, i could be wrong about this info ) edit: i see jenius already answered you Edited April 8, 2013 by davidwhangchoi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 got it. thanks! np! i meant to say in my response above the "regular version" is mass production colored while alto's is white in color. in response to ericos' question. sorry for the confusion.

Gakken85 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Yeah that's the 171 ex that came with "armored parts" that were pretty cheap. Think they are going for $300 bucks. http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=6554 They don't have any of the gimmicks the Ozama parts have, like opening bays and moving thrusters. After seeing the nightmare I think I'd rather have it than the Alto painted 171, since I already have an Alto! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
