anime52k8 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) I haven't read a single post in this thread since these first went live but I bet I can guess how the conversation has gone. First everyone flipped out trying to find a pre-order to jump on, then everyone started cursing bandai, then somebody said they secured 5 for themselves then people started throwing around the word scalper, then lupin showed up and went on an angry rant about how unfair a hypothetical situation that doesn't even effect him is and then got really indigent when people called him out on his BS. oh, and just ordered one from NY, don't know why.

OzmaLee74 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Got one as well! Did it restart at $151? Or at 183.36? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrentonx Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Started at $151.00, I believe. So it's a little over $30 premium for them to send one of their guys around to buy up stock in the brick and mortars maybe... ...and down. Hope most of you guys got one!

mechaninac Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Missed it by about 15 minutes... I hope Hobbyfan comes through, but I'll still attempt a preorder with HLJ if I happen to catch it.

Loop Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 OMG, was not looking for a few minutes and missed it again.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrentonx Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Yeah. I'm gonna keep a lookout for HLJ even though I only need one of these things. I'll probably end up throwing it up on here (at my cost plus shipping) for anyone not fortunate enough to preorder. I think that's the only way many of us aren't gonna get severely scalped.

mass driver Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Unbelievable. Even old faithful, Nippon-yasan is out. Guess I'll just have to wait till they have a restock or a MW'er who is willing to sell me one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neoexcaliber Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Knowing NY, it'd be back up in a few hours but at a slightly higher price. At least that's what happened with the 171 CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanix Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Edit: oops, n/m late to the game (again). Can't believe I missed it. Checked NY a few minutes before the post about it going up, no updates. Check back later, it's gone. lol Edited March 4, 2013 by Phalanix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edi Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Why am I not surprised that I missed it again. I was catching up on Continuum and decided to check here, and bam, grayed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Sigh. That's what I get for playing Macross 30 all evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edi Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 How is Macross 30? I was debating on buying it, but since I don't understand Japanese I have a feeling I'm going to get lost in the menus and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was debating on buying it, but since I don't understand Japanese I have a feeling I'm going to get lost in the menus and such. Did you play the PSP Macross games? Basically an enhanced version. The gameplay is generally the same, with "RPG" elements to collect items and simple quests. Back to topic; Nippon Yasan always impresses me with how many orders they manage to entertain. My guess is they will come back again with the same price for another round of preorder, and after that, the price will increase again.

Scyla Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hehehe, I'm with you master. Just got up and saw that I missed it again. Still it's getting rather expensive now. Managed to pre-order a VF-171CF for $170 with shipping. Calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean. *seesaw* At least the weather is nice...
