I have not, so I am wondering how good or egit they are. Thanks! Edited March 30, 2018 by Shizuka the Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardlyNever Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Decide for yourself. That price does seem a tad high, especially for a pre-order price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shizuka the Cat Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Just pre-ordered the HMR VF-1J Super Valkyrie (Hikaru) from CD Japan.... there was only about 20 minutes left before their sakura coupon expires, so I decided to use it. *sigh* Time to reset my counter...

borgified Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) I believe that @no3Ljmmade a post of all the time differences around the world in the VF-31 thread. Is there a possibility that specific chart can be reposted here as the pre-order for the VT-1 is arriving soon? If the VT-1 pre-orders are up on 4 pm Japan Standard Time then we can have a better visual understanding of which time zone of us members are in exactly. Note: Get your coffee or any other caffeine fix ready for the madness. Edited March 31, 2018 by borgified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrambledValkyrie Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Does anyone recall which shops allow multiple quantities for preorders? I'm thinking about getting 2 of the VT-1 and would like to get them from the same place to help with shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AE will most likely let you order more. NY usually has a limit of 99 in one order. I’m sticking with NY for letting me buy multiples, cheapest price, and cheapest shipping option.

Big s Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Last preorder for here in California was at ether 11:00 pm or 12 am. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one more than a few minutes past midnight pacific time. I do think a few stores may start later though, but I always worry I might miss out and order from the standard places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) No place holder at NY as of yet. They tend to list a few hours later than everybody else don't they? Last time I panicked so I ordered someplace else, but I like them the best. Edited April 1, 2018 by Lonely Soldier Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
