sh9000 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 To cancel at CDJ, just go to the order page and click cancel. If it was preordered and paid with paypal, you’ll immediately get the refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podtastic Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) No mess no fuss pre-order. But then why would there be? 16h00 Japanese time is 09h00 over here. Edited July 2, 2018 by Podtastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Got one from NY. Does anybody know how to cancel a preorder from them? I don't see any option to edit my orders, do you have to write a letter or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read there is less chance of them blacklisting you if you use chat instead of emailing them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may take me an extra week to get the item but since it looks like Sylvie with a new hat, I'm not too put off by that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Focker Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Skipping this one. I've got first VF-2SS with red markings. Another one with blue markings isn't that much a difference for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez, what is with the price difference? This is just a heads up in case you haven't check recent HLJ move on people cancelling orders. Make sure you just minimize cancellation with them so your account will not be suspended. 4 hours ago, Kinzoku VF said: Not a particularly hyped release. Personally, mostly wanted it for completion's sake rather than anything. And couldn't be bothered to wake up at a stupid hour to preorder it. Pretty sure had I missed it, it wouldn't have been difficult to secure one on release day at retail. I had preordered the first one too. And upon release, it was available for retail without any mark-up for at least a few weeks. I assume it'll be the same this time around. Anyways, no issues as it was still available in most stores when I got up, picked one from NY I wonder if the amount of Macross II pieces produced is lower than your average HMR VF? I see you haven't fell out of love with NY yet. That's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derex3592 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Don't get me wrong, I'm totally happy Mac II fans are getting some good quality HM-R love, I just wish Bandai would finish out SDF Macross before they move to much further away from it. I know the Destroids prob don't sell as well as VF-1's, but I gotta believe they will give us the last two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 So is Bandai done milking the VF-2SS HM-R mold after the Nexx...or will we get Tamashii websclusives of the Faerie Squadron 'yellow"....and the "green" version to conclude the run?

jenius Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 They're such simple repaints, it's a shame Bandai didn't just put 1000 aside from the Nexx production run and offer 500 of each yellow and green as TWE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boobytrap Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 So I wasn't able to go online the last couple of days. Sign on today to a pleasant surprise that Nexx was still available at NY. I figured I was going to be stressed out finding it somewhere. I'm glad for the easy pickup but hopefully the slow sales don't mean we won't get a yellow, green, or acrobatic team colors (I'll gladly take TWE). Even worse, I hope that it doesn't mean Bandai won't invest anything further into Macross II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Honestly, I'm hoping they put Macross II on the backburner for a while, and give us some Zentradi stuff and Desdroids. Or hell, a new valk entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiriyu Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I just received my first modern Hi-Metal toy of any kind this afternoon, a Hikaru 1A Super ordered via Mykombini on Ebay. I hadn't purchased any Macross toys for about 7-8 years, and had sold my sizeable collection in mid-2015. I had missed out on the earlier 1/100 Hi-Metal toys as I had been pretty deeply ensconced in the Yamato ecosystem and hadn't really seen the point of them back in the day due to the then-current price/scale factor, but nowadays that situation seems to have been inverted (Will wonders never cease? Smaller-scale toys are now available for less money than their larger-scale brethren? Wow!) Of late I've really been feeling the itch for a VF-1 to mess with on desk duty, and the HMR seemed just the ticket. Pardon the superlatives, but what a great little toy this is! I had watched a few video reviews of the recent releases (thanks as always Jenius!) but still didn't know what sort of experience really awaited me in terms of handling and aesthetics. I am very pleasantly surprised and impressed by the quality of sculpt, detail, and the rather nice sense of heft and tactile feel from this little valk in full-dress Super form. In my opinion it is every bit as nice to play with as a Yammie 1/48, and maybe even a little nicer! The jointwork is all nice and tight, and the "heft factor" versus size recalls the original Hi-Metal 1/55s and even the 1/60 V.1 Yamatos. This little valkyrie looks great on my desk and is so far a joy to handle. Job very well done, Bandai! I doubt that I will ever become a valk-squadron completionist again, but I think that I can now understand why a lot of people are in relation to this series... How I wish that we had these 15 years ago. I'm happy to report no issues with my leg armor, although they were assembled backwards as received - thanks to all of the posters in this thread for your observations and anecdotes in alerting me to potential issues - it is much appreciated.

jenius Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Man I saw 'first valk in a long time' and 'vf1A hikaru HMR' and assumed your welcome back was going to include screwed up leg armors, glad it was a happy ending.
