ZorClone Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 How does the combined shipping work at NY if you have 2 preorders that come out several months apart? Do they just hold the first till the 2nd can ship with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atheonyirh Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Weird, MyKombini said they were on vacation until April 3rd. But I just received notice from them that my Millia's VF-1J shipped, with tracking number and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Dang, I wonder if this is true. UPS claims Milia is due to arrive tomorrow!!! And it only shipped yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly had a heart attack but luckily these things don't sell that fast and I got my order in from the preferred NY. Also, my HMR collection finally got it's own well deserved shelf...top shelf! I only just stumbled across this pic. I love the setup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Man oh man. Seeing the Defender and Spartan on PO on NY, I'm super tempted on ordering and get the HMR Destroids only. But I really don't want to start another line. And this also means that I need to get the Monster too for sure. Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at it this way...the Monster is going way cheap now....think I saw it for $140 somewhere....that should offset the extra you will need to pay for the GBP....the rest should be available for close to MSRP.......and everything is easily still available.....

Even easier for you since you can order both Destroids at preorder discount rates and the Monster is on clearance. DO IT NOW! The pricing for the Monster will not last once initial stock is dried up. That piece alone is a thing of beatuy that you MUST own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchieNov Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Or look at it this way. Let's say the HMR continues to be successful and 2 years down the line they release that valk that you've always wanted (e.g. Flashback 2012 VF-4). You decide to get it, but it feels so lonely just by itself in your collection. Your compulsiveness then forces you to hunt down 2-3 years worth of HMR releases at possibly higher markups. Compare that to just jumping on the HMR wagon now while it's not yet too late to catch up. If you decide 2 years later that the line isn't worth keeping, you can always resell it and recover part or all of your expenses in purchasing them. And at least you won't feel the regret of never experiencing what it was like to have an HMR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no plans on the regular VF-1's. I already have enough VF-1's in 1/60 so I'm already good on that. And if I do get one VF-1, it will be Hikaru's but seeing how much that one going nowadays, I'll just let it pass. 10 minutes ago, jvmacross said: 7 minutes ago, jenius said: I find a monster reissue unlikely, it may be a real collectors item some day.

Yeah 67 Us for me. Which made it still pretty expensive even with the 40% off. Im guessing it's the shipping that's making the monster not a great seller which is a shame. Like jenius said above, this most likely means it won't get released again. I want to get another but too much other stuff coming out steadily.

Boobytrap Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 it's going as low as $170 with free shipping on ebay right now. $194 with free shipping from Ami on ebay (might be cheaper if you buy from their site depending on your shipping costs.)

I'd have to go back and do the math but I think eBay with the free shipping is the way to go. Also that way there is no surprises when you get the invoice like there was with the store.

sh9000 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Get at least the Monster and Destroids for this line, maybe the enemy mecha as well. If you go further than that and are unhappy, I'm always willing to take donations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big s Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I have a feeling the tv version of the armored 1j will eventually come out and with the upgraded parts from the more recent valks may make it worth the wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to combine shipping is with product that is already in stock. So if you waited for the actual month of the pre-order release, and bought something else in stock, then you can combine both of them as per their tutorial. Of course you will need to be aware of the release month and risk of that pre-order running out during that month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
