There are many of us with zero orders and waiting anxiously for more slots to open up. How ironic it's going to be if those who have multiple PO orders forgot to pay on the deadline payment date.

You have more than one, chyll2? Willing to let one go? Anyways, just throwing this out there. If any US-based member here is going to cancel or drop one of their DX VF-31C preorder. Before you do, please feel free to PM me first. Thanks! Edited August 31, 2017 by no3Ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha sorry Noel but it ain't going to be one of my orders. Already paid for two of them. Last one is with HLJ so I can't pay that one yet. Only two of these are mine; the third is going to a local fellow Macross collector. He gets the most expensive of the three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukenzero Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 A week and a bit away from release and still nothing on the horizon? Probably retailers being cautious. Wonder when the next valk is going up for preorder, as there haven't been many reveals as of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sildani Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Saw they changed the date on NY's site, but I just got this email from HLJ an hour ago: "Thanks for writing! It's currently expected on or about 9/30, but manufacturers sometimes release sooner. We appreciate your business with us! Best Regards, Mark K HobbyLink Japan So NY knows, but HLJ doesn't have a clue? Is that normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyg Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 When it comes to release dates, absolutely. Just about every time I ask HLJ about dates when things are expected, I get this sort of response. Either they really don't know, or the person responding doesn't.

I'm just hoping preorders will open or if not, it's still going to be widely available after release date. But if it's going to be discontinued beyond that, it's still ok. It's just a toy. Did you sense a tone of sour graping there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you sense a tone of sour graping there? I missed the preorder window for a variety of reasons. I'm kind of depending on the Mirage-colored VF-31 to end up like the Messer-colored version. It'll SEEM rare as diamonds for the first 1-2 months. Then, after that, the toy became VERY PLENTIFUL. If you wanted to spend ~$250 for one on eBay, it was available. If you took your chances, there were frequently sales threads on Macross World where people simply didn't want theirs anymore and it was still MISB in the HLJ packaging, and all they wanted was what they paid for it (about ~$220 total). And if you really wanted to take your chances, it's not that hard to find a new sales thread every month or so that sells a Messer-version VF-31 for about $200 used.

Lolicon Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 They should be easy to pick up on Mandarake after they're released. Hayate and Keith's parts show up there regularly, with only a small markup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemanoeuvres Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 The VF-31C was up for a hot second at mykombini for list price 21600. I managed to snag one before it went OOS again. Hopefully they come through. I've never ordered from mykombini before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechaninac Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Saw the emai from Figinstock as soon after waking up this morning; of course, by the time I did, it was already too late... another case of if you miss it by a minute it may as well have been a day. I'm hanging my hopes on HLJ reopening their listing, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
