That painted cockpit is really I was going to post the link here after securing my copy, but it was the only cooy available (someone must have cancelled his preorder). Then I saw that F360 had posted the link 8 minutes before. I was lucky this time. Bandai should reconsider the available stock for preorder for these popular releases.

Slave IV Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 7 hours ago, beatsing said: I don't think the credit card company would do anything for you. I had a defective preorder that was delayed beyond the 6 months Paypal, and Paypal wouldn't refund. The credit card company said that you should complain within two months. You just have to let the CC company know when the item was actually received. You should be able to show proof if needed with a shipping notice.

I would say they were able to get more since not many cancels from amiami this far ahead of release and amiami is not known for happy about people cancelling too many of their preorders .

They've been known to ban your account for 6-12 Months if you cancel a Pre-Order. But on a positive side, they do have great customer service if there is a problem with a paid order.

Duymon Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I'm happy to see random PO's pop up here or there. Sukkit NY! BTW if anyone's desperate for missiles for some reason Image Anime in Manhattan is trying to sell them for 100 a box which is pretty much what you'd pay for them online now with shipping from Japan. I passed since I paid about that much for 2 missile sets during PO :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafob Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 This is off topic, but a few weeks ago there was discussion in this thread about eBay bucks and how to leverage it. Well, there's currently an 8-13% promotion for eBay bucks right now. I've already accumulated $320, which is a good chunk to apply towards a VF-1S off eBay. OK, sorry for the side topic. We now return to your regularly scheduled programming already in progress... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL It's not that I need the money or rewards (though it's nice), but it's more to hide toy purchases from the warden (aka wife) since she doesn't have access to my eBay account.

That's why I rarely care about insurance for shipping. I always go with cheapest shipping and pay with CC so the money I saved can go towards insuring myself and if I have to cc can refund me worst case scenario.
