I paid on the 25th of March. Just curious. I also ordered a back up on Okini which i have had zero issues with in the past. Thanks all. Why do anything until you have to? Just sit back, relax and strap on your seat belt. Edited August 14 by Slave IV Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paco Grande 7 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 I ordered my Kaki from NY but I still haven't received my YF-19 DX set that was in stock and paid for July 7th. It's been "preparing for shipment" forever..... I'm not expecting the Kaki for months. I'll be shocked if it ships anywhere near the release date. EMS is working fine in Canada and stuff gets to me from Japan in a week so that ain't the issue. I put a ticket in for the YF-19 because it's been way too long but no reply as usual.

jeniusornome 46 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Release date is supposed to be Aug 25 or so, so filing a claim for goods not received before it's even out would be a bit premature, regardless of where you ordered it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shawn 43 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 That Max VF-1S is incredible, nice work!!! Have you thought about painting the wheels white? (my only real gripe with the Bandai 1/48) Instead of the 001 decals coming in the Kakizaki to fix my Movie Hikaru tailfin, I wish they'd swap in some white wheel hubs!

There is no creativity needed to paint red parts blue, just tons of masking and a steady hand. We have such talented forum members who can really bring these toys to life with weathering and backdrops/dioramas. Edited August 15 by ghostryder Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, I'm just whetting their appetite for your awesome weathered customs . Some battle damage from his aerial skirmish with Milia would also be epic.

Pontus 47 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I've been away for a while and missed the Roy pre-order (not that I'd have been able to get one). I'm sure this has probably already been said a bajillion times, but if anyone pre-ordered extra DX Roys, please PM me. Ebay scalper preorders are already going for $460!!! I did get a VF-1S Hikaru just in case so I could repaint it and get a 3D printed Roy figure, but I'd rather just have the right one to begin with. Some sort of trade would be beautiful, but I don't hold out much hope in that. Thanks guys, and sorry for the absence. Hope everyone is doing well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quite a few of us here were also not able to secure a Roy during PO week, but we're all hopeful for stock availability during release week, and historically speaking people were successful with scoring a 1S Hikaru on release week.

weiser21 6 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I wonder how it will be for the Kakizaki release? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeniusornome 46 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 It was an exclusive, aren't they usually really limited in supply? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
borgified 192 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 5 minutes ago, jeniusornome said: It was an exclusive, aren't they usually really limited in supply? It's supposed to be limited, however I think Bandai has made more just to cover unfulfilled pre-orders (don't count on this statment as being correct). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kaiotheforsaken 20 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 The release order of these has been so bizarre to me. Do we know if they're based on anything...like character popularity or something? Maybe I'm just a fanboy, but the fact that the first 1S we got wasn't a Roy, and we also are getting a Kakizaki before Roy just kind of blows my mind. It's also kind of a funky Mix of TV and DYRL.

I know it's already sold, but it would be good to know when I'm thinking about buying something, how much I could expect to be paying total. Their website wasn't too clear about what was available or the cost of what could be available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
