Only if you can arrange yourself a genuine Japanese phone number to register with, the one Tenso gives is already registered to a P-Bandai account, and cannot be reused.

Chronocidal 484 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) Will see whether From Japan comes through tomorrow then, just paid my order with them. Not a bad price, if they get enough stock. Edited December 24, 2020 by Chronocidal Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agent-GHQ 10 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I’ve never ordered from BIJ before so I hope they come through. Though some who have claimed to be successful I’m skeptical especially for this exclusive item. Not gonna spend my Xmas smashing that F5 key all day long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kyekye 86 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I've used BigInJapan like 10 years ago. They delayed my pre-order shipment 3 months and I canceled my order. They black-listed me now So I guess all these small Japanese online shops are pretty bad in different ways overall...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Right now the people that already paid are not confirmed orders . It’s just a paid preorder request. If fromjapan can order it tomorrow, they will cancel and refund your money . Ok so people are preordering the preorder? I did not know you can do that and it probably explains why the last several orders I tried to make there right when the item went live were cancelled.

Chronocidal 484 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Yeah, I hadn't used them before, and I was surprised to see them go live this early, but it makes sense if they're taking orders ahead of time to place with the Bandai site. We'll know soon enough if they ran out their order allotment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They will let you order through there system because it's mostly automated but if they can't get it they will refund it right away. I have a feeling those who pre-ordered before the link goes live will have their order cancelled because they can't purchase it for you yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking that everyone who preorders the preorder will get it and it’s the reason I’ve been getting my orders cancelled even though I place it right when Bandai opens their sales.

Arakure Knight 1 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) As said above for those who wish to try their luck, Nippon Yasan pre-order link up now - 2,000 yen more than the BIJ pre-order one: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/33413-super-dimension-fortress-macross-dx-chogokin-vf-1d-valkyrie-fan-racer.html Seems like most shops rather list preorders on Christmas eve rather than on Christmas day itself.

Used my credit from the SSP and instead of the usual Paypal payment, used my credit card so I'm better protected. Hope this works out better than the SSPs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guyffon 48 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Wait, why do people still order from NY when they get burnt by them for the SSP debacle? Really curious here. I am still on the fench for the 1D as I have a hmr of it already, but that fanracer....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eggy99 96 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Expectations blown away. Even more excited for 1D now. Was not expecting a Fan Racer to be included. Only disappointments: need a non helmet Hikaru for the Fan Racer as per his arrival to Macross Island seated Minmay to go in the cockpit with Hikaru I'm going to have to ask my friend in Japan for a favour and get it for me under his Bandai account, then have it shipped to my Rakuten warehouse. Maybe by July / August EMS shipping will be back up again and I won't have to rely on sea mail, but I might still consider shipping it sea mail, since I don't mind waiting if their is considerable shipping fees saved via sea mail. If it arrives in 1 week, or 3 months. It will probably be the same thing - sit in the box for a long time until I find time to play around with it or find a place to display it. My 1J and 1A Max are still in the boxes. I only opened them to check they not faulty. I imagine this is what will happen to my 1S Focker too.... I really want to do some weathering effects etc on my 1J and 1A Max, but I've been waiting until Summer in Oz so the Mr Hobby coating sprays I use come out of the can without condensation that occurs when spraying outside during colder season. After the 1D, the other variants on my wishlist are: VF-1J GBP VF-1S Super Hikaru VF-1A Angel Bird (to display along with the Fan Racer) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seti88 713 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Got it at AE! Hope this doesnt turn out to be a dud getting it before actual pre-order release date. But at the moment, MOST STRESS FREE PO EVER! At point of PO anyway. MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU FILTHY ANIMALS! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spanner 518 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) Next I'd love to see a TV Kakizaki or a TV VF-1A brownie at least. I recently picked up a Yammie 1/48 Angel Birds so I guess I'm happy to wait for that one a bit longer. Besides I think I'd rather a Cavaliers before an Angel BIrds..

Roy Focker 210 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I too order from AE. Used a CC but paid as guest via PP. Please don't screw me over! This is going to be pricey after shipping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
