  1. I'm still waiting.
  2. Eh...not quite everyone. I ordered 2 at $225.29 and I'm still waiting to hear. My safety from Anime Export, however, got here on Monday.
  3. I hope relatively high. I may have missed out entirely thanks to N-Y. Two cancelled orders and one being held hostage.
  4. Absolutely made sense to me that there would be plenty of brown ones...a little coincidental that they showed up in the episode that they did. Not sure how well the brown 1J and VR 1D sold for Yamato, but...I'm old school and would purchase just about any VF-1 variant in the latest/greatest line of toys.
  5. So, I've always been under the impression that there are two (possibly three) canon examples of the VF-1D. The one Hikaru finds himself in during Ep1 "Booby Trap" and Ep2 "Countdown" The one from Ep25 "Virgin Road" that sports the same paint scheme as Max's J model And what I always assumed were VF-1Ds from that same episode Which brings me to my question...are those VF-1Ds in that third still? And if so, are they sporting the standard "mass production" brownie scheme we've seen on A and J models? Or is this an animation "error" of some kind? Or, is this some abandoned version we were never meant to see, as discussed in the thread linked below? What I really want to know is, has anyone ever produced a toy representing a mass production paint scheme VF-1D?
  6. Well, THAT valk turns into a giant moth, so...lucky you.
  7. I purchased two Roys for $225 unit price (USD) on 07/03. Still waiting for some news. Order still shows as "pre-order confirmed." I had opted DHL/FedEx from the get-go. Not sweating it just yet...not much at any rate. All the BS with NY has me gun-shy though.
  8. That's what they told me on Saturday. However, I've seen several folks here who ordered from Nin-Nin Game that have either received shipping confirmation or have otherwise seen some movement on their orders, which leads me to believe they had some stock on hand. So, I'm hopeful they'll get a fair number of the ones ordered on 07/03 out the door this week, but time will tell. Personally, NNG has given me no reason to think they won't come through. The one previous order I had with them shipped without issue. That said, I'll feel better when mine ships.
  9. My safety Roy VF-1S order from Anime Export was originally slated to arrive Wednesday and now promises to be in my hot little hands sometime today. My July pre-order to Nin-Nin Game, I'm still waiting to hear something. Their support folks said this week sometime, but I know others have already seen some movement.
  10. Same boat. Hang in there.
  11. That's been my experience. The Roy VF-1S at Okini Land has been there and gone a few times over the past 12-24 hours. Every time I've seen it, it's been offered at around $266 USD.
  12. A Roy I ordered from AE shipped and is slated to get to me this Wednesday (currently sitting in Cincinnati, OH apparently). Still waiting to hear from Nin-Nin Game...some folks already have. I expect to get news next week.
  13. Interesting. My NNG Roy came in at $225 unit price. No word on shipping as far as the order status. I did open a ticket and I did get a response. They told me their stock delivery was a bit late due to COVID, but that they expect to ship next week as soon as they can get to it.
  14. You should see one soon. I got my shipping prompt earlier today and then the payment prompt (for shipping) later. About 5 minutes after I paid for shipping, I got the email confirmation that it was gonna be on its way. That's been within the past 30 minutes or so. My order currently shows "shipped" complete with DHL Express tracking number.
  15. I also have an order for the Roy VF-1S coming (allegedly) from Nin-Nin. Have not heard anything about shipment yet. Their site was down for a bit tonight, but I went back to confirm that I got it for around $225 USD (before shipping and fees). I didn't pull the trigger fast enough when it was first available, but I scored one when they were doing their little reappear/price increase dance. I very nearly ordered one at ¥19,800 through Nin-Nin, but I screwed something up when trying to pay with credit card and then it was gone (only to reappear about 20 minutes later with the price hike).
  16. Got a shipping prompt for the Roy VF-1S from Anime Export today.
  17. Must have...I was able to get my Kakizaki from Okiniland pre-order without issue, but I had to go elsewhere for Roy.
  18. I have an order from FEB 2020...shipping option was JP Ferry from the start. All of the items in this order were supposedly in stock at the time of the order. It was paid in full in FEB 2020. It has yet to ship. I'm still struggling to get them to explain why this hasn't shipped. I am in no hurry, but even in these times, this is unacceptable. They were quick to take my money and all I get from support is "the delivery center has been contacted" or "the delivery center must not have seen your order."
  19. Ah...fair enough. The DX Chogokin and HMR lines are the first import lines from Bandai that I've collected, so I have not yet felt the "Bandai burn" outside of some transposed fin numbers and maybe some vapor-ware release teases.
  20. Out of curiosity, why? Seems like a pretty benign thing if you don't intend to use the feature. Or am I missing some sarcasm?
  21. I share your hope if not your concern (about Nin-Nin at any rate). I only have one order with them prior to the Roy pre-order, but they came through with minimal issues. N-Y, on the other hand, has been a huge pain in my ass.
  22. Mandarake - Fukuoka has a VF-1S Hikaru for ¥28,000. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1125044023&lang=en&ref=mail
  23. Okay...thanks! That would have been a surprise to me. December at the earliest sounds much more plausible (didn't catch your previous comment on the first pass).
