Been staying clear of NY since the 31A debacle. Seems like they do honor their orders, it just depends on how long it will take. Just happy that I will be able to complete a full TV squad with the Delta team. Can't wait for the Bandai Madness for the VF-31E. Was in HS during the Yamato Days, and was a poor college grad during the Frontier days. Happy to have the disposable income for the Seigfrieds.
-
Is the DX VF-1J pretty hard to acquire? Felt like it was available for more then the norm after release. Might throw one of mine up in the FS section.
-
I think this is going to be the new norm with P Bandai exclusives moving forward. Seems like they are keeping the best items as Japan exclusives. I don't see the Astraea listed on the other country P Bandai sites. Something that I did to avoid the midnight madness, I submitted a request to my proxy a day before the preorder window opened and just went to sleep early. My proxy was able to secure a copy for me as well. Only going through preorder madness for regular/general releases. The P Bandai stuff just proxy a day early because it seems like most of the etailers will be scalping us for the P Bandai Japan exclusives from now on. G/L and happy hunting gents.

Jesus Bandai sure is hammering our wallets early this year. We have MB X-1 just released, and now they are dropping the Preorders for the MB Astraea and the VF-31E this week. Guess I'll be having no escapades this weekend.
-
I would recommend keep trying until the number drops to 0.
-
Yup it still says that there are 4 left.
-
Yes, as long as it’s before the item is instock. If you cancel while it’s instock there is a restocking fee. There is no cancel button, you either have to email them or call to cancel. Their service is great, I’ve canceled the toyworld Devy boxset on them which was $500 plus with no issues.
-
Very reliable. This will be metal build #3 with them. They get all their items from bluefin, so it will be fulfilled, just be prepared to wait a month to two after Japanese release.
-
Glad they are giving us the full cloth at release, and not making it a BS P Bandai set. But now the question is what will be the BS P Bandai set lol.
-
On the fence on the EVA. Waiting for final release details later this week to reserve judgement. Still hoping for an Astray Blue Frame 2nd Revise, along with the Crossbone Gundams to go with my F91's.

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
Vortech replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Man I was going to skip the gunbarrel, but man Bandai sure did put some elbow grease into this thing. Plus that BMFG, now I regret canceling my 2nd MB Strike. -
You should get your item, and if they can't deliver you will get your refund ASAP. Just keep in mind they have the highest shipping costs out of all the etailers. Just in case anyone wants to utilize BBTS, https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/77867 But that's a real last resort option.

Guess I'm one of the lucky ones, I managed to get 2 fullfilled by From Japan, but got hit with a $545 upfront payment. Bandai prices just keep on going up while cash in my wallet just keeps on going down. I don't know what's up with CDJ lately, but it feels like I have been waiting on MP-41 Dinobot forever. Everyone who ordered from Amazon Japan has their copy, yet here I waiting for it to still get in stock at CDJ. WTF CDJ WTF.

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
Vortech replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Gunbarrel is an easy pass, great for those that are Mu La Flaga fans. Just gonna be waiting patiently for the eventual Strike Rouge Otoori, Strike E w/IWSP, Perfect Strike, and Strike Noir. Still waiting on Bandai to do that Astray Blue Frame 2nd Revise though. -
Yeah I did the same thing, but now I'm wondering if I should order 1-2 more, as I think this may turn into a rare piece in the future, seeing as how the usual suspects aren't listing too many copies for sale.
-
Glad I canceled all my HLJ preorders on Weds morning. Somehow knew that the 31S would be easily available after release. Seeing as how they are still not sold out, either Bandai produced more, or there just isn't that much interest in the S. Also canceled my MB Strike and DX YF-19. Figured I only need one copy of a Valk instead of Doubles. More for ya'll.

Kenichi Sonoda Original Sketch Auctions at Anime Expo
Vortech replied to JetJockey's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I used to go to AX every year, but now its mainly just teens cosplaying. AX just isn't the same, there are way too many kids there now. -
Here's hoping that Bandai gives up the M9D Falke in MB form as well.
-
There will probably be less demand for the VF-2SS Nexx, but I'm still staying up. Noticed that amiami has a limit 1 on the item. For Silvie's unit they had a limit 3.
-
Ah thanks, I try not to use Gundammodelcenter anymore, as the last time I used them, I had a $660 charge for knives in China lol. Good thing that Chase's fraud protection is so great though, me and the rep that worked on it just laughed that someone in China needed a crap ton of knives lol. Yeah you got me, forgot about all the RGM variants just got too excited seeing BD-1 and imagining the possibilities. The one Metal Build official or knock off I would kill for would be the RX-78-6 Madrock - hopefully one day they do it, but unfortunately I don't think its too popular. Thanks man, I'll have to try and give him a shot.
-
Preordered and paid for one set of the lil Drakens from AE. Was thinking about two but at 7000 yen each didn't want to let Bandai's assault on my wallet continue.
-
@F360 is the samuel decal dude a reliable seller? Will definitely pick this up, but is it just me or does the chest seem a little off? Also hoping for a BD-2/3 release, along with an RX-79G, EZ-8, and RGM-79G release. MS08th is by far my favorite and hands down best Gundam series. Would love to make an MS-08th, and MS-07th team along with a make shift Exam team with units 1-3.

Glad to hear some people are getting their VF-31A while some are not. To me it seems like there is no magical May/June VF-31A restock coming into NY. I'd say it was a diversionary tactic for people to lose Paypal protection, and to give NY some time to buy 31'A's on the secondary market. Its coming from the secondary market because they are being shipped without the TWE brown shipper box, that's the evidence/proof that they didn't get it directly from Bandai. Kudos to those that waited for it, I kinda wish I did, as I would have had my 3rd 31A seeing as how they finally got to the U.S. 10/6 orders. But do I regret canceling my order, not really because I don't think I could have waited 2 months after release with the fear of my cash being in limbo. I personally use NY as a last resort now because I don't have full/trust/confidence in them due to how they are handling their 31A issue. G/L to those of you still waiting. Here's hoping that Bandai releases the Arad 31A under modex 01, and an Armored 31A under modex 02, and I'm not a fan of Radome's, but god dam Bandai hurry it up with a dam VF-31E pre-order.

Kuma it looks like the people that already received Ray reside in Japan, and got theirs from Amazon.jp NY seems to have shipped out, and my CDJ order was shipped this morning.
