    Hi-Metal R

    Vortech replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    I ordered 3, and yeah they are sending it sal Parcel. Can't remember the exact amount, but I think it was 4253 yen or something in that area.

    Yeah YesAsia is legit, but their prices are high. Shoot at $400 I would sell you one of mine.
  3. Vortech
    Guess they got me haha. I find Bandai to be unpredictable. Hopefully it goes up on NY for a cheaper price then, and then I will try to cancel my order with CDJapan.
  4. Vortech
    Yeah the JP site doesn't ship to NA. You have to use a proxy service to order off the JP site. They have a US site that is based and ships out of HK. http://us.p-bandai.asia/ The site is being sluggish right now though.

    Didn't order from anime-export because I thought they were charging an arm and a leg. the biginjapan price isn't bad compared to what I just paid. 35000 Yen. For those that have missed the various windows CDJapan has 4 left as of this post. Cost me $325 after shipping. Still $54 cheaper then bbts. http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-256789?s_ssid=e33b705a0c5b5b63fb I wouldn't hold your breath. Wing Zero was a different beast. One of the most popular Gundam's in the U.S. that appeared in an OVA/movie and was listed on the U.S. P Bandai site as well. They posted it on the U.S. P Bandai site early on. The Astraea Type F is obscure having only been featured in a manga, and with the lack of a U.S. P Bandai posting I don't think odds are hight that this item will reopen. I just have this feeling that this one will be rare, as anime-export posted it early on, btts has a crazy upcharge on it, cdjapan had a higher then normal upcharge as well, and NY is nowhere to be found. I feel that this thing may be limited release, as Bandai probably figured demand wasn't to high; thereby, limiting supply which in turn is driving up demand. Bandai be messing with us, telling us that pre order madness can strike anywhere haha.

    Hopefully this shows up on the US P bandai site, so that we don't have to pay NY and their recent snail shipping speeds.

    Yup Bandai's assaults on our wallets seem to be relentless lately. After the surprise VF-31A preorder, their is no more logic to Bandai releases. Our wallets are no longer safe lol. The Astray red frame I can't blame them for the route they went. For some reason it's a popular design, and it seems they can't pump out enough red frames. The Astraea not so much, so I don't think they will go as wild. I figure the Astraea Type F is a web exclusive to figure out demand for the white version which will probably get a retail release.

    Was gonna skip this, but then looked up the white Astraea, now I want both smdh. You already know what Bandai will do with the F2 parts, cash grab=option parts. But here's hoping they include. Bandai is killing my wallet Q4 2017 - Q1 2018. I'm actually hoping for a break next year.

    ^Appreciate it, your the MB MVP!

    CDjapan was actually cheaper then hlj by like $2, probably due to the difference in their conversion system. Scored 1 via hlj, and one at cdjapan. March is looking like it's gonna be an expensive month. Mospeada Stick, VF-31A's, and now MB Arbalest.
  11. Vortech
    Man how did you find it on cdjapan, I can't get it to come up on the search results.
  12. Vortech
    Surprised the HLJ window is staying up so long.
  13. Vortech
    Thanks for the link, scored on HLJ. 1 sec window at amiami. Was able to cart at hobbysearch but couldn't checkout due to sell out.
  14. Vortech
    Sigh, you got me buddy, I'll see ya at Bandai Pre-Order Madness.
  15. Vortech
    Dammit, why is Bandai releasing so much good stuff all at once. Wonder how quickly this will sell out, the Leviathan took a while.
  16. Vortech
    Just paid for the regular Millia at amiami, and noticed that their shipping rates have jumped up $10-$15 across the board. SAL is now 3500 yen, and EMS 4200. Makes NY's shipping rates look moderate. Glad I only have one more open order with amiami. Will be utilizing them as a last resort now.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Vortech replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Checked once I saw this, and yup got a double whammy. They canceled my VF-31J Kai and my MB F91 Harrison. But already got a refund notification from Paypal, so it's A OK, they just saved me $500. Will probably pick up another VF-31A to help with the pain of cancellation. Was looking forward to the 31J Kai too, it was starting to grow on me. Also the orders were completely deleted from my history too.

    If trying to do a Kaneda's bike custom there is this as well.

    I really did like the Gundam 00 Series, but the pricing on the Metal Build Exia 10th is just too high. Along with knowing we will probably never get MB versions of the Dynames, Virtue, and Kyrios I just can't get myself to pick up the Exia, as it was the least memorable design for me among the 4 CB Gundams. Just saw the F91 price on TWE, and don't feel too bad now, guess I paid a $30-$40 premium which isn't too bad.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Vortech replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Can't be sure if they asked for upfront payment, as my Bandai Pre Order Madness training kicked in. On CDJ I noticed if you pay upfront there are less steps in processing your order, hence I always prepay on CDJ to make sure I secure my pre order, as every second counts. G/L on finding your copy.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Vortech replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Thanks for the offer, but I was never able to get complete squadrons, or doubles for other Macross shows as I was a broke student or starting out in my career back in the day. Going for broke with Delta lol.
  22. Vortech
    Jesus, Thanks F360. Instinctively preordered the F91 HMC edition. I think I need to buy a lotto ticket. Scored the F91 and the VF-31J Kai all on one night. Only thing I am curious about is if I waited for the F91 would it have been less when it goes up at P Bandai?

    I just contacted NY regarding if they were going to be listing Ray for preorder and they were very cryptic. Might bite the bullet and just preorder from AE.
  24. Vortech
    Man holding out for NY to list the Ray, but still nothing. Might cave and just order from AE. It's like AM/PM lately, too much good stuff. Just checked NY, Stick version no longer available for pre-order, and AE cutoff date is 10/20. Is it just me or are these preorder windows pretty short?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Vortech replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Yeah it looks like me and Graham jumped on Las Vegas Dad's post. Was not expecting it, and fought a 10 second urge not to buy, but I am weak and caved lol.
