Thanks Gakken! Yup! Only one since I got other preorders for non macross stuff.

Finally got my copy today. I noticed that the shipping box looks like it got wet and dried up. Noticed a little crease on the front of the toy box itself. A sigh of relief came when I opened it and the toy was undamaged.

I'm confused, both my Alto and Michael pre-orders are on the same po. They want me to pay for Alto by the 19th. How much am I supposed to pay? Just for the Alto, or for the whole thing even though they won't split up the order.

Sorry bro! You would need to pay before the deadline of the first one to be released but wait til after the second one is released before they ship out. And of course, if you don't pay they'll cancel the order and risk your account. Happened to me with the VF-171 and YF-29 Anniversary.

Just paid mine. Is the release date the 19th or the 31st?

I think he only wants one. Unfortunately the reality is that this hobby of ours is an expensive one and more often than not, I've paid way over retail for stuff I've bought over the past years. I try to only get one of an item myself since Macross isn't the only thing I collect.

I got both of my units in today, I got one from CDJ and one from NY. Surprisingly they followed each other neck and neck to get here at the same time.

I suddenly got visions of them having a firefight ala Alto and Brera on the way to your home. Haha!

What the difference in Sal and Registered air mail?

Not exactly sure but I think airmail is supposed to have priority over SAL wherein the SAL shipments get shipped if there is space available on the plane. I could be mistaken though. Your milage may vary though.

Got my shipping notice from NY this morning. Just used SAL though since I got a whole bunch of other non macross stuff that comes out this month.

Just got a payment request from NY for this. What's the official release date again?

Mine's finally out for delivery.

I used clear nail polish on the contact points and just rotated the engines back and forth til it dried. Worked for my Alto.

Just got my super parts today. Kinda sucks now that NY has been trouble fulfilling orders lately. Could be worse though. At least they're not cancelling orders yet stating that they're unable to acquire them period. Just a delay. I still remember getting that cancellation email from BBTS with the VF-25S renewal. Ugh!

So throw more money at NY......get shafted?

Well I guess it makes sense as a seller. 1 valk = 1 order number that gets deleted off the pending orders list.

I read in another forum that NY is prioritizing single item orders first and those with multiples (2 and over) after that.

Mine was shipped by NY as well. Need to wait a about 8 days or so since I chose SAL. Glad I waited.

Just got my shipped notification from NY. Ordered SAL but at least I know its on its way.

EDIT: Oops! This was meant for the Ozma YF-29 thread. My super parts were shipped on the 19th via EMS.

Really? I thought it was the end of May?

Got the same email too. I paid as soon as got the payment request email from them about 2 weeks ago. I used SAL this time instead of FedEx to offset the higher price. What about you guys? If you want to cancel, all you would need is to send them a message in your order. Looks like they're giving us the option this time around.

The email does say that they will be able to obtain the item but there will be a delay. Hmmm...maybe we can ask for upgraded shipping.

Looks like the release date at NY was moved to 5-12.

CD Japan doesn't charge until it ships if you're paying via credit card though

Also, just a heads up - NY seems to be disallowing cancellations since the revamp. Either that, or if you made to many cancellations, they'll not allow it anymore.

Thanks Saitou. I wasn't even aware CDJapan took credit card payments.

Dammit i missed NY. I forget. Does NY require a payment up front?

No. Which is why a lot of members still use them. Gives you a some time to save up unlike other sites such as anime export and cdjapan which require payment up front.

And gone again...

Got one! Not too bad at 199

Damn. Missed it again.

Did hlj post yet?

Nope. Not even a placeholder yet AFAIK.
