Guessing they "found" some more in stock ... 9/13/22, was out of stock 9/12/22.

Missed the typical preorders ... but just happened to notice it's at BBTS, with a limit of 2 per customer.

Stumbled on this yesterday.

I got a response saying yes we are aware of the issue and are working with Arcadia as to how best to fix, please don’t ship from your private warehouse as your item may be affected, we’ll get back to you. 

Got a similar response ... which is a little odd, given that it's already been shipped to me and I sent them photos of it.

I had to Google that.

Too much Life of Boris and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game trilogy. 

We'll see what HLJ says, since I just contacted them and attached some photos of my defective foot.  Oy Blin!

Mine arrived this morning, I just lifted the flap to see if there was a difference between the two feet. Both point away from each other. As you can see, the left side points away way more than the right side one does. I'm assuming the left side has the fault maybe? 

 

More than likely ... I just inspected mine and noticed mine was slightly pointing more than the other;  opened it up and gently retraced the feet from the fuselage.  CYKA got a defective one.

The packaging for the Series 2 Armors are pretty much the same packaging with slightly different graphics as the Series 1.

Got my shipment of two of the three new OWL-One-SP armors.  I can confirm they come in almost a similar packaging box inside of a larger brown box from FEXT.  Have yet to open them yet, but got a combo of 01-02 to mix-n-math and put on the 35th anniversary Hi-Metal. 

Shhhhhh ... just visited their site 8/13/19 12:00 EST and noticed there are preorders for OWL-ONE-SP0[123].  Too bad SP01 doesn't come with with a mini-gun arm or a fastpack cannon.  

Wow... $1K, that's some nice markup by NY; fortunately I just received mine in the mail today.

NY must have just gotten some more in stock, as they just updated my 1x order from 10/15/2017 for the VF-31A Kairos.  Dang, that certainly took it's sweet time.  Lesson learned, don't use paypal for preorder items b/c of their refund policy of 180 days from purchase.

Let me know when they manage to clone the Delta VF-31A Kairos  .... Damn you Bandi & Nippon-Yassan!

Actually, weren't there some KO weapon sets with the reactive missiles and what not?  Are those still only on Taobao or have they show up else where?

they're playing waiting game with you either you ask them to cancel your order for store credit or for them to give up first and give you your valk. XD

Sadly this is true ...  I know I've sent them four emails, throughout 2018, just inquiring if they have more in stock and even asked if a full refund was possible.  Mentioned I'd wait patiently until they got more in stock; guess it's time to be more forceful and let them know others are getting orders fulfilled.  Do they know people communicate on MacrossWorld and various other forums?

Lastly, the thing that seriously pi**es me off the most is the business received our money up front, several months before release date (ended up paying nearly a year in advance of getting the toy). Anyway, just my two cents. Best of luck to everyone still waiting...

 

Let's hope so, I just contacted them with a 2nd email attempting to get a status update, since it has been a year since I originally paid.   All I've gotten is a reply of "we'll contact dispatch to see if we've gotten any kairos in".  This was for a single Kairos ordered on 10/15 ... sigh.  

Should I order from NY in the future, let's just say I hope I won't make the mistake of using Paypal again.

Add me to the list of waiting...

So whoare the "EXPLOSIONS" from sh9000's pictures made by, and where can I find some?

So wait ... when does this go on pre-order? All I ask, is save me one.

Am I one of the few people who just can't get into the "hero" valks in this series? I never really liked the YF-19 or the YF-29 in terms of design. The 31 is too close to this except for the 31A, which is awesome in my opinon. Guess it will be nothing but cannon fodders for me this go around ... guess that leaves more for you guys.

hayate pre-order madness?

Yeah right. Just you wait until one day...

ok time to crawl back to bed. day is complete.

Wowza ... that's a beaut! Good thing I sold my old VF-0S and bought the new one. Now I've got something old and something new ... (old vf-0a with ghost, and upcoming reactive)

The thing is those figures don't have the giant pointy knees and platform boots that the zentradi soldiers have. so it'll still look like zentradi pilots with no boots on. But I'd like to see what position the legs are in so I can kind of mimic the degrees the knees bend

You could probably get the Half Track with Major Altitude. It's at least got boots and a helmet: http://www.transformerland.com/image/reference_images/48886.jpg or Reverb with Sergeant Detour: http://www.transformerland.com/image/reference_images/48896.jpg

For those that never got the GPB-1, Nippon Yasson has them back in stock https://www.nippon-yasan.com/11965-hi-metal-r-vf-1j-armored-valkyrie.html

Hmmmm.... most dishwasher detergents use bleach in them. Vanish looks like it contains hydrogen peroxide as opposed to bleach; somewhere b/w 5-15%. Standard antiseptic hydrogen peroxide is around 3% ... so you may be able to use it and water and get the same affect. I wonder if you could make a paste with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide (and a little vinegar) and if it would work since people use it for teeth whitening.

Hmm, I wonder how well those VF-1's are going to be able to handle the additional weight from the GBP armor. Unlike the Hi-Metals, these VF-1's are made with significantly lower quality plastic.

My guess is they won't unless they've changed the plastic composition. I feel sorry for the suckers that buy these and find out they start breaking in the span of a few months. ... sadly I got suckered on the 1st release of these. 1st wave was horribly cheap and broke easily, 2nd wave was too stiff and became brittle over time.

Meh ... I love my VF-0A v1 cannon fodder with ghost, don't really need another one. However, give me a 0a or 0s with reactive armor ... instant buy!!!!!

I have the robot spirits VF-25 and Q-Rau? Did somebody sneak into my house and give me more macross toys while I was at work?

In all seriousness, I think you've got someone else collection in your mind!

Sorry about that. I responded to your post when I meant to ask

HLJ also got some more stock in.
