    Particularly if it's matte finish like the YF-29 re-release. Vf-25S matte finish please! And of course Vf-31A. 

    Yep. Looking forward to matte. But most of all looking forward to there hopefully being plenty of preorders for all.

    You could frequently check if Mandarake lists any, though they don't have any listed in stock right now.

    Barring that, you're probably better off at this point waiting for a re-release or just get the Zeta when it comes out, unless you have some online retailers based in Australia that were offering them. In which case you use a web monitor to check if any have become available for pre-order due to customer cancellations.

    I ordered mine long after all the windows had closed and by chance, was around when one popped up on BBTS and my web monitor alerted me.

     

    It seemed to me like that was a combination of a side effect of of them destroying most of civilization which allowed nature to reclaim a lot of areas and possibly a bit of terraforming to help make things more suitable for themselves, but don't quote me on that.

    You set it to monitor a specific page. Like a search results page. You can monitor the whole page or a specific element or elements of a page. The more narrow you can restrict it to, the fewer false positives you'll possibly get. For example if you monitor the entire page, if there are ads on the page and they cycle, you will end up getting an alert everytime the ad changes.

    I usually pick the element of the page that contains just the search results.

    If you have a page for a specific item, but it's not ready for preorder or is out of stock, the I usually just have the part that says preorder or out of stock selected so when is ready to be added to cart, that should change.

    I haven't used Yahoo auctions before, but same principle. If no one is selling a taka 1/55 VE-1, then your search results show no listings. So you pick the search result area and if a listing shows up, it will alert you that there was a difference detected on the page.

    You can set it to alert you in various ways, like a windows pop up notification, play a ding, or email you.

    Thanks.

     

    i had checked Manda and Jungle just before posting here, but no luck. I’ll definitely give a web monitor a go.

  3. Is the Legioss still available anywhere for a reasonable price? NY cancelled my preorder while I was enquiring about upgrades shipping and then refused to honor the original price. Then I got busy with some other goings on and now it seems like it’s either sold out or stupidly priced.

    I did yes, But I thought it was starting to get excessive and far too exoensive. I also had a few things I needed to sort out in my life and selling off my collection helped fund certain things and I wanted to try other things that I was into way back in my early years for example RC.

    Model cars had been a thing of mine since forever and I honestly thought continuing with that would be cheaper and satisfy me but I guess I was wrong. Yes I acknowledge that I made a mistake selling off absolutely everything instead of keeping some stuff but now that lesson has been learnt. Even just today transforming the DX 1:48's was so much fun and its actually exciting to have a few Valkyries again considering its been a life long (since 1982) passion and I know I shouldn't have let go of it.

    :)

    It's all cool. I've actually started getting into the RC hobby myself lately, but only RC tanks in particular. The RC culture is very different from my usual toy collecting since in the RC hobby (at least from what I've seen), it's almost expected that people customize their stuff. MISB or stock models usually hold the lowest value. I could be wrong but that's what I've experienced so far in the last 3 months.

    RC cars is my other expensive hobby besides transforming robots. Damn things are always breaking. Plus it’s something fun my son and I can do together.

    While I'm very much looking forward to SoC Vehicle Voltron/Dairugger, what I'd really love is an SoC Legendary Defender Voltron. Does anyone know if LD was well-received in Japan? I'm pretty sure it was on Japanese Netflix.

    I really hope SoC LD happens

    Has anyone who ordered from NY get theirs yet? Mine hasn't even shipped. I wonder if they're trying to take car of it in house before shipping.

    Mine was shipped the other day by slow boat. The waiting begins!
