Frankly saying, NY should impose a new ruling that a certain percentage of deposit is required every time a preorder is placed as this will discourage scalpers from hoarding all the goods. Then again, NY is maybe one of the perpetrators artificially jacking up the price and limiting the quantities to create an artificial impression of demand.

Well it is obvious that NY is a scalper itself and alot of us are willing to pay the marked up prices. One way to deal with this is to abuse their system and order 50 pieces or so, when it comes to payment time, don't pay and see the prices crash.

Alternatively, we can collaborate and mass order...

Thanks for the offer, at this point i guessits more of the frustration of having one in the cart and then due to their crappy servers was not allowed to get it. I think i will wait to see if there is amass cancel towards its release and hopefully get one at a decent price then. Thank you

Ok np. By fluke, I got one piece at anime export for 20,000 yen - I was looking for other macross stuff, click on it and got it. There's another sg fan who's interested, guess I will pass him my account and he can take over the order.

I don't blame most of the online sites for their servers - it's difficult for them to anticipate demand and ensure smooth online transaction when there are many of us and scalpers pinging their servers. I do blame some sites which raise their prices like an auction - this is unfair and they are extracting too much 'middleman' fee from a product that is not even released (!?).

Looks like I wun be getting one after all, I am from sg too, and hate the scaplers, that said, i hope no one buys their mark ups so that they get burned, that way ppl will stop scalping these and real collectors can get them.

If you or anyone in sg who needs a piece, pm me. I managed to get one at anime export but they require payment upfront ...

Oh forgot to add, this is at whatever cost price ... I hate scalpers too ...
