Yep, you'll need to wait for the Limited edition Hikaru TV 1S release! 

or steal him from your 1J

It should come with a Hikaru figure

have they always done this live?

After my first and what I believe will be my last PO craze, I can say while I'm not a rich man it did not seem worth it. Buggy sites, and potentially shady sellers were too much stress.  Unless this figure  turns out to be something crazy rare a hundred more when it's released and piece of mind  doesn't seem like a bad trade off. 

Yeah as someone who has never scored one for MSRP.  Paying a bit of premium from a seller that marked them up and not having to worry about it makes sense to me.

I think the word "minutes" is generous with most cases.

So this thread is a bit massive at this point...  Anyone that has kept up with it know if there are any plans for another missile & fastpack run?  Or should I just bite the bullet?

I paid the marked up price at NinNin.  It was cheaper than the Hikaru vf-1s mark up i bought at NY so I see it as a win at the moment.  Off to bed, GL.

frakk me the wheel was spinning in the cart at hlj D:

Is there a secret for using a US address with Amazon JP?

 

You cant buy from third party sellers on amazon jp with a us adress.

I'm getting tired of this pre-order madness.

Getting?  From day 1 this has been BS.  

I was getting one from amazon and now im stuck at a screen with a button saying "move forward"  I think i was robbed

Good god it's about damn time.  Arcadia will be rich after this one.

Anyone ever get NY to change their address for a paid item?

I got 4 orders with them but I didn’t change my address from moving. They’re really not helping me out here I just sent them an ultimatum by getting PayPal involved if they won’t change the address.

Does it sound like I’m sol here? 

I did it the other week for the missile parts.  Forget what the exact steps were that I took, but it did not work the first couple of times, then I got it.   Delete the old address from your account and play around with it.

Looks like NY has sold out the super/strike packs.

Looks like I just got my order in.  Yikes.

I just ordered 2 strike part sets.  Maybe i'll order two more in a few weeks.  Worse comes to worse I just sell them to one of you guys later on down the road.

this will give you a good idea of what a proxy store plan to charge for this item. 

That's a bit more than I thought it would be.

That's a small piece of the pie as their is more obstacles to face.. Big West also has to approve to send Macross related items outside Japan.   

Edit: That's is what I've been reading and understand.

I think the problem is that HG is in charge of all Macross outside of Japan.  And they do crap with it.  So even if someone like Bandai wanted to sell outside Japan, they would also have to go through HG even after aquiring a license by Big West.  

It's a mess...

Just as few more years and hopefully their reign of terror will end.

Does NY take PayPal credit 

You can pay with Paypal, so yes.  That's what I did so I have 6 months to pay it off over time instead of all at once on a credit or debit card.

I just bought one form NY.  It's the same price I paid for the VF-1J Hikaru so I can't complain too much and I can only see it going up from there if anyone is able to get more later.

At least it's secured.  

I now remember why I did not collect frontier valks.  I knew the VF-1J was too good to be true.  God damn it Bandai...

Take my frakking money Bandai!

It's been a while since I have done this and I don't remember striking out so bad.  I guess I will be paying the premium price when they start popping up.  

frakking Bandai....

Oh god, do I really need this?  

looks amazing...
