If all the valks have full armor in the movie, be sure that bandai will milk us to the max with all the armor variants. After all it’s jusg repaints of the same thing. 

Seems to be pretty random on the shipping now if we still have those who ordered on the 6th or 7th and yet to receive any update.

It was HLJ....  They send me the confirmation email after that. Thought that's it till just now I went to check n only one order. The other is missing n they did not even bother to email me about it.... First time being able to PO at normal price....

 

If I had known would have order another one from NY...

Sorry my bad for misreading. =)

Guys....I order separately 2 vf-31f from HLJ and received the confirmation email but when I check my account only one open order can be seen. Wat happen to my other order? Any idea?

You are very lucky to be able to order 2 VF-31F separately from NY. A lot of us here could not even get 1 from them.

Haven't seen anyone update on receiving preparation or shipping notice from NY on their 31A orders.

On a separate note, when can we expect websites to re-open their POs for the 31S?

Translated from Japanese, the contents of the set. It does come with the connecting parts.

· Lil · Draken 2

· Lil · Draken connection parts for left and right (for fighter / Gower walk)

· Lil · Draken connection parts for left and right (for BATROID)

· Dedicated pedestal × 2

Easiest Macross PO at NY ever.

A lot are waiting for the cheapest deal at NY and going for CDJ if they fail to get 1 at NY. LOL

Received my 31As from NY today. Both didn’t come with the brown casing but are sealed on all 3 sides and boxes are in excellent condition. 

I am grateful for the blessing

I missed out the PO for the 31S completely but going by the trend of DX these days, you should be able to safely secure a piece or 2 at the MSRP within the first 2-3 weeks of release.

Ordered a VF-31j Kai from NY. Is it normal for them to have it "in preparation" for 5 days? I paid for EMS shipping. I am so surprised by this because I normally shop at ami and Hlj. Never had this happened before

Usually it will be shipped within 1-3 days but I have had a similar encounter where I had to wait a week. Best to send them a ticket to check it for you and most of the time it will ship on the day they reply to your ticket. Hope this helps.

Congrats Charles! Finally.  Out of curiosity, what shipping method did you use?

Same boat as you, sir. Though I don’t have a cool looking chick besides me right now. 

I chose EMS as usual.

I think the order that NY processed and shipped now is a little random since 2 weeks back when we first saw someone who paid on 27th Oct actually has his ordered shipped before those who paid on the 6/7th.

I hope to hear more good news from fellow members this week.

And thanks @chyll2, @F360, @Saburo, @Kinzoku VF, @rdrunner and @no3Ljm for the gratz. Now praying for a smooth delivery that it will reach me in good order and good shape this week.

Congrats! More orders being filled. I received mine over the weekend (SAL) and didn’t even realize it was the 31A at first because the value was declared as 6,000 yen. I thought it was the Alto super parts set. It came with the brown TWE shipping box as well. 

Thank you and congrats for receiving a full 31A with the TWE shipping box. I hope to get mine by the end of the week if NY ships it out today. I will be happy whether or not my 31A comes with or without the TWE box, as long as it's still sealed.

Good news for me on a Monday morning for my VF-31A

Not sure if I speak for many, but NY declares lower value on their packages so that I don’t end up paying an additional 40-50$ In Canadian duties and taxes.  HLJ and Amiami, while both having better customer service, end up costing me about 60$ more because they declare full value.

You are absolutely right on that. Only NY and Madarake will under declare the value of your shipment. HLJ, CDJ and amiami will not do so. That is why I still go for NY for certain big ticket items. And of cos if i am lucky to sneak in a DX or MB during their crazy PO window, that's a bonus as well for using them.

The 31A remains a very bad experience though.

Personally HLJ and amiami have the best customer services from my experience. They may not have the best price like NY but whenever there is a problem, they will get back to you fast and resolve it for you. That to me is worth the $10-30 difference. And let's not forget that NY overcharges on shipping so the actual difference is more like $8-15.

Good luck. Hope they do deliver. Last time I've sent a ticket, I got shipping notification the next day (this is after some member saying they sent a ticket and received the preparation in progress email within the day). I actually overtook some of the orders here since I ordered mine on the 28th of October

 

 

 

 

 

I think it's pretty random now. No news for 2 days since I got that reply. And we are not hearing any updates of delivery in the forum.

Perhaps we have to wait for the next wave of shipment to come in before we get some shipping notices. If we are lucky, we will hear something by Friday. =)

Gambatte, I am sure you will get yours too

Thanks bro. Seeing the pictures of those who received theirs recently, seems like it all came without the TWE brown casing.

I hope they will really deliver.

Its finally here, shipped on fri, reached on mon

The seal looked weird to me but the insides were seal like new, no twe box

 

Congrats on finally getting it on hand. Doesn't matter that it doesn't come with the TWE box. Maybe Bandai is really sending them in batches to NY and without the TWE box.

Woah my order for the VF-31A just shipped too, and all it took was 3 months of waiting

Congrats to you. Patience paid off.

I think it all boils down to luck. Many of us have sent dozens of tickets yet get the same response over and over.

Perhaps this time the stocks are really trickling in.

Mine is more of hoping for a miracle. LOL 

Someone just won the 31A real cheap (in today's context). And it's brand new sealed.

Ordered from NY since it's the cheapest after shipping. Doubt they can screw up for this item.
