I appreciate the thought valkyrie2008, but I went to bed after "Fiona" from NY told me they weren't listing anymore. It's kind of tough being east coast, as most of the preorders happen between 10PM-3AM, and always on a work night. But, sounds like the email notification scheme that Pedro2k6 uses is the way to go.
-
Good advise. I'll give it a try. I figured with how fast these things sell out, I'd get the notification long after the fact.
-
DAMN IT! Missed it again, and I had just contacted NY on chat 15 minutes earlier, and they said they wouldn't be listing any more for preorder at this time, so I went to bed. That's it - NY can go eat a bag of dicks!!! If I buy, it'll be at release, and not from them.
-
What are the odds of another pre-order release at NY tonight? Trying to decide whether or not to stay up half the night (east coast) in hopes of finally snagging one...

NY is back up - No chronos yet...

You would still find me fiddling with your valks in the background. After a minute or two of "studying the form".
Wait, the "form" was a chic, right? Just trying to figure out if I'd be trying to draw the valk or the form if I were there...

I have a pretty big collection, but it's in my basement. I have a couple buddies who appreciate it. I tell strangers I have an Ebay store, and the toys are my inventory. I tell my father-in-law to mind his f-ing business.

Did the Virgin Road ever come with the option parts ala 30th anni?

`Thats awesome news RT, hopefully you'll be getting your money back shortly!!
Refund arrived today! The long arm of the law helped me out on this one. So, that's $250 back in my pocket to turn around and put right into the Macross economy - through a reputable seller this time.

what part of VT are you in? Im in Burlington.
I'm just west of Middlebury. Good to know there's at least two of us in the Green Mtns.

I'm holding USPS as my last straw. I filed a complaint through iC3, and today got a call from a State Police detective. He then called the seller, Dave, and told him he was following up on a fraud claim. The seller claimed he shipped the item, but the detective said that when he started pressing him about the bogus tracking number, the guy started stumbling over his words. The detective left it that if he didn't follow through, he'd be facing criminal charges. Hell yeah!! He said if Dave doesn't contact me in the next couple days to make it right, let him know, and he'll contact the guy's local PD to take it from there. I guess there is some benefits to living in a state as boring as Vermont - the police have time on their hands to deal with petty crimes like this in a timely manner. Makes me feel like my taxes are actually doing something.
-
Thanks for the tips. I did open a case with ic3. I'll try USPS next, but with "free shipping" I'm sure insurance wasn't provided.
I also called regarding the 45 days, and they said that they have no legal power to do anything, that they'll just send him another email. So I've got that going for me
. If he hasn't moved, then his address information puts him just a few miles from my in-laws, and where I lived for a couple years after college. Next time I'm down there, I think a couple of my friends and I may pay him a visit. After all, I've got 250 reasons to stop by.

banks won't help when it comes to paypal or any other money service since it wasn't paypal or whoever that screwed you.
Exactly. I'm sticking to my usual sources for any future preorders from now on..... Looking at this guy's feedback fall, I'm not the only person he screwed on Macross toys. For those of you in the 45 day window, I suggest filing a claim before the window closes on you. You can always close it if he responds, but make sure that when you check the tracking number, it actually shows the package has been accepted by the PO.
-
Got taken for a ride by Ebay seller Davesellingthings. He puts up preorders, then goes through the trouble of telling you the shipment is in and provides you a legit tracking number, but never actually delivers the box to the post office. He does just enough to string you along until you are outside the 45 day window to launch a case, so Ebay/Paypal will do nothing to help you out. This guy is a serious asswipe.

Inxstation was a bust. Just got a refund from them.
Same here
Hopefully Toy-wave comes through or I'm out altogether
-
So, has the amiami preorder already happened? I was wishfully thinking it was just a placeholder there as well.
-
PM'd about skystriker!

and it's gone....

Some one has one on Ebay for $220 shipped now:
Already have 2 on preorder or I'd get it-
-
I'll handle the shipping like last time - get it boxed up and weighed with your zip code, and that's what you pay. I add nothing to it, but it does need to be sent to me as a personal payment so Paypal doesn't bend me over and have their way with me.
-
I just threw down an order @ toy-wave too. It saves me from surfing all the other shops hoping by some miracle I'm going to hit that magic 5 second window to get my order in. Plus Ken has never let me down, so I feel better about it than messing around taking a chance with some Ebay shops I've never bought from before. Especially when the lead time with those it outside the Paypal claim window....
-
I too have had my Paypal account linked to my bank account since around 2001. I also run a side business for a Suzuki dealership selling on Ebay with a verified Paypal account through the link to their bank account, and have never had a snag with either.
The link is also convenient when you want to withdraw some $$ from Paypal, as they will deposit it directly to your bank with no fees. If I leave it in Paypal, I'm too tempted to spend it...

I'll take one of these as well!
