Good luck everyone! I hope we all get at least one of the VF-1S!

My F5 key is ready for another round. Let's see if the Mecha Gods will allow me to get a VF-1S and a GX-88 Vehicle Voltron tonight.

Get ready my people, the VF-1S and GX-88 night is upon us!

I'm still searching for this one, PayPal ready today!

Woohoo, Loopaza shipped my missiles. Now to wait for Sunday night madness. With the VF-1S & GX-88 Vehicle Voltron going up at the same time, who's taking bets on how long it takes for the servers to crash?

Hopefully Loopaza ships out my VF-1 Missiles soon.

GX-88 and VF-1S, I'm screwed.

This going to be a cluster like usual. Hopefully we get news of pre-orders soon. I'm praying they don't do both pre-orders on the same day.

Must have these 2!! I was hoping to finish up the Vermillion Team first, but this will be just as nice!

I'm still on the hunt for DX YF-19, please let me know if anyone is selling one.

Not me @borgified, but contemplating about getting a second one.

Just got lucky through Anime Export and got one, good night everyone.

Dammit, HLJ and their stupid system.

I was searching HLJ constantly and the moment I saw that reissue listing come up is was already Order Stop...lol wtf

Same here, as soon as I clicked it, it was already gone.

I'll second what @Kuma Style said. This is just plain crappy network and servers that doesn't even allow us to get through the main site. I had it in cart and couldn't even check out.

Gotta love AmiAmi, I've never got an order through them successfully.

Alright, fingers crossed, it won't be a cluster like it was for DX VF-1A. Thanks @F360 for keeping us informed.

Thank you!

I find PO madness to be a lot of fun. I enjoy trying to find toy listings on various sites, see which ones are available and which ones are sold out, and updating my list.

Maybe it is because I have only been collecting Macross toys for about 1 year, but PO madness is quite exciting to me.

Admittedly, PO madness can be a bit stressful. But, in the end, I think of Macross toy collecting as a hobby, a luxury, Missing out on an initial pre-order, but still being able to buy it at a bit of a markup, can be a bit disappointing, but as my fiance would say, that's a first-world problem.

So, while I want to get a 1/60 VF-11C, yet don't want to spend $500 for it, I am not going to let my annoyance at that price inflation on eBay ruin my day.   Owning the toy might cheer me up a bit, but my lacking the toy will not sour my outlook.

 

What DID annoy me was getting stopped by campus police this morning. So, this weekend is CPW (Campus Preview Weekend), where high school seniors accepted to MIT get to visit campus for the weekend, visit lectures and sleep at the dorms, to help them decide whether to enroll here or at some other university. So anyways, I went to lab this morning (and am still here) to work on my missile swarm path finding simulation code.  A campus police officer thought I was one of those kids visiting campus trespassing in a restricted access lab. *sigh*    Couldn't the officer at least thought I was an adult in a restricted area?  *argh*

My fiance is going to LOVE hearing about this. *sigh*

I'm so used to the PO madness, it doesn't stress me out anymore. Sorry to hear you had that kind of day @Shizuka the Cat.

Does anyone know if playasia already did their pre-orders already?  And if the pending pre-order message is just a mess up?   https://www.play-asia.com/dx-chogokin-macross-delta-vf-1a-valkyrie-maximilian-jenius-custo/13/70cndh

They haven't done their pre-orders yet.
