Wow that is a great price. You even get sales tax deducted from that as well (23,364 JPY). If only...

Man, I never figured out how to use Amazon JP from the states. It always seemed like my address wasn't valid. I'm also just inept.

I've been on a hiatus from this thread. Has anyone not received their TV super parts from Nin Nin yet? Mine is apparently still in progress.

I've sent in a ticket with no reply for about two weeks now. Shame.

Got my shipping notice from NNG last night, via DHL.  It's already in the States as of this morning.  

Hope you get your shipping notice soon...

Thanks for the update! It still says preparation in progress so hopefully I'll be in the next wave.

Anyone hear from Nin Nin for the TV Super Parts? Or do they usually have delays on releases.

sounds like nng are not prioritsing the people who paid the least. I seen people getting theirs when they paid higher price from nng.

I had a bad expereince with nng a dispute when they tried to sell my hikaru for roy in preorder and took  full money and had to fight it with paypal for 2 months

yeah, this is truly un-ethical biz practices, but whatevs...

NNG sent out my more expensive Roy first on release day, but they did fulfill my $170 Roy the week after.

I recall a user posting their NNG Roy with another retailers price sticker. I don't know what system they're using to choose whose order is prioritized, but I'm waiting to see how they handle the TV super parts now.

I just received a shipping notification for my first batch Roy from NinNin. Looks like the delay is over and they're shipping it through DHL now instead of FedEx.

sorry guys, I've missed a lot of this conversation.  looks like nin nin game still hasnt updated my order.  does anyone know if something happened to them.  i am extremely worried as they were super shady on preorder night.

Nin Nin has already delivered one of my Roys (a late order batch) while my first order batch Roy is still under preparation (after paying an extra shipping fee).

If @Anasazi37 is correct, then looks like they'll most likely be shipped out next week.

I'm also surprised to hear so many negative things about Nippon Yassan, which I haven't ordered Roy from. I've ordered various items from them in the past and they've always come through. Maybe COVID changed how they operate?

From what I've gathered of other posters and reviewers, I think Nin-Nin's service model is "higher cost/payment, better service" rather than "first come, first served."  I'm not shocked by your mixed service results with them.  For me, I was pleasantly surprised when Nin-Nin sent me a shipping notice yesterday (11/30) with shipping upgraded to DHL, and I'm receiving my item tomorrow (to east coast US).... then again, I paid over $300 for mine from them.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if this was their last-minute attempt to micro-scalp some people. Why would they ship out my later order first ( with no request for extra shipping ) while my first order took a few days longer to prep and is now required an additional shipping fee?

At least FedEx delivered my Roy a day early so I'm happy about that! NinNin pulling through but also making decisions I don't fully agree with...

NinNin just sent me an email: "Dear Customer We are contacting you regarding your order. Unfortunately due to the size of your package, we have to ask additional shipping fee."

This is in regards to my first wave Roy order that was priced at $170. They are now asking for an additional $18 on top of the shipping I already paid.

My Roy ordered at a later time at $275 (also from NinNin) was shipped last week with the same shipping method and is arriving on Wednesday.  

I'm left a little confused.

I seriously wish bandai would put in a 2 day pre-order window at least, for Macross DX chogokins.

Put in limit 1 or 2 per order and pay upfront to further deter scalpers if needed. 

*grumble grumble*

As someone else mentioned earlier, I really wish they adopted the Good Smile method.

Having a preorder window takes off so much stress and really helps deter scalpers.

well thats that  paypla just got back to me saying they wont give me my money back as they dont see anything wrong

 

and thats it folks nin-nin scamed me of £377 for a used hikaru that if i ever get it will need to sell to get my money back

 

this is best day of my  life !! 2020 the year that keeps on giving

I'm sure you've contacted NIN NIN already but have you confirmed that mistake is permanent? I haven't seen a used Hikaru on their site but they do have a new one listed for that price. If they're not willing to cancel your order I would at least attempt to make an exchange since the Roy is technically cheaper and still in "stock" on their site. Sucks you have to go through all this trouble :/

We're talking about Bandai here. They will go after their asses unlike Takara/Hasbro.

Very true but I've seen 3rd party metal build Gundams around while I don't think I've ever seen any DX-like Macross KOs

Preorder for FT releases is not unlike Macross figures now - the moment they're out for PO, they are sold out within minutes or hours.

Man, I wish those time windows existed for the DX line. Seeing shops sell out within one refresh is insane. 

On the topic of 3rd Ps, why aren't they as prevalent for the Macross line?

Yeah, I'd be interested in seeing a NIN NIN thread on release day. Really worrying how they kept reopening pre-orders with escalating prices and hearing about other shady practices. 

Hopefully all us NIN NIN folk will experience smooth transactions but I'm expecting a big R.I.Pineapples... 

Another great and easy transaction with @RIBFIR! Easy choice to do business with in the future

Very appreciative to @RIBFIR and @Alphahorizon for leading to a very smooth transaction! Thank you both and definitely happy to deal with again!
