    Thanks guys. I knew it would go eventually given the demand for it. Just hope everyone still waiting on theirs gets them sooner rather than later. Yes that's it, I'm just waiting on more stock for the yf-19 now. Quick question regarding general release. Does that mean they release more compared to the exclusives? Or are the stock amounts similar in availability? This is technically my third pre order "event" so still not sure on certain things.

    It looks like it’s going the way the 31a is going, HLJ is already sending out emails they may not be able to meet demand.  It smells like I’m going to have to trade one MISB 31a for a YF-19 at this point.

    Sheesh this preorder is certainly cutting it thin! Sorry to hear abt those getting notifications from hlj. 

    Am wary abt all of my preorders now regardless of any retailer. 

    How can you order when you can't even trust the system.

    I wonder if this is why MyKombini hasn’t put it up for sale yet.

    Is it a concensus that the armor mode is that bad?  The Knerdout guy seem to really like it minus some of the qc issues, loose bits and what not, but they didn’t seem to have the same problems that Kuma did with the tabbing.  I’m just wondering since I have one coming from NY but also want to get a second one from the secondary market but won’t if it’s really that bad.

    I'm sitting here with it unboxed just waiting to take it out of the clamshell and the presentation is fantastic.  I've seen some comparison pics but it's still bigger than I thought in hand. I think post review I'll definitely be doing the paint removal from behind his face plate. Hoping Rei ships pretty soon into May.

    Just got the release date change email from NY, pushed back to May 31.

    Hmmmmm, I was wondering this, did any pf you whom got their’s shipped by NY ever cancelled an order before for whatevr reason? I was looking at my order history and noticed I did cancel 2 orders from them but I did so on the same day that I ordered as some months I could not afford a toy thus I cancelled. 

    It got me thinking if they only shipped to customers that had never cancelled an order before 1st thus skipping some whom ordered on the 6th. Just a theory

    I cancelled my first ever order with NY and they did ship mine out.

    Congrats!  I ordered 1 on 10/7 but because I chose Eco SAL registered shipping, I don't think mine will be high priority. But good to know that there is still hope, thanks!

    I don’t think shipping method matters.  I also chose Eco SAL registered and mine was shipped on April 4, ordered on October 6.

    Looks like most or all people who received their VF-31A from NY, no matter when they ordered, chose the faster shipping method.

    I ordered and paid on Oct 6th and chose Eco - SAL registered and it was shipped out on the 4th.  I don’t think there’s any logic behind what they’re doing.

    I think both parties are to blame for he shortage. Bandai because they didn't set a sensible cut-off date for orders and NY keeping their preorders open too long. 

    This has me wondering about the preorder for the VF-31C super parts.  Release date is end of May and preorders are still open.  I don’t remember the super parts preorders in the past, were they all open so late?

    :lol: Now I'm really curious as to how they prioritize orders. I've resolved myself to getting shafted this time around though since my orders have always been fulfilled a little later than the others here.

    I just got the payment request as well but I didn't expect the sight of it to anger me even more. I think we all have a toxic love-hate relationship with NY at this point.

    I’d dispute this with PayPal if i weren’t afraid they cancel my other preorders.  Amongst other things, I have the two Sentinel Mospeada bikes on order and they’re sold out every where else and I want those really badly.

    NY buyer here as well. I placed 2 orders. One the 6th of October and another on the 23rd. None have shipped and I was originally Rank 3 till NY suddenly decided to reset my rank to 1 for canceling my first Kairos order. They refused to reverse their decision even when I told them I canceled it to make an even bigger order but that's their legendary service for you. The worst part is, I ordered multiples for my friends and now we're all stuck in limbo. I refuse to receive just a refund though. They penalized me for canceling so they should expect the same.

    Based on my personal experience, they used to prioritize based on the order date/time but they changed it to fulfilling orders with a single unit first.

    I ordered a single unit on Oct 6th and still not prep email yet.  Funny enough, I’m sure we all just got the payment request for the hmr Vf-1a

    I ordered early and paid with card, still no joy on mine.

    I wonder if NY is shipping based on your rank.  I'm only Rank 1 and ordered mine Oct 6 and still no shipping notice.

    I used to be a collector back in the Yamato V1 days. Last valk I purchased was the Yamato 1/48 Stealth with the Armor Packs, which cost me around 150USD. I dropped off the scene to come back and see that a 1/60 Arcadia can go for almost 300USD. I shudder to think how much a 1/48 would cost now. The insane price for an Arcadia is also why I'm all in for this line and also some of the DX Chogokin stuff Bandai has like the VF-19 Advance.
