I ordered and paid for mine on 10/27, about three weeks after most people based on the comments I have seen. For selfish reasons I hope that NY fulfills their orders in some random arbitrary manner and not based on order date.  

I'll keep hoping that NY will get their stock. If not I'm prepared to pay the aftermarket price for one. This is my favorite VF-31 design and there is no way I won't have one in my collection.

Agree with you about the VF-31A design - I am not a fan of the Delta series (that's an understatement) and the color schemes/delta wing designs of the main characters' VFs.  In my opinion this is the best design in the series by far, and I am going to be so bummed if NY cannot deliver on my preorder. What's the after-market price of a VF-31A right now anyway?  (deep breath)

I have never ordered duplicate macross toys but I was so impressed with the Elint seeker, I decided to get two VT-1's from two separate sources.  I think I'm beginning to see the HMR line developing in to something similar to the old Yamato line in terms of variety and completeness.  I still kick myself hard for not getting Yamato V2s when they first came out and now have to pay through my nose to even afford an Arcadia reissue.

All I'm going to add is that I do agree that NY isn't really known for its customer service. This was a great opportunity to improve on those perceptions and provide better communication with regard to the delay and issues related to Bandai's stock. Anyway, it is what it is. I'm not canceling my order. 

For those curious, I went back in the thread and compiled two lists against NY 31A orders. Click on the spoiler tags to view.

This first list shows all members to date who have noted that they have received a "shipping" update from NY:

Thanks for compiling the list, and sorry to see many of us stuck in the same situation as well.  Fingers crossed that we will all get our orders soon.

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

For those of us who have actually received their orders from NY, I wonder if they had ordered earlier than October (I forgot when the PO was first opened) or if NY really just fulfilled orders at random? 

It's a real shame because I did not like the delta series (and the mecha design of the delta squadron VF's) but liked the VF-31A design a lot.  So if this doesn't work out I don't think I will bother getting another DX toy as "replacement". 

Another frustrated NY customer here waiting for my VF-31A that I ordered and paid for on Oct 7 last year.  I sent out a ticket over the weekend asking for status update and got the same copy & paste reply above.  I also paid with paypal but am patiently hoping that they will deliver my order eventually.

Do we know how many of us are still waiting for NY to deliver, and how many of us have received shipment or notice of shipment?  I wonder if they're holding out on the paypal customers while shipping out quicker to others who chose to pay with credit cards??

My wish list:

- 1/48 replacement heads

- 1/48 and 1/60 gun straps

That would be awesome if there's a way to get these as well! Good luck with your project.

Hi, wanted to get a new or used 1/60 v2 VF-1D with OP. Anyone has one for sale at a reasonable price please?

WTB gun straps (with rings) for the 1/60 Yamato V2 and a replacement strap for the 1/48 (no rings needed). Is anybody selling please? Thanks.

Hi DarrinG, i'd like to get a set of the 1/60 straps. Do you also have replacement gun straps for the 1/48? Thanks!
