Same here. I ordered the SSP in June (first round release), HMR VF-4G Focker, and the 0D PF. All in limbo with them.
-
From past experience, I expect to see them open up again a couple hours later at 27-29k yen.
-
Congrats - first blood! If that was a preview of how things are going to go, I'm even less optimistic now.
-
it's right above. It's gone. Wait for the next round with a 27k yen price if you like...

I think we have different preferences for a number of retailers based on prior experience, but for something as high in demand as a DX release, I would suggest that you register/login to as many reliable online merchants as you can, well before 3am, and keep an eye out for any alerts in this post.

2 more hours... yawn
-
Thanks for the link. I'm one of those people who have never managed to even see a "pre-order" button on Hobby Search, and so didn't even include it in my list of windows that I have already opened and logged in, ready for the PO release...

Funny you should mention Jetfire, because I got hooked to Macross when it started airing in 1982 (at least 2 years before Transformers), so to me the original toy is the Takatoku Valkyrie. It wasn't until a few years later when I saw jetfire being packaged as an autobot transformer, complete with a blunted nosecone, and so found it quite hard to understand the fandom for this autobot toy design. I guess it really depends on which one you come across first.

I was on the sidelines for the DYRL 1S preorder, and saw from a distance what an absolute s-show it was, especially with the virtual ticket system or crashes with some of the retailers. For the DX line I am going to stick with a strict "TV only" policy, and I am also not a fan of the M&M designs, so I think I really only need the Vermillion squadron, Focker's 1S, and the 1D, that's it... oh and the eventual TV super packs and the GBP.
-
Any Bandai DX preorders are guaranteed bloodbaths since the DX Valkyries were launched last year...

Dear Sir, your good deeds were not forgotten, thanks to your amazon JP link way back in April 2019, I managed to score two Max 1A's at MSRP plus 1,200 yen Amazon DHL shipping. I still owe you for that one
-
man i'm feeling so rusty at my PO game... the last truly successful PO I had was way back in July 2018 for the DX 1J. I got lucky with the Max 1A only because Amazon JP posted it late (and mostly, Valkyrie23 who very generously shared the link here promptly), so I caught the 15 minute window when it was available. I think it's going to be much, much harder this time round...
-
Sorry, couldn't resist:
-
you staying around for this one too? great!
-
i think it should start on time for most retailers. But no guarantees on when some others will start their PO. Amazon JP may also have a delay in releasing the PO (or not at all)...
-
Thanks Shizuka, we will be thinking of you during the PO madness party! lol
-
usually it's 4pm Japan time, or 3am Eastern.
-
Lucky you. I followed up on my ticket again but no response from them as usual.
-
That collection of valks looks more complete than the Macross section in Mandarake Nakano...
-
Thanks. I’m going to have to send another ticket and see what happens.
-
Nice. The way things are going, you might even get yours before some of us get an answer on our UPS shipping upgrade request!
-
So that makes at least 3 of us who's in the same situation I think. "Prep in progress", but no response on shipping upgrade request.
