Some clarification? The Bandai Spirits tweet

run through Twitter, Google, and DeepL all say that there will simply be "detailed information" on 10/25, not that it's necessarily the preorder date. The image says the same, and further indicates a March 2022 release date.

Is this simply how they usually word these things, and indeed 10/25 is the preorder date? Or should I take the translations at their word and 10/25 is when more information - including a preorder date - will be released?

Your Google translation is basically correct.  We should get details on the 25th.

The post below you is right, we usually see the kanji 予約解禁 (yoyaku kaikin - reservations open) for the preorder date. 発売予定 is the release date (March 2022)

Nice.  Where'd you score it?  eBay? YJA Auctions?  I doubt they've hit Mandarake yet.

If you guys are talking about the movie pamphlet, I’m flipping through mine now and there isn’t a whole lot about the Kairos Plus or SV-303, just photos and a short description. If you’re looking for anything more detailed, the pamphlet might not be your best bet.

I could take photos and upload the relevant sections if your interested? I’m not sure what this forum’s policy is on that. Let me know!

What's that weird exo-sekeleton thing? 😮

At the top of the page? That’s not an exo-skeleton.😅 

Just got out of the evening show.  First impression-wise, I didn’t go in expecting too much after the first Delta movie… but I liked it!😄 Lots of stuff packed in, lots of action, a few surprises and payoffs. It came together reasonably well.  Applause and tears in the theater after the credits, so it seems to have gone over well with the Japanese fans.

Did Amazon JP ever open for preorders?

Yup.  For about 1 minute...😭

amazon.jp was up and gone in less than 1 minutes. I kept trying to add to cart but it becomes empty after adding, meaning its sold out.. . it sold out very fast and then the 3rd party sellers jumped in . 

Exactly this...

I set an auto refresh every 3 seconds since order start....never seen one from amazon itself.

The original listing was at retail price.  Pre-order button took me to an empty cart, lol.

WTF?

Wow... how do they plan to ship that? lol

Really... interesting, does that mean they're managing their stock separately for the different sites?

Seems that way.  I asked their customer service on the English site and they said that some products are now restricted.  You can see it written just below the max per household section.

So 4pm here, 5pm for you guys i guess.

i really wonder what was amiami's plan with pushing back the time, lol.

Regional restrictions I'd bet.  Amiami was up 4:00 and down instantly by 4:01 here in Japan.  Now listed as sold out.  The English site has clear "will not ship to Japan" language on the product page.

Just checked the Tamashii Nations site and the armor set is sold out. That was fast. Maybe Bandai will do a second run of the set, but this doesn't bode well for the amount of competition we're probably going to face for the combo set during PO Madness. I'm hoping for Roy-like availability after release, but who knows.

Yeah, I didn't expect it to be as popular as the super/strike sets.  While it didn't sell out immediately, this was the first time I got kicked out repeatedly trying to complete the P-bandai checkout process during the initial rush at around 16:00. Finally was able to secure one 15 minutes later when the site calmed down a bit.  It stayed up for a good while after that though.

My VF-0D just arrived!

Anasazi and F360:  I can confirm that shipping was free domestically in Japan.

Mine looks the same.  My credit card shows a charge just for the VF-0D so far.  Nothing for shipping.  

I looked back in my order history with them from back in 2017 (the premium finish SDF-1 Macross), but it also only shows the payment for the item.  I can't remember if there was free shipping or not.  Maybe someone with a more recent order might have some insight.

I'm in Japan, so I'm not sure exactly if it'll be the same (but Tenso is a Japanese address right?)

Yeah, things went fast.  I was able to get a VF-0D Premium Finish, which was my priority.  Was hoping to go back to get a standard VF-0S too if there were any left after I secured the 0D, but they were already gone.  Probably should have secured the VF-0S first since the 0D was available for a while afterwards...

Never posted before, but I've been following these forums for awhile.  Just wanted to add my thanks for all these great podcasts!

I just got back from the Walkure 2nd Live in Yokohama on Saturday and had a great time! The recent concert podcast helped a lot to prepare me for what to expect going in. It also made me keep my eyes open enough to spot a special guest performer just wandering the concert goods area in the mid afternoon! It did spoil the surprise a little!
