Yeah, people weren't sure. There were only a couple store pages up (though both claimed 6pm), and the others wouldn't go up until the actual preorder time, and previous preorders started at 4pm, so...
-
so yeah it's 6pm jst not 4pm
-
It is either 12 minutes (if 4pm JST) or 2 hours 12 minutes (if 6pm JST) My mind was playing tricks on me, and thus playing tricks on everyone else.
-
Wait, frakk. It's not yet even 4pm JST. I thought 1am my time was 4pm there when it's really 2am here is 4pm there. I was a whole time zone behind. That could have been very bad. o h g o d this is madness
-
^ Correct. Staying up is messing with my internal clock. ...I'm still checking every hour on the hour, though, just in case.
-
Hour and 20 mins.
-
Wait, the preorder is TOMORROW!?!? Well then, what the hell am I doing staying up now!? See you all later!
-
In case the release time is 4pm like previous DXes, here's what I have pinned: Amiami: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-038985 Hobby Search: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10534411 Kurama Shop*: http://www.bandaionline.com/dx-chogokin-yf-19-full-set-pack-action-figure/ *Seems to have dubious reputation. I remember there was a thread about this store not too long ago. EDIT: Wow, seems it really IS 6pm JST. Welp, see you all in two hours.
-
That site is... Kurama Shop? Making sure.

Metal Build Aile Strike Gundam. Metal Build is another premium toy line, similar to the DX Chogokin series.
-
^ And YET my interest is once again piqued.
-
Okay, I'm gonna dip out of this for the next hour or two. Nothing anyone can do but wait at this point. I'll try to post any links available when I get back, just on the off chance that anyone has missed them before then.

Thirded. After the VF-31A disappointment, I'm itching for fortune to finally favor me.

Seems the DX YF-19 release time is 6pm JST as well. So... best of luck, folks. Phew. I'm glad I'm only keeping track of the YF tonight... EDIT: Source = https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10534411 "DX Chogokin YF-19 Full Set Pack (Completed) preorders will start after PM6:00 of 27th April, Japan time[GMT+9]" -
Oh wait, you're right... Hm... I hope this does't mean I have to stay up even later. I feel terrible for all you EST people... EDIT: That would be in line with the MB Aile Strike's release time, too. Seems Bandai is changing things up...
-
Yes, because it doesn't officially go on sale until then.

They won't.

Ah, I see; thanks for the clarification, you two.
-
Seconded.

You're welcome to list at any price you want. I could've sworn I've seen a forum rule (or maybe just unofficial code of conduct) that people can't/shouldn't criticize you for it openly, and take any price disputes to PM. Can't seem to find it, though. Seems like a good way to go about things, and for what it's worth, the price is totally fair. Like CharlesXavier said, willing seller willing buyer.

Do NY et al have more... shall we say... "up to date" search functions than HLJ? No having to do an advanced search, just look the item up through the regular search function?
-
Those are official product pics. Though yes, even so that's a great build. ...makes me wonder what happens to those kits used for promo pictures. Hasegawa should have Tenjin or Kawamori sign the base and sell them for a premium. I'd be first in line for some of them, no doubt about it.
-
Shouldn't there already be some up? I think for the MB Arbalest and re-release Laevatein, CDJ, Amiami, NY, and Hobby Search all had pages up several hours to a day in advance...
-
I'm not too bothered by that, considering the design of the YF-19 is inherently all sorts of ridiculous. The things they keep (relatively) consistent from design to artwork to cel is what's important, at least to me. The two deviations that the DX makes - the chest and the feet - bother me the most because they disrupt the otherwise consistent design of those areas. And really, it's only the feet that I have a major bone with; the chest looks fine in its own right, it's just "bad" because it's different. I've said it before, but my ideal YF-19 toy would be a 3-set of separate Fighter, Gerwalk, and Battroid modes, all tailored to best exemplify the design in each form. So a slim, long fighter, a somewhat deformed Gerwalk with exaggerated legs and arms, and a chunky, aggressive Battroid. (I keep hoping against hope that Hasegawa will release Battroid and Gerwalk YF-19 kits that do just this...)
