NY shipped mine late last night. Hopefully yours will go out soon. It really is a game with them though. They shipped out my Messer VF-1S 2 weeks after my prep in progress email even though I pre-ordered on the first day and they were shipping out other peoples orders right away.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
Boobytrap replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Who made them? Are they ones Hasbro made during Iron Man 2? Some of them look like ones I have from that line but if that's the case I didn't realize they made that many. In either case I would really like to get a Tony figure to add to my lineup so any info you could provide on that one would be appreciated. -
Also remember that part of the point of making it an event exclusive is to get people to come to the event. The more people at the event the more they can try to sell people on their other products. It's a captive audience for advertising that they otherwise may not have had access to. They may figure that it is better to lose a few VF-31J Kai sales to increase their overall sales across all of their product lines.

May be easier for them but not for us consumers. The end of 2017 and beginning of 2018 is hitting the pocket book harder than in any past years. That's not even taking into account Xmas expenses. No way I am missing this but I really need a financial reprieve next year.
-
AWWWWW YEEAAAAHH!!!! I was worried that they would never get around to this. I am soooo happy. No pre-order madness either. Just give me some super parts for this and Mirage and i'll be done with Delta except for maybe Roid's 262.
-
Most of their items are already re-releases to begin with. Which item did you feel sold like crazy? I haven't had any issues getting anything from them. Most, if not all (except maybe a PF?) have been available months after the release. They did re-release their YF-19 but I'd say it's arguable whether that was necessary or not. Besides what Sanity is Optional stated, I think they would be running a big risk of having shelf warmers.

PO one at BBTS. Their $4 flat shipping is hard to beat. If it ends up being cheaper with shipping from overseas they also have a great cancellation policy.
-
got my preparation in progress email for Messer VF-1S from NY. They currently have them in stock in case anyone still wants one.
-
Easy pass for me. No idea why they insist on going so gaudy with these anniversary color schemes. They are an ugly eye sore and don't match/contrast/highlight anything in my collection. I'm all for a custom anniversary scheme but they could do much better than the last two they have given us.
-
PO at NY. No PO discount at HLJ made it an easy choice. NY price plus EMS shipping was only a little over HLJ price without shipping.

Amiami up too http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-033313&

Saw in the premium thread that Max is already up at AE so figured I'd put the link here as well. http://www.anime-export.com/product/37375

No further update after being notified that it was pushed back to 9/30. If google translate is correct it looks like Max pre-order starts tomorrow. "From 9/15 tomorrow "VF - 1 J Super Valkyrie Maximilian Ginnasse boarding machine" will start reservation at retail shops nationwide nationwide!"
-
I would have expected them to finish with delta squadron first before doing this repaint. But with the lack of any delta announcements, not even the VF-31C super packs, something is better than nothing I guess. At least they haven't totally given up on DX delta toys. I really need them to push these out so that I have a chance to get the 31A.
-
Yeah, mine looked like that at one point. Used Plasti-Weld and it worked but in the end didn't solve the overall problem. It just started developing cracking in other areas. I would then fix those just to have others develop. In the end it crumbled to the point that it could no longer be glued. It's like plugging a dam. You can slow it down but eventually you'll be left with nothing but rubble. Best to either leave it permanently in fighter or replace them with shapeways parts.
-
Also got my HLJ payment request. I have always been able to get pre-orders in the past but was only able to order this today. Weird feeling to place a Macross order then pay for it to be shipped the same day.
-
If the only thing released for HMR were the VF-1's it would be no contest. Yamacadia would win hands down (for me it is better in every way) and I'd never own an HMR. The problem for my wallet is that the VF-1 isn't the only thing in the HMR line. We already have multiple things that were never made for the 1/60 line. If it continues to sell well we may get things that have never been made in any scale. That's too much good stuff to pass up so I've just resigned myself to collecting two lines.
-
Oh man, the news about a TV SDF-1 has got me drooling. The fact that they are seeking copyright approval means that, as a company, they already intend to make it. It's not just the toy designers wish list item. Please please please get the green light on that copyright approval.
-
Glad this was readily available today. Finally got one at HLJ. Maybe not as good as NY's original price but still less than retail. More than happy to pay that to get it.
-
Sunnofa... missed it again. The CDJ proxy is still there but I'm going to roll the dice and hope one of the regular retailers opens back up again or gets release day stock.
-
step away from the internet for a few days to enjoy my holiday weekend and come back only to find out that I missed out on the 31C again. Man I hope there are more of these at release.
-
1/48+fp's, 1/60+fp's, 1/72, 1/2k, 1/3k,1/100 and now 1/144

Love those picks. Very nice job with the subtle panel lining. Just dark enough to break up all the white but not so dark that it becomes a distraction. -
Wonder what the cause of the delay is. Arcadia should be masters at producing these re-issues by now. They didn't even pick a definitive date, just the arbitrary last day of the month (which happens to be a Saturday). Hopefully we'll get a more accurate release date next week.
-
Hopefully the lack of any additional VF-31C pre-order windows and any new Delta announcements doesn't mean that Bandai has moved on to better selling products. The show may have been a big disappointment but I do like the designs. Maybe they are just waiting for the movies to help drive interest back up, but after 9/9 there won't be a new valk in the pipeline for the first time in I don't remember how long (maybe ever?).
-
They didn't ask for anything additional from me. I chose EMS though so hopefully, for me anyway, it's because you had a different delivery method.
