    I would but I’m hoping Bandai makes one in DX form. But even if they do, it will be a matter of if I can get a preorder, lol!
  2. Slave IV
    LOL, looks like my plan of ordering a couple months from now might be shot. No worries still, they already announced another batch so I guess I'll order sooner if it comes back up.
  3. Slave IV
    Yeah, I still love these things!

    Another addition to the 1/48 collection. It is in spectacular condition and very solid all around. Not bad for a V1.

    Nice! I need that Firebird!

    Finally got my hands on this Blu Ray set Don’t care about the Blu Ray but been wanting the figure inside it. Shipping cost more than the set but in the end, it was still less than msrp so I’m ok with it. Also got a Reina figure for under $3 thrown in the box for good measure and to help complete Walkure. Just need to get Kaname now.

    Yeah, not a huge deal but like I said, just ranting. But basically, if I need to ask a shop if they have confirmed and secured an item that doesn’t come out for months after getting a confirmation of my order already...

    I really wish people would leave these shops alone unless they actually have an issue. If you can’t trust that a store that has been well known and reliable for years to deliver an item you purchase from them then you should just shop elsewhere. It will make things easier for the shops to do their job of delivering and securing orders. Sorry, just ranting but when I order stuff from whatever store, I place my order and leave it at that. I don’t need to check order status, delivery status and then tracking status every day and I still end up with what I ordered. If for some reason I don’t get what I want (never happened from any of these major shops discussed) or have a need to change something, then I will contact them.

    Great points @HardlyNever I still don’t think it is completely that complicated while I agree and know of the marketing tactics but if anything, I think if it is a factor, a very minor one in this case. I think the main thing is just the rule of limited resources and maximizing profits. Bandai would simply rather focus more of their resources on bigger, more popular, and most importantly, more profitable brands.

    So Amazon actually delivered my Chuck order and it came in good condition with decent paint. Glad that fiasco is over after months of adding it only to get an empty cart message.

    I'm still gonna wait at least a month to order my Strike Packs from NY and not gonna worry about it.

    Hi-Metal R

    Fun stuff!

    I’ve changed address with NY using the ticket system. No problem at all.
  14. Slave IV
    Oh man, that sucks! I have had things there for well over a year and no problems. How long did you say (if you did) your stuff sat there? No problem! You are well known to go out of your way to help people here so I didn't want @canklebreaker to get the wrong idea.

    In a case like this, I would have my CC company refund my money and then use a different one if I ever wanted to buy from them again (probably wouldn't want to, lol).

    AE tried to do a site overhaul a few months ago. It lasted a couple hours I think before they had to shut down and revert to the old site. Lol! Too bad HLJ and amiami didn’t do the same with their sites.
  17. Slave IV
    If they do it will make a most likely buy to an instabuy.

    This talk of parts is more reassuring to me because again, parts doesn't sound like stickers to me. I seriously doubt the parts will work double sided though. That would be too smart and probably interfere with some complicated locking system engineered into them.
  19. Slave IV
    All I'm thinking is I hope these insignias are interchangeable plastic parts and Bandai doesn't Bandai us and do something like make them a one time attachement where you have to pry and probably break the part to remove it for switching. I personally don't care what the number designation under the skull is and my hope is if they don't release a full bundle pack with the Valk, at least just include the insignia part with the valk so we can switch them (and hope there isn't the feared issue I mentioned).

    I'm late to the conversation but @canklebreaker, I did not see that post as someone rubbing it in to you. They were just simply stating that they contemplated getting one but decided to pass. Honestly, I don't remember seeing a post specifically from you asking anyone to help you get one so you can't expect evoryone here to be on the lookout to buy figures they don't want just to help others. Sure, if you ask someone specifically and that person responds that they will try to help you, which happens often, and then that person comes on to say they could have helped you but didn't, that would be a dick move but that's not what happened. As for the Super/Strike Packs, I'll order in a couple months and hope the exchange rate is better. Not worried about it at all.

    Maybe they will sell the kite “mark parts” as a separate set? “Mark parts” don’t sound like stickers to me. I’m intrigued.
  22. Slave IV
    Thanks! So basically we are still unsure. Oh well. Will need a few either way.
  23. Slave IV
    Is there any description that says what the different markings are made of? Are they stickers or interchangeable plastic panels? Panels would be sweet!

    TWE = Tamashii Web Exclusive. The 31A was a one time situation and in the end, they still delivered. Really, everyone should shop however makes them most comfortable. I stick with NY whenever I can and mostly because they have the lowest initial preorder prices and offer the cheapest (also slowest) shipping.
  25. Slave IV
    I would and will go with NY. And I'll wait a few months before I place my order because I know I can and it will be all good. Pretty much the only other choice is Anime Export unless you want to go through a specific proxy service.
