Nice @F360! Don't take mine!
-
Haha yeah, I love the brown shipper box. Especially since you can open the bottom and close it without breaking any seals. But hey, I'd take a 31A with no shipper if I could get another at a decent price.
-
Considering they need to check the items and always show pictures of the actual item you buy, I'd say no brown box. I've never received a TWE item from them with the brown box.
-
Possibly. I guess you can't have it all. Lowest prices are good enough for me. I don't need someone blowing smoke up my @$$ or holding my hand, just give me my toys, lol. On a more direct VF-31 note, I added the super parts to my 31F today. First set of supers I've played with so far for the 31s and it's really well made. Plus, it looks badass. Sorry, no pics yet but you've all seen it.

Right. Unbelievably low prices with no delivery is a scam. NY consistently offers lowest prices with delivery. Whatever, I don't care about any of these shops, just whoever sends me what I want for the lowest price. Just happens to be NY most the time but I didn't get an order in for the 31A through them.
-
Looking good! I finally opened my VE-1, Missile Glaugs and DX 31F Super Parts today.
-
If NY was as greedy and shady as some keep saying, they wouldn't have to offer the lowest price in the first place. I know they are doing it as part of their business model to make money but again, they could still charge more to begin with.
-
Nice! I was wondering what part was used for the stand.
-
You'd have to right?

Good job! LOL Yep, I think they will fulfill all orders eventually.
-
Wait until you find out you forfeited the remaining balance of your voucher by doing that.
-
They have a simple combine order feature but last night I noticed they wouldn't let me order or combine more than three items. Truly sucks. Another reason to wait it out or take my offer.
-
That sounds annoying. They do have some quirky operations. I couldn't stand them at first but once I got how they operate, I've quickly made them my goto shop based on their prices. I will still check with NY first but as mentioned, CDJ is becoming big time recently. They don't even charge up front for TWE items! Their posting times and search need some work but maybe I just need to start using them more to get their system better like I did with NY. So, does that mean you are 31A-less or did you secure one elsewhere?
-
Haha, thanks! Even though I had a shipping notice, still had my fingers crossed but now that it's reality, I'm good. BTW, my NY offer still stands if anyone wants! As for other shop options, CDJ has been stepping their game up in the last couple weeks. Just recently before that, they were matching HLJ's climbing prices but now it seems like they are trying to take on NY for the low price leader. Good news for all of us! Like I said, I don't care about any of these shops, I just appreciate they do what they do to allow us to buy these things but in the end, I support the one that gives me the same thing for cheaper.
-
Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Haha, nice @spanner! That VR headset looks fancy! -
OK, NY's site is down for me...That is something that would worry me more than anything else if it doesn't come back up soon. Edit: Nevermind, it's back
-
No, I think it's unreasonable when people complain without knowing that their item will not be delivered. Especially when the shop says it will be delivered and they just don't know when. It happens very often in the 3P world but I know you are referring to something else.
-
Haha, yeah. I love it so much I don't know if I can break its seal. But yeah, it will "fly" soon.
-
Thanks! Yeah, seems like 35-40k is a "good" deal for them these days. I'm still pulling for all the people with NY orders to get those too.
-
Yep, I was thinking about using the missile effects set with the armor. The Fext site says June or July 2018... Oh no! Will people start flipping when they don't get their orders late June? I don't have anything from Fans Hobby and haven't followed their releases but being late is pretty typical for 3P releases.
-
Well said. On that note, I came home to see my 31A arrived from CDJ.
-
I agree with you that a smaller company like Arcadia can put more attention and probably tailors production runs more specifically. I don't think Bandai had issues delivering the 31A. I think NY is having issues securing all the orders they made from wherever Bandai delivered them to.
-
Good video that breaks down all the facts. So far, the facts are: -NY offers the lowest preorder prices for TWE. -NY has delivered all previous TWE items, even when they said they had difficulty with stock and possibly had to buy the item at inflated prices. -Mykombini has refunded with the excuse that they could not secure stock, which seems to be impossible based on how TWE orders work. So if anything, I think it's safe to say Mykombini could be doing something shady and NY is doing what they can to help their customers. It makes sense that they will be happy to offer refunds to those who demand them because they know they can get more for those items when they get them. As for the practice of selling items for higher prices after the release date, that makes business sense if the value of the item has gone up, especially to help make up for the low prices they offer during preorder and any losses they might incur buying items in the aftermarket themselves to satisfy their customers. I get the frustration but the more information that comes through, the more reassured I am of doing business with NY. If they drop the ball on this one item, it truly sucks but it seems like they do what they can to get the fans the items we want for the lowest price. This looks absolutely fantastic!
-
They've only issued refunds to those who are contacting them about it. For everyone else, they have said nothing other than they will send when they can. Seems pretty clear cut to me.

Nice display and use of string! I was thinking about doing the same for a couple of my figures to free up space.
