NY will restock the items and ship them but it can take a long time, they did it with the Kairo’s.  I can understand canceling though and trying to get it somewhere else, I’ve done that before on other sites to ensure I secure an item.

although both of my VF-1S’s shipped from NY, I know if I was one of them that had not shipped I would be thinking of doing the same.  
 

I can say that from my experience, it’s not the timing of your order but when you actually paid that seems to determine the shipping priority.  Kind of like checking in on a flight.  If I pre order and then pay as soon as I get the notice, it won’t ship as fast as if I paid at the time of the order or before the payment notification.  I’m just trying to make some sense out of the riddle that is NY.  All I can say though is that they always do deliver, they may need to fight there way through to you but they always come.

Yeah and that makes sense, but I always thought the price was high and now that it's going to take long as well it just makes sense to order it somewhere else. I ordered another yesterday for allot less and it's already shipped

I politely contacted NY and asked if they had the stock to cover my order and if not if they could please cancel and they said they do not have the stock and apologized and cancelled my order. This works for me as the pre-order total with shipping was $377. Also found out Tenso translates to "transfer"

I think we need to consider that in Japan, the DX Hikaru VF-1S would have been an earth shaking release.  We will all get our orders but I’m betting this thing is causing third degree burns when people pick it up off the shelf in Japan.

Thanks for that, I feel a little less crazy  It honestly sounds like Black Friday opening level craziness to get the 1S

I paid a looooooong time ago.

I'm going to be ticked if they don't fill my order. I had a few chances of getting these on release day and passed.

They have until 2/10/20 to fill my order. At that point it's 6mo they would have had my money and the last chance I can file a charge-back with PayPal.

 2/10/20??? Have you had some experience in the past when NY took months to ship a pre-orders? I paid for the preorder in advance way more that what scalpers are charging now. but I checked NY and they have a no cancelling pre-orders rule

No shipping notice from NY.  I pre-ordered it at their scalper prices you'd think they at least be quick in getting them out.

Same here... ordered it about a month after pre-orders closed for 332 plus shipping -______-

Kind of frustrating

Anybody know ballpark what Hobby Search charges for EMS shipping?

Were you aware that Toynami issued a recall on that particular model?

As much as I laugh derisively at "the high level of quality that our customers expect," I must grudgingly respect them for taking responsibility for that particular dumpster fire.  That doesn't excuse the rest of their product line, of course, but it does suggest that the Shadow Alpha was, somehow, even worse.  

Refunds were issued, no questions asked, for a full two months after the announcement.

I still got the Maia Alpha. Never heard about the recall. The thing barely stands and won't hold the gun up. I kinda hate it but its the only alpha I have until Sentinel releases their beast... any day now (fingers crossed) 

 

Pre-order usually announced at facebook official page.

Thanks!

 

Any word on when Yellow will go up for pre-order?

Decided to change up the display a little while waiting (and wound up popping a few pieces out of their ball joints during the transformation ):

Not that I have heard. I'm not quite sure where else to check so I just keep coming here and checking Sentinels page. Anyplace else you know where they announced these the last time they released?

Not my pics. From the Wonder Festival 2019 (https://www.taghobby.com/archives/346499). My google translation says 20,000 yen releasing August 2019 (I read June though somewhere else)

CDJapan's original shipping cost listed to me was 3700 yen ($33.55) and went up to 5200 yen ($47.15). So $13.60 more. Not super happy about it but that's not what I would call crazy.

EDIT: I hate that math made me feel better. Im shaking my fist at my 4th grade math teacher.

Just got hit with a 5200 yen charge from CDJ, but also got a notice at the same time from Amazon that my order there shipped

Also the last email from CDJ said that they were on holiday from Dec 29th - Jan 3rd, so not sure when that's going to ship
