I just emailed AE and asked on when the strike packs will get shipped, then I received an email saying request shipment of items, just waiting to pay for them and get it shipped. yey!

*Edit* just paid for shipping

Merry Christmas everyone!!

AE mentioned that the release date for them is on the 24th of Dec as I asked that some peeps have the strick packs in hand.

Hello,

no, that information is wrong, it will be released on 24th.

I know that my mine also says April but they did confirm that my mine is coming this December (will have to confirm with them again -EDIT - looks like even though my mine says April, I would get the December release

Hello,

that is correct.

Anyone got a shipment notice from AE? Still waiting for my mine, oh man, I can't wait!!!

So I just wokeup and strike packs have already been released? Nice!

I'm waiting for AE to ship my Strike Packs  

EDIT SOLD

Hi guys, I got a 3rd DX VF-1S coming, but just needed 2x.

Letting go for how much I got it from Nippon - $420 NZD (approx 264 USD according to google)

PM me and I'm sure we can work something out and can let go for a bit lesser on what I have paid  Payment would be via paypal and item will be shipped from NZ. I think shipping is around 52 usd to the states.

Many thanks!

I just received my other DX VF-1S on NY and also my Dairugger SOC which I waited for more than a month. LOL.

Nice pics everyone, keep them coming so that I will have display and pose ideas

Man, they look so good together....

Package has arrived from HLJ, waiting for NY - can't wait for the Strike packs

NY timeline for me.

VF1-S - got preparation email 4days ago order 700xxx

GX-88 Dairugger - got preparation email just yesterday and he got released in JP more than a month ago.

Yehey HLJ just sent a shipping notice!! Can't wait for the strike parts as well.

Nice time I order from NY - paypal it is even though conversion in paypal doesn't favor me. Thanks for the info as well guys!

I'm getting concerned that NY won't be able to fill my orders. I ordered late.

I ordered my GX-88 Dairugger from them, same PO night as DX Macross VF-1S. GX-88 was released a month ago in Japan and haven't received any preparation in progress, however, I did receive a preparation in progress for my DX Macross VF-1S, 25K mark up price, very ironic.

I'm still mad at them that GX-88 still has no movement, and they keep on saying, they are waiting for more stock. 

Looks like HLJ site is back now, I just shipped it, woooh, I can't wait!

Anybody else that got one from HLJ during PO night able to see their order? I can't see mine...

I have paid for my order, but looks like the website is having issues that you can't see it on your warehouse.

They are trying to rectify it within the next 24/48 hours

I thought I was the only who has issues with HLJ warehouse lol..

Same here, NY just sent a preparation of order email, wow! and the price for it was 25K yen, hmmm, but still no news on GX-88 Diarugger which was released last month in JP. lol

Looks like I will get my VF-1S from HLJ much more earlier than the GX-88 Dairugger from NY - still no notification on them about when my item will get shipped.

I ordered a 2nd one from NY - but I'm not expecting that to arrive anytime soon, lol

Ugh, trying to decide whether to grab a VF-1S pre-order using a proxy service (e.g. FromJapan) or wait until around release date to see if HLJ or AE have some extras/PO left-overs come available.  My only concern with the proxy service is they have to wait for the seller to ship to them, then shipping it to me...and what happens if something goes wrong with the seller, etc.  Decisions...

Has anyone grabbed a late PO resale from a proxy service before?

Its good that we are seeing Max available even with a bit of a mark up but I think Hikaru's VF-1S is a different beast, hopefully this is not the case but I doubt it.

I got a PO from HLJ and also bought one from NY with 25,000 yen mark up when the PO opened.

Hi guys, PM me if you are keen on a VF-1A Max got a PO ordered, just letting go on how much I got it + shipping to me, sorry I can't change the address now of the order now.

Due to family situations.

I wonder if those who ordered from NY on the second wave show April?

 

Glad you reached out and reported! I thought that would be the case. Their website is just not robust so it’s not surprising.

No worries! I would fire them and email as well just to be sure but atleast my report indicates should be the 1st release from A-E

hahaha! Just noticed my one as well April 2020 from Anime Export - damn for 2x... Order my one on June 7, LOL

Just emailed A-E and below is the response:

Hello,

you will receive it on first release.

Meaning December release I assume? *phew*

REsponse from AE

Hello,

yes, that is correct!

hey guys, with me being insane, I just PO that metal structure - I'm passing on my VF-1A Max PO will change the shipping if anyone is keen - selling how much I got it $220 USD (340 NZD) shipped to you. PM me if you are keen (accept paypal)
