when is the pre order?

In general speaking, if the PO item will get released within 6 months, then I can say it's also safe to get it thru their eBay store. Why, because you're basically 100% protected by Paypal's Purchase Protection. Whereas if you get it thru their online store, I'm not sure if they will refund it 100% if they don't deliver, or just get store credit.

Anyone, feel free to correct me regarding MyKombini since I haven't purchased anything from them.

 

icic thank man. totally missed out on the gunbarrel striker n had to do it on ebay

If you're talking about the MB Gernsback and the Gunbarrel strike, yeah it seems it was instantly sold out the moment it was posted in NY. Though these are Limited items with low household limit so that would explain the quantity. Was able to snag orders for both from MyKombini but let's see if they can deliver (heard that they sometimes can't fulfill orders for limited items such as this)

so is it safe to get the pre order from ebay? if u missed it by 1 day?

not sure by placing one order instead of 2 from amiami is a gd decision 

NY freaking scam man.... pull it off and then jack up the price...

mine with them also error then i just switch to CDjapan.

Its limited to 1 as shown on your cart. You can try to go around the system , if cough, depending on them your account could be suspended.  

But when I bought it few days ago there was no limited to 1 per customer I think.

Could it be only during pre order period?

Finally my super and strike stealth 1J has someone for company

Yeah I tried to order a second 31J a couple of weeks after release and they canceled it. When they say "limit 1" they mean it! 

31S is not limited to 1 or it is?

I got mine after the PO so maybe its different?

L to R: Chuck's, Arad's, 2 Kairos units.

Chuck's and Arad's.

 

seems to me like a big piece of attachment to the VF back similar to ghost booster

just to check with u guys... HLJ VF-31S is now sold out. Before they sold out i have place an order with them. So that mean I'm safe for my order?

 

and will it cancel my order if previously i have one shipped to me?

If you placed an order and got a confirmation email before it went into sold out status, then you're fine. 

However, if you bought one previously and it's a "limit 1 per customer" item then HLJ will cancel your order. 

icic thanks. got them after PO so i guess i should be fine. Thanks again

Like Shizuka said, you can head to Jenius site since he reviewed both line and posted differences from one another. In the Charm & Collectability section, he rated 4/5 to Takatoku while 3/5 to Bandai reissues.

I guess the old ones r still better from the ratings

That is the old Takatoku / Bandai "chunky monkey" 1/55 scale line of VF-1 toys, originally circa 1984 or 1985 or so, though re-released a few times since then by Bandai.

icic thanks man. but is the bandai re released quality as gd as the old Takatoku?

Clear scan of the cover. It does look nice. 

Things to notice:
- Side Covers included
- Double-jointed elbow
- Holes in elbow joint (probably for locking tabs)
- Dark part something underneath the cockpit area (presumably the leg bars)
- Swivel (or Rotating?) Gerwalk joints between the intakes and thigh
- Looks like it has a rotating knee joint as well
- Good amount of tampo prints in Battroid Mode
- Exposed locking tabs behind the legs
- Leg fins fold joints (for future GBP release?)
- Even if it's too early to see, the shoulder joints looks like it has a sliding mechanism

I really like what I'm seeing.  

 

dun mind me asking but the one on the bottom ls from which line? 

its from the 80s right? i had one but arms r gone so is the chest plate...but man..it is a very quality piece of fig

My old Yamato VF-0S has already gone yellow but i guess its expected, Australian sun

Even my yama stealth super n strike also has yellowing on the stealth parts

Yeah NY originally had it for 17580 JPY which is what I got it for.  It’s usually a good idea to stay up and get it early and get it cheaper.

Was hoping a better price... In that case get it from rakuten better...10% off

Vf-31s at 23k?
