So weird. When this threat started I was super excited. Fast forward a few years and responsibilities have changed dramatically. That and I slept through the PO again. 30.00 jump from a few hours ago at Kura seems a little steep. Now it makes me wonder how much any American retailer is going to start the price at.

Can you make a claim for the damage? 

I have already done it. But the fact that they are sold out with no intention of re-stock at HLJ, Im not sure what they can do. And I have never had any issue with HLJ, and know it was FEDEX that are at fault. Gonna do the same with FEDEX now.

Thanks FEDEX. 1st time for everything I guess.

😮 Still no news for me. Got 2 with them.

Didnt pay for mine at HLJ yet. I emailed them and asked about when I could expect it...I got this response:

"Thank you for reaching out to us.
 
Because this kit is in extremely high demand while production numbers are low, unfortunately, Bandai was only able to supply a small initial shipment of the HI-METAL R VF-1J Armored Valkyrie (Hikaru Ichijo Machine) Revival Ver.. When our initial shipment arrived for release day, orders were filled in the exact chronological order that they were placed, and I'm afraid your order was not placed in time to secure an item from that  batch.
 
Your order for this kit puts you in the line for when Bandai produce reproduction runs, but please note that we cannot guarantee when orders will be filled in subsequent restocks. Order fulfillment may require additional time depending on restock frequency and the amount of stock we receive.

We hope to have the item back in stock soon. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience, and your business with us. Have a nice day!

Best regards

Customer Service

HobbyLink Japan"

So I cancelled it and went to Anime-Export and got one...and for less I might add. Never had any issues with HLJ but I wanted to secure one at least.

Make sure to check both ShowZ and Gundamnit. Despite being partners it seems that one will have different Moahow items.

Loving these figures. By far some of the best toys out there. Interested to see the Cyclone figures pan out.

And.....order stop....

Mine from HG doesn't even show as being shipped at all as of yet. But I did order the Destroid Tomahawk from them, and that arrived.

Would like to add another HUUUUUGE shout out to @sumyumgoy. He came through with a metal build I couldn't get in time.

always a damn good MWer. Greatly appreciated again Sum.

As noted watch this board for preorders. To know when to watch this board I suggest turning on email notifications for the threads you're interested in here.

When a lot of email activity happens you will know its time to check in here.

This is what I do as well. And I found that Yahoo ( i know its dated) has been the fastest response from when someone posts here to when I receive the email.

Yeah I was and still am really looking forward to the VF-1A Mass Pro.

As it's still orderable for me, this confirms that limit is one and if you're logged in, you'll see sold out.  

Good catch!!! Didn't even think about that. 

I was not expecting this release. Been away and just trolling chats lately. But I'm happy about it as I was worried about the DX 1/48 line.

AE is still up.

Damn...shows sold out now

^^It probably will “go” (break off) when going between bike mode and armor mode! 

If its made by Moshow, that may not be the case. Their releases are solid. Some of their most recent figures are bangers. Now if we have the option to remove them I may be in for one as I missed the previous Sentinel releases.

The antennae or whatever they are on the head bugs the hell out of me. 

Yeah, the Arkim Knight head  gear needs to go.

Am I seeing Moshow Toys? As in the Moshow that started with knock off of Gundams. Their toys admittedly (IMO) have been pretty damn solid.

you can joint their free 30 day trial Tom premium subscription to get some extra discount off the price. You can cancel the subscription anytime.    Also payment is upfront .    

Thanks @F360. Never shopped here, but was reasonable price and will probably drop any premium. Not before using points though.

I went as far as purchase and stated is 218.00. I assume that's before the shipping costs. But that's what the total was for the item.

Edit: I ordered it from AE, paid (PayPal receipt and deduction from account shows it as such) , but now (for the first time in my experience) it doesn't show any item ordered, or in the ready to pay shipping or shipped tab. Ticket sent. I have had great experiences with AE on all my other purchases so I assume it will get sorted.

@sqidd Whats the Over/Under for success chance because at the rate of success I may also becoming a collector of a bad liver.

Thanks @Shawn. Now back to sleep. 

Up on Gundamit. 198.00USD. Little high for my tastes. But shows as being available and in stock.

Great Picts.

Mandrake it is.
