Eating my words here.  Paid $315 shipped EMS just now on Nippon Yasan.

if Fokker is not a tamashii release, we are all screwed.

Unless of course they release more batches than the VF-1A. I would suspect....well I wont assume anything after the last 18 hours. Did a number on my sleep, but it was an eye opening experiance. 

27500. Whoa..270.00 give or take. WT fricking....anyone recall what the VF-1J was going for on release day? I know I'm gonna pay a mark up but dang that seems silly.

After the last 11 hours I figured out what "cart jacked"  means. 

Funny thing I noticed, I hobby link Japan website I added the VF - 1A to my wishlist and notice that it stated this item is limited to 20 per customer. Does anybody know of hobby link Japan requires payment upfront?

This is what happens when I sit in front of my computer all day, hitting refresh on 11 online store sites CONSTANTLY.

After the feat of what you did last night, this morning and even now, I dont think a there's anyone else on here that deserves it more

Agreed, I think scalpers were out in full force last night. If anyone got an extra, let me know, and we can talk. i prefer to give my money to a macross member, and not to an effin' scalper.

I'm right there with you. I have had nothing but positive dealings with every member here when buying goods.

A release that isn't plagued by lack of quantity? Sorry the salty tears are slowly drying up. This to shall pass.

Well crap, sleep for 4 hours and missed the AJ window. Nin-Nin is at 320 shipped (jeez).

Wowzers! Yep that's to steep for my blood. I have other things to invest in for entertainment.

Whole heartily agree @SpaceCowboy. I suspect that on release day or a couple days after there will be a window when the sellers are competing with one another to get one at price that doesn't leave me feeling violated when I get it.

what i do when this happens, is click through to any other page and click on the box to type your reply. at the bottom you should have a "clear editor" message.

Thanks for the info @apptt4

If I had managed to get one let alone 2 I would happily oblige @kkx . I am going to have to wait until release date and let everyone that had purchased multiple ones selling them   fight against one another until the price is reasonable tome before I secure one.

I guess if you were able to stay awake all night you managed to get one?  My official line is still frakk Bandai, personally.  I’m tired of standing in line in the middle of the night.

@MommarI woke up at 0130 Central Time US. No luck on any site. I have them all up and am refreshing them. But i agree with you. I took 14 years away from collecting Macross and just recently got back into it. This is just silly and I am very happy for those here that managed to secure one, but I don't like the way it went down and seeing them on YJ for the scalping rates. Even Badai Online had a few. I could have secured one there...at 100.00 mark up.

I gave up a night's sleep and still managed to miss the late additions at NY and Bandaionline. Collecting Bandai DX is fun.

Also I can't figure out how to keep this from auto filling my last message I typed. (My last post quoted somebody)

I have had the same problems with posting sometimes. It seems when I initially want to quote someone but change my mind I cant.

And just like that...All is quiet on the home front. Sleep well travelers.

Thank you to @Shizuka the Catand @Valkerie23. We appreciate your assistance and help. I'll keep looking but cant justify the Bandaionline $100 mark up. Thanks all. And a huge CONGRATS to those who scored!

Guys, I just grabbed one at AmiAmi. I was on my phone and kept refreshing the page and it just finally showed up for me to place an order. Dont know how or if some one cancelled, etc, but I was able to put one through. God willing, it wont be cancelled. Keep trying!!!

Closed for orders when I got to the page. Well I didn't get one. Not for lack of effort. This was fun, but I wont be doing that again..for any of thier releases. Not worth the lack of sleep and price of mind.

shittiest PO night ever. Scalpers knew how VF-1J appreciated.

That seems to be a good read on the situation
