DYRL VF-1S

Same here... but it seems likely to happen given a couple more DYRL releases. We're bound to see a DX VF-1A Max and Hikaru some time soon, maybe a 1S Roy DYRL and, dare we dream, a 1S Max? Any couple of those will likely trigger a SSP reissue at the way Bandai is going and how well the parts have been selling.

Yes let us dream.

If your order from BBTS and have any issues you can deal with them.

Agreed. And based on the shiz show that happened on the board between the owner and others (pages long aired out on the board) I’m more comfortable dealing with BBTS even if I get it later. So I preordered from them. I’m sure it will be a great product but producing a great product doesn’t equal great customer service. I trust BBTS.

I think the whole world is in on the scam to sell things to consumers any chance they get at this point. Everyone In the world has Black Friday “sales” now, lol!

 Haha well I noticed places that cater to the states definitely do like HLJ usually.

Thanksgiving is an American holiday and the craziness we associate with Black Friday in America isn't really a thing in Japan. 

So it won't really be any different than any other release. 

Exactly

Will some stores begin shipping Roy's VF-1S next Friday? I hope so. In any case, we're now 10 days away from November 30.

Yeah, it's possible. But those that do will have received their stock early. Many of them won't have the stock shipped to them on the 28th and then once received shipped to you.

Do we have a date for the 1D preorder?

On 11/16/2020 at 9:10 AM, DYRL VF-1S said:

No.

The same was asked a few days ago. Trust me, everyone will know when a date is available as it will be discussed here at great length.

Does anyone know when will the pre orders for the VF-1D start? 

No.

I WANT ALL THE MACROSS!!!

Speaking of the TV super packs, the blue color looks too dark/DYRL colored for me? Is it just me?

Yeah, I noticed it was a bit darker too. It doesn't bother me because I still see the contrast from DYRL, but like, next to a 1/55 chunky with Supers, it's hella dark.

Even if you dont get an email, check into the pay for shipping tab in AE.

No truer words have been spoken. Make sure to do this.

For those that missed the first batch, get ready for Friday: https://tamashii.jp/item/13497/

Curious about buying the Focker now on eBay or Amazon vs buying on release date from say HLJ.

 

Is there no chance of getting it at MSRP on the day of release?

35 minutes ago, no3Ljm said:

Yes and no. It's always a gamble.

 

In the end, it's more of a concern if you can secure one or not.

While there is a chance of getting it for a lower price than the current scalpers, I'd say the odds of getting it MSRP are slim to none.

That being said, I scored Hikkie VF-1S at Hobby Search a day or two before release. So, it can be done. My philosophy has been if I have the funds to try and secure it at a price point you're comfortable with because like Noel said most of us just want to secure one. Then try and secure one for MSRP on release day. In my case, I was able to sell my extra VF-1S that was slightly above MSRP (from NY when they actually delivered and their only flaw was hiking prices immediately) and keep my HS one.

Ummm... did lightning just blow this guy's clothes off?????

Pretty much. Crazy what they showed in the 80’s lol. Kinda like in DYRL when Hikaru smacks Minmei and watching that now makes me cringe a little.  At least later on in Macross the guys get slapped a bit like Alto and Hayate.

It also gave Adam a nice tan allover which made him unrecognizable to a lot of people especially those close to him. 

Right?!

Got my ass whooped good for buying three DXs'...over relatively a "short period of time" according to wife.

 

..Damn you joint account.

HA! I feel you. We had separate accounts for YEARS and then combined them a couple of years ago. I had to be like.... wellll if you are concerned then we can go back to separate accounts. That seemed to do the trick and doesn't come up often now.

Hmm wonder if the 1D or GBP will make the PO first..

Likely 1D:

I tell my kids all the time: You get what you get and you don't throw a fit. HA

My recommendation is to escalate a ticket on chat after at least two days after opening one with no response. The chat support won’t be able to solve your issue but you just ask them to escalate for you. They usually respond to the ticket after escalation within a day or two.

 Just be mindful that chat is only open certain times (I don’t know what those timeframes are).

I finally got store credit and product shipped ferry after that.

Gerwalk with Minmei in hand is a must.

The 2nd batch for the strike was only a couple of days from the opening of original preorder for the 1st batch since it was sold out hella quick .

Ahh yeah, that’s right

There’s a separate round of Supers set for April release. Anyone remember when the Strikes did PO for the second round? That would be a good guess for those.
