Not used. There's a whole list of New with at least two of them with Global ship for 22,400 before consumption tax is removed. Just look at the whole list.

@Slave IV for the win! I actually only knew 90% of that, but failed to understand the Paypal conversion dilemma until now. For anyone else that missed this or is new, here is a walkthrough on how to change that (albeit old - info is still good just interface is different in screenshots): https://www.pointhacks.com.au/how-to-change-credit-card-billing-currency-in-paypal/ *Good to note that this only applies to Visa/Mastercard. It appears that Discover is automatic.

Yuuup...damn. Didn’t occur to me in the chaos if 1S but I had him in my cart at NY and tried to process payment to my demise. DOH.
-
Has anyone looked to see what time and how long it took to process an order at NY on PO night with their new ticketing system? Here’s mine from the Max PO night. I’d be curious what someone with a DYRL Hikkie shows. Anyone confirm? Though I guess the problem here is the pre-pay.... Quicker to pay later.

NY finally sent notice of shipment. Things are moving there. Woo hoo. Getting a set of missiles out of jail that I accidentally had in my cart at time of PO.

Yup. NY be like:

NY is an interesting beast. They don't have a normal method that any of us can figure out (and I believe it's been explained to you before when you were inquiring about making a Bot). The short of it is that they don't go by their own allotted quantities from Bandai strictly speaking but source out any additional quantities they need. And they always come through even if it takes forever. In a TWE case, they act as a proxy. So, they (among others) purchase from p-bandai and then resell to us. With the Strike parts, they had a listing before p-bandai even opened up ordering. Myself and many others jumped the gun and purchased before p-bandai opened their own listing. That listing sold out in like 10 min and NY still had the initial post open for another two days. They finally "sold out" of that batch. Then p-bandai opened another listing for the strike parts to be delivered in April 2020 (you mentioned Dec 2019, but you didn't get in on that order, you got the April one). NY opened another listing for April delivery where it still stands open. Who the hell knows if they'll actually be able to deliver all of the units purchased in the December window? That's the point. Those of us that ordered from them in the December window might find ourselves actually waiting till April.

Good point. My strategy is to purchase from NY on PO (when HJL, AmiAmi, AJ etc. fall through) knowing they'll deliver. Then on release day doing my damnedest to snag at MSRP like I did with AJ for Max. I did the same thing for the missiles. A 3rd party seller had them on AJ at release and the markup with cheap shipping equaled the PO price + shipping with NY, so I bought it and came waaaay before my NY order. NY is my fallback and will get eventually.
-
Right?! Though still waiting for NY to ship Max, so I can't move on to Hikkie until I get Max! And then will be waiting forever for 1S. I made the rookie mistake of ordering 4 Strike Parts all from NY. Good news is that I did it before the first wave sold out. Bad news is that NY takes forever. I should've split my orders between them and AE for example. At least NY is generally known for delivering....eventually.
-
I reached out to them inquiring about purchasing spare parts or if they would consider doing that. Here's the reply: Could be worth others making mention. I particularly want the sweet upgrades that @Saburo has...
-
Nice! And my AJ order from Sat shipped as well. Still can’t believe I got through that night.
-
Finally got “Preparation in Process” from NY! Might not ship for another week, but hey, making progress.
-
I don't want to create unnecessary hope, but VF-31E wasn't offered with global ship at PO and then at release AJ opened it up with Global Ship. However, it was in much lower demand.
-
Well... Max is a stud...so...

https://fext-hobby.myshopify.com/ Our very own @Saburo helped design it. I don't think anyone knows the answer to that right now. Maybe? Maybe not. Stranger things have happened. You'll likely be able to get it, but it is supposedly the most popular valk in Japan. I'll add that with the 1A, it seems I caught a rare opportunity and snagged on AJ under MSRP direct from AJ, but no one else reported it. So, think of how 1S will do. (Though AJ never offered the 1S on PO with Global ship.)
-
No, I actually selected EMS, but I also had Missiles in the cart when it all hit so the order was combined.
-
Sweet. Good to know. Mine is still in “pre-payment ok” stage. Not even prepping yet and I snagged on PO night haha.
-
It means they're going to cancel the orders on you and actually blacklist you from ordering again. You sure your CC is paid up?? JK I find that many of these companies wait to charge you until the product is processed for shipment. So, for example, I ordered Max direct from AJ. I have a pending charge and suspect that I won't see it hit until it's processed for shipment. Nothing to worry about on the AJ side. I haven't ordered from 1999 but know that HobbySearch is reputable.

Nice man! Looking good.
-
It's par for the course with NY as of the last few releases. As @Slave IV always says, "I'm not worried. It always arrives."

Womp womp

Bummer. Video is blocked in the States.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

That’s awesome! -
Yuuup. This is my 2nd 1A at less than MSRP, but really just practicing for 1S. I bought one at markup PO night but determined for one at MSRP.
-
No, we're referring to purchasing directly from Amazon Japan G.K. It's been showing up as an option on the app for the past several hours (not on the website though,) but it's been giving different errors when adding to cart or trying to check out. I was fortunate to land it and process the order for 18,000 Yen. But no reports of others hitting yet and now it's down again. Here's a pic of one of the errors. (This was before I landed the order.)
