Right?!

HAHA. I'm with you there. And it never hurts to blame HG either!

Lol...you guys are brutal. You all know that Mandarake allows you to process your item in cart and then they send a follow up email confirming availability before you can pay. If that was a storefront item, it might have been sold locally or even to someone online before @canklebreaker was able to acquire it. It's very possible that he indeed snagged it during the day in the States only to be told over night (with the time difference) that the item was no longer available.

I was reading a post on FB from the Macross Fans - US group page. Someone from the board here posted promoting MW and a guy replied: "They are the reason why preorders run out on Bandai valks." Kinda got a kick out of that For example, I'm sure this thread provides lurkers with a ton of info who don't actually contribute. *shrugs*

Yeah, that’s what I’d be afraid of. I’m just hoping that the the 1J was an initial run to test the market, and after the quick turnaround of 1A to 1S, we see something sooner. In theory, the molds exist now for a whole badass run between SDFM TV and DYRL. Paint and markings would be the major changes.

So, we had the 1J pre-order July 2018, 1A pre-order April 8 and the 1S on June 3. It appears that we’ll see at least see a DYRL Roy 1S, Max and Kakizaki based on Strike Parts description. When do you all project the next one?

Love that!

Yuup...That GIF was for @HardlyNever Haha

There are still missiles for sale but they are fairly marked up. It's my understanding that Bandai doesn't typically re-release TWEs. So, I would take it while you can if you want to pay the markup: Amazon Japan (a couple Global fulfilled by Amazon): https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/offer-listing/B07PBWQXKH/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new Kurama Shop: https://www.bandaionline.com/dx-chogokin-missile-set-for-vf-1-in-stock/

Great observations. Thanks!
-
Word. In general, I find that our idea of polite and customer service can have subtle differences than Japanese culture in that we are an individualistic and low context culture while Japan is a collectivist and high context culture. (Not correcting you or even suggesting that you aren't aware of this. Really just mentioning for the community's sake because it's been a hot topic in recent weeks as to contacting various shops about our POs. Anyone interested should just google those terms. ) And crazy that you still have a lost package from 2017 with NY! Annnnd you still order from them? Kudos. Glad the VF-1S PO got ironed out.

I wonder if those who ordered from NY on the second wave show April? Glad you reached out and reported! I thought that would be the case. Their website is just not robust so it’s not surprising.
-
While we're on the topic, what does it show for those who ordered the 2nd wave from NY? I did mine on the 7th and is showing this in my order history:

Yeah, their website isn't known for it's state-of-the-art web 2.0 fanciness. It seems that the product page is the same as the original. You could message their customer service for clarification? I know some sites are ridiculous when it comes to asking questions about orders, but that's really the whole point of customer service, ya know? For me, whenever I approach a question with one of the Japanese sites, I try to do it as complimentary to the store as possible without sounding like a demanding, entitled American (since I'm from the states) that is questioning their integrity.

Right?! The video opens with the price as though to taunt us...
-
What color did you use? Great idea.

Another VF-1S video:

All depends on how I'm displaying. Keeping it story-accurate, I place the pilot in for Fighter mode and Gerwalk.
-
Well at least the NY discussion was relative to a community member getting his 1S. I wasn’t understanding the Gundam Style talk especially after politely pointing out the thread. Haha
-
Maybe this is stating the obvious, but in the chat feature it actually has a section to change address with an online agent. Have you tried that?
-
Thanks for the update, man.
-
Man I wish I had been awake at that time. I’ve been watching AmiAmi closely
-
Sweet. The product page is completely gone now (both the sandbox and the real one). If you do a search, it’s no longer on the site haha.

What about you @nathans82 ? Any word back?
