Everyone: “Macross hobby is expensive!” Bandai: “Hold my beer”
-
I just googled anime export and Macross and it came up. Hope it doesn’t affect anyone negatively. Anyways, bandaionline/kurama has the strike parts for $106 shipped slow with SAL. Can’t decide if I should pull the trigger or wait for a more reputable seller.
-
So is this real? **removed link** I was able to add to cart but never used AE before. Edit: sandbox in url, probably not real
-
Wow $135.48 shipped at nin-nin for strike/supers. Yeah I’ll wait
-
Same. Waiting for more confirmation for how long it will be after the first wave of shipping. If only the valks themselves sold out this “slowly”.
-
Slightly off topic: has there been an engineering attempt to add anime magic to the wings (besides detachable HMR shorter wings or engaging gerwalk joint) so you can bend the knee up towards the chest in battroid or kick straight out without hitting the wings?
-
After getting my first Dx (yf-19), I think I want just one from this line and then I’m out. GBP doesn’t interest me at this point so I think a 1j or 1s, some accessories in the packs, maybe missiles, some yeti stands and then back to a cheaper (easier?) HMR line
-
lol it seems like I can’t have some reassurance whether it’s this or nin-nin.
-
The banking-on-securing-later-but-somehow-still-at-a-profit-for-them part makes me uneasy as well. We take it on good faith as a consumer but as others have said, PO’s have been canceled before or unable to be fulfilled or much later.
-
Thanks. Now how do I cancel from nin-nin. Looks like just do a chargeback thru paypal and my credit card, but will probably get blacklisted/banned? edit: ah I see cancellation policy only for store credit. Hmmmm. mykombini never put max up for sale so I wasn’t ready for them.
-
So do they require prepay or deposit? I haven’t used them before. It looks like I have an order with them but was not prompted to pay?
-
They use this channel to make actual announcements? I thought those were paid actors acting like they were interested in the hobby.
-
So should we panic now? I haven’t ordered a strike pack yet. Was waiting for a voucher request from support desk of nin-nin. This line is a rollercoaster and fickle mistress.
-
So weird. Nin-nin has the vf-1a max for $285.86 up for pre-order again. edit: maybe it’s always been there and for that price and I haven’t noticed, unlike mykombini.
-
How does one use loyalty points/vouchers from nin-nin? I’m wondering if it’s worth using for the strike pack. It says I have 1349pts waiting for validation
-
I thought people posting links was pretty nice already IMO... Edit: I also just jumped into the hobby and it’s pretty unwelcoming. The hobby, NOT the community.
-
Thank you. Looks like they fit well! Excited.
-
Someone asked earlier. Has nin-nin worked out okay for others in the past? Paypal has the 180 days protection thing right? It was only “pay now” and not “pay later” and I know they have a policy for canceling those who “abuse or cancel often” but if they’re not reliable, should I cancel my order now? Through PayPal?
-
Release day always has PO prices open for amazon japan and hlj right, presumably from extra supply from cancelled orders? Has that happened for the vf-1j and others?
-
Maybe it’s time to turn to...Kickstarter! Companies love that no risk thing and it’s worked great in the board game world for the most part.
-
$294.16 shipped at nin-nin. Went for it but prefer the yellow scheme or the vf-1j honestly.
-
Did anyone actually see the msrp price on amazon?
-
HLJ needs amazon’s servers
-
Tried doing it on mobile phone and safari and chrome, in bed. Guess I deserved not getting it because I disrespeklol
-
I think only amazon japan opened up for more orders randomly after the first round with the vf-1a, right?
