meh. I'll give them a shot.  After all, they haven't done me any harm before.

I wonder why mykombini doesn't have it, not that I can order from there anyway.

All my Roys from ebay shipped in a box that was just big enough to fit the valk in.  none got dinged or damaged luckily.

I bought all my Roys from Ebay.  Probably going to do the same thing with this one after it is released.  This preorder business is garbage.

well I'm out, looks like nin nin isn't restocking

um, AE refunded mine....

hmm I dunno, I probably should sleep before I get a headache from all this lol.  I got one from AE at least, so that's cool.  I'll try out bombusbee.  going to go sleep on all this

what about Bombusbee?

says 17 reservations left

BIJ is going to make us wait til the 6th :P

Ok got one from AE

I clicked add to cart at amiami and it just said please wait, that's bout it.

can't seem to be able to add to cart anywhere

yup.  tbh I would prefer at this point to purchase from AE but that's just me..

Hmm no link for BIJ or AE yet.  Hopefully there will be.

Which sites don't require pay up front?  If I may ask.

thanks

Just make sure u don't buy from nin-nin after they spike the price of the valk

I'll come back here and let you guys know if I break a deal with BIJ and release my pre-orders for the valkyrie parts set.  I'm not sure at this point how that will work since they said they come back on the 6th lol.

Can't wait man.  I'm at this point betting on AE for my orders unless BIJ comes back to list it from vacation too

Is Nin-Nin a good place to PO from?  Just wondering if anyone has ordered from them before and if they had a good experience?

Yes I ordered some valkyrie kits from there before with no issues.  Good price too.

BIJ is unaware of the armored valk and they also went on vacation til the 6th.  So I doubt we will be able to order this from BIJ... that kinda sucks.

Edit: also AE charged me only $45.75 to ship my TV super parts set.  It says "economy" whatever that is.

Oh ok then it's surface mail, not SAL.  They told me that a lot of shipping companies have suspended shipment to US that's why we gotta fork out $$$ for DHL and FedEx.

Ok guys. I applied for payment of shipping on AE.  Will let you guys know how that goes when they submit a price/bill to me.  I'll pay it for sure.  Also BIJ offered me 315 yen in addition to what I paid already for I think it's called SAL?  By ship.

I'm looking forward to paying these and hopefully tomorrow I can get that VF-1J that I have been wanting for quite a while now.

I'm going sea mail on my BIJ order, extra 310 yen.  Kinda sucks but not too bad I mean, I don't gotta be in a big hurry to get this item since i ordered from 2 different websites.  One will get here sooner than the other is all.

Yeah, looking at my invoice, I paid $50 to have the three shipped to me and never had to pay an extra fee.  Are you in the US?

Ya I'm in US

I was sent the "gimmemore" email, but until I read this thread today I had forgotten I had already paid for shipping from Big in Japan. I guess thats what they were banking on from their customers.

So now I've paid close to $50 to ship one set of TV fast packs. I'm not ordering from them again.

My Bandai DX hobby now has two online retailers off my list due to fast pack shenanigans (the other being NY as everyone else has experienced).

well I already paid them $50 up front to ship them on pre-order.  Didn't they ask you to pay another 3,000 yen on top of that 50 bucks?  That's what they asked of me.
