Good for you. Just got a BS message from Nin-nin saying due to Christmas and Covid my VF-1S preparation is delayed. Now I'm wondering if I'll even get it before Christmas. I live in SG so there's no reason they can't send it over in 2 weeks unless they are delaying.

I got mine from Nin Nin last Tuesday, hope you get yours soon. Am from sg too.

Prices are dropping for Roy, 24000yen now at Buyee excluding shipping.

Just did a transformation for my Roy, you can actually extend the neck of the head in battroid mode now? Don't remember I was able to do that for the Hikaru's 1S.

NinNin just sent me an email: "Dear Customer We are contacting you regarding your order. Unfortunately due to the size of your package, we have to ask additional shipping fee."

This is in regards to my first wave Roy order that was priced at $170. They are now asking for an additional $18 on top of the shipping I already paid.

My Roy ordered at a later time at $275 (also from NinNin) was shipped last week with the same shipping method and is arriving on Wednesday.  

I'm left a little confused.

No freaking idea how they operate. I am from the 1st batch at Nin Nin and I paid 2700yen for EMS to Singapore. Seems low for the shipping (Ami Ami charged me 4000yen) but they shipped it out anyway.

FYI, Nin Nin just updated that my order is shipped. Using EMS and from the 1st batch @ 17,820yen.

For those interested, there's are over 100 Roy listing in Buyee with the cheapest buyout price of 25,500yen.

NNG has replied to my ticket. I asked if I needed to upgrade from EMS to UPS/DHL. They said they should upgrade it automatically and will let me know when it ships.

I am happy to see that quite a few others have already received tracking info from them. Fingers crossed I will get a tracking number on Monday. 

I got no tracking too, preparing in progress since 3:53pm Japan time.

I’m been monitoring the major retailers for orders opening up again and the only one that has recently is CDJ. It was open for approx 20 mins, but sadly it was 1:48AM AEST and I was asleep. 

Hobby search opened up too, added to cart but was cart jacked at the last step yesterday.

Got preparation in progress for my Roy@17,820yen with EMS at Nin Nin. Seems that majority of the 1st batch orders were been fulfilled.

Not long after I posted my last comment with my purchase info, my shipping notification from NNG showed up, too!

I am pleasantly surprised. Now that two of us from the first round of POs have shipping info, here's hoping they come through on everyone else's orders.

That's great to hear. Not for me thou lol, maybe any moment now. Using EMS.

I’m in the first batch as well with NNG’s Roy preorder as well, but would probably wait a bit more than a week before escalating things with them. 

They have delivered my prior orders and I am cautiously optimistic that they will come through. 

Here’s a suggestion: how about all of us NNG buyers keep track of when/how much our preorders were, and let others know once we have shipment updates so at least we all know if they had systematically fulfilled the pricier orders before the cheaper ones. That “evidence” would probably help our case more than spam emails asking “where’s my stuff”?

Rdrunner:  1x Roy DX @ 17,820 yen ordered on July 3

Cool, maybe we can consolidate in a list. Here's mine:

Tenbatsu: 1 x Roy @ 17,820yen ordered on July 3

So it sounds like $300 was the initial cutoff to hear about an order from NNG. Any bets on the next cutoff? $275?

Definitely not us from the 1st batch, guess we are screwed. 

Here's the email of the co-founder, we can spam him if they never ship by next week:

Hobby search did opened for a brief moment just now, you never know.

Same here mate. I see that you’ve also asked the same question as me. Anxiously waiting to see if NNG will really honor our POs at this price. 

Me too using EMS. Will post update if there's any, hopefully....

Got the email at 8:10. Hope you get your confirmation soon. 

May I ask the price you got your Roy for?
