Nothing yet, return was submitted on 10/15/21, current status is "Waiting for confirmation" whatever that means. If they don´t reply in the next couple of days I will start submitting daily tickets.

I received a couple of Arnored VF-1Js from Okiniland and one of them is broken 😪 Have you had a similar experience with Okini? I'm going to fill a RMA and see what happens, hopefully I'm able to return it and get a new one since they have stock at the moment of writing this. Any advice?

Armored Parts Set is easy to get below MSRP at YJA, there are a lot of items finishing below MSRP. https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/closedsearch/closedsearch?auccat=&tab_ex=commerce&ei=utf-8&aq=-1&oq=&sc_i=&exflg=&p=DX+VF-1J&x=0&y=0 Edit: MSRP was 13,200 yen including tax (12,000 no tax) https://tamashii.jp/item/13637/

One brand new VF-1J was sold for 34,035 yen in YJA. If they have a low starting price I think that´s how the market will behave in YJA. Mandarake will probably keep same prices, the 34,000 yen one was a used item with some details. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u1008095237 One used for 27,500 yen https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r1008542449

Hobby Genki got stock of the Armored Parts Set -> 13,990 yen https://hobby-genki.com/en/dx-chogokin/1152-dx-chogokin-compatible-armored-parts-set-for-vf-1j-macross.html

I had an order for the armor set 1st batch, it arrived the 27th Japan time to Dejapan warehouse, they shipped today to my EMS, hopefully you will have same experience as me.

I got shipped an Armor Set by Okiniland last saturday by EMS.

Did you asked to buy the item from a store or Yahoo Japan Auctions? I have used DeJapan a LOT with an excellent experience. I got from DeJapan my 1Ds (2 orders) and my Super Parts TV Edition directly from Tamashii Store when the preorders opened, no problems, goods arrived to warehouse in a few days after release date. I have also used them a LOT to get items form YJA. What I liked from them is that they were willing to undervalue shipments to avoid customs in my country but they don't do that anymore so that's why I'm no longer using them as before. I have a couple of VF-1J Armored sets ordered with them and I expect no problems when the release date comes, they actually created additional accounts to be able to order them. When an item is out of stock they let me know in a few days and the refund is done automatically to my PayPal account, I always use PayPal with them and they normally get back to me after 2 days for any question.

Hobby-Genki delivered my 1Ds with no problem. I also found weird no one mentioned them for this PO.

I got 1 package of 1Ds shipped from DeJapan before the holydays and I´m waiting for another one that I did pay last week, at least I was able to get one shipped before holydays, that one is already on customs on my country so I should be able to get them in a few days.

FYI I just received an email that my 1Ds arrived to Neokyo warehouse

I got an ETA of August 4th from Neokyo to receive my 1Ds on the warehouse, they sent me an email on July 20th with that info. An operator reviewed your order status #XXXXXX (DX Chogokin VF-1D Valkyrie & Fun Racer). A new estimated time of arrival at the warehouse has been issued. After investigating the order status, our team issued the following new ETA : 4 Aug, 2021. We wish to emphasise that despite this delay, the order cancellation is not possible at this point. We sincerely apologise for this disturbance beyond our control.

Info on PO has already been released

Sorry but all of them already have an owner waiting for them

DeJapan charged this to me for 6 x 1D ・International Delivery Fee　：22,500 JPY ・Domestic Delivery Fee　：660 JPY ・Storage Extension Fee　：0 JPY ・Consolidation Fee　：100 JPY That looks better than 9400 JPY for 1

Some over priced Fan Racer here https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e530464690

Same here

Jungle has one available for 34,100 yen + 5% + shipping. It is a B item bust most of the times items look like new when no details are listed. https://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/products/detail/601080 Edit: Gone!

Reservations have ended yesterday, let´s just wait for July´s release. https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000152176/
