    If so, it's a sign of the end times. Might as well max out the AmEx and buy a case if it happens.
  2. Radioguy
    Yeah, I mentioned it in the Ostritch thread. Seems pulled. Having said that, they did the same with the Hikaru Mechanic Edition and then put it back up under a different url.
  3. Radioguy
    That the lowest price so far?
  4. Radioguy
    Looks pulled down now.

    Nin-Nin is US$299.81 shipped to the USA for those yanks who wonder what the total would be.
  6. Radioguy
    As I posted above, ordered twice, and both arrived in boxes; not shippers. Didn't need to ask. Again, maybe I am lucky. Maybe I won't be this time.
  7. Radioguy
    I swear their listed price increased since an hour ago.

    Ordered twice before, and both times arrived safely. The DX VF-1D didn't have a lot of bubble, but enough. The VF-1S Mechanic Edt. had more, but the outer box looked repurposed a bit. Still arrived in immaculate shape.

    yoyakunow has it again, actually.
  10. Radioguy
    100 pages, and still no one has had a stroke while ordering yet?
  11. Radioguy
    I don't have the finances to order at more than one place, so fingers crossed I get the one I ordered. 🫰*gulp*

    Actually went with LP again (I feel like I'm playing Russian roulette every time, but I seem to keep winning). Damn this PO happening so fast after the last. I really wasn't prepared, and might have tried Yoyakunow. I really hope I don't regret this...
  13. Radioguy
    Yay!

    I'd expect KC to be more adventurous than Bandai on that, but I'd love it. I usually always go for a transparent version of a model if it becomes available.

    That's what I always say. When you deal with retailers like Amazon, and (for other mainstream toys like Transformers, etc) Target, Walmart, etc, there's always a variety of discounts that can be applied either via coupons, cashback sites, credit card offers, giftcard offers, and, sometimes, pricematching. Sadly, Macross has yet to have the same foothold in US retail to make the most of it, but several of these options work for Amazon at least and lessen the pain to one's wallet.

    I love those colors. Tempting.

    If and when buying on Amazon, always check these links (if you have the relevant card). They aren't always active with a discount offer, but often are. https://www.amazon.com/chaseoffer https://www.amazon.com/discoveroffer https://www.amazon.com/amexoffer

    How good has the demand been for the Mechanic Edt. so far? Overwhelming, good, middling, etc? I'm curious if the demand is strong enough so far for them to run off more than just a bigger run, but alternate liveries (Roy, Max, Millia, Hayao, etc) before we get a new model like the VT-1.

    Ugh. I'm not premium on Pulse, so I expect missing out. Might have a chance on EE, I suppose. I'm fine with the initial purpose, but, seeing recent the G1 Hound WM reissue, I fear that last bit sounds likely. Well, I wasn't such a cardholder then. Have been since, and at a time when both he and Leadfoot still had pages and periodic stock appearing. When I got an order in in time, they were always cancelled. Corporate speech calls that "flex". Flexing stock into spots for other items (so no empty shelves appear) often seems the most important thing in the minds of Target employees these days. Plenty. Just that flexing in effect again. Before, it was on the Leader shelf, but now it's the pegs. Thing is, I can see that leading to more complaints from buyers saying they saw different prices when they picked an item. Flexing a shelf seems more defensible than intentionally stocking a peg you don't change a price tag on, but it happens all the time. I'd seen a MP shelf tag a handful of times at a couple local "big" (medium) sized stores, but they only put them up when they get a few pieces, and pull it when OOS, and I always seem to get there in-between. Oh, and I've recently noticed a couple of those locals that had a collectibles section where MPs and other things like SHMA, NECA, or Gundam kits would be have gotten rid of the signs and flexed in electronics overstock. Very worrying. Here I was hoping we'd get HMR or DX in those spots one day.

    My primary store had oddly dropped Core, Deluxe, and Voyager class from the planogram, and finally stocked Leader class (always had a tag, but never stocked). Given how many less Leaders there are, I can't say I'm happy overall. If I had a car and hit all local stores weekly (not happening), I'd still probably end up with 60% of a years Target TF offerings, and probably still no MPs.
  21. Radioguy
    But, still a Target 4-pk, yeah? Thrust, Redwing, Leadfoot...all were hard for me (Still don't have Leadfoot) despite their Target exclusivity. What sucks most is that I am in NYC which is filled with Targets (predominantly small to medium format stores), yet often don't see any of these pop up locally compared to a heartland store where they might sit until being clearanced out. It's infuriatiing, but not as bad as dealing with Walmart who don't even have one store here.

    I sound impossible to please, but I really would prefer the 1J head. GBP armor, as was available with the Yammie, would be great too. I always picture the grey low-vis in that fighting amongst skyscrapers.
  23. Radioguy
    There's a Sparks store?
  24. Radioguy
    Well, I did grab one from *gulp* LP, and it arrived in immaculate condition.
  25. Radioguy
    Looks like someone tried to clean them with acetone.
