    Thanks @technoblue - and congrats on your shipment! My order number is 4890xx so it would be intertesting to see how long it takes to get through 200 order numbers after @Sanity is Optional! :D

    The good thing is the within those 200 something orders are orders that aren’t the VF-31A too. So keep our fingers crossed

    When I went to its original taobao page, the listing is no longer available so just take note.

    Thanks for the heads up.

     

    my order was created 10-7 at 00:40:52... so I gotta be close in this queue right? PPPPLLEAASE?

    Thats funny, by right you should have had yours fulfilled 1st.

    Anyone contacted NY this month regarding their 31A orders? Seems that only 2 or 3 were shipped in May, and obviously nothing whatsoever regarding that BS May stock (that now has magically transformed into a June BS, and probably a July one after that..<_<). 

    Anyway, was just curious to see if their replies had changed since March.

    I didsend another enquiry and this time I got the same message about getting store credit as my payment was too old, which I replied that their store redit was worthless with all their BS caveats, and rather just wait for the toy if it ever comes

    I made the order on the 10th of October for one figure.

    The  back and forth was pretty lengthy but eventually a person from the chat support helped me to make sure the issue would be looked at.

    Honestly, i think it comes down to poor communication.

    If they would email people reassuring them that the figure would be shipped even at a later date, i feel people would be less frustrated.

    Wait what? You ordered on the 10th and getting your order shipped, so must all of us start make back and forths with NY to get our orders shipped too? I thought I was being paitent with them and I ordered on the 7th and still no news, just the ‘mid may’ news when I got someone from japan to call them. So I waited and then now i hear they shipped out someone’s elses piece whom order after me, NY is really in my never to use again list.

  5. be glad that you got your vf-31A in one piece, a lot of us are still waiting for our piece, the box is nice if perfect, but the toy inside it is nicer, the box only matters if you a)display the box with the toy or b)plan to resell it at some point in time.

    It looks like it’s going the way the 31a is going, HLJ is already sending out emails they may not be able to meet demand.  It smells like I’m going to have to trade one MISB 31a for a YF-19 at this point.

    I got 2 POs for the YF-19 too, I dun mind trading a MSIB 31a for one of mine

    damn i put in the order twice at HLJ, no confirmations...

    I did that with the VF-31S and I got both confirmation emails, I then proceed to cancel one as they have a 1 per customer rule. Just drop them a msg to let them know you will cancel the other one and you will be fine

  8. I bought 1 item from nin nin before, its a 30th anniversary YF-29 and it came though was a lil yellow in some parts

    Nin nin now says soon to be available

  9. Is it me or is this an exact same mold as the vf-19 advance, with split canopy n the other extras? Although if those missles do come with it, I don’t mind getting it as i love extra missles

  10. Same here, as long as the toy is in perfect condition, I don’t really care about the box condition. If i knew there would be issues getting my copy, I should have snatched that toy when the girl at tamashi showroom was replacing the mock up with a factory smaple back when I was in akihabara last novemember. Haha

    Are you seriously trying to argue that HG has nothing to do with the reason nothing Macross related has been released outside Japan since Plus?   How do you explain why we never got R1 releases of Zero, Frontier and Delta?  How about the lack of any re-release of Plus on BluRay?  You should probably study up on the mess of copyright claims and lawsuits involved with Macross before you get so dismissive.  What I said is hardly controversial.

    I am not being dismissive, but there is new evidence that HG might not have the rights to macross character depiction, just saying that, that is good news for the future for big west to start marketing stuff outside of japan. Relax, not saying you are wrong, just saying good things might be coming for the future of macross for fans outside of japan.

    That said, maybe its On big west being not interested in marketing these shows/merchandise outside of japan that is the cause of the lack of anything outside of japan than what HG is doing that is why we have lack of anything macross outside of japan.

    Let's not forget, this aspect is not entirely Bandai's fault.  The patent troll company known as HG has a huge part in why Bandai can't offer this stuff outside of Japan in the first place.

    It is definitely a crappy situation all around, made worse by poor communication by multiple parties in the supply chain.   Of course this has left all of us to try to come up with whatever theory we can to fill in the blanks and make sense of this absurdity.  The worst part is that even if we all get our orders, we'll probably never know the real truth of what happened.

    Last I heard HG never had the rights to the depiction of the characters to begin with as tatsumoto did not owned those rights. That said, even if they had the rights to the original macross, that has nothing to do with current macross and the new vf incarnations
