I pre-ordered mine 11/16/2017.  I emailed NY and noted that their page for the item still reflects the March release date even though we are half way through April.  NY responded with, "We are sorry for the delay, we didn't receive all of our stocks for this item.  Your order will be sent as soon as possible." I am interpreting this as either they really did not get all their stocks, or as many are suggesting, they are fishing to fill the orders with second hand.  I have bought a few of these valks from NY.  Some have the brown box and some do not, but all seem MIB.

What messages are other receiving from NY when they inquire?

I got someone from japan to call them and they said they "think" it will be fulfilled in "mid-may"

Anyway, a brand new day it is, lets see who is the lucky lotto winners today, may the odds be ever in your favor

The only good thing that came out of this debacle is that I somehow managed to secure a MIB VF-31J kai at 28k, a valk that due to the lottery system was resigned to not have. As luck may have it, i saw it searching for the VF-31A

And as everyone else was distracted with the price soar on the VF-31A, the J kai wasrelatively unnoticed

Oh well its the end of yet another day and we have 3 lucky winners today, lets hope that the odds may ever favor you tomorrow

Well at least they are back to order number now, I hope mine is coming soon.

Its the start of a brand new week, lets see whom is lucky enough this week to win the NY lottery!!!!!

Mine is a single at order #489078 I hope it will be the winning number for next week's VF-31A lottery from NY

That said, NY stop emailing me about the arbalest, I am not going to give you anymore of my monies!!!

Got an email from NY, thought it was going to be good news, turns out that the metal build arbalest I was watching was available again, but no way in hell I was going to pre-order anything from NY again

Sorry, the one on proxy cancelled on me, what I managed to get on proxy is a VF-31J kai not a VF-31A, still waiting on my VF-31A form NY, mine is also 300+ orders away from HayateAltoHunter

Seems like only I got the mid may response, haha

As for the batches theory, as this is a TWE and not a regular release, do you think the same rules apply for this and the Quant? Just curious

Al in all I just want my toy, it would suck to just get a useless store credit refund (with its many absurd rules that come with it), if that happens, it will be time for me to call the credit card company and explain the situation and hope to get my money back.

At this point, If I get the toy in perfect condition, I don't really care for the condition of the box, haha

Errr I just received my vf-31a from NY but it was not in the brown shipper box. 

If I'm not mistaken isn't it suppose to be in one?

Be thankful you got one?

but honestly, do check if the unit is all there and ok.

Hey Guys

Where can i pick up a 31j kai for a good price...the one over at the jungle is gone

I got mine on yahoo auctions, 28K, you need a proxy like fromjapan though

Hmmmmm, I was wondering this, did any pf you whom got their’s shipped by NY ever cancelled an order before for whatevr reason? I was looking at my order history and noticed I did cancel 2 orders from them but I did so on the same day that I ordered as some months I could not afford a toy thus I cancelled. 

It got me thinking if they only shipped to customers that had never cancelled an order before 1st thus skipping some whom ordered on the 6th. Just a theory

Well he says bandai, so.....fingers crossed?

Wanted to get my funds refunded form noppin and I thought I go look see what yahoo auctions had since I had 42K sitting in it, found a VF-31J kai for 28K and got that instead, its not really something I thought i would get but since I did not have that valk much as well. At that price I think it was an ok buy. Lets hope that NY's shipment really got delayed by bandai like that other scalper that got his only on the 13th of April and let the good news roll in.

Update: My wife got her counterpart in Japan to contact NY regarding the issue and the person that corresponded is non japanese speaking and stated that they think they will get their shipment in Mid May from Bandai. I guess we all have to wait till then for our stock.

Sorry about losing the bid. Looking at the auction description Google Translated into English, I got this from a part of it:

"After bidding successfully, please bid only for those who can make a smooth payment procedure within the day. If there is no procedure such as payment after the next day, we will delete the transaction with the highest bidder convenience"

Maybe that was the seller's reason for cancelling your auction?

Regarding buy it now auctions, I thought that's what Prompt Decision price is for? The auction ends because the seller is expecting the bidder to pay with available funds promptly.  I didn't know some proxies have a delay for payment. I'm not familiar with how Noppin works regarding fund availability as I use FromJapan, which makes me deposit funds prior to bidding.

If They cancelled it after a day I have no problems with it, but this idiot cancelled it within a few hours of the bid being won, he didnt even wait a day. Proxies take a while to pay, as they have to verify they received the funds that I deposited,anyway these idiots were just impaitient, nothing more nothing less

An update on my auction fiasco, seller says I did not pay immediately, and thus cancel it and reauctioned it, this idiot couldnt even wait one day for the fund s to get to him? It takes around 24hrs for noppin to make the payment, he cancelled it in less than that time. i have instructed the proxy to leave negative feebaclk about the seller.

Again I must stress, what the frak is wrong with the current generation of Japanese, it seems that they have now a culture of honourless and impaitient brats. 

As i said i will just take it as a sign that the universe does not want me to spend more money than I should on this toy.

Thanks a lot F360 for the heads up, will discuss with the wife about using FromJapan

Yup, same butmy wife handles all the noppin stuff as she has very good experience using it. 

I guess I am spent jumping through hoops to get this VF, if NY doesnt come through, then I have to live without this, although I have most of the delta valks aside from the Kai and all the vf-25 variants and yf-29 and 30 and even a yf-19 advance. Sad that this is one of the valks that I really wanted but just for some reason might not have.

Wtf, I bidded for it and the auction closed after I did, and usually after we bid for a buy it now, it won’t update me until the next morning, Am using noppin to get the auctions, all i know is this seller cancelled after I bidded for it and reopened it? If that is the case this guy really frakked me up, here is proof that it closed after i bidded for it

That said, I hope charles is correct on the late delivery from bandai and I hope NY gets their stock on monday and start shipping our 31As next week.
