The problem with that analogy is that the nintendo switch while having limited editions, is a mass market item that eventually production will catch up with demand, while the Roy VF-1S is a limited item, which who knows when bandai is going to reissue. That said, I do agree that on release there will be a flood of them available. I mean look at hikkie’s VF-1S, its still available at some place even now and not for a lot more than msrp. So for those that absolutely need one, be paitient and wait till nov when its release, unless you are like me and only want one at msrp, then still wait till nov, some shop like amiami and hlj might have a few near to release as scalpers panic and cancel their orders due to lower than expected demand

Its in the house somewhere right? But I do agree they fall off pretty easily. Maybe use an empty hand vaccum with a see thru bin and hope you pick it up?
-
Come to think of it, its not unheard of that chinese scalpers can get quite a few humans to help them get stuff to scalp, examples being iphones and luxury brands. So I think you guys are right that some scalpers use many humans to help them make their purchase thus they have so many to sell.

I rather they annouced something different

I really am ok not having tv roy, I have rhe 1J and 1S andnot the 1A as I have no love for max’s color, the only reason I was even on yesterday was just to see how hard was it to get one to prep for when the YF-21 comes out, which is the one I really want. To me I have enough Roy stuff already in different scales and models. your case is different Jenius, if you are not buying those toys, how else are we all giing to get your great toy reviews to read
-
Excuse me??
-
But seeing that the yf-19 was released in 2018, maybe the yf-21 can be released in 2020? We still got dec slot for a release yet to be filled

I think its more the universe way to give you an easy pre order (which you totally deserve)since you are going thru so much in real life now, I was refreshing ami ami at that same time and saw the add to cart but when I did it says item no longer available. No biggy for me as I was pre ordering for fun as its not an item I wanted to begin with and if I can’t get it fir msrp, I won’t be getting it.
-
I don’t look forward to PO night for this fella if today is an indication of future POs unless its a TWE.
-
Ok, you ordered a Roy and they switched it with a hikaru?
-
Why would nin nin let you pay less when they can make you pay more right?
-
Wow, and here I thought Roy wasnt that popular in japan, or is it being sold out strictly to international markets?
-
I think nin nin is still open, but buyer beware, its their 6th of 7th round of marked up PO tonite
-
I don’t know where I got this but, I heard nin nin is french runned and so is NY, maybe they are connected?
-
Was nin nin one of the webshops that cancelled a bunch of vf-31A for thise that ordered them at the original price only to relist them at twice the price during the vf-31a fiasco?
-
You guys should just wait for it a week or 2 after release day, you can get it at better prices at places like fromjapan. Keep calm and carry on
-
glad you got one in
-
I found a HMR monster locall at usd $200 last night, too bad I also spend usd$200 last night on a lego star wars tantive iv kit....
-
Maybe nin-nin is buying from the scalpers to scalp to us? Thus when they exhaust a certain price point they move to the next?
-
Oh its popular, as it was sold out on release day, and i don’t think sentinel produced more legioss than bandai producing vfs, my bet is that they have less scalpers doing sentinel stuff due to price point. Most scaplers want low risk high return stuff, bandai stuff are generally cheaper than the competition thus attract a lot of scalpers and collectors willing to pay up to $100 more for a toy they could no get on PO night, thus its seems lucrative. Of course these are my own observations over the years of macross collecting.
-
For once they opened on time or slightly earlier, also they have not opened for the marked up price though. on a separate note, why can’t ordering a bandai dx be as easy as ordering a sentinel legioss, no pre order madness and po opened for days
-
Good thing is I did not pre order this as I was not really into Roy’s vf-1s, already have an arcadia one. Thebad thing is, if this is how preorders are going these days, how am I going to get the YF-21 when it opens for preorder, as that is the one I really want.
-
HLJ order stopped
-
Yeah these days even scalpers use cdjapan

Everybody drink!!
