Can somebody make an animated GIF of the 1st episode of MacF where those VF-171's all launch missiles (preorders) at the varja and the varja just release those counter measure nets (server errors) all over? 

that's prolly the best visualization of tonight's PO madness

Vajra... Like Max PO... it's so elusive.

why don't they just put up a preorder window of a few months like some companies do, and take everyone's preorder and Bandai has the exact numbers to manufacture?  They'd get more sales, and not lose customers to competing products.  I stopped on the vf25 and vf31 cuz of this preorder madness.  

They don't get more sales that way. In order to meet this kind of demand is ask everyone to pay upfront. Because, the risk of Bandai here is that they make a lot to meet the demands of preorder, but after a few months, people starts to cancel. What's going to happen? Everything will be put on sale. So at this point, not sure if pay upfront (kind of made-to-order) is the solution for all this preorder madness.

I have one hour and 15 minutes left to sleep!

Go to sleep, Ignnacio. Or have a sip of brandy or something while waiting for the sun to rise.

Just now, Shizuka the Cat said:

FYI, I am continuing to watch AmazonJP, AmiAmi, HLJ, NY, CDJ. Anime-Export, MyKombini, Nin-Nin, and BandaiOnline.

Go to bed, Shizuka-chan. Don't stay too late to compile links.

Just now, Lolicon said:

FYI Bandai PO night mid-checkout is not the optimal time to be making changes to your account information. 

Agreed. Or change the currency rate during checkout.

Yellow really needs an articulated hair.

For some reason, I think it's going up for PO tomorrow night... maybe I'm wrong though.

Perhaps, in awhile?

Now you're giving me excuse not to sleep. Hahaha!

Anyways, good luck later on guys. Can't imagine the PO is going to be like on Kakizaki's.

See you guys tomorrow. Good night!

18,450 yen  @ AmiAmi  https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-047859

At this point, I think it would be nice to remove the warning on Nin-Nin. I have an order of VF-4 with them and they got delivered a few days after. And knowing that stuff keeps on getting happening across the sites during PO madness, even on the most reputable ones, I think it's just fair. Besides, members didn't had a problem placing an order with them earlier so who knows?

After I got to the payment page at HLJ, it cancelled my order. Sorry again, @davidwhangchoi.

Can't check out t CDJ.

Closed now on AmiAmi. Sorry, @davidwhangchoi.

Will try, David. I will let you know after I succesfully got a confirmation email to which ever store.

Is peer pressure not strong enough to "make" you get one?

Actually, I’m not sure why I’m still up. Hahaha!

But I’m glad I did because I saw Jenius post in the Mospeada thread of new photos of the upcoming Sentinel’s Yellow Ride Armor. What a lovely.  Will probably focus more my budget on that one.  

20 minutes ago, jenius said:

Did they actually make Yellow taller?

He’s 22. Why not?

Nice to see new photos. Getting excited now.

Good night guys! Good luck on the PO tonight.

DX Chogokin VF-1A Valkyrie (Maximilian Jenius Use) (Completed) preorders will start after PM4:00 of 8th April, Japan time[GMT+9]

Funny to read something in the description on that HS link. We’ve been blaming Bandai the whole time for those overkill tampo prints. When in fact we should pin it to one person. 

Quote

-Following the release of [VF-1J (Ichijo Kiki)] released at the end of 2018, release of [VF-1A] driven by genius Maximilian Genus is decided!
-Newly shaped head of type A, and vividly reproduce the personal color blue.
-Marking is done by Macross visual artist Hideki Tenjin.
-VF-1A Valkyrie (Maximilian Genas machine) flies with detail and gimmick unique to the scale of 1/48 scale!

Some sample pics...mostly a little who's who and what's what for the SDFM TV show!  Not familiar with the 3 other shows represented in the mini book....

Nice Terebikun book, JVM.

Here’s the other 3 shows. Clockwise: Uchuu Keiji Sharivan, Pa-Man (Perman), Kagaku Sentai Dynaman.

I’m still debating on this. I’m real picky about owning multiple Valks in the same scale. I planned on only getting Hikaru Valks but these pictures are killing me lol. Someone tell me I don’t need it haha

We don't need it.

Anyone know if there are any more available and what is the best price?

 

Thanks

Mandarake has it from Y26000 to Y28000. Nippon-Yasan has it for Y31500. But those without shipping yet. So more or less you will play safe within the budget from $250 to $300.

These were the posts after the one you quoted.

Damn sweet @Lolicon the extra decals really help.  Did you use a matte overcoat or is it satin?

On 4/3/2019 at 6:19 PM, Lolicon said:

Satin coat. Flat coats look nice but I always end up regretting it because they scuff so much more easily and visibly.

I might become a victim of peer pressure for Sunday's DX Max.

Ugh, may end up skipping seeing this movie in the theater because of it's length. I don't think my bladder would survive Seriously, movies over two and a half hours long should have an intermission just like they did in the old days.
