And they left off N.E.T.F.C. too!!!

Sorry for my ignorance but what's N.E.T.F.C. stands for again? Because I don't want those bold letters to be honest in the DX YF-19.

Hey, you might want to check out the plan B you referenced.

I'm tempted for a second one. Hehehe.

People not able to get a pre-order (at a decent cost) for the DX YF-19 and many other Bandai DX Valkyries. 

And the economics and theorized business practices related to that subject.

I see. I guess it's not a wonder now why I failed my economics class even though it's not my major. 

Ok, I got lost. What are we talking about now? Is it still the DX YF-19? 

All I can say is... WOW! 

Easy pass. I rather save for SV-51 than re-purchase what I already have with their Premium Finish announcements and releases. PF SDF-1 is just fine with me since I didn't own one before.

Not to mention the fact that having an UNDO function cheapens life and lessens the impact that the death of a character is supposed to have on the audience. 

This is what I've felt too when some of the characters died. I was sad for a little bit but I was like, meh, they will be back for sure. They killed the wrong characters, who everyone knows they have their own movie sequels to begin with.  

But overall, I love it.

Hulkbuster version 2 looks cool but after watching the movie I prefer version 1 over version 2.

I've seen the movie over the weekend. And for some reason, I felt the same way as you.

Yeah, the Mk2 felt more obligatory in this movie, not as awe inducing.  The Mk1 in Ultron was certainly more of a showcase event.

That said, not having a Mk1 at all makes me still kinda want to get the Mk2... decisions...

Yeah. Decisions. Decisions. Kind of want to have another one. But this is a pay now preorder so I'm having second thoughts on it. If I don't have the V1, I'll probably get it. But it's $40 more expensive than the V1, shipping included. Argh. Decisions. Decisions.

Looking nice.  

For those who are still insterested with 31J Kai. Y28000 at Mandarake.

#11983205 here. Order not cancelled yet. I hope.

WOW!  With all the Macross toys released by Yamato, Arcadia, Bandai, etc... I have no idea how someone can possibly keep up with Macross toys, yet alone collect from other franchises like Gundam, Star Wars, Star Trek, and so on.

The collections some of you guys amass truly amazes me.

And it's not just that. Most of the guys here, me included, are married and with kids. So it's a question for me how can we sustain this craziness.

Really dig the moodiness of this one. I feel like you should do silhouette shots for random Valkyries too. 

-b.

Hmmm. Like a sunset Valkyrie silhouette on a carrier deck you mean? That would be awesome for sure from Saburo. Right, B? 

By the way, great photos, @Saburo!  

Anyone else got a cancellation email from HLJ?

I am amused that the Lucky Star valks are my entryway into Macross Frontier toys. LOL

Next thing you know, SDF Macross and Macross Frontier toys will be your entryway to all Macross collectibles from here on now.

Wow. Now I’m scared. 

Next thing we know we’re also going to tally this situation on who’s who got being axed on their PO. Hope it’s not that serious.

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.

If HLJ will not cancel my PO, I’ll probably trade that with you.

Thanks guys. I knew it would go eventually given the demand for it. Just hope everyone still waiting on theirs gets them sooner rather than later. Yes that's it, I'm just waiting on more stock for the yf-19 now. Quick question regarding general release. Does that mean they release more compared to the exclusives? Or are the stock amounts similar in availability? This is technically my third pre order "event" so still not sure on certain things. 

Congrats on the sale. That means you can’t trade it now for my YF-19.

As for your question. TWE items have limited numbers of production. Kind of like made to order situation or depends on what number Bandai produces. General release still have numbers but more than TWE. But due to recent emails that members getting, looks like Bandai’s limiting the number/qantity now as per HLJ claims.

Can anyone elaborate on this "Valkyrie Project" line?  I know it was introduced at last Tamashii Nations, and that the YF-19 and "1/48ish" vf-1 are supposedly a part of it?  Does anyone have any more info beyond that?  

It seems like this sub-brand came out of no where, and it doesn't seem to have a set scale, I'm just wondering what it is about.

Nobody is certain on what the said event is. All we know is just a part of the 35th Anniversary celebration. Beyond that most people doesn’t have a clue. And besides Bandai doesn’t reveal too much. So we just wait and see.

Got one of those for my Aile Strike as well.

Thankfully not for my YF-19 though, so there's that. Still glad I put in multiple pre-orders just in-case.

What time did you guys received that email? And what time you guys placed your orders if ever?

Ouch looks like I might miss out on this one.

Update from HLJ, looks like it might be a repeat of the Kairos.

 

Hello,

 

Thank you for your recent order with HobbyLink Japan.

 

Unfortunately, due to a server slow-down caused by extremely heavy, concentrated traffic on our site yesterday, we received more orders of the limited BANN55061 DX Chogokin YF-19 Full Set Pack than we expect to be able to fulfill, despite having set limits on the number of total orders, and number of pieces individual customers were permitted to request.

 

As Bandai is intentionally limiting supply of the DX Chogokin YF-19 Full Set Pack, it has now been marked as "Order Stop", and we are currently assessing the situation, but at this time there is a strong possibility we will not be able to fulfill your order.  Any orders which will not be able to be filled will be cancelled shortly, and the affected customers notified. 

 

We hope this notification allows you time to also seek the item elsewhere.

 

Please accept our apologies for the unfortunate news and inconvenience to you. We appreciate your understanding, and your business with us.

Sorry to hear that. What time did you received this email? And can you remember what time you put your preorder in?

I know some members including me tried to order multiple times, twice for me, since we didn’t receive any confirmation email in the beginning. But after I got my emails and saw the duplicate orders in my account page, I immediately cancelled those. Maybe some haven’t removed it yet?

I wonder. Is this the first time HLJ emailed something like this? Usually when it goes to Order Stop it meant the allocated numbers they have got filled up, correct? I wonder, why the email? If Bandai limits the number now, how about the other stores?

I've taken this dash graphics insert as far as I care to for the time being.  I'll likely play with it some more in the future as inspiration strikes, but for now, here's what I have so far in EPS and PDF formats.

Enjoy!
