My impression is that NY WAY over sells their PO's at scalper rates knowing they don't have the allocation from Bandai to cover those sales. They then count on being able to source units from people, other shops, other scalpers, etc to fill those orders and in turn making that margin. And from what I understand they almost always come though.....eventually. The problem for me was there was no way they were going to fill my order before my 6mo recourse period with PayPal expired. And there is no way I'm letting my buyer protection lapse. I will have lost all ability to exert pressure. In the meantime I could have not placed that order with NY and just waited for the release. paid a lower rate, and gotten units much, much faster. I understand the way they do things and why. I'm not interested in being a part of their system though now that I see how it works first hand.

I haven't been in the game long. But it's been long enough to know I don't want to deal with NY. I'm done with them too. -
I did.

Pretty much true of the internet in general. Everything is multiplied. That said, I'll wait for your video to transform mine.

Cancel your order and buy elsewhere. My $.02. BTW, I picked five up for less than NY charged me. I have one in hand, two more Wednesday and two more Friday.
-
Mine was 727XXX It's now canceled. They never should have taken my money.

Lazy goofballs around here just throw them in mailbox down by the curb.
-
That looks great! I'm way too lazy, blind and hammer handed to do that.
-
Yeah, then add $40-50 for shipping.

They probably never came to the door. I've caught one of my sub drivers doing that. I knew I had a package coming. They stopped at the mailbox.....then drove by the house. I live in a court. I walked across the court to my neighbors mailbox and waited for the truck. The driver was so intent on covering her tail that she tried lying to me and saying that the box wasn't in there (forgetting she left a pink slip in the mailbox). I literally pointed to the package and said "It's that one right there". She gave it to me. No apology. I didn't think it was worth my time balling her out. She's so far gone a talking to isn't going to change anything. I had a package delivered by the woman who is in charge of the complaints that some through the PO today. No particular reason, she was just filling in by delivering just packages. I have a couple of signs out front for delivery drivers. She was shaking her head about it being necessary. We talked about how bad the employees are up there and how it's about impossible to fire someone.

That box is bonkers. Is Optimus Prime actually in there? -
Equestrian mech?

It's "champing" at the bit. Yes, it's painful being this pedantic.

All I need to know is that in December strike packs will be released. I don't care if I have to pay scalper pricing, I'm getting a set for each one of my DX's as soon as their available.

Yikes. And that is sort of the problem with this small stuff. The shipping is a huge percentage of the item cost. I try and get as much as I can at once when I make orders to keep the per unit shipping cost down. I'll wager when these are released you can get them for almost this exact price by choosing a retailer with more reasonable shipping. Like AmazonJP. -
I have someone in JP that can help as a backup.
-
So no strike parts at all until April? I thought there was a December release????

Just woke up too go to the bathroom. Figured I would give it a shot. Looks like I missed the party. I'll pick one up on release day I suppose. -
Thanks for the Messer pic! Is that VF-1J Max a original Hi Metal?
-
Because that would have been the last episode. All bad guys dead. Day won.
-
Is there are a VF-1S Roy release sans Strike Packs? The Roy in this shot looks very white compared to my "grey" ones.
