    True. And not trying to be argumentative. Just pointing out another potential factor. Those molds could be worn out. My guess is new molds cost them $50K+ minimum.

    There is a MASSIVE difference between the cost of prototype and the cost of gearing up for production.

    -Log into PayPal -Find the transaction. -Click on the Report A Problem link (it has a triangle next to it). -Fill out the form. You only need to tell them that you did not receive your item. That's it. Don't say anything more than that. I think you have the option at that point to escalate it. Do that. You don't need to give NY time to respond. Go straight for the jugular. They will start an investigation. If NY doesn't ship it and supply proof of delivery in I think it's 10 days (which was all know they won't) PayPal will automatically credit you the money. -NY will ban you from further purchases. I'm sure you will be heartbroken.

    Yep, that can put a business under.

    Thanks! I don't post in public groups. I posted in the private ones. IDK why people make any group public unless they're trying to sell something. Most people I run across don't post in public groups.

    NY was messin up pre COVID. A few on here like myself and @jenius have speculated that they're having cash flow issues (robbing Peter to pay Paul). Both of us have a pretty good background in seeing stuff like that going down. Generally the next step is going bankrupt. If you have orders in when that happens your chances of getting them filled are about zero. If I had NY orders I would be doing everything I can to cancel them and get money back. I saw this downward spiral of NY starting almost exactly a year ago and cut bait then. It was the right call IMO.

    I don't think that's how the flow of money works. I could be wrong though. At this point it's a non issue for me. I pay for everything with my card, which has no time limit.

    But doesn't the CC company give the money to PayPal then PayPal sends it to the merchant? So if it goes the other direction the CC company takes the money from PayPal then PayPal has to get the money from the merchant. Can PayPal still get the money from the merchant (per the merchant agreement)? Or does PayPal end up holding the bag? If they can get it from the merchant why the 180 day deadline on non delivered product claims?If it's infinite, why not just make the policy infinite too? I take what I hear from PayPal reps with a grain of salt. I at least double or triple check important things. I take in about $750K/yr through my business PayPal account. As I'm sure you can imagine I talk to them quite a bit about clarification. I'm constantly getting contradictory information. I have a entire file of screen shots, transcripts, etc related to "policy" questions in case I need to prove I was told XYZ in the future. Sort version, they're kind of a mess! Not trying to argue. Just looking for answers.

    I've always wondered what PayPal does when you charge them back (which this effectively is). I've never heard from someone who has done it.
  14. sqidd
    That leaves you 51 weeks before NY is considered "late". My advice, cut your losses and do a charge-back on them before the clock runs out (which is their plan/MO).

    There was technically only one Focker release in 1/55 "Chunky Monkey'". -Everything up until 1990 was a Hikaru Skull One. Hikaru pictured on the boxes. -In 1990 they did a re-tool and as far as I can tell it was not connected to a specific pilot so you could call it a Hikaru or a Focker. But, it has Supers, which is not cannon for Roy so by default it's more Hikaru than Focker. Arguably Hikaru only. -In 2001 Bandai released a Focker without Supers, which would be cannon and a real/accurate Focker. -In 2001 Bandai re-released a Skull One with Supers but the box says Hikaru on it, and it's Hikaru cannon. -I have the 2001 Bandai re-release listed in the line item directly above displayed in the Focker Army. One, because I had one to put there. And two, I think it looks cooler with the Supers (but not cannon). But I do have a couple of the 2001 Fockers I could put in there without Supers so I could make it cannon if I wanted to. I even have a "extra" custom Focker with Strike Parts (borrowed from the 1985 Hikaru release) that I could put in there that would be cannon. But it was never released that way. I'm not that picky when it comes to cannon in "The Army". But I could be if I wanted to. RT= Robotech. They're supposed to line up. I was Bandai'd along with some others on here including @treatment.

    I'm four for four on the wings not lining up when folded in Battroid mode.

    Pretty close to all of them (including Robotech). I had to call it "good" at a point though. I don't have ever release of every "shape". For example I don't have a Yamato 1/48 Weathering Edition. Just the regular 1/48. Same shape, different paint. I could technically have one more 1/55 Chunky Monkey, but tat would be kinda silly. The only difference is there was another release without Supers. On the RT side they released about a billion slightly different 1/100's. Getting all of those would be over the top. You are correct sir! Yep, the only ones I'm missing are: -Takatoku 1/44 standard release (I have the 1/44 Henkei). I've never seen one for sale. -Takatoku Sofubi (non scale). Only ever seen one for sale and it was beat to death/too much money. -Yamato 1/200 Variable Fighter Collection Series 2. I have only ever seen one for sale and it was the entire set for $350. I can wait for just the one I need for $25-30. -Wentoys 1/144 knock off of the Takatoku 1/144 (with the blue accents). I've never seen one for sale. -Macrase 1/144 knock off Takatoku 1/144. I've never seen one for sale. -Logi - Logitach 1/144 knock off Takatoku 1/144. I've never seen one for sale.
