Luckily it was something that was easy to find elsewhere. I would've lost my sh** if it was something like a DX valk. Let's not forget good old human incompetence, which is probably the reason for any item disappearance from warehouse. Or maybe an employee pilfered it.
-
It's just a human quirk to think that bad things only happen to other people. "I haven't had any issues so therefore no issues exist." Even HLJ has lost an item I had paid for and stored in PW... and that's only 60 days.

Do you live on Mars?

I've used AE plenty and have had zero issues but I don't want to discount the peeps that have had problems. Although I haven't used them recently because they've been jacking up the price of web exclusives and am glad I didn't have anything in their warehouse when Japan Post suspended service.

Gonna be a very long wait with the way things are going in the USA regarding its coronavirus response, or lack thereof. (I live in Texas and I would love nothing more than to see our useless POS governor and lt governor get COVID, but that's for another forum.) Also, I had heard from one or two peeps on here that they had kept things in AE's PW system for a long time (like over a year) and when they finally requested shipping, AE had lost the items in question. If anyone has more info or experience on this, we'd like to hear from you. But it's something to keep in mind if there's going to be a long delay before Japan Post resumes services to the USA.

Eaglemoss Star Trek Starship, BSG & other starships Collection
Lolicon replied to Sandman's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Nice score! I got the Viper Mk II awhile back and loved it. The only thing that I wish it had was an opening canopy and some cockpit detail, but for $55 I can't really complain for such a lovely and detailed bird. Now that I think about it, I haven't gotten an Eaglemoss ship in some time... time to start browsing. -
Wow! That does look good! Great job!

Here's hoping Arcadia releases more toys with this level of care and detail. Expensive, yes, but nothing Bandai has done comes close to the PF 0D.
-
Patience is a virtue. There will be more available. Don't pay these obscene scalper prices for something that's not even out yet.
-
LMAO man you really drank the NY kool-aid hard if you rank them over HLJ and Amiami in customer service.
-
If it's a sign of age, then I must be getting old too, because after not getting a Roy at the initial PO start, I refuse to pay any scalper prices and will just wait for release day or any shop that still has stock at or close to MSRP. If I don't find one in that price range, then oh well, I'll just have to live with all my 1/60s and abandon Bandai's 1/48 crap. As long as there are people willing to pay scalper prices, scalpers will scalp. It's mostly Bandai's fault for not producing enough to satisfy demand because of their fear of any item spending *gasp* a day on the shelf! Scalpers just see the opportunities that Bandai's business practices have created and are taking advantage of it.
-
I've only ordered a handful of times. They did cancel once on me for something I put down a deposit on, so I consider them as unreliable when it comes to high demand items.

If I was going to just get one release of the yellow 1S, it would be Roy's rather than Hikaru's. I already have Hikaru's TV 1J so I'd want Roy to have all the TV characters. Thanks! I'm much better today than I was yesterday. Just a headache and some minor aches and a cough. But I'm on quarantine for the time being so I'm just watching Youtube and checking for Roy POs.
-
Oh eff that. Jumping straight to selling at an inflated price. Thanks! My symptoms have been mild, fortunately, as I'm in good health and all. The first 24 hours of symptoms were the worst, though. I felt like Bruce Wayne after losing to Bane and being left in the pit. I'm way more concerned about getting a Roy PO at a non-scalper price than I am about my COVID situation.
-
Don't feed the scalpers! I don't care if they have a storefront or is just some jerk running his hustle from his basement. There will be more later. Even in a worst case scenario, you'll be able to get it off Mandarake for less than NY. And Mandarake won't take months to ship!
-
I wish. Been sleeping erratically since I developed what I believe are COVID symptoms Sunday night. Earlier testing appointment I could get is Thursday. Greatest country in the world, eh? Anyway, I'll just have to keep an eye here and hope I can catch an open PO.
-
Aw man, I went to sleep right before @F360 posted the CD Japan link.

NY: Scalpers with a Storefront
-
Despite NY's many, many problems, intentionally lying about "not receiving enough stock" and then canceling people's orders only to turn around and resell it at a huge mark-up is not one of them.
-
Asking for constructive criticism then ignoring it and digging in with a clearly wrong viewpoint? What did I say earlier about humans and facts? He knows it's wrong, but it's a made-up word, so who cares. Right Jen-nye-oos?
-
Only ordered the super parts with the expectation that there will be a Hikaru variant down the line. And if that never happens, I have my many, many Yamatos. As far as TV super parts go, I only want them for Hikaru's 1S, and Max & Miria's 1Js. I hope those come as a bundle because they're unit specific packs, but I wouldn't put it past Bandai to nickel and dime us on those too.
-
My friends and I were just having a discussion on how facts rarely change anyone's mind, and people only bother "thinking" in order to justify their pre-conceived conclusions. Also, all words are made up.
-
Bandai wants to make it as hard as possible to buy their Macross stuff so you'll give up in exasperation and just buy a nice RX-78-2 instead.

Just switch your VPN location to Japan.

I've bought from them before. No problems so far, though I haven't bought much from them yet.
