I hear you there. The Sazabi is my last big thing. And I'm pretty much out of room anyway. I may substitute some stuff in my collection if better stuff comes out. But for the most part I'm done. I haven't gotten any Macross stuff in a quite a while.

And I just got a GT500 which is sucking up a ton of money for modifications. Different toy hobby.

Yeah they are treating us like crap so it my might be time to end this we never had to go through with this when yamato was making stuff,

I think you would be suppressed how many toy collectors can afford $2000-3000 toys. What I don't think you see is them interacting on social media much so it seems like they're not out there. I think you would be surprised how many GT500, Z06, etc buyers also have toys. In a lot of ways they fill the same "hole".

Playing Devil's advocate here...

Bandai is doing exactly what they need to do from a business standpoint. They have super high demand for their products. Who are we to say that they're "doing it wrong"? They're the third largest toy company in the world. Seems like they have it figured out.

Taking off my Devil hat....

Yeah, I think it's a bunch of crap the way Bandai does their stuff. They're not really doing anything to dissuade scalpers. And they could. In the case of the Sazabi they should have produced at least as many as they did the NU (at 3000 pieces they may not have been able to though). And it really would have built some customer loyalty to offer them up to people that have the NU first. And only after all of those people were satisfied put them on general sale. From a customer satisfaction standpoint Bandai is actually quite horrible. Stupid PO's, very limited quantities, no protection against scalpers, they don't seem capable of finishing a line of anything, etc, etc, etc. If they changed all of that stuff maybe they could battle for the number one toy company spot.

Yeah from a business stand point I get it but this reminds me of the whole hot toys exclusive that were sold at toy fairs . They would show pics of grammas waiting inline to get this stuff for the scalpers later flip it online. Hot toys changed what they offer as exclusives and the issue went away.

Yeah why have some customer loyalty program buybdireclty from them through bandi drop a big deposit who cares reserve you figure only make what people preorder direty from them. I have the nu gundam it's my favorite gundam and bought that at retail it was available in 3 stores relatively  easy and now I am considering sell it since I can't match it up with it mate unless I shell out 4,000.

And speaking of not finishing a product line were is my tv kenzaki I want to finish my squad. They are a joke . I am about fed up with staying up to 3 am on preorder days and get nothing . Never had to deal with this crap when yamato and Arcadia made stuff now we will never be able to get anything here in the us unless it a p bandi stuff. Even thrbnu gundam was sold on p bandi here in the us and I emailed them will you offer the sazabi they said they did not know and now we have to deal with scalpers. Time to find a new hobby

There are plenty of people that can and will pay $3000-4000 for one of these.

Look at the state of the car market. People are paying missive dealer markups on GT500's, Z06's, Raptor R's, Porsche 911 GT3's, Bronco's, etc, etc, etc. The 911's sell for $100K over retail all day long. There is always going to be someone with enough money.

I don't know about you but when I sell a toy I research the average "street value" and start there. If street value is outrageous (everyone's definition of that word will be different), I guess I sell it for an outrageous amount. Market value is market value. Selling it for less would be stupid.

They will sell every unit they have. 

Money is  no object for some people but I dont think the toy collectable market is on par with exotic cars .In the end it's all subjective to what you value. I recall rolexes were selling out during pandemic because of they were using them as a store of value and now prices have dropped to what they were before covid 

Hey more power to you can sell it at an outrageous amount of I see a metal sazabi for 7,000 on ebay dude thinks he can flip it for that the go for it .  Average price is between 3000 and 4000 and he has got 4 units for sale and who here wants to promote scalpers,  nobody. 

I guess what is upsetting me is Bandi in general this thing is popular and they tease it for years and when they offer it

for sale they make less them they did of the nu gundam there buy creating a shortage . That means for those who got the nu gundam they cant get its mate the sazabi. 

Okini land did like what other stores did offrerd 2 for sale at retail and held back their order to sell at markup. They might have not offer any at all and just try flip them. 

I mean this only happens with bandi Arcadia makes stuff it does  ot sell ok unlike this all that other stuff that bandi teased yf 21 , yf 19, sdf tv version we will never get it because the same thing will happen 

Is there a popular forum like macross world for gundam were maybe they want to make a mark up but they dont want to pay ebay and yahoo fees and we can buy directly from someone who ones one. 

I get it you want to make a profit but brother ain't  nobody going to give you 4 to 5 grand especially in today's economy. Nobody will buy anything if they feel like they are getting taken.

We are collectors we understand things increase in value over time and so as it becomes more rare and popular it raises in value and we if we decide to sell it we try to price it at a fair price that will sell and not be outrageous.  

But they are doing including okiniland and these other sellers are trying to scalp us and none of are about to get taken.

They either make me a reasonable offer or hot toys can take my money.

I personally think it's a  beautiful brick that lacks any articulation.  What I wanted and would have loved was a metal build of nu gundam and the sazabi but we got this in stead so here we are

So its ebay or nothing then we are out of luck crazy because plenty of people wanted them but it was gone in seconds . Oh well take money else were

Well hell if they really trying this hard to make us get one Hot Toys mark 3 diecast is looking real pretty for 1/4 thr cost 

Honesty we just need a fix figuration of these two and that would be sufficient.

At this scale it's a beautiful brick .

Any other possible places?

P bandi had the Nu I am hoping they will stock this too

So are they done or they just taking a break on new releases been a while since we seen anything and none were shown during the tamashi show case ?

So I guess we'll are screwed  pay pal will not do anything bank says they cant help.

Dam out money and superpack. I told paypal you let us make purchases through you but this guy must have had multiple complaints why is his account still active.

I guess its first time for every thing.

So is my only option Ebay to try and find super packs.?

What happened to Nippon Yassin facebook is filled with complaints they have not shipped products and it all started this year. 

Anybody have any infon on shipments from Nippon Yassin on the TV fast packs Been waiting and nothing ?

Did they go bust or waiting onna second shipment?

Might have to try paypal at this point 

Anybody have an update from Nippon yassin on the shipment  MACROSS - DX CHOGOKIN SUPER PARTS SET FOR TV?

Said it would  be ready bu Dec 23 , 2020 but I got nothing 

So the chances of finding one on release day depend on people on canceling there orders or will these retailers have extra stock

I almost slept through this one 

For those who missed the early bird orders, we’ll probably see more places put them up when Monday rolls around in Japan. It’s now 9PM, Sunday over there.

I see that bandi website sti has them up so I guess you are right

Wow I look away for a handful of hours and boom lol

From Japan has a message indicating they are sold out. Placed an order at another proxy, fingers crossed!

Is that the only way to get this through a proxy. Hell I did de even know this was going for order today.

Is this up any where else 

Are they going to release both the yf 21 and release the  yf 19 .

Correct me if I am wrong but nippon yassin never put an order ar a mark up price like they have done in the past. That's frankly the onkybwaybi have ever managed to get a valk .

I’ll be snagging a Roy on Manda.  They are the most reliable store IMO.  DHL may be pricey but it shows up within days to the US. 

Link ?

Not only Macross, I also collect Saint Seiya figures and those are really hard to find after PO day, and usually with a mark-up, they release a new figure every 3 months so its hard to keep up

Yeah I did notice that a new saint figure asgard figure was in preorder indent even know it was offered for preorder probably all on the same day. So 3 times macross , new eva and a saint seyia figure. It's insane only bandi does this  happen with.
