Doesn't Anime Export as you to pay right away?

so check this NY still have preorders of VF-171EX Nightmare Plus EX (Regular), RVF-25 Messiah I mean weren't these sold out for the longest time and now they are back in stock

I have a feeling if NY does reopen preorders that it might be at $ 250 considering that is the average price on the auction sites

Come on NY come through for us

So its NY or nothing and when are they going to open it up again because I don't trust HLJ

Never mind about Hobby Search http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10227289 dam think must have been sold out like Amiami

Amiami was a long shot anyway anyone try Hobby search before?

when will NY have it up I am sure sometime soon

Man I bet the Japanese customers were pissed too

What joke what is sold out in 30 sec

So according to Amiami preoders start at 2013/05/08 16:00～ what is that 4:00 pm Japan time that 4 hours from now

I know NY does a preorder then close and then reopens at a higher price

is amiami up for preorder yet

Took the bait lets see what happens I was hoping HLJ would have their preorders up but if I remember finished in moments when the DX Chogo-kin VF-171 Nightmare Plus came up something about having a 10 per customer limit it was a joke.

Good question they have opened pre-orders for other Bandai products that will be released in June. No RVF-25 though.

Last time the opened pretty late for the VF-171CF I assume they will open when the have a confirmation of the available stock from Bandai.

I assume somewhere around next week.

Be warned the pre-order batch for the last Bandai Valkyrie was a few dozen units. So they will sell out in seconds especially when the production run of Luca

is lower than the other release

Really its lower then the other how come crap they would be stupid to do that, is this lower production run all in due to the fact that many of the version 1 were not selling we crap that's their fault for not have a proper gerwalk mode or is it because the show is not one anymore and they think the popularity has died down a bit.

how soon before we get HLJ orders up, because if I remember correctly last time hardly any one was able to get a vf 17 as they had a ridicules 10 items per a customer limit and it was sold out almost instantly like all the other retailers I need up having to go to Nippon yissan who I hope will open up preorders soon again.

Well crap I total thought they would release this in the Q3 one every quarter but May then June so we can expect the next Valk to drop in July.

F you Bandai I so what to get this addiction over with the don't even compare in quality to Yamato but you have the license to why not milk you F#$# idiots

Hey your right I do feel better

When is HLJ opening up their preorder this is getting old fast and we have 1 more valk after this and then Bandi can go and #$#% themselves

Well Iview these as a set so If I can not get all the pieces to complete the team then the others lose their appeal and I think about selling them considering they are the same mold with just different heads and paints.

No, I got nothing, sorry. My main contact, who is as high as they come has been deathly silent

Graham

I suppose because they nature of the deal have instructed him to not leak any info, well I am optimistic that the reason behind the purchase was to expand their product line and continue producing macros products. Its a business after all and they would not be in it if they did not see a profit and as some other threads have stated there are still many more Macross products that have yet to be made, and that is not including all the repaints. Other companies are still producing Macross products just in the form of models and although Bandai have the Frontier license Yamato is still the only company that make transformable macross mecha.

Graham do you have any official word from Yamato something to calm the fears and the rumors that are spreading

Please what the big deal a smaller company was bought out by a larger company so it happens all the time in business it because the larger company can see potential in the smaller company and was a share of those profits. Macross is already a niche market it's not going to see like Gundam because it's targeted towards a different consumer audience mainly the adult collector who can afford to purchase these products so by nature the production run will be smaller.

Although Yamato does make figures as well they I hardly think that the macross license will be die out and the only reason bought out yamato was to get access to their dolls

As far as what else the can offer I guess the can issue releases and some new designs based on the games. It make not be as many releases per a year but considering most of offerings were repaints.

We will see what the future holds

Transformers combined made over 2 billion dollars they just trying to replicate that formula I am sure some one soon enough will announce a GUNDAM Movie just considering the merchandise alone would be insane.

About dam time you this had to be coming if Pacfic RIm takes off then why not?

Strange HLJ site seems to say this item is discontinued I thought they just released this in December maybe they are cutting back on their inventory so they don't have to do a Macross sale
