Some got lucky with Nin Nin with Roy, but it has been the exprience that they PO some at MSRP, ratchet up the price, sell more, rathet up, etc. Then they often fulfill the marked up ones first and work their way backwards. They've had a number of complaints, but not NY level of complaints.

Yeah, my last two attempts with From Japan were either "Already sold our limit" or the second instance it looked like the order made it but it got cancelled for them being over the limit later. I know a lot of people had the latter recently. I ended up being able to get an order in at AE for not too much over retail. I do know the retail was higher on this than for the others- I think mainly to accommodate the extras like the fan racer. I know Roy's retail was ¥19,800 but I think the 1D was more like ¥23,100 or something like that.

I know most folks are playing their proxies close to their vest now, since the proxies that have been posted have been overrun by people now- From Japan is basically useless now since that was frequently mentioned and now anyone making a DX purchase through there is usually getting cancelled due to too many people ordering through it. My suggestion is to search up proxies and see what you can find. As for Nin Nin, you are probably better off with Okini since I've had no problems with them and lots of folks have had issues with Nin Nin (though you are more likely to get a matrked up toy from Nin Nin than a MSRP order, even though the msrp order came in first).

While the Evolution legioss is a big floppy mess, I didn't mind grabbing a dark legioss on the cheap to go with my gakken 1/35s. I do think it is funny that the 1/35 Evolution mini ride armor and pilots are the same or smaller than the 1/48 Sentinels.

There are a few non-proxy site like Okini Land that still have it (though for a markup). Okini has it for under $300: https://okini.land/en/23368-dx-chogokin-vf-1d-valkyrie-fan-racer-bandai-spirits.html

Got an inexpensive Evolution Dark Legioss from Mandarake to sit with my Gakken 1/35s. -
Cmon, now, it's only *four* times on the front! And it is definitely not for five year olds, since they'd destroy this weak toy so fast it wouldn't be funny.

LOL he was being sarcastic.

So I was moving around some of my HMR VFs to make space for another brownie when I accidentally hit the stand for the Elintseeker, popping it off. I reached out and caught in, but somehow popped a wing off when doing so. I started searching around and the wing had totally disappeared. It may have slipped into my comics rack I have but I haven't tracked it down yet. And of course I knock the wing off one that doesn't have an alternate set. So until I find the damned thing, the poor Elintseeker is going to have to stay in space and avoid flying in an atmosphere.

My first thought when you said you might sell your other one was "Oh please don't do that!" since I now have some HMRs from @Alphahorizon coming as well as a Evolution dark legioss on the way from Mandarake (about a week after I told my wife I wasn't expecting to get any new mechs until the DX 1D). But if it *does* go up as a listing. I'll look at it for sure. And then start the process of rationalization. -

O man- nice find- that is beautiful! -
That GBP picture is apparently from this site: http://artfire2000.chuckliuphotography.com/ But definitely not A2000's prices in the slightest.
-
Yeah, looks like a Wish.com clone.

Here's the full ad @jvmacross posted in the other thread:

Only way this will work is if this thread actually gets some content, so I'm starting to dig through for some of what was posted in the big thread. Here's a posting from before the PO with pictures, some of which I've brought over below (but there are more on the site). https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/1140020/ Let's move over some of the other content as well.
-
So will poses of the eventual toy only be intended for here? Or will those poses only be allowed in a dedicated "DX Figures Posting" thread? I'm still trying to see the advantage here over the single DX thread. If it is to help newbies find information without asking in the big thread, sure. But I have a feeling I'm now going to see people post the same pictures when they get their DX VF-1D in this thread, and the new toy thread, and the original DX thread.
-
As this is one of the threads I haunt, if it gets split into different threads, I'll just be haunting the new posts in those threads instead. I'm not sure if there will be much of an advantage over what we currently have.

When it is PO night, I'm all about sharing where things pop up and are available. But for the 1D I just up and hit the link for AE rather than try to go cheaper on a proxy order. Probably what soured me the most on From Japan was them accepting orders and then cancelling them later when folks then are stuck scrambling. So it is less it being shared here than it is them overbooking up front.
-
I gave up on From Japan too.
-
Hey, can you tell me how to purchase TWE items? And let me know all your proxies so I can use them before you and you get no chance to use them? But I actually love this thread and it is one I focus on coming back to regularly. But then, if you saw my windows desktop, I store a lot of stuff there in a jumbled mess, so maybe I'm not the best person to model on.

They will look perfect with all my 1/28th scale toys I have around! <looks through collection, finds nothing>

Started playing around with this pose with a HM Roy, HMR Regult, and a Beagle Mospeada, but I need to dig around for some foam to get the wheelie right.
