I was already prepped to find an after-market or release day one, but still hoped I'd get lucky. But the worst thing is while searching I kept spotting other preorder items that now are getting my attention. (hey look, a super expensive Arcadia! Don't click preorder. Don't.).

Same, except I hit the bathroom when HLJ's popped up and I am not touching nin nin
-
If you call this "working"
-
HLJ is taking longer to tell me it doesn't find the product now.

AE went from "too many people trying to login" to complete crash:

Juts teasing us with this:

got a link but it is 404ing https://www.hlj.com/dx-chogokin-first-limited-edition-vf-1s-valkyrie-roy-focker-special-bans60502

cmon HLJ, just list so I can go away disappointed.
-
Ami AMi preorders closed by the time I got a connection
-
Anime-Export's site goes down for the count.
-
Yep- Jungle got me like that one time with two CFs and a Max and Millia. Makes it worthwhile for shipping.
-
Roy Bucker? I'm in.

I just finished my last batches the other day, but I can throw in a vote for Glenmorangie's Port Wood and Burgandy Wood finished scotches as "affordable" ($40 or so/bottle). I also wish I wasn't out of Suntory Hibiki.

Why would you come back to defend yourself? Maybe because you desperately want people to believe you are not the seller and that you found this "amazing deal" that you want people to go back and click so that you get people to buy from you? How about this: you come back *after* PO madness and let us know you are selling for $225 and then we'll think likely you've scored an amazing deal. Right now all you've offered is something that is waaaay above what the current price is, If you spent half the time lurking as you pretend to, you would not be coming here with fake indignation, because you'd already know what the reaction would be. If you persist, you will likely find your account banned and your posts deleted. And that *definitely* won't drive any traffic to your site....er, I mean your totally unrelated seller's site.

Mine shows like this: I was waiting to see if I could grab something else to make the shipping worthwhile first. If against all odds I grab a Focker there, then it would be perfect.
-
Nobody believes you because the facts don't match. If you've been following along for a year, it is amazing that your account says this: Add to it that if you had followed along for any time, the only reasonable price postings in this or similar threads is when someone finds a deal *better* than the prevailing price. Given this hasn't hit PO yet, the prevailing price is 19800 yen. Your post is waaaay above prevailing price. You tried to post your listing and you got called out on it.

The above is exactly what happened to me. I got the Monster, was amazed, and it was a slippery slope into all the rest. I resisted awhile because I didn't want "another scale" but I'm happy I gave into temptation. My wallet? Less happy.

this-----^ OTOH, while you will see tons of crazy prices for the Regults, if you are patient you can grab some for decent prices (I've gotten some for as little as $120 shipped and I got my missile set for $220 shipped, both waaaaaay less than a lot of the quoted prices. Glaugs are usually more decently priced since people tend to not army build with a bunch of them. The VFs vary- I recommend keeping an eye on Mandarake and The Jungle and trying to get a bunch at once to keep shipping reasonable. As for the Monster- GET IT. Don't hesitate. Find a price you like and buy it. You will not be disappointed when it shows up. Definitely also grab the Defender and Spartan, which if you are patient you can get for under $100 each.

It's definitely weird photoshop issues, because the lighting appears to be from the front left of the toy (thus why the chest on the right side facing us has a shine along with the front of the left arms of the toy. Using my black pen, I'll circle one of the parts in the image bugging me: Notice the pop up should lights bleeding through the front of the toy, as if the lights themselves are real and turned on. Definitely someone frakking with photoshop. The shine on the GB-11 is wrong as well, but that is a different pet peeve (it shines along the topside *and* near the hand next to the upside down Y in SPACY, an impossible place for the light to glint if the light is coming from the opposite side of the toy).

My Marauder is just off to the right of the Griffin, along with some of the OST mechs. And if you look right under the Archer, there is a Hornet LAM on the shelf below (ok, I know that Hornet mention in the Spider and the Wolf is now non-canonical).
-
I'll just put the HMR version of Warhammer next to it for comparison and..... <looks around, starts crying>
-
Definitely the photoshop, because the one Kawamori plays with is not orange at all.
-
I can't speak for NY right now, but The Jungle still let me order with economy shipping but with a warning that it won't ship right now. They did let me stack more things in my order later without upping shipping a bunch, though they did note that's not normal "policy". I know I'm waiting longer for some things to come from them, but what is coming I got some fantastic prices on so I'm patient.
-
Yeah- Im guessing whoever did the photoshopping on that pict just screwed up their color saturation when playing with everything.

My wife isn't a huge spender and while she will sometimes make fun of me for my toys, we make enough money that it isn't an issue. It's just funny because sometimes things that are delayed for various reasons all show up at the same time, even if "ordered" years apart (damn Kickstarters).
