Oh I almost forgot about this preorder, hope I can score one.

I too have a soft spot for Elintseekers, although I do not agreed in the choice of colors here, but I'm in for one. Preordered madness again is it?

Saburo, lovely pics as usually!

Picked up my DX 1J that was shipped from AJ a couple of weeks ago and just barely got a change to take it outta box.

Holy sh!t you guys; NY shipped my 2 x VF-31A 

I would have upgraded the shipping if they offered but I can wait another few weeks. What’s 5 lbs on an elephants a55 

I was really losing hope seeing all the orders being fulfilled (that were placed after mine) but they must finally be getting to the orders of multiple copies.  Hang tough; this fiasco is almost behind us!

WOW, a big congratulations to you?

Hopefully NY will ship my two copies sometime this year too, but I'm not holding my breath, I lost hope long time ago.

I'm just drifting in the sea and hopefully NY will eventually find me.

I just preordered on ShowZStore. Still available

I've notice there's Set A and Set B, does set A comes with cover for the belly for Heli mode?

It’s good to see more and more people from nally receiving their 31A’s.  What a ludicrous situation.

How many fellow Macross Worlders are still waiting on NY now?

Raise two hands 

I'm waiting on two piece ordered on 10/7, I did ask if they could just ship one at a time but they wouldn't comply, and I even offer to pay for the extra shipping. 

Just received my VF-31S Arad, unfortunately the left wing is a loosey goosey, it won't lock in and just hanging down. Also, the right thuster is a bit loose too. Seems like someone at the factory been playing with my copy before they box it up. 

My heart skipped a beat or two when I learned that Yamato stop making the 1/48 scale.

Hopefully Bandai will continue the legacy and give up the much anticipated valks (VF-1D, VE-1, VT-1, and the VF-X)

Took some pics earlier of Arad's VF-31S equipped with Mirage's VF-31C Super Parts. Yup, like I mentioned before it's too bad that it wasn't in the same red/ruby shade. But hey, I'm lovin' it.

 

 

 

 

These combo actually looks great, I didn't picked up any super parts as I wanted to keep my fighters natural and naked, otherwise I would setup this same setup. 

Thanks for sharing No3Ljm.

Besides the Kairos which I already received from them, but this is what I feel literally everytime I tried to poke back about the missing in transit Figuarts that I ordered from them last year. 

 

A few years ago, NY send me a couple of items which I have no idea what it was (image below), at first I thought it was a gift from NY, but then again why would NY send me a free gift. So I asked NY where those for me, because surely I did not ordered them, and them said it was a mistake on their part. I agree to ship it back and they reimburse me for the shipping.

For sure, in the future I'll just place an order of one piece at a time and if I want a second piece, I'll order it from other site. NY seems to first tried to fulfilled for those who ordered one piece.

Does anyone still have a nippon yasan pre order for the 31a kairos? At this point I kinda don’t care anyone .

That would be me, still waiting.... and waiting... and I've placed my pre-ordered on 2017-10-07 with order number 488877. Even though I've send them a polite email, still no dice.

what scale is this Sentinel Legioss?

I like all the floppy gimmicks. I never had an issue with them on the Yamato 1/48s. 

I don’t handle my figures that much; but it never surprised me that if you pick it up and start shaking it around some of the bits and pieces may come off or the figure may lose its pose.

Yes, bring all the gimmicks, the more the merrier. I mostly display and admire my toys, so it works for me too. My collections will be complete if Bandai decide to produce the VE-1, VT-1, and the VF-1D. THE 1/48 HAVE REBORN. 

Bandai version seems to have better handing gears than Yamato version.

The official product from TT announcement doesn't get me excited anymore, I was very disappointed with MP-28 Hot Rod and they mix the beast war into the same masterpiece line. Beast War should've get it's own MP line. MP Sunstreaker is a great piece, but this V3 Prime and Hound looks to be a pass. Already got a better looking Hound from 3P which also have rubber tires and die-cast.

I can't wait for a colored prototype so I made my own.

 

Wow, nice work no3Ljm. 

Now I have to get this and Rook, I don't transform my toys that often so it will be great as a display piece. Lancer's bike was always my favorite of the bunch.

well that didn't take long, I hope someone here got it, it was listed at 17,100 yen.

Just canceled my HS order so one should be available as I type this. Hurry!

I see it now, those who need one jump right in!

I got mine from Amazon Japan already.

Wow, that makes NY’s price hike look downright reasonable!

Is there an English mode for Amazon Japan? How do you get to it please?

Use Google Chrome, it'll translate.

Got one from Amazon JP, couldn't secure one from ami or NY.

Oh by the way, NY have the balls to send me an email saying my order was canceled because items no longer available, then they put up the preorder again with the jacked up price. 

I too thought there was something wrong with my PayPal account so I went ahead and paid with CC and now waiting for recalculation email also. I should've check here first.

3.) now that I am engaged, I should start being more "responsible".

Must resist temptation. Oh boy, I imagine pre-order madness being crazy for this one. 

You must spend spend spend be for she become you CFO (Chief Financial Officer) 

On other note: I already have all the 1/48 VF-1, but I'm will to give Bandai  version one or two try, if the price is reasonable.  OH it would be sweet if Bandai would make VF-1D, VT-1, and VE-1 in 1/48 scale, then I could die and gone to heaven.

Let's face it, there's 2 options (3 if you paid by CC).

• Wait
• Cancel for store credit
• (CC only) Chargeback and get banned from using NY ever again

I'll just ride the waves and see what happen.
