Don't think it was ever up at Amiami for preorder. They must have sold their stock on another site like Rakuten first or they are yet to put it up.
-
I will try to get my order in at retail. If I don't get it, I will just order from Amazon JP when they release it. Will still be much cheaper than NY marked up price.
-
I still use NY even though their service is not that great. The issues is possible slow sending out of items and in no logical order. Some people who preorder items later than you, might get theirs send out first before yours. Communication is the other issue with slow or no reply from them. They are reliable in regards that you will get your stuff. Just communication and sometimes slow sending out of the your order are the main issues.
-
Anywaone know whether it will be a standard release or Tamashii exclusive. Here's hoping for Tamashii exclusive.
-
Depends on who you order from. For most large retailers like Amiami, HLJ, Hobby Search, they charge before the tax. If you buy from like Amazon JP and also I believe NY, the tax will be a factor. When NY took preorder for their initial run of the VF-25A, they were charging 14,700, which has the 5% tax included.
-
It's the same just Japan sales tax will go up to 8% next year as oppose to their current 5%. 4500 + 5% = 4725 4500 + 8% = 4860
-
I just got my 3 of VF-25A from Amazon JP. I noticed that on all three of my boxes, it has been taped 2 or 3 times. Understand this can be a case for QC check or perhaps they forgot to put something in. Those who have received theirs, were your boxes taped more than one time. Thanks.
-
Those still wanting to get one, I will be patient. I won't be surprise to see them up again from HLJ, Hobby Search and Amiami. NY will put them up again probably first with a premium and if no one buys then they will drop it. I pick up some at Amazon JP last week before the stock came in at 11,760 Yen each before shipping.
-
I use Tenso as well. I am guessing it should be around 4,180 based on the shipping weight shown on the Amazon website as 1.1kg and estimating the weight to be about 1.5kg. If it goes over then it will be 4,580. Really depends on how they pack the items. If you got a quote for 4,580 then this will be more accurate.
-
Even cheaper at Amazon JP. 14,800 plus 500 shipping to Japan. Forwarding agent cost will be around 4,180. Total 19,480 via EMS. If you order two, then shipping will be better. I am tempted with the VF-25A preorder over there as it's selling for 11,760 + 500 shipping.
-
How realiable is BiginJapan. I haven't ordered from them before and having to pay upfront for an item not out until April next year, just want to few confident buying from them.
-
The VF-25A is not even out yet and Amazon JP already drop them in price.
-
At least someone is operating their facebook as suddenly all the comments about no communication have been deleted. Yay!!! Some sign of life. Just got an preparation for shipping email. Really hope they are just experiencing staff shortage. I think they only have 5 people working, and if all of them cannot speak english and if their english speaking staff is away or sick, could be why there is a lack of response. Normally when you email them you get a response back in a couple of hours or within a day.
-
Not feeling good about NY. Their online help has not been online at all today. Their facebook page is starting to fill with comments of no communication. Anyone thinking about ordering with them, I would hold off for the time being. Also, if you have any payment to make, I would hold off as well until you get invoiced from them. I have a lot of preorders with them and have paid for them and will be really **** off if they go belly up. Hope they are just having staff shortage.
-
A lot of the VF-25A was pre-ordered at retail or more. Due to the other releases falling below retail, there is a good chance to get it at a lower price after release.
-
I am not having confidence in NY at the moment. When companies stop communicating with you, it's a sign they may go belly up. I still have not received shipping confirmation for my other 2 super parts and they have not replied to my email. Just sent another email to them today. Perhaps they got burned with their recent preorders where they have secured stocked from local sellers and unable to off load it now due to the availability of the items at other places which resulted in a lot of cancellations.
-
Has everyone received shipping confirmation from NY? I got two orders for the super parts and only one of them has been shipped. The other is still showing as Pre-Order - Payment OK (P).
-
Looks like the VF-27 keeps on falling in price. At Amazon JP its currently at 16,780 Yen shipped within Japan. Probably approx another 3,780-4,180 Yen to ship it via Tenso using EMS to USA and some otehr countries.
-
Prices for the VF-27 is still dropping at Amazon JP, currently at 17,800 yen before shipping. However, for the VF-25F it's reached its bottom at 14,380 yen and now have gone back up to 15,800 yen before shipping.
-
If you got it shipped by SAL, that would be the reason as they can only ship one in a box. It's written when you select that shipping option that the item will be packed in seperate boxes.

Even though the little black triangle is not broken, I will still take care when transforming it. Because the pin in the center is not a smooth pin but have jagged teeth, potentially it can catch the plastic when rotating where it's joint, and seeing that the plastic is the CF doesn't appear to be strong durable plastic, it could potentially just break. I have 7 of them. 1 with broken leg, 1 with broken NUNS triangle, 1 with broken small black triangle and 1 with cracked small black triangle. Move the broken pieces to one, so at least the rest appears to be okay.
-
Nice. Different style Gunpod as well with a bayonet. Hmm, thinking whether to order another one now as well.

I think this would either be the first or second restock. They would have release some stock when they met their preorders, so this could be the first. Good to see though as if they release the VF-25S, there's is no reason to pay huge premium or a premium at all. Also, seems like their restock last for a while too for people to pick up.
-
Yeah. I would think the VF-25S reissue shouldn't be too far away. Would be nice to see YF-29 Ozma. Deciding whether to pay for the huge premium on the VF-25F super parts now or regret it later when it goes up even more. Or buy it now and then regret it should Bandai bundle it up with a reissue. For those who are hoping for the VF-25S to be reissued and think it most likely will, should consider looking at the Armored or Super parts now before the prices goes up even more.
