Arrowyn Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I *had* one in my cart at NY, but someone ganked it right outta there while I was checking out. Grr!
Bahamutzyro Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I was on the skite at exact time n never saw the screen until it said sold out

Valkyrie Magnus Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I am tired and I missed them all. Either I get lucky with one later or my v1 is good enough.
Sandman Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Same here. I had the search going the whole time on CDJapan but nada In fact i still can't find it unless i use Grahamn's direct link.
Bahamutzyro Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Why not? This is ridiculous that we want to order n it's sold out in 5 seconds. I hope bandai goes bankrupt n gets sued unexpected system error!
Duymon Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I'm gonna send an email to bandai complaining on how they conduct business. They should be satisfying there customers, not pissing them off Are you in Japan? No? They don't care
Chronocidal Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Bandai isn't making these for international customers, just Japan. So, really, blame HG.
UN Spacy Posted April 3, 2013 Author Posted April 3, 2013 I'm gonna send an email to bandai complaining on how they conduct business. They should be satisfying there customers, not pissing them off I'd actually like to see where this goes.
stormshadow0621 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Weird, session expired in amiami and could not log in... was able to get in using my 2nd account but too late. Then I was able to try my first account and log back on... Would be pissed if I didn't already have one.
Loop Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Hrmm, then we will get no chance at all at getting any more valks.....
marijuana Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 AE and Hobbysearch haven't posted yet What is AE? do you have the link?
Bahamutzyro Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 This is the most ridiculous thing I ever seen. We are all up waiting n it sells out before we can check out in cart? Really really pathetic.
ychanus Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Just chill, it is just toy. Supply < Demand I bet Bandai is producing as many as they can for each run. It'll come again I guarantee it.
Chronocidal Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 It might not seem like any consolation, but given the patterns of previous sales, NY will probably have more preorders up shortly, and then probably will have several to sell at release time. It'll be marked up, but sadly that's kind of the way this goes lately, even for the Yamato stuff.
Bahamutzyro Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I'm gonna sell my v.1 version. Anyone interested? This crap just pissed me off. I will not buy another bandai Valkyrie. Period.
raptormesh Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I hope a tsunami hits bandai I laughed but chill bro, it's just that they cater to their core market which is Japan. They don't really realize how much grief this is giving a bunch of foreign fans.
NoodlesOodles Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Great price! http://www.ebay.com/itm/DX-Chogokin-VF-25F-Messiah-Valkyrie-Saotome-Alto-Custom-Renewal-Ver-JAPAN-/261195003985?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cd06f7851
Dimis Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I'd actually like to see where this goes. Are you in Japan? No? They don't care I had sent an e-mail in japanese to Alter regarding one of their products. They never even replied. I should not have said that i live in the UK :-)
SaitouSad Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 ARRGHH!!! Got cart jacked.. and then I had to go for a meeting....
Duymon Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 For the Cannon Fodder and YF-29 NY-san put the new marked-up batch up around 1900 - 2000 JST the same day as release. For the RVF NY-san did not have the new batch up until around 0900 - 1000 JST the next day. It's a crapshoot but totalyl worth it even at 180-190 since before that ALto's were 350+

Chronocidal Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Wow... ok, that ebay link made me laugh pretty hard. That's insane. Oh, by shortly I mean probably tomorrow some time. I wish I had tracked their times for posting more stock for the RVF. I do know that my Paypal notice for the preorder went in at about 2pm Pacific time on March 4th, and that was at $183, so not terribly marked up by that point. Edited April 3, 2013 by Chronocidal
Graham Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Â Same here. I had the search going the whole time on CDJapan but nada <_<Â I subscribe to an email newsletter from CD Japan. That's where I got the link. Received the email just after 3pm (HK time / 4pm Japan time), clicked on the link and placed the order and paid. Did it all on my phone as well, even though I had NY, Ami Ami, AE and CD Japan open on the laptop. Graham
xrentonx Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Yeah...relax. Step away from the computer for a minute. You don't wanna end up like the last guy who spazzed out on MW.

yman1437 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 That's just outrageous.... Great price! http://www.ebay.com/itm/DX-Chogokin-VF-25F-Messiah-Valkyrie-Saotome-Alto-Custom-Renewal-Ver-JAPAN-/261195003985?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cd06f7851

takatoys Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I hope a tsunami hits bandai Haha, there should be a "like" button on the forum.
Loop Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Haha, there should be a "like" button on the forum. Hit the green up arrow on the bottom of the post.
xrentonx Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Holy crap... I think I actually got one. From AmiAmi. Yeah, for future reference? Go to your browser options, and turn off any and all images. I think that's the only thing that let me load fast enough to get through. I totally tried this and I still failed ...also, I think it cost me the NY order because I was fumbling around trying to find the "Next" button
Dimis Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) That's just outrageous.... NO, it's not... pretty moderate compared to the VF-19P: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Macross-Dynamite-Perfect-VF-19P-Planet/dp/B008S99F6A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1364974843&sr=8-1 :-) Edited April 3, 2013 by Dimis
