brouken Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Man, I REALLY hope they re-issue the armor parts. It really doesn't make any sense to re-release Ozma without the armor parts. If they're capitalizing on the movies, Ozma doesn't even fly his messiah without armor! And...just like that, the super parts are gone from Mandarake. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duymon Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'm tempted to PO 1 or 2 more just for kicks so I can make a VF-25S Tornado or some custom :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brouken Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Anyone think its worth taking a risk with that Hong Kong seller in ebay who's selling armored parts? The pic is that for the renewal version but the description doesn't say "renewal" anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'm tempted to PO 1 or 2 more just for kicks so I can make a VF-25S Tornado or some custom :0 you crazy i don't think mod david will want to help get you one. lol yeah, i'm debating if i'll stay up. i think i will but just going to avoid amiami. not worth the stress... two things going to happen. it's rare and sold out fast or it's mass produced. i don't want to mislead anyone to relax in pre-ordering as you never know but i'm leaning towards the latter. i think it's going to be produced in large quantities. i don't mind staying up but i don't want to slam or scream at my nice laptop if i don't have to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lykaios Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) So tonight is the night....I dont know why I thought Japan time was more than 14ish hours ahead of the US. Google is your friend (when they aren't speaking to the NSA). Have the re-releases made the preorder process any easier?? I wouldn't know....

I wouldn't know.... you still have to stay up... and constantly check this thread 24/7 but all the recent pre-orders for frontier has been longer than 5 mins... so that's better than a 10 sec window...

Kanedas Bike Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Not even going to take the chance of speculating on pre-order availability or availability in general.

Normally staying up late would not be a problem for me, but I am on painkillers right now so this will make for an interesting pre-order night for me.

Sildani Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) The pre-orders will open at 4:00PM Japan time on August 1st, correct? That means the show starts for us at 3:00 AM Eastern time. So 2:00 Central, 1:00 Mountain, and 12:00 Pacific. Edited July 31, 2014 by Sildani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 4:00 Central, 3:00 Mountain, and 2:00 Pacific. More like 0300 EST, 0200 CST and 0000 PST.

Sildani Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) It's a bit of confusion, honestly. Got my time zones crossed. Fixed my original post, sorry! Edited July 31, 2014 by Sildani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) It's currently 0421 in Tokyo, Japan and 1521 in Boston, MA, USA. Mr. March: I will try. Tamashii is reissuing Ozma's VF25s Valkyrie and orders will open in Japan on August 1 in the afternoon. Everyone is asking what that translates to in their own local time so that they can be awake and ready to preorder the 25s. I was sure some were trying to turn it into a joke, though. It looks like I was mistaken. I'm sorry about that. Edited July 31, 2014 by technoblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyll2 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Can someone translate for a toy collecting newb exactly what is happening in this thread right now? VF-25S renewal version will be re-release by November 2014 and orders will open by August 1, 2014 at 4PM. It is ozma, and it is Ozma and it is OZMA. Everybody wants to have it scalpers and collectors alike. note: without re-release of this, a 300 USD VF-25S is considered okay price. and recently, DX Chogokin release usually sold out in minutes (if not less than a minute) Edited July 31, 2014 by chyll2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loop Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Yeah I really wanted to get some sleep tonight, but you know, I have to try and snag at least 2 more of these to be happy. I may target 3 though.

Mr March Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Dear gawd. Well, thank you technoblue and chyll2. I had no idea this is what toy collecting had come to. The resellers sure have become the scourge of highend collectibles. I'm still in the market for a VF-25 Renewal, maybe I'll try for this pre-order, but it doesn't sound promising.

Scyla Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Mr March just stay in this thread and watch how it will explode (with posts and with people watching this thread). When anyone will scream in anger as three things will happen. AmiAmis server will collapse people who are (legitimately) complaining that the couldn't get a preorder in in the 0.1 second it was available, got it in the cart but couldn't make it to the checkout people trying to find other shows with open preorders who will all disappear in seconds That is what happened with all the renewal releases since the VF-25G but maybe Bandai changed something this time around.
