Loop Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 The Hobby Search orderind procedure is a piece of super slow crap! Agreed, I got screwed because of that and I forgot my info lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupin The Third Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Scored one on CD Japan.Subtotal 14000 yen Shipping 5000 yen Total 19000 yen That's the only problem with them is the shipping is about 18,000¥ more than the actual cost. It costs 32,000¥ to ship a Valk to the US via EMS, yet they charge an almost $20 premium on the shipping. Really tacky in my opinion, but I guess it's no worse than NY charging actual shipping but $20 extra for a Valk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 ...and we thought it was gonna be a slow night btw, xrentonx, thanks for the the cd japan alert, just woke up by accident and saw the post and got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loop Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 It's funny how I kept getting errors on CD Japan for my phone number. You have to enter it with no dashes. Still got a copy from there and NY though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrentonx Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) No problem, David There's no discount but at least I can turn in whenever I want tonight. I think that's a good idea actually since I only want one more of this one and I can probably wait it out and see if there is a fire sale later. http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-000804 http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/5456-macross-f-dx-chogokin-vf-25a-messiah-valkyrie-regular.html http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/goods/goods_detail.html?KEY=NEOGDS-90706 http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10233203 Edited July 1, 2013 by xrentonx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Focker Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 was pleasantly surprised that i didn't need to create an account with cdjapan. i just clicked on the "checkout w/ paypal" button and it took me straight to the paypal login page and after that, just clickety-clicked with my default address and shipping options. pretty nifty and quick checkout process i must say.

Shukenzero Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Don't worry NY will probably be back with stock and there will be enough to go round come October. I think this will go the way of the 171 and rvf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 congrats! thought you were sitting this out. lucky dog. i paid the full 14000yen but went cheap with SAL I was, but since I'm up studying for an exam, decided to open up my browsers and see what shook loose. Just one of those times where if I got one, great, if not, no big deal. Glad to see you scored one too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptormesh Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I'm just camping hlj for the moment, but if they don't go up, I'll just wait for the inevitable release period fire sale. Same here. Kinda meh on the rush now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this will go the way of the 171 and rvf Especially since anyone who missed out was probably competing against one of NY's buyers.

typhoon Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Man I thought I had myself set this time, had the iPad and PC running. Somehow I missed amiami and NY, sucks but I will just wait for the next NY window to open up. Well done to those of you who picked one up!

xrentonx Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) Hobbysearch was super confusing. I probably could have scored one there but I had no idea where the "Purchase" or "Preorder" button was. Turned out it was the "Reserve" button.

Chronocidal Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 It must have jumped back and forth due to either cancellations or confirming stock or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupin The Third Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 lol, nobody wants to pay up front.... lol me included! Understood. It's a bit much for a company to expect you to prepay on something 4 months before it releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) CD Japan was up forever for a renewal...like freaking 35 minutes....funny how they were up forever but anime-export sells out like hotcakes despite their super super super super super slow shipping and service :0 Edited July 1, 2013 by Duymon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaitouSad Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) welp.. guess I'll just wait.. sooner or later, somebody's gonna have these in stock again (look at the RVF and 171)..I got one, though am trying to get anotherOn a side note, this was as painful a drop for me as well, as I had 1 other order to secure as well (it happened previously for the last drop as well)..Doesn't help that after 45 minutes, Amiami's servers are still screwy. Fortunately it's still listed as available Edited July 1, 2013 by SaitouSad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupin The Third Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Alright let's start the wagers on NY's first marked up price....I guess 16,000¥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 "can't really complain" is a little harsh... we've been programmed to think of 35 minutes as an eternity now. After all, there's a lot of people (less informed) who will wake up tomorrow to find it went on sale but it's already sold out everywhere.
