Old Man Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Actually maybe I can finally trade for the VF-25S I have been yearning for...yeah, right. Lol. Wouldn't that be nice! I've got Armor and Super Parts for both the VF-25S and F, but only one set of the Valks...been waiting for a reissue ever since... In all honesty though, that's very decent of you. I don't understand the drama on this board sometimes. Can't we all just get along!!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand the drama on this board sometimes. Can't we all just get along!!? I really wanted both sets for each but passed given the bonkers way the supply dried up last year when most of us got BBTSed on the VF-25S. Bought the super parts for the 25F since I got that one but since the likelyhood of getting a 2nd 25F for the Armor and even a single 25S at a fair price went away over night I saw no reason to have parts in a box that I'd never touch. Haha...just looked and BBTS still has armor parts for both VF-25s. Poor guys....they are never going to sell through those unless they drop then to <$50. As to the drama I agree, even though a lot of folks think I'm the cause of it. I actually did well last night. But I completely feel everyone's pain who missed out; I'm still missing the 25S, 25G. But even though I got some preorders last night I really do not want to stay up all night refreshing web pages for hours on end in hopes of being fast enough to get in a preorder during a 45 second window of time. I also don't want to have to check a webforum every day twice a day to see if there is a chance that something is going on sale or just went on sale. It's absurd and this really isn't how customers should be treated. I think we all have reason to be frustrated with the way these releases continue to be handled. And we still have the RVF, VF-27, and Vajra releases to look forward to. I made a joke in some thread a while back about the RVF already releasing and that the only people who got them had to endure a Bandai Bukakke Party and then fight Yakuza...it was just a joke like the one I made a few pages back but somehow that one avoided tinfoil hat accusations...well I'm here to say "Leave my tinfoil hat alone! It's a good hat and it doesn't mess up my hair!", lol. Though sometimes it does feel like knife fighting a Yakuza might be easier than this process...just maybe, lol.

ErikElvis Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I ordered 1 from cdjapan and 2 from NY. I may end up letting one go when the time comes. Although an Alto 171 with 3 armed to the teeth cf's would be pretty damn sweet/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Yups, i just talked with the owner Takuya of NY, he told me he is able to get more stocks for the VF-171EX Regular version thus preorders are still opened. I ordered two for myself. Whew!

Major Focker Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 since you're on speaking terms with NY's owner, maybe you could ask him to give MW a 12-hour heads up when they're about to list the RVF-25? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IXTL Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 See if he can get any of Alto's VF-25F from somewhere... He still has it.

recon Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 See if he can get any of Alto's VF-25F from somewhere... Think its rather difficult cos the VF-25F and VF-25S quantities when first released were already very limited, even he manages to get some, i think he will priced it according to the market prices given that he is a businessman. One good example is the VF-25G whom price has increased, probably an indication that either the add ons are coming soon or RVF-25 might soon be made available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Focker Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 See if he can get any of Alto's VF-25F from somewhere... i still see a few of them at local shops. didn't check the price though. i'm guessing between $250-$300 Erm i will try to but no promises cos he does not own me any favors but will ask him to give a headsup on the preorder for RVF-25 you can tell him that if he does it, i promise to treat him to all the chicken rice and bak kut teh he can eat if he ever drops by SG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
