SaitouSad Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 HLJ is up for preorder but it says 'June restock' at the top. http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN980713/Sci Reissue I guess. I'm guessing these are the leftovers from cancelled orders.. Already have 1 in the warehouse... *must not buy another.. must not buy another...that green is not nice...* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ff95gj Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 It appears that Bandai is preparing a second shipment... Otacute is receiving their units on June 28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grymg Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I grabbed one from hlj, but lately for some backorders they haven't been pulling through for me. We'll see about this one. Great price too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sil80jdm Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 So glad I cancelled my ny marked up and got lucky with this... Thanks neo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrentonx Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Nice! I picked one up from HLJ when they briefly posted it up last night. Checked earlier and it's in my private warehouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaitouSad Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I hope this means we'll see an overall increased production run for these things, and for the whole Frontier line in general.While I'm happy with just one RVF25, I'd hope to secure 3 x 25S down the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 WHEW...finally. I'm just going to cancel my order at Hobbyfan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grymg Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 So glad I cancelled my ny marked up and got lucky with this... Thanks neo! Yeah, take that NY =) If it goes through (hopefully by the 28th), I'm going to cancel my NY VF-25F preorder and try the waiting game with that one as well . . . my lock in was way marked up at $200 anyway. Hopefully this is a trend. Would like to get an Ozma somewhere down the line as well, without having to stay up all night F5'ing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 let's go get em! looks like Bandai seemly printed more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ff95gj Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hopefully this means that Bandai has finally adjusted the production quantity to the demand of Macross F DX toys.This means no more sleepless nights for us... I might grab an extra VF-25F if the price is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikos0311 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Awesome!!! Glad for all you guys who got some of the HLJ piece of the pie!! lol Lets see if we can get everyone happy now!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaitouSad Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 it's funny, what a love hate relationship we have with NY...We love them for being a go to place in the event we are unable to secure a valk, and hate them for the mark up...I'm guessing all these cancellation will soon translate to a RVF-25 sale?

This means no more sleepless nights for us... I might grab an extra VF-25F if the price is right. hlj doesn't really restock Bandai frontiers so this is indeed a good sign. These are not cancelled pre-orders that show up randomly like last night. June Restock means they're getting more from the distributors!!! yay!!

neoexcaliber Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Looks like RVF-25 will be as easy to obtain as the VF-171 CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY said NO to me as it was already in the "Preparation" status. P.S. I wanted to cancel it more because of the delay, not for the price. I knew it was a bet when I paid.

Valk-1S Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Up at Hobby Search with a better price than HLJ. However, shipping discount from HLJ covers the cost diffrence in EMS given that HLJ gets a discount for EMS shipping. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10218093 Edited June 19, 2013 by Valk-1S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erikos0311 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 NY said NO to me as it was already in the "Preparation" status. yeah, they told me the same thing, but i just kept emailing them back with reasons and stating that i got it cheaper form somewhere else, and after a whole day of back and forth, they gave in and refunded me my cash, but it took a bit to see it back in my bank.

I knew it was a bet when I paid. I want to cancel because of their poor communication after sending me a cryptic email saying I owed them more money. if they don't want to give me my money back then I'll just take it up with paypal and/or my bank.

Valk-1S Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 NY wouldn't get more cancellations if they ship them promptly. Some of these cancellations are coming from people who recently managed to secure one in the last couple of days. Makes you think whether you should cancel the VF-25F now given the mark up was soo high with NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be more insistent. Well, they shipped my order today, so I have no complaints now. Glad for people who managed to make a more reasonable deal. Cheers guys!

anime52k8 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the link! Just ordered one. EMS Shipping Cost :3,200yen Total cost 15,800 yen HLJ's estimate is 2660 for EMS so 15,960. Just over a buck and a half isn't that big a deal IMO. BTW, NY's office hours end in about 45 minutes, hopefully they get back to me tonight.

I guess if you use SAL, then you will save more with Hobby Search given both HLJ and Hobby Search shipping cost for SAL are the same.
