Loop Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I am always scared to miss out on at least getting 1, so I pre-order. I am seriously thinking about a second, but will wait and see, not like I really need it lol. I wonder if this will be all that popular though with random sites still able to take in pre-orders.

mechaninac Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Alternate color schemes? I'm fairly positive that is a certainty. They have to amortize all that tooling and all; just look at all the YF-29s to get an idea where this is going... I hope.

ULessa Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Just try to remember how much the Alto YF-29 costs in comparison to the rest of the repaints. The original may be something worth getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like we still have yet to get repaints for the "renewal" VF-27y. Maybe they got scared of repainting it due to the bad sales, I guess.

They have to amortize all that tooling and all; just look at all the YF-29s to get an idea where this is going... I hope. I would certainly hope so too but like the VF-25 range for example having multiple characters piloting the type ie Alto, Ozma, Luca, Michael etc, does the YF-30 have any additional characters to justify additional repaints? I guess cannon fodder colors and alternate prototype paints like the YF-19 Double Nuts & Bird of Prey are more likely or easier to pull off for Bandai if they chose to yes?? To apologize in advance if this has already been covered and.. I haven't played the Macross 30 game at all either so I wouldn't know any further details regarding the or any story line behind Macross 30 or the YF-30..

Loop Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I hope they do repaints, I usually squad build but would hate to do that with a bunch of the same schemes unless they are CF schemes. I wish they had variants on the YF-30, like D/A/J/S or A/F/S/G/RVF??. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrentonx Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) I think there are only two variants, a black and purple one and another one that is a lot more red.

Think I made the right choice to go with the original (assuming that they will follow the games variants).

SaitouSad Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Wait wtf. I thought that CDJapan only takes your money when it ships. Wtf is this. Only if you're paying via Credit Card. If you selected Paypal, I'm fairly sure you pay immediately. Also, worry not, you can still cancel it. But you gotta write to them to do so.

Scyla Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) I think someone said the take the money immediately when paying with PayPal. If you order with credit card as payment method they will claim the money when the item is ready to ship. This is what is written on their website: Source: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/guide/help/faq/faq_credit_debit_cards Credit Cards When you place the order, we will make an authorization request which may appear on the online account details as a pending charge. The official charge will be made after the package ships out, usually within 1-2 weeks from the shipping date. If you pre-order an item, you will not be charged until the item is released. However you will need to have the total amount in your account in order to receive authorization. Debit Cards Debit cards are processed when the order is placed.

ULessa Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) EDIT: Ah crap. So they do have a difference in Credit/ Debit payments. Dammit... EDIT 2: Do you guys think it'll be possible to cancel all 3 of my orders (its separate) and let them combine it into 1 shipment? Kinda thinking about using EMS instead of Registered SAL Edited June 11, 2014 by ULessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Might be possible. You should check the FaQs on the CD Japan site and contact their customer support which is available in English I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
