mechaninac Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 ..after threat of legal action Play-Asia officially cancelled my order (after I did it from their website three times) and credited back my credit card. I've said it before and I'll say it again, and I'll keep repeating it until it sinks in for everyone: Play-Asia should be avoided like the plague; the kind of stunt they pull with these pre-orders is beyond underhanded... it's borderline dishonest, definitely unsavory, and truly bad business practice.

no3Ljm Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Has anybody who ordered from NY received a shipping notice yet? They shipped mine last Friday, the 19th. It's on Eco Registered so probably this Friday or next Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dio Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 My HLJ order (from the secure link) is still in my account listed as "Processing," but no payment notice or anything yet. The preview image from the item went away like they had taken it down as well. Not sure if I should be optimistic or pessimistic at this point, so I'll continue waiting. For reference, mine was ordered solo (no private warehouse or other items, ship immediately) on Saturday afternoon right before I posted last. I think I might have been one of the later orderers, but this would be my one and only VF-19Adv from them (or anyone else, for that matter).

And I guess, this time they're filtering out all orders who ordered multiples. Let's hope that your single order went thru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentCrossHairs Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Too rich for my blood at $223.16. Especially since I already have the Arcadia YF-19 and Isamu YF-29. I'll just wait for a price drop.

Plasticgoose Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Curious, was the hlj secure link the default link if you searched for the item on hlj or was it something dackdoor special? Just askiing because I had this happen once before because it was listed under a different model number. I think hlj coded the link wrong at the time of my previous experience so search in for the actual item came up with nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think hlj coded the link wrong at the time of my previous experience so search in for the actual item came up with nothing. Actually, they have the same code number on both links. BAN992012. It's just that the secure link has 's' on http. So one http:// and one https://. But the rest of the URL address and item number are the same.I'm still considering getting a 4th (2nd one for myself) but will see what i think of it when i get home from work tonight.. Its good to know NY still offering them. I dont mind paying the higher post release price if i feel the Valk is worth it. Me too, spanner. I'm just waiting for mine to answer all my questions. Last tracking I have from my HLJ order it went out of SF custom. Hope it will arrive at my workplace tomorrow. My NY order has Eco Registered so probably I will get it this Friday or Monday.

Guyffon Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I don't have the aracadia one, but I am pleasently surprised that they had the missle in the leg too, too bad i dun think u can open it with the ser packs on, have yet to play with the super packs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen on some photos from the link that was posted here. And the peg of the Super Packs is attached to the missle bay door itself. Not like with the Arcadia's.

eggy99 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'm wondering why there are hard points on the wings if no missles are included. Attach from other releases? I only have the VF-25A MP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering why there are hard points on the wings if no missles are included. Attach from other releases? I only have the VF-25A MP. So Bandai can eventually sell optional missile packs.

Guyffon Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) As for the cockpit, i think it is because this is a Vf-19A and not a Yf-19, thus having a standard cockpit, anyway, my cockpit comes off very easily when opening it, as in it will slide off completely, anyone has that problem. Lastly, one of my wings took a lot of force to get it out, so be careful of that, the peg in the leg seems extra tight on mine. I love the satin finish it has, same with the Yf-30 Edited June 23, 2015 by Guyffon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Only the *YF-19* canopy hinges forward. All other variants, from the earliest VF-19A through the VF-19S, open "normally". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Not a fan of the forward opening canopy at all.. i think I've only ever opened it once on my YF-19 to fit the pilot figure in.. the F-35 JSF does the same i think.. icky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F360 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 So whats the verdict guys? is this or arcadia 19 better?Well the Arcadia is also more $$$ too , around $85 more . So for price point and what you get ......Bandai is the better buy for me. But a better buy right now doesn't automatically mean winner since I love the Arcadia 19 too . Can't decide? Get both , problem solved. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 HLJ cancelled my second yf-19 but didnt suspend my account. Thing is i think i screwed myself. I didnt know about the limit (why does the website allow you to order more than the limit?). They sent me the invoice for two, should've paid it then. Unfortunately lost my visa card and am waiting for a replacement so i asked for an extension to to pay to when my new card shows up. Then i get a payment request minus one yf-19. Should've stayed under the radar and not have give them a reason to look at my order. Though its kinda of a severe responds to suspend account for anorder liit that they're system should prevent you from doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinjizh Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) I am the one guy who like YF-19 more than Macross world/story, so not post a lot in this forum. Because I don't like the original booster installation form in battroid, I try Acrcadia ver. booster installation form. It looks like Bandai ver.could do it well.

neoexcaliber Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I got a reply from HLJ regarding the secure link. Seems like it was indeed a bug. Here's what they wrote to me: "Stock was not allocated to orders placed using the "secure.hlj.com" link you mentioned, because there was no stock to allocate. Only a few of the orders placed using the "secure.hlj.com" link were filled, and then only when customers cancelled orders placed earlier."
