My Nexx is combined order with the ET Legioss Jota...will be a while before I see it. I wish they'd do static ships in another line. Ghosts, fan racer, lancer 2, gnerl, other non-transforming fighters. No, the top image is from the Evolution Toys figure. The Hi-Metal only comes with the one pilot figure.

Sanity is Optional Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 NY's got Nexx up for sale, but they bumped the price to ¥13,500. Based on Sylvie's VF-2, I'd advise against buying any at that price, NY will lower it eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a third at AmiAmi, so I guess maybe 1 will have to do.....I went ahead and opened the ticket to see what they say....I'm guessing they may not want to pass up the opportunity to jack up the price on both of them considering all of the VF-31A's they have had to sell in the past year at below current market prices.....Never Surrender Macross World!!! I will buy them from NY if "mine" get listed on their site at the original PO price...otherwise, they can keep them! just curious, are you have another pre-order form NY? did they cancel all your unpaid pre-order if you miss one?

Yes. Nothing has been cancelled. I have also cancelled some orders in the past. I guess it all depends on the amount of purchases vs cancellations. At this point, I mainly just use them for web exclusives I cannot source elsewhere. They have not been my go-to retailer for some time. I usually go with HLJ or AE due to their extended "storage" policies and customer service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, officially that 'photochopping' term is more for the DX VF/YF-19. And to be honest, seeing the above picture reminds me of the YF-29 30th Version with a different canopy color. And I have to say, I DO like the color they used in their marketing photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HLJ released it exactly on time though. Release date for the VF-2SS Nexx was November 10th. Their stock roll-over happens right at around midnight their time, then around 5-6 in the morning their time the payment requests/charges go out. That's just how they do things, in my experience that's how they've done things for a while. They broke it for the October 27th Bandai stuff for some reason, with it all going live a day earlier than it was supposed to, but in general they keep to release date.
