Instead of Macross Delta for search keywords, use DX VF-31F or VF-31F. Because if you use Macross Delta, it will show all Macross Delta products. Hope that helps.

no3Ljm Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 So I transformed the 31J last night following Jenius transformation video. And how solid it is in Battroid mode. I really like all the locking tabs on the upper body area and kinda dig the swivel 'collar' part. Too bad the thigh swivel joints behind the intakes is kinda stiff so I don't want to stress it too much by moving it side to side. The only one thing I noticed overall and I'm not sure if it's just me. Did anyone noticed how crisp and thin the plastic they used for this DX Valk compared to the previous released VF-19 and from the Frontier Valks? Like it's more fragile. Like one wrong move in transformation, you will easily create a stress mark or something. Overall, I like the new gimmicks and the transformation sequence. But I really still hate the wings on the back during Battroid mode. It takes too much space in displaying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wm cheng Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Although the last pre-order the HLJ search yielded no results and it was a link provided here that led us to victory. By the time the search function displayed the proper results, the pre-order window was long gone! Just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wm cheng Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Maybe I was mixing it up with the SV-262 pre-order, I just remember my last pre-order I was madly searching for the product page on HLJ and nothing came up - luckily some kind soul here on MacrossWorld posted the direct link which I was able to get. The search result didn't return anything useful till it was all over in 15mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kept searching for it and no luck, HLJ tweeted out the link and by the time i got there it was sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiotheforsaken Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I really seemed to have lucked out on the 262 pre-order. I happened back to the boards, saw a link for AmiAmi and ordered one. I'll be curious to see if I can snag a 31 tonight. Thankfully I'm not married to having this particular version so I won't be crushed if I miss out. I feel like Nippon-Yasan generally has the longest windows but I don't think they really offer any discounts. AmiAmi seems like it's always the hardest. Never ordered from Hobby Search, but I have an account there now. So between this thread and the 4 sites I have accounts at, I'll be smacking refresh a lot this evening.

Master Dex Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) Will the preorder show on amiami.com or do I need to go to amiami.jp? I hope to get it through HLJ because they are the only ones I am familiar with, but I'll take what I can get. EDIT: Looks like it doesn't matter. So I'm gonna have tabs open for the 4 mentioned sites, and I'll schedule my sleep accordingly, heh. First time doing pre-order madness. I was going to for the Draken but I missed it due to work (at the time I was overseas, now I'm back in EST), but later got lucky and got a preorder of a 262 when it reopened once thanks to a notice here. I hope even if I don't get it tonight similar stuff might happen again. Edited January 5, 2017 by Master Dex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I just happened to search this thread today, after a long time. Glad I did. I'll be on all the sites for one. They seem to be making a higher number of these than with the Frontier valks at first release, so that's a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it always varies between HobbySearch and AmiAmi They're the ones who always have low prices compared to HLJ, CDJapan and Nippon-Yasan during preorder. As of now, there's no way of telling unless we see all the place holders first before we can compare. And all the time, prices doesn't matter during PO night. What matters is if you'll be able to secure atleast one out of all those online shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do any of you know what the application is called for Firefox? You can try Distill Web Monitor. It used to be called Alertbox. You can monitor the whole page or specific elements of a page and set a refresh rate too, I believe. I haven't used it since the time it was called Alertbox so I'm not sure what they've changed.

zaino Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Could be worse, could be taco bell. Correct me if I am wrong but didnt NY open preorders on the 31J at 25000? Can we expect the same with the 31F? I find it interesting that NY still claims to have stock on 31Js for 25000. Are people just that picky with prices?
