Nice score I definitely would have picked one up at that price. What other retailers are likely to carry the kai?

Man, this one I cannot resist. Unfortunately, I missed the CDJ pre-orders for the 31j Kai. Did they ask for payment upfront?

I hope NY puts this up as well, with an option to pay later. My wallet is also reeling from recent purchases and upfront payments.

Thanks for the offer, but I was never able to get complete squadrons, or doubles for other Macross shows as I was a broke student or starting out in my career back in the day.  Going for broke with Delta lol.

Can't be sure if they asked for upfront payment, as my Bandai Pre Order Madness training kicked in.

On CDJ I noticed if you pay upfront there are less steps in processing your order, hence I always prepay on CDJ to make sure I secure my pre order, as every second counts.  

G/L on finding your copy.

I really want a Kairos, but I can't spend any more money on Valks this month. I already have a VF-31C and an SV-262Hs w/Lil'Draken set that hopefully arrive today.

[Bahamutzyro]

So if this is s lottery, will we able to order?

[treatment]

btw, VF-31A Kairos is back up on CDJ:

The shipping notices in question are from NY. Took them almost 2 weeks to ship...

[Slave IV]

Waiting 2 weeks more for something I never had and will always have once it arrives is insignificant compared to the power of the force....

FIWIW, mine shipped out last week.

No worries. I just offered my help since you wanted more VF-31A Kairos.

I'm no P-Bandai expert but I guess if you have local address in Japan, maybe.

Oh god is that the v1 VF-25.  Forgot how ugly that thing is, especially standing next to all the pretties.

[Sildani]

We need a translation, now. 

[seti88]

No time to watch this now, but i hope there would be translations as sildani said...

[Saburo]

Watched the video, its cool.  I watched it a 2nd time with the Youtube close captioning auto translating to English on.   Youtube needs to work on the translation.  "Wrapped their opponents with a what!?" lol

Oh no. Major disappointment. Hope that bandai will release the kai ver as an p bandai exclusive item later as i really want to get one due to fact i never bought the initial VF-31J

Sorry to hear that @Graham, I was wondering what happened.

The product page on CDJ has been removed. 

[Lolicon]

Oh that sucks big time. 

Glad I didn't sell my BIJ preorder.

Here's the email I received from CD Japan today.

I guess they jumped the gun by offerring it.

[brouken]

Wow, I was wondering why the CDJ page for the 31 kai was removed. And I had put on an alert in figinstock too. 

Oh well. If NY is not selling the Kai, then I can give it a grudging pass. More money to pay for the 31E and 31S.

Out of curiosity, how much was it in BIJ shipped? Too lazy to search past posts.

[F360]

that kinda sucks. 

it's possible that CDjapan opened the preorder 1 day ahead by mistake.  And somehow decides to cancel all preorders and start over at the correct time/date

because officially the pre order "Start accepting reservations : October 11, 2017, 19 o'clock JST)  Which is about 5 hours and 20 minutes  from now. 

so it is kinda unobtainable since it's not officially open for preorder yet?.   they do seem pretty strict on dates from the listing of pre orders to mailing out their preorder items on release date.

Checked once I saw this, and yup got a double whammy.  They canceled my VF-31J Kai and my MB F91 Harrison.  

But already got a refund notification from Paypal, so it's A OK, they just saved me $500.  Will probably pick up another VF-31A to help with the pain of cancellation. 

Was looking forward to the 31J Kai too, it was starting to grow on me.  Also the orders were completely deleted from my history too.

35700 shipped for me. They better deliver on it too, since they required payment upfront. 

And here I thought I could get through a whole month without having to pay for a single preorder.

At that price, I don't mind missing out on this one one bit.
