Moosey Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I wish you all the best of luck in your pursuit of Keith's 262. I won't be joining you this time. (saving my beans for a regular -262 and a -31A (hope hope hope)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 YES! This will absolutely work for me. I'm off this Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Good luck to all who are going to go in for this mayhem and chaos!! I applaud your efforts! I'll just be sleeping!

Mommar Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) Good luck to all who are going to go in for this mayhem and chaos!! I applaud your efforts! I'll just be sleeping! I'll enjoy reading the aftermath! I'm betting less than 3 minutes. I don't know, it took around 20 minutes for the 31 to finally sell out (yes it did, I pre-orderd mine at minute fifteen) and I'm not at all convinced Keith is any sort of big draw as a character. Maybe just because it's a new, unique Valk, but is that as big a thing for the Japanese (or anyone else on the planet) as it is for we few and insane Macross fanatics?

I was hitting F5 constantly and right at 4 pm jst, it stalled for a moment and was sold out by the time it loaded...less than a min. Unless you mean at one of the sites that opened their orders later (which is where I ended up getting one from). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IXTL Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 The Tamashii product page indicates that the set will come with an interchangeable clear cockpit canopy (like the VF-27). It does not mention it coming with a sword but then again it also omits the gunpod from the list of contents. ■セット内容・本体・交換用手首左右各3種・パイロットフィギュア・交換用クリアキャノピー・専用台座 Translation ■Set contents・Main figure・Interchangeable hands 3 types・Pilot figure・Interchangeable use clear canopy・Display stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluprinT Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 what site should i be looking for the pre-order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 what site should i be looking for the pre-order? Given how fast things sell out and the prevalence of cart jacking, I'd say all of them in multiple browser tabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave IV Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Given how fast things sell out and the prevalence of cart jacking, I'd say all of them in multiple browser tabs. This I was checking 3-4 sites and got screwed on all of them even though I was refreshing right at 4. I think it wasn't until later when a 5th or 6th site opened their orders did I get the 31j. And even then, barely because it was also sold out after my order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 To this day, I have never gotten a successful preorder in at Amiami for any Bandai DX release on the preorder start date. And I'm there refreshing the page at 4 pm like everyone else. But I've always managed to get an order in somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 I have a feeling ami and HS pre-allocates their stock to the locals beforehand. That or either the JP site version runs much faster and a min or so earlier than the engrish version. Anyway thats the conspiracy trip for the day..

Slave IV Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Gonna be fun. Hope nobody goes livid again on TFW. Lol, I was one of those who was freaking out. It was my first time trying to preorder a DX Figure. Did that fiasco have something to do with your departure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Dex Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I could do this at work... I've never done preorder madness though... not sure.. but... can't hurt to try maybe.

Lolicon Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Loopaza pre order page is already open: https://www.loopaza.com/dx-chogokin-macross-delta-sv-262hs-draken-iii-keith-aero-windermere-custom.html $270 with shipping for me. Might be worth it for those wishing to skip preorder madness later this week, but I'll take my chances. That's just too high for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linitrofe Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Legit? Well... The subject was talked during 31J preorder madness. One guy (I can't recall his name) went to the physical address in HK and it's a legit store but other than that we don't know much more BTW Loopaza has DHL shipment options. For me it was USD 58 (Chile) which is as expensive as some shipment options from NY or HLJ. Also on the 31J preorder madness they also opened their store one or two days before the rest.

seti88 Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Thanks for the information, its very good to know beforehand. It will help to decide if i want to go down that route!

MAC-X Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I'm just finish setting my alarm and calendar. They better not have the metal build preordering on that same day. You mean the F91?

Heatwave Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 After the final episode of Delta, I'm seriously tempted to not bother with pre-ordering this. If I manage to get a pre-order I could always cancel later, so there's that. But right now I'm just super bummed out about how bad the series ended up being.

F360 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 You mean the F91? Or is there something else I missed out on? Yeah , the next ones is suppose to be the f91 , but I just don't want metal build and macross stuff to hit the same preorder date. It makes preorder much harder like what happened on the vf31j and metal build blue frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedas Bike Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Yeah , the next ones is suppose to be the f91 , but I just don't want metal build and macross stuff to hit the same preorder date. It makes preorder much harder like what happened on the vf31j and metal build blue frame. It's not, the re-issue or whatever of the Metal Composite RX78-02 is tomorrow (Friday morning) but the MB F91 pre-order date hasn't been announced yet. And good luck to those that want this one, I'll be catching ZzzZZzz's. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 so.. this Friday 4pm Japan time for pre-orders yes? here we go again.. Nice. This time, I'll join you guys.
