Still find it crazy to go through this torture every time. Not only NY were late with the listing, and seems they only had a tiny allocated amount?

Yes its a crazy situation. I think its even crazier for the MB gundams. As for the 19, AE's listing was less than a minute, with NY a close second. Its hard to say how much was allocated, some sites have more eyeballs on them then others...

I got the email not too long after ordering. Maybe its in your spam? However if its in your history, you shouldn't need to worry as much if it wasnt..

I think i got one from cd-japan. Got the confirmation email but not the paypal email confirming the payment. Do they do like a pre-charge on your card and only when the item is shipped they take the money? It's been a while since i ordered from them.

if you go down the credit card route, yes its only charged when shipped. However you might get a zero rate pre-charge just to confirm your card works.

However if you use paypal, then its charged even for pre-orders

I assumed you checked your spam and such? My order crashed as I was on the payment page. Couldn't F5, nothing, when the site was next up, it was sold out...funny I didn't pull out a hammer on my PC, first thought "whatever...have enough YF-19s as it is anyway".  A sign it wasn't really a necessary purchase for me....But in typical fashion, when you don't care...I got the confirmation mail etc.

I mean if it's in your order history, no reason why it wouldn't have gone through. You have an order number etc, so it's been ordered.

Was interested for the missiles and fold booster alone. Unfortunately couldn't make the time work due to.movingnhouse and driving during pre-order madness. And as much as I'd like to have it, the cd Japan shipping quote scares me away. Oh well, guess I didn't want it quite that badly.

I wonder why it was so easy?

  • Bandai gave out more stock?
  • People already have the VF-19ADV and aren't interested?
  • 5amEST/2amPST means less competition?

Probably some of that along with the high price and Macross Plus is a really old show that was way more popular outside Japan than in.

It's kinda weird then since i did use paypal but i did not get any email confirmation from them as i usually do(only the confirmation order from cdjapan). And i know for sure i have funds available. I will have to double check with them then. Thank you for the reply.

oh well, I think that's if for now.

I think I got one at Ami Ami, CDJ, HLJ, and NY.

Will probable cancel at CDJ and/or HLJ once I'm sure my other orders are secured.

Holy cow. One for each mode and one for spare?

Haha I’ll only keep two of them. One to open and one to keep MISB. I will cancel at HLJ and keep one extra JIC one of the retailers doesn’t come through (*cough* NY *cough*) :lol:

Probably not an issue with this group, but I'm up for buying a few sets of the missiles from those that feel they were an unnecessary price increaser for this release.

You’re probably right. The accessories are actually a big selling point with most buyers on MWF. Good luck securing extras though :)

The metal build Po happening at the same time diverted some attention away?

This was my first non-TWE pre-order for a bandai DX valk, and I thought it was tough already with all the crashes, errors, hlj order chaos etc. Can't imagine what it was like when people pre-ordered the VF-30 or 31.:rolleyes:

I'm assuming this went on sale last night?  And by the time I check this in the morning it is sold out practically everywhere (save Loopaza which I don't know their reputation above).  I think your definition of "easy" has been normalized.  I'm okay with it, because I don't really need another 19 (I have several from Yamato).  If after it comes out the reviews are good I might pick it up after the fact, but I'm okay if I missed out.  However if I wanted to get one right now, my choices are very limited.  To me, easy would be the preorder is open for a few weeks before closing down and anyone that wants one doesn't have to get up at 4AM and rapidly hit refresh in order to secure one (and then see NY not deliver - not bitter, no not at all))

Thanks to you and a few others who made the effort to post live links as soon as they came up earlier today.  I snagged the HLJ order because I saw the link here at 4:56am Eastern.

Great, I get up at 8am and in 3 FREAKING HOURS it is sold out everywhere.  FML...Is there anywhere or anyone who has them for sale still?  

Please see the post above - Loopaza still has it at a slight premium of $269.99 USD.

well I paid more then I should have but I ended up snagging one.   Let's hope they make a YF-21 next.  

I hope they do.  I'm very late in the game and would like to expand my collection beyond just VF-1's.

Also, you can keep hitting up the yf-19 listing on hlj. As people cancel their preorders (it always happens) it will briefly become available again but you have to catch it at the right time
