Looks like selling out now slowly - Mykombini opened but never saw the late - that 50% only deposit would've been nice. Ordered immediately at A-E after seeing the P-Bandai site sold out. Have you secured yours, if yes, from a proxy? My proxy was too slow to order them from the P-Bandai site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I’ll definitely get 1 set of TV Super Parts when they are released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you secured yours, if yes, from a proxy? My proxy was too slow to order them from the P-Bandai site Yeah , I went with 2 proxy’s this time just incase one fail on me as it does happen on high demand items like metal builds. One win , one fail . So all is good . also p Bandai will probably have some kind of update on that sold out item page sometimes in the next couple of days since it was over the weekend. Should both of my proxy failed , I would’ve jump on Biginjapan and n-y, or a-E. That way I will be cover if either over sold . But Biginjapan have always been a sure win for me . And if I were to get a couple from n-y I would ship each individually since they don’t offer much saving on combine orders and should the package gets lost , I will not lose everything unless all separated packages gets lost , lol .

Gwynne Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I just ordered 2 strike part sets. Maybe i'll order two more in a few weeks. Worse comes to worse I just sell them to one of you guys later on down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that the price (especially MSRP) asked for these toys are very reasonable, given the effort involved in producing them. Feel bad if low paying labour are involved to reduce the price.

Atomski Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Got my missile set in Saturday from NY. Still haven't tried to add them to the VF-1J yet. Later this week... I decided to go ahead and pay for 1 strike set at NY for now. Going to hold off on pre-ordering either the Max or Hikaru upcoming valks. I'll take my chances release day for those guys.

I've yet to see any indications of removable leg or missile pod covers in these pictures. Hopefully that wasn't a red herring in the schematic display.

apptt4 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 is this the first time anyone has seen a TWE sell-out in stores? only been collecting a year and haven't read any discussion about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesXavier Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 They are sold out cos it is sold out on the Bandai official site. Surprised that they are sold out so fast though since the official PO is opened just 3 days ago. Must be a lot of proxies snapping them up. Usually when this happens you can expect to see a round of POs with a 2nd batch releasing at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything after is just stores selling what’re stock they were able to get from p-Bandai in those hours . Many are waiting for the usual 2nd batch announcements. Even the proxy stores , haha.

I am pretty sure the Japanese domestic collectors will be complaining so Bandai will pacify them and come up with a round 2 PO. We should see it open again by mid June, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave IV Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 LOL, looks like my plan of ordering a couple months from now might be shot. No worries still, they already announced another batch so I guess I'll order sooner if it comes back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db626 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Thx for heads up guys. Ordered the last strike set on eBay (for now) for 117 shipped. Like the post prior at 500 plus for “complete” setup it’s quite xpensive . Maybe the Hikaru one will just have to suffice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do , it will just be for the strike packs because it’s twe p-Bandai and they do 2nd batches here and there . The valk was a standard release, so it will be a no for now .
