Bandai DX Chogokin 1/48 VF-1

[spacemanoeuvres]

I'm all logged in and have my alarm set. 

Emotionally prepared for maximum disappointment when I don't actually secure a pre-order

Lol..dude..same here...Im hoping for the best.

[spanner]

even though I'd get back from work about 3 hours before the madness is scheduled to start, I took the whole day off anyways so I could mentally prepare myself for the possible disappointment. 

Fingers crossed we all manage to secure what we are all wanting.

[Tober]

Has it been pre-listed on any sites yet? Like on Amiami saying orders opening soon..

[derex3592]

My thoughts for this pre-order???.....

is staying on 'vf-1j' search results pages, and refreshing not a good strategy...?

if you are referring to HLJ, use advance search, normal search wont yield new items.

hobbysearch and amiami has placeholder for items

 

Best bet is usually monitor this thread.

 

 

[orbitalharvest]

cool, thanks! ~nervously wringing hands...

[derex3592]

See you guys and girl @Shizuka the Cat in 3 hours. 

[windcloud]

Please let me know how you can locate the placeholders for hobbysearch and amiami.com, thank you.  I searched everywhere but couldn't find those placeholders. thanks.

[orindlt]

I can see it when I search no Ami, but when I click on the link from the search (https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-041234) nothing comes up

[orindlt]

Here is the search query for Ami https://www.amiami.com/eng/search/list/?s_keywords=bandai 1j

What sites are you going waiting to buy from?

[davidwhangchoi]

will this have rick hunter tv helmet?

[tjdetweiler]

wow 16K yen!!! Very very nice price indeed!!!!!!

[Ipsquitch]

From the Amiami listing:

Sales Period Jul 27, 2018, 02:00 ～ Japan Time

 

Does that mean it goes on sale at 2pm Japan time, or is the website smart enough to tell you when it goes on sale in your time zone?

true but considering how fast the ami listings sell out I'm sure most of us won't get it for that price.. but who knows what other stores will list it for.

I'm sure NY will undercut most other stores.

Max 2 at ami-ami....hmmmmm....perhaps this won't be as maddening as it seems....

i hope so

 

[jvmacross]

Dunno...it seems max 1 usually means not enough to go around....allowing 2 would seem they are getting a big allotment....not every one wants doubles

[jvmacross]

HLJ will probably still be max 1....and hopefully my 3rd

[tjdetweiler]

We will find out in 3 hours time

[NW86]

I would love just one!  If i can get two and my buddies are covered..happy to pass on at cost.

[davidwhangchoi]

why is this 16,480?

 

[davidwhangchoi]

this is 1/48 and has all the tampo for so cheap, what happened to the arcadia rising prices argument....

[spanner]

If I can only score one at a good price now then I can always get another two in Dec/Jan so I'm not overly concerned.

Maybe NY will offer max 3 per customer?

I asked myself the very same question.. Could it be its going to be very a very cheaply built pile of crap and a huge cash grab for Bandai!?

[windcloud]

[davidwhangchoi]

i think Bandai is going to absolutely undercut all Arcadia sales.

Bandai is back in the DX VF-1 game...like a boss!

Showing 17:00 JPN time on my listing

[Alex GS]

I think Bandai will do plenty for this one, look at AmiAmi max quantity, you can get two!, is definitely a good news
