Chronocidal Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Do we know how many different items are actually going up for sale tonight? I'd assume that confirms the VF-0A, but do we have any idea if the YF-21 and VT-1 could be dropping as well, or will those be later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froy Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) Card on the YF-21 display read "summer 2024" I assume it gotta be latte summer. Preorder for that one might be on april-may next year. Given it is 6 month for preorder-release date for the VF-0A Edited November 30, 2023 by Froy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borgified Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 @Froy - You read my mind as I was about to replay the same as you. It take 5/6 months for the final render of a DX to be officially released into the mass market if I'm not mistaken. The DX YF-21 is to be out next summer, so maybe January of next year (or a Christmas Eve/Boxing day pre-order of this year? It has happened before IIRC) ??

The DX VT-1 was 'Display Only' and there was no official announcement of a release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I wondered about mostly. I kind of hope that one just shows up as a web exclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) And.. Gone. Yeah, uh.. HLJ is not even useful for any of these orders now. Gone in an instant. Got two at Anime Export and Hobbi Genki though, so hopefully those both come through. https://anime-export.com/index.php?product=74884 Edited December 1, 2023 by Chronocidal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh9000 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Ordered 1 at HLJ and 2 at Nin-Nin. Both stores had the cheapest prices combined. Got my 3. Good night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolicon Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Got one at HLJ. Learned my lesson from previous releases and will just nab another when they're inevitably discounted shortly after release like the 0S and 0D on Mandarake or Amazon.

MKT Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Nin-nin is surprisingly the cheapest this time, and by quite a fair margin. Tyring them out for the very first time, despite some not too good feedback from others. If anything goes wrong, there should be no problem picking up another copy elsewhere on release.

How much are their shipping usually? Sometimes product is cheap but shipping is expensive..haven’t tried them before so maybe their shipping is indeed cheap too..

Lolicon Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 It's about 7 bucks cheaper than HLJ before shipping. But I prefer to buy from HLJ because of PW combined shipping, which more than offsets the price difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes product is cheap but shipping is expensive..haven’t tried them before so maybe their shipping is indeed cheap too.. No experience with them before, but from the PO just now, the quoted shipping looks pretty reasonable for my imagined package size. Hence, now I understand why others have reported why Nin-nin sometimes ask for extra shipping if the actual item turned out to be heavier than expected. Hobby-Genki on other hand, turned out to be opposite in a way. For one of the PO’s, they appeared to have put in a very large margin for error in estimated weight, & consequently quoted me an insane shipping rate. I went with private warehouse, and so upon release, the actual shipping tuned out to be effectively near half of what was quoted earlier. I’m not sure if they will refund shipping cost differences between actual & during PO if one paid at that time. Anyway, both Nin-nin & Hobby Genki offer private warehouse option so that should always be the choice even for single item orders.

There is still the possibility of a person cancelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
