You can get one on Okini for a couple bucks less right now. Yeah, I made this preorder with the thought that it might be more expensive than most opening night preorders, but I wanted a backup. That opening night frenzy was real and I figured it would be good to have to pay a bit more rather than pay hundreds more. Turns out, I don't need it so I can cancel with nothing lost. Worked out well for me, I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they will hit eBay soon enough hah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Just got mine for Okini, ordered on 21st.. paid a little more as I missed ore orders.. but I must say the shipping was super fast by fedex. Now all I need is the kakizaki to complete my dx collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketblast Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) In-stock at Bombusbee: https://www.bombusbee.net/-p2641.html I highly recommend this seller. Shipping is only a little tiny bit high. I expected it to be a lot more from what I read in this forum. They have 24 units in stock. 40 minutes ago, Marauder said: Just got mine for Okini, ordered on 21st.. paid a little more as I missed ore orders.. but I must say the shipping was super fast by fedex.

Lolicon Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 GBP set from HLJ already out for delivery. That was fast! Naturally, the day after I ship my entire PW, a RG kit that's been backordered for months entered my warehouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also ordered two sets from Nin-Nin (completed order in late April). No message yet but I'm not worried. There were two orders for the TWE armor only. We might just be in the second group and will have to wait a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Sauce Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Ordered my combo set from Okiniland. Should be here on Thursday according to DHL shipping.

Anasazi37 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 My combo set from AJ arrived today. That was fast! AJ didn't do the best packing job, though, so it bounced around inside the shipping box and one of the corners got crushed. Nothing like the "tossed in a plastic shipping bag" damage that others here have had with AJ in the past, so I'm not complaining. Could have been much worse.

Lolicon Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Combo set arrived! I'm moving this weekend so won't open it till I'm at my new house.

leeboo1211 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Armor set from Big in Japan arrived today, Kurama toys sent it out yesterday. Still no peep from Nin-Nin on the combo set. I do feel this time the preordered prices were slightly higher than finding it at release, as we're seeing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wm cheng Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 So the double set (both VF-1J and Armored parts) came out before just the Armored parts set? or did both come out at the same time and my just Armored parts set is delayed to October because NY screwed me and dumped me to the 2nd issue?

I forget the release date, but it must be over 6 months from the order date. I am worried now seeing your experience. Did they refuse refund when they could not get the item? I had an order for the armor set 1st batch, it arrived the 27th Japan time to Dejapan warehouse, they shipped today to my EMS, hopefully you will have same experience as me.

sh9000 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 My Armored Valkyrie from Okiniland shipped yesterday. There was no email about it so I checked the shipping status in my account.

eggy99 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I’m still waiting for surface mail shipping confirmation from HLJ, but it was bundled with lots of stuff. Worse are the strikes around AU shipping ports so that’s going to put a big backlog on surface mail imports… I bet I don’t see my package until after NY.
