autoNamed Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 With all the uncertainty around fixes I’m so glad I didn’t preorder Mirage. If it is fixed I’ll grab one aftermarket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Hmm... a few days before April, and yet, not even one in-the-wild sighting of mirage? What's going on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borgified Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I think we're getting it within latter April/and few weeks of May @seti88 if I understand correctly. What I don't get is why in the hell the pics of an actual copy of Bogue's 31ax got shown before Mirage's mold?? It is because the Jenius family hogs the spotlight too much and Bandai decides to show a annoying Windermere Ariel knight for just spite us all?

Normally the shops would have it on the 2-3rd week of the release month, and if we buffer, lets say 1 and a half weeks, for packing and distribution leadtime? Shouldn't the final mirage releases be available to marketing now? Not to mention updating the boxart if her colors are the issue, that would need printing time...

Thinking if bandai aren't confident/done(?) on fixes to display mirage by now, is she even gonna make it in time for an april release.

borgified Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Seriously guys… Don’t trust Bandai on release dates as you know it’s going to be pushed back indefinitely due to production and shipping issues. It’s going to be released and shipped out when it’s done. Might as well crawl back under a rock and see the vast empty skies with stars and polar lights when they show up.

Seriously, I don't remember Bandai keeps on pushing back on release schedule as much like other companies does. But then again, I don't mind the push coz it helps my wallet breathe. Another month or so would be nice, as long that Mirage's Kairos+ will get fixed first. Edited March 29, 2022 by no3Ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriswoo Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 i think they spending their resource solving logistic issue and scalper however i am no hurry for it to release as my VF -31AX Hayate haven't yet reach my hand yet.

borgified Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 So that means we can both get a 1/6 figure of our choice to fill in the gap of the delayed “Best Girl’s” 31ax and not Oba-san’s 29 to go with her hubby’s right @no3Ljm ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. And things are going to get a lot more expensive. Welcome to the new normal.

Economies are starting to fully open at the same time and lift pandemic restrictions...maybe that will help things along...however thats a risk too as evident with shanghai at the moment...
