They jacked it up to about $170-180 about half an hour before the listing went live, IIRC. I think I saw the price go back and forth for a while, like they couldn't make up their minds how much to mark up.
-
Thanks for the info. So it seems HLJ started actually accepting orders a short time after the listing popped up. Interesting...
-
Just curious...what happened with HLJ? It looked frozen once the listing came up. Did it just start working normally 20 minutes later or something like that?

If it didn't carry the risk of infecting you, I would totally give you a hug and a kiss right now, man. Thank you! I was watching another site so intently--and given that AJ usually lists things hours after the official start, and given that they didn't even offer Hikaru 1S--I didn't even think to watch AJ until later. And I didn't even realize I had been logged out...barely made it. Thank god I remembered my password.

To commemorate the last horror show (VF-1S Hikaru), I watched the newest Friday the 13th while waiting. Not sure what I'll put on tonight.

It's almost twice the size of a MB and is a more literal, as opposed to overly stylized, interpretation of the design. If I liked the Rebuild look, I'd go for it. I still might. I'd much rather have something like this based on the TV designs, though.

Hilarious. Bandai didn't think tonight would be hard enough for us, so they're going to throw in a DX SOC that most of us have been waiting, what, two decades for?

It is for some limited-edition My Little Ponys. But nothing Macross-related. Nothing at all...

I had a similar experience with NY. Years before the pandemic, they sat on some old, in-stock HMRs for about 3-4 weeks. I even messaged them to make sure they were in stock, and they were. Never got a good explanation for why it took nearly a month between payment and sending of toys. Never again with that place--haven't been tempted to consider them again, even for preorder nights. And these days, no single business is indispensable for getting our stuff.

All the best to you and your mother.
-
That's pretty much why I want them.

If only DX valks were this easy.

I'm just in awe of the people who managed to snag BOTH the 1S and Dairugger. Ballsy move. I only had time to go after one. If this were the Roy 1S, I would have no problems paying the Iron Price for it.
-
Nah, I appreciate the discussion. To me, BOTH the behavior and results are similar. NY's actively interfering with its own sales to jack up the price, often cutting people off midway through their ordering process to hold back stock, just as scalpers interfere with collector's access to the items by simply snatching them up. Anyway, I'll stop on that topic. Looks like I'll be keeping an eye out for a 1S (and Strike Parts) when I head to Japan later this year. Hopefully, I'll find something in the 25,000 Yen range or less.
