    Oooo, God Phoenix. Probably my most anticipated toy ever. Ironic that it is made by ET.

    That is definitely one of the lamest policies. But again, it wouldn’t apply to me because I would just wait for my stuff to come at the price I paid (loaned) them or get my money back. This will go down as the great 31A mystery that maybe someday will get declassified and we will learn the truth of what went down. Edit: btw, even if you use PayPal, I highly recommend using a credit card through PayPal. That way, if you have a no foreign fee card, you pay less and you are also always protected by the cc company on top of PayPal. I learned the hard way dealing with a company much, much worse than NY.

    I personally wouldn’t mind store credit since I try to shop at NY as much as possible but their policies do suck. If I was really done with a shop like theirs, I would not accept store credit. I would just tell my cc company and they would refund me fully.

    I just went ahead and paid for my VF-4Gs at NY since the exchange rate just jumped up to the best it’s been since Christmas. Might keep getting better but I have a few other orders to pay for in the next couple weeks.

    All good. I think NY did get all their orders with Bandai fulfilled one way or another and there is no way they bought the ones they sent out at original price on the aftermarket for more. There were other sellers stating that there would be a later shipment and those seem to have panned out. Again, this is such a unique case that hasn’t happened before so to base all future orders on this one seems unreasonable to me. The above and beyond part to me is that after so much time, whatever the deal with NY was, they did not need to drag it out and send items to people at original price when it was easily going for 3-4 the price. They could have given refunds like so many people seem to wish they did but I can just imagine the pitchforks from those same people if they got their refunds and then found out they could have received their item if they just waited. I’m not apologizing for NY and like I said, I don’t care about them other then that they deliver the items I order from them. Just giving some perspective on the topic and it’s interesting disscussion to me. No offense to anyone.

    It's all good. If I were in the situation, I would just keep waiting until I get the figure or they tell me they can't deliver. If they can't deliver, they have to give my money back.

    I think this is probably the case.

    My offer for for one but I would have done more if anyone wanted to. Anyways, it's over with now and I still haven't opened the one I did get yet, lol.

    Slave IV replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    I have no loyalty to any business organization. I just shop with whoever delivers the items I want at the lowest price and that is usually NY. The reason I made the offer is because it was clear to me that NY was going to deliver or they would have cancelled the orders like other stores did. I missed the preorder at NY and wanted the Valk so it was a no brainer for me to offer any disgruntled shoppers more than their money back to give their order to me. I don’t care about waiting as long as I get my item. Again, I don’t think there was any uncertainty. They either fulfill their orders or they cancel them. They never said they could not fulfill orders and I think that’s probably why they only offered credit to those who panicked. If they really couldn’t fulfill, they would have to cancel the orders and refund. This was a one time case and it is highly likely that it was Bandai’s fault for the delays, not NY’s and again, they went above and beyond to deliver when they didn’t have to. Again, it doesn’t matter to me but just funny that so many people fume about NY and “swear off” them but every preorder night, it seems harder and harder to get an order through. Whatever the case, it is a unique and interesting situation that would be cool to learn more about what happened on the supply end. I’m probably going to order two from them.

    I’m pretty sure everyone who didn’t freak out over a toy and waited to get theirs at original price while everyone else was selling for double the price right release benefitted. I offered anyone who couldn’t wait a good amount over what they paid to turn their order over to me because NY did assure everyone they would get their items if they just waited. No one took my offer.

    I just don’t get the hate for NY. They did everything in their power to deliver all their preorders for the lowest price of 23,000 yen in to just recently when prices have been around three times that. They could easily have just said they couldn’t fulfill the orders and refunded everyone and then sold their stock at a much higher price, which would be worthy of hating. But instead, they seemed to have delivered all orders so what’s wrong with selling any extra at market rate? That’s what businesses are meant to do.

    Sounds great! It’s unfortunate they didn’t paint the bird missile but who needs bird missiles when you can go firebird? This is pretty much one of my most anticipated toys of my life.
  15. Slave IV
    Oh hell yeah! It looks great and thanks for comparing it with the Unifive. Mine is on the way!

    Well, they are partsformers. Our friend @jenius has detailed info here: http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=995

    Those are all Gashapon figures. Some transformable. About 1/250 scale.
  18. Slave IV
    I think those could work well. Actual scale Valks would be too small to really enjoy seeing in a display to me. This is what I have: just need to work on some stands to have them displayed higher.
  19. Slave IV
    I’ve checked four as well almost everyday this whole week. I’m not too worried because Walgreens exclusives seem easy to get sooner or later but I really want to just get my hands on this one and get it out of the way.
  20. Slave IV
    Nice! Still nowhere to be found around me.
  21. Slave IV
    Whenever I’m posing them or taking pictures. But I have favorite modes for each one and usually many version of the same mold so I usually designate one of them as a play model to mess with more than others.
  22. Slave IV
    Looks good and agree it will look even better with smaller rings.

    Yeah, I would want an F-14 and A-10. My two favorites.

    Very nice! You are tempting me big time! Lol.
  25. Slave IV
    Yep. I just wish they made the holes the right size to fit most stands to begin with. It would have increased the playability of all the sets significantly. I guess if they offer the adapters separately and for cheap enough, that would work. Or better yet, send adapters to anyone who helped them by ordering their sets already.
