OK, good point. I guess I was just going back to my whole thing about being a collector and loving the whole process of it, even when missing out on something. NBD in the whole scheme of things...there will be plenty more shiny new toys to get.

See above...posted on the previous page. -
Yeah...a lot of people jumping to conclusions based on Scooby Doo logic. The only thing we know for sure is NY is still sending orders out. Anything else is just added stress for no reason. As for the show, I thought it was alright but it says something when my favorite character was the Mercat. Macross 7 was my second favorite after the OG.
-
Haha, I'm not offended at all. I feel like I'm trying to ease everyone who is stressed out by offering some logic and perspective. Anyways, it doesn't seem to work so I just hope you all get your orders.

Yep, my first HMR was the Regult and then it was over...I had to get them all after I experienced that one! -
Nice job! Exactly! Complaining on this thread or anywhere else isn't going to do anything but what you said above about yourself for whoever you are complaining to. Just chill.

You haven't even touched the stars of the HMR line yet...the enemy mecha and destroids! Wait until you get your hands on some Regults and the Monster! Yeah, I know...you only care about the Valks. For now. That's what we all thought. -
Tell me about it. So annoying. Shipping was $8.27 you mean? Or how are you getting it for that low with shipping? If it is $8.27 shipped, I will buy them all, lol!
-
Congrats! Just curious, did you contact them at all or did they just send it without any extra motivation?
-
Lol, so true! No, I think you laid out pretty much what it was. Just that a few loud complaints can seem like a big deal especially when most the people who have no issues are too busy enjoying their toys to bother commenting here. I'm glad none of my Valks have the issue and it seems most people feel the same or heads would be rolling because this is after all, as they say - Macross World!

Lol, pretty much. Yetistands are by far, the best stands made for Valks and other high end toys. When you think about the price, it hurts but then think about how much you've invested in these beautiful Valks and that they deserve something not only equally precise but also extremely secure to hold your valks safely. As for the flightpose, yeah, I used Saran Wrap and it will work fine. Looking back, something more refined like what I originally suggested would be better but as long as the paint is protected, you will be ok. Look forward to seeing updated pics of your collection! -

Not a bad choice...I ordered flightpose at first too. Then decided I really wanted the Yetistand instead. Good thing is you will have extra stands that will come in handy. This. You can also just put a film in between the stand nubs and your Valk. Something like the plastic they use to protect parts inside the box. -

Looks amazing! I really admire the dedication and skill to get those kind of results. -
Like I said, at least another two weeks from now. I just don't get the panic. If you don't get it and they don't return your money, just tell your credit card company and done.
-
I guess so. I just looked back and my Missile Regults took over two weeks before they shipped. It hasn't even been two weeks yet for this. I'd give it another two weeks before I even begin to think about contacting anyone. Talk about kicking yourself, the people escalating tickets are going to feel pretty pissed when other people get their orders and they see their cancelled items relisted for twice the price they paid. Especially when they can just get their money back later without making a big deal out of it.
-
Yeah, I don't think it was so much of a fiasco. Just a few cases where people had defective hardpoints. Seems like most people have no issue. You can read about it if you go back through the thread.
-
Haha, you are probably right! I sure wouldn't give my order up but I also wouldn't be getting pissed and cutting ties with the store over it before we got clear information that they were trying to screw me. Good point. No one knows what they mean by that for sure. Assuming they will never get their stock just because Bandai is done sending their supply out is Scooby Doo logic.
-
Don't complain to anyone, just wait for your order to arrive. If you get confirmation that it won't be delivered, it will also come with a proposal to reimburse you most likely by refund. If for some reason, you are unhappy with the proposal and the store is unresponsive, just contact your credit card company.
-
Yep! Too bad I didn't anticipate this and order 100 from them so could make enough from the exchange to buy a 31A on the aftermarket.
-
haha, all good! I lost my mykombini order too. On the plus side, I just checked my refund and I made about $6.40 because of the exchange rate! Mykombini paid for my lunch!

For those of you worried about Paypal dispute deadline...As long as you didn't use Paypal funds to pay, don't worry about it because your bank/cc company will cover you. You should be using a no foreign transaction fee credit card to pay (using paypal as a gateway) if you haven't been because it will not only protect you in cases like this, you will save a lot of money in conversion fees.
-
Absolutely! That's what I'm offering to anyone who wants to take me up on it. I'm betting that they will deliver, I just don't care about worrying about it everyday and can just wait for it to come when it comes. If not, we all get our money back. NBD. This is one scenario that I can bet will definitely not happen (the part about getting auto pre-orders). No way in hell they are going to deal with that logistic.

Yep, you should always pay in Yen and preferably, use a credit card with no foreign transaction fee. You can potentially be saving a lot of money. -

NY is my goto shop because they consistently have lower prices for preorders. They markup a lot of items after release so it just depends. From my experience, their shipping is one of the lowest, along with HLJ but they also offer more options including ferry. Single item orders might be cheaper to ship at some shops but with teh NY discount, they often ship for around the same or less than other shops before adding their shipping charge. Anyways, I hope you get your 31A...I wish I got an order in on time for it at NY.
