    Exactly! Opinions is opinions but no need to keep complaining about the same thing over and over. What's that saying about doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? I don't care about NY or any of them other than the service they provide me so my loyalty lies solely with who delivers what I want at the lowest price. HLJ is cool and I love their sales but it can be a pain scrolling through pages to find anything. Their payment system has also been steadily getting worse and worse. NY is one of the only shops that lets you pay for any order, anytime you want and use a credit card directly. No need to wait for emails and go through third party payment services. Again, just a discussion and different perspective I think should be shared whenever people start the same old bashing.

    Yeah, it's all just talk and all good. Thing is, NY also recently started having consistently lower prices on almost everything for preorder. I think you need to look at the big picture and maybe consider that one of the reasons they are able to offer such low prices has to do with finding leeway with all expenses, including shipping. Sometimes they might miscalculate something and have to charge a few extra dollars. To me that's not great but acceptable. I'm just grateful there are these businesses that weren't around when I first started collecting going out of their way to allow me to easily buy toys that were not meant for my market. I find annoying quirks with all the major shops we buy from but either I accept their policies or I just don't buy from them.

    I've made most my preorders for hundreds of items in the last couple years at NY. I've been asked to pay extra maybe three times, totaling less than $20. If they suck so bad, I wonder why people who complain keep ordering from them?

    Nice haul! The Mezco figures look great. Now I kinda regret not ordering them.
  5. Slave IV
    This again? We're talking what, about $5 a figure more for shipping when they do ask and that's still adding up to be less than other shops without shipping. It's lame, sure but not really something to complain about given the price you end up paying.

    Nice!

    How did you get the coupon? I've never seen them give coupons.

    Just got a RD Queadluun Rare. It's a fun little toy but wish it was just a tad bigger. Putting it with the HMRs for now.

    Excellent, thanks!

    Does anyone remember if the premium Vf-1s required up front payment at NY? I want the premium SDF-1 but don't want to take the hit until it actually comes out, lol.

    Future polish is my go to for any loose parts or joints on toys. Haven't needed it for any HMRs yet.
  12. Slave IV
    Yep, and they just asked for payment by the 9th. They want that money before everyone cancels for the premium.
  13. Slave IV
    Yeah, it looks way better with the details...mo money mo money!
  14. Slave IV
    I'll get this when it comes, no rush. Actually Arcadia, please take your sweet time since I have plenty I need to buy from you in the near future.
  15. Slave IV
    I don't know about cancel but I might just get both, wth. Reviews of the premiums haven't been great and I don't decal my valks anyway but my lifelong dream of owning M&M is finally happening in several ways (got the HMR set) so might as well go all out. The time it takes to do a decent job myself is worth paying the premium price instead to me.
  16. Slave IV
    Are you talking about preorders for SDF1 or Wonderfest opening?
  17. Slave IV
    I'm hoping for a new Psylocke.
  18. Slave IV
    Great haul! I sometimes spend hours messing with shipping options to get the lowest price. Usually, I find using multiple, smaller boxes is cheaper than one big box. It just depends but I think the most I ever spent on a single box was around 70,000 yen.
  19. Slave IV
    Very nice...hmmmm
  20. Slave IV
    Yeah, I think I'd still rather have a real Jolly Roger deco...
  21. Slave IV
    Damn, you just made me want to order one even more...

    NY seems to have most preorders for Exclusives open until around a month before release. I've been watching the items and this seems to be the case but if you are worried, I'd say do it within a month. I haven't ordered them yet because I have a bunch of other exclusive items I want and at this point, exchange rate will make a significant difference so I'm hoping it swings up for me a bit before I place my order.

    I don't think they state any time limit so it seems indefinite. I've left items for well over a year and they sent with no problem when I was ready.

    Thanks! And yup, exactly! Nothing like being able to take the whole family on a trip just about anywhere, and being able to wipe the floor off just about any other car in the road on a stretch or a winding road in the snow Nice haul! Cant wait to get my Nerv Anti G figure too! Saw pics comparing to the Black Summer Exclusive version and both nice but one regular will do for me.
