Yeah, I haven't gone back to anything automatic with them and probably never will after the last headache I had with them. Make all payments manually and I haven't had any issue since.
-
262 parts were supposed to close earlier this week but still open at NY. I'm going to assume the usual ~1 month before release with NY. But definitely don't want to miss it and pay more so pay up soon! I just made my order for 262 and 31F parts together for cheaper shipping and fear of missing out on the 262 parts.

That is very strange. I never noticed a clicking lock on any of my HMRs but will check when I get a chance.
-
Hmmm...I wonder if anyone has scanned that part and made available for 3d print...?
-
Is that a 3P or official piece? I NEED IT!
-
Yep. And amiami never carried them so it would be unlikely for them to have "extra" stock.
-
My guess is that modern, better versions would be more than $3k. More like 10.

Nope, they didn't have it... -
Exactly! I actually want to hear about the issues people have with vendors because it's useful info. I'm usually the first and loudest when it comes to talking about the evils of corporations and the never ending, unsustainable model of ever increasing profit but I just don't see how that is the case with NY.
-
Here we go...so shady for offering a service that allows us to get a figure not meant for our market easily. How dare them charge something for offering these services! Anyways, it's good we all have options.

Yeah, pretty much and well said. It's the attitude of entitlement that everyone has to do things to cater to each and every different demand or they are cheating us. Every business has their niche to stay in business and you have to just assume there are many factors that allow NY to consistently offer the lowest prices on just about everything we want. It's safe to say they have to watch their margins at every step in order to continue to offer the prices they do. So, a whole $3 to cover unexpected shipping prices so they can offer a figure for $30 less than anyone else seems reasonable to me. There have already been many examples that prove even with higher shipping, they are still cheaper than everyone else for almost everything. Another main thing is the people who complain are the same people who keep buying from them and then complain. It's just getting old and I always skip through all the comments until there are just too many to ignore because it's becoming too distracting to the thread. It's both funny and annoying and I can obviously deal with it but much rather read about the figures and see pictures. A few posts warning that an extra charge may be coming is nbd but constant whining about shipping dates and trivial charges that amount to your figure costing $3 more but still $10 less than anywhere else are kinda ridiculous. Anyone who's day is ruined because they had to pay a bit more but still less than anywhere else should just pay more at some other shop to begin with. Now, getting hit with a $200+ duty charge is excessive but that's not even NY charging it. It has to be a mistake of some sort that should be looked into. Anyways, hopefully I can take more pictures and see more posted. My parts should be arriving soon and they get here when they do. Nothing to worry about. I'll be putting them in the 31F.

Haha, yeah they must be criminals for charging the lowest prices for these things.
-
What a collection in that detolf! Nice!
-
Life size Minmay, Milia and Misa huh? Those naughty Japanese I'll take all three

I was just at Target yesterday and they didn't have either. You got the touch! -

Yeah, I have no problem with KOs as long as they are the kinds that are as good as or even improve on the originals. Seems like a lot of KO companies are run by fans who know what they would want and are really catering to people who care about quality and value. -

Slave IV replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Thanks! Are those the KOs? I'm sure those and the official are both well worth the money. My main thing is waiting for them to release a Gundam I want (recognize). I have no idea where the releases so far even come from but I haven't watched any Gundam since G Gundam. -

Cool! I need to get a Metal Build Gundam just to experience one myself. -
Looks super clean. Nice job!
-
I just checked my 31F again, seems good. Whew!
-
That's a 35th anniversary figure (as it also says in your link text) and it's not Roy. Either way, you should grab one, it looks sweet. I ordered already.
-
What about the 31? Seems loved universally.
-
Yeah, the 31J armors, HMR missiles, Milia and most other ones I can think of all stayed open until about a month before release if I remember correctly. Anyways, not messing around and missing the preorder.
-
Looks like the lil drakens are still available at NY so that 5/22 date was wrong or maybe by the end of the day they will stop. Seems odd considering how long all the other exclusive preorders stayed open but whatever the case I ordered mine just in case. Wanted to wait until the last min which should be months from now but at least it's out of the way along with the 31F parts I ordered together with it.
-
Sweet! I need some stands like that. Or the background art!
