NY may have terrible customer service, and they may charge you extra for shipping, but they do at least package their stuff well. Mine came from NY with the box pretty much immaculate, and everything inside looks in good shape.
-
Definitely, the non-transforming figures are all quite solid and very poseable. Can't wait for them to get around to the Tomahawk.
-
What you can do is get a nice tripod, and take a long exposure with a flash at the start to illuminate the ship and charge the phosphorescence. Then let the rest of the exposure stay dark to get the glowing effect. -
Opened mine to check and make sure everything was there. There's a huge difference in appearance vs the normal release one.
-
My wallet would be in even more pain than it normally is? ...and I'd be even shorter of shelf space!
-
Pretty sure those are HMRs On a related note, got a couple of boxes today.
-
Interesting, any chance Bandai took notice of the pre-order demand and decided to do an additional run?
-
Yup, it was supposed to be $44 USD. I had an order in when it was accidentally $HKD, and they asked me to re-order.
-
Check underneath the runners on the right side, IIRC there's a pocket below them.
-
All hands to battle stations, @Saburo is about to mount another assault on our wallets.
-
¥21,000 plus another ¥4500 in shipping. Considering it's still sealed tray and no major box damage it's definitely better than the $450+ ebay, YJA, or amazon is asking for a new one.
-
I think you were the one who mentioned it was for sale at Anime Export. Could be mistaken though.
-
Picked this up thanks to a tip from @Shizuka the Cat. Turns out the box was opened, but the tray was still sealed.
-
I'm pretty sure Ebay absorbs the discount, rather than the seller. I'd give them a week, making sure all communications go through EBay, then if you're not satisfied file a dispute through EBay. They have no leg to stand on as the listing violated EBay's requirements for pre-orders.
-
VF-1S Roy, and VF-S Roy Premium have both already been released. Hell, I've got one on my shelf right now. Ask for clarification from them, as to why they're selling an already released item as a Pre-order. Also with that release date they're outside EBay's window for disputes, and also outside EBay's policy for acceptable pre-orders.
-
Are you sure it's a VF-1S strike, not a VF-0S?
-
http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=5957 I'm going to try and stop myself from spending any more after looking at my credit card bill for the last month (and how it's doubled).
-
The only things I'll have 3 of are the VF-31a and YF-19. Of course, I already have 2 YF-19s and a VF-19Adv...
-
It might dip for a bit if there truly is a large shipment coming in, but I imagine it'll eventually go right back up, seeing as this is a very popular iteration of one of the best designed valkyries Bandai has put out, and it wasn't a retail release on top of that. Plus there'll be some inertia that people are already seeing it worth paying ¥48,000 for. Look at how the VF-0D went up in price, even though it wasn't the best of the Arcadia VF-0 valkyries.
-
Try Craigslist, look for used display cases, there's sometimes stuff from closed retail locations.
-
Your chances are: choose one Fat Slim
-
Poked the ebay seller I ordered a 31A from, and seems like they got it in the recent wave, going to ship out after Golden Week.
-
Depends if I get my two from EBay and NY or not. Paying 31,000 for a 31J Kai from Mandarake is a lot cheaper than 48,000 for a 31A.
-
You ought to be able to make it glow with non-visible light. UV/blacklight might not be the best idea though, since UV is what causes plastic degradation. Illuminating with white light that doesn't have UV ought to be very safe.
-
Got an email with a discount code from HLJ as well, for the Aile Strike rather than the YF-19. 10% is nothing to sneeze at.
