I was on the fence with the missiles. Can take that off your hand if it does come to that (I hope it will not). But more importantly, how about the missing VF-1J, Max will be lonely when he arrives in September, better start hunting for his friend (and good luck). :evil grin:
-
This is an expensive hobby. And this crazy PO doesn't make it easier/cheaper. I was thinking of giving up on the DX line, but but but... when I look at the posted photo, I just can't stop myself. Why am I so weak..... Anyway, if you do decide to sell the third, please help out this poor chap that never once get an PO in.
-
You are right. Just trying to make myself feel less upset about missing the PO. Have to try to trivialize the mark up for my own sake. The system creates an opportunity for the scalper. Nothing we can do about it.
-
Nice.
-
The price diff between those two decision might not be that big.
-
I am leaning toward what @jenius said. That is what I did for the 1J. But I can totally understand @vlenhoff and are thinking of just pay up and calling it a day. This depends on where you live, $100 will just enough to buy an ok dinner for my family here in the bay area. So either way, I am chill now. Not lucky enough to get a nice discount with PO, life move on.
-
There are very little choices left. Good that you have one secure now. Is 27,500 yen on NY the best deal? Coming up to $300 after shipping to US?
-
Was feeling really lousy last night after the PO madness, so go to sleep early. Then now found out that I missed another chance. This is terrible. The guilt of going to sleep when I could have keep checking.....
-
My VF-1J is from amazon jp on release day, $240, not too far from $275. Amazon jp third-party price is dropping slowly. Eventually, it will go below NY's price. At this point, I am preparing myself for some major markup.
-
Buyer remorse will be a super easy fix for this one. Just said the word and a line will form to take this off your hand (hopefully I will be on the front of the line). Congrats for the late win. You deserve it.
-
I hope that VF-1A street price will not go as crazy. I will want to get one on release day. And hopefully not give too much profit to the scalper to encourage them to do more of the same in the future. But this is a free market, so anything goes. Unless Bandai or shops impose stronger limitation one per person limit. Not sure how they can practically implement something useful. Just like the craziness with iPhone release. When something is desirable, then it will be harder to get. So I am hoping that free market force will come into play and general demand and supply will rule and if supply is sufficient from Bandai, then prices will not be too crazy.
-
Thanks for your thoughts. I missed the VF-1J and pay a steep mark up on release day. Too bad I have to resort to the same again.
-
Dozed off and sleep through the amazon jp window. Anyone that has extra want to help me get one? Please!!
-
Know nothing about production planning, but I hope Bandai can adjust this seeing how fast these are snapped up during PO. Hoping to have more on release day.
-
up at amazon jp for 34,800 yen
-
Not a single person here get one? Wow!
-
only Amazon jp and NY left to try...
-
15 mins to go..... I hope my computer will not crash.
-
Is peer pressure not strong enough to "make" you get one?
-
Ahh..... The "just in case" is important! Creating more accounts on HLJ/AJ/AmiAmi as a preparation for this wise plan! I have an understanding with the postman. Packages for Apt1-x (for all x) will be delivered to Apt1 regardless (just in case they try to verify shipping address on multiple accounts.
-
@Foblander will need a fifth one for "pose the heck out of it". I will need one for "weather and custom paint the heck out of it".
-
I missed the Hikaru too. Was forced to pay a bit extra on release day. I really hope I don't have to this time around. But the PO madness on Sunday night is expected to be bad. So will not be too surprised if I end up in the same boat again.
-
Same here, still waiting for AmiAmi. Logged in and checked. The order status is unchanged.

Would love to pick up a set. Like you have said, just for extra option. But I am having trouble with the website, not easy to search. Can you provide a link? Thanks. Does $20 include the extra shipping?
