Same here; I managed to get POs in at luna and *gasp* NY. NY was pay later so meh, why not. I almost ordered 6 at NY just to see if they would fill it hahaha

Wow, killer markups. I'm in the wrong business lol

Dang. Thanks for the link!

Sold out?

Slept through the last PO. First time I’ve missed one in at least five years haha

Limiting the PO threads is an interesting idea. Lurkers and newbies are ultimately good because more interest means more shows/toys. I think it strikes an emotional chord; especially when you come up empty handed on PO night haha Hopefully we will see some international distribution coupled with increased production in time for the next show/movie.

It’s tough. I think oldy timey members are happy to help in general but it does irk that these figs are getting harder and harder to order AND there are a fair amount of lurkers/new members we only see on PO night.

Some people like to contribute at their own expense. Others do not.

Received one piece from mykombini

I know, they ate about $400 worth of my vouchers due to backing out of orders, and the vouchers expiring because you can use them to cover a whole order.

Oh wow I was about to use a voucher to place an order an just noticed; no PayPal. Ef that they can choke on the voucher, I’m not giving them any more money

No pay later; but within PayPal protection range. Buy at your own risk.

Thank you sir! I actually ordered from them when it first popped up so I need to snag another from somewhere else. Will keep an eye out

Oops slept right through this one lol will be hunting for them on release day

I feel as though it would look better in the cannon fodder scheme or two-tone. It's too busy with the tramp stamp and all. Still going to try and get one at PO tho haha

First one, then the other. I waited too long to pursue a chargeback so NY is keeping my money. I got ripped off I tell ya! Apologies for getting off topic. I’ll keep complaining here:

This has certainly become an expensive hobby. I still enjoy purchasing Macross Mech but they are puttin a hurtin on my wallet. @no3Ljm we need some more wallet asploding gifs haha

I’ve only placed a few orders with mykombini but they haven’t let me down yet. NY owes me 1K in merchandise and expired store credit….grrrrr >:| Nippon Yasan…from hells heart, I stab at thee!

Got shipping notification from mykombini weee

The 31 has so much back kibble lol still a beautiful bird though.

This thread is for PO information only. Everything else goes in the respective non-PO thread: https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/49396-bandai-dx-vf-31ax/

You’re right; I was looking at the VF-1J Armor Combo which was closer to 300 a piece all in. I typically use surface mail so it’s a bit cheaper.

I agree ~15% late tax is not too bad. A little time and patience will save a few more bucks but may not be worth the trouble.

Yeah even the folks that managed to get it via proxy from Bandai paid $300-$350. No one outside of Japan was able to get this at “list price”; and there was no “retail” price as this was a web exclusive.

Most proxy services named on the forum are rendered useless for TWE after a few releases.
