RavenHawk Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 guys.. just gotten a clear reply that my green alpha is on back order, and will be ship once the item is available. why couldn't they said it clearly on website ? at least save me the trouble of me going thru all these emails. I wouldn't be surprised if the red and green Alphas were both on backorder. They probably just don't list it on the site because they know that people are less likely to buy the red and upcoming green Betas if they can't get a matching Alpha. I also don't know how any Alphas can be on backorder, since Toynami has said that they've made all they're going to make of the previous releases and don't intend to produce any more.
jenius Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 ALWAYS, and I mean this, ALWAYS cancel any toy order you make that you find out is on backorder. Toy stores have almost no say in the matter of when they'll get more stock in so most the time people wait forever, the toy never becomes available again, and by the time you realize it you can't find the toy anywhere else. Just cancel your order, buy from some other store, and hope for the best.

Jenius, i agreed with what you've said... to my surprise... i receoved a tracking number from fedex this morning when i wake up from bed.. and they said the item has been shipped from robotech and on its way to singapore now... so is it true that it's on backorder or they just send me something ? & my credit card has been charged... so is the person replying the right person for the job?? May the answer i received was a standard ans for all customer who ask the same question?? anyways just wait and see what comes in.. but i have a feeling i will not be liking it... but i might be wrong..

jenius Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Wow, RT.com not exactly representing well these days. I heard they announced the Shadow Chronicles recall and then when people sent requests for refunds RT.com stopped communicating. Lame.
Tober Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Well, at least you can track it now. Sounds like your order was just being processed is all, they list other toys as being out of stock if they're not available so I hope you're ok.

Thks tober..
RavenHawk Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I preordered the Scott/Stick Cyclone/MOSPEADA of the Toynami release of the Beagle through Robotech.com, and am now considering ordering the Rand/Ray one. Anyone here happen to know if Robotech.com bills you when you place the preorder, or not until it ships? I emailed their preorder department this question a full week ago but, surprise surprise, no answer yet.
RD Blade Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I emailed their preorder department this question a full week ago but, surprise surprise, no answer yet.That would be a red flag for me. But maybe I'm just paranoid.

Hi Raven; I think you better email again to ask, but they should not charge u till the stock is available for shipping. Thius is what i know.. but then again i could be wrong.. Edmund.

Thius is what i know.. but then again i could be wrong.. Edmund. I know other online retailers tend to state flat out that they don't bill you until they are ready to ship, but since Robotech.com doesn't make a point of mentioning it, I kind of suspect they like to sit on your money for a couple months... Guess I need to go through my bank records and see when they billed me on my previous orders from them.
jenius Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 RT.com only charges you when they process items for shipping.
RavenHawk Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 RT.com only charges you when they process items for shipping. Are you sure? If so, great. As usual jenius, thanks. You're a wealth of info, especially for us MOSPEADA toy fans, lol.
jenius Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 No problem, the proof is on this page: http://www.robotech.com/store/viewpreord.php It states: Welcome to the Robotech.com Pre-order Center, where you can get first dibs on hot new upcoming products or items that may be temporarily out of stock. As soon as the product becomes available, it will be automatically processed and shipped out to you along with e-mail notification of its tracking number! Credit cards are only charged AFTER the product has been shipped!
RavenHawk Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 No problem, the proof is on this page: http://www.robotech.com/store/viewpreord.php It states: Thanks. Believe it or not, I did read over that page, but read the second paragraph and, in some moment of stupidity, somehow just skimmed the first one and missed the one vital sentence I was looking for... Ok, let's get back to the topic: So, how many days now until the mystery item from Beagle gets revealed?
eyesonme78 Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 counting down to the revealing of the secret item hahahaha.. and to my arrival of lancer MPC alpha
505thAirborne Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Tokyo Anime Fair is March 18th Wish i could go there, thats gotta be 2 tons of fun!!!!
eyesonme78 Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) got my lancer! it's really MPC! and i am going to check it in full once i gotten my work tonight! thks Robotech.com ! They deliver in a very short lead time!! I am impressed..!! Edited March 16, 2009 by eyesonme78
RD Blade Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Cool. Thanks for letting us know how it turned out. The best credentials an e-store can have is a long line of satisfied customers.
funkycatspangky Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 would it be possible that the upcomming secret item be a fully transformable Legioss? what are your thoughts?
RavenHawk Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 would it be possible that the upcomming secret item be a fully transformable Legioss? what are your thoughts? I really doubt it. I think it's going to be one of the bikes (Yellow based on previously announced orders of releases from online retailers, Houquet based on the profile in the teaser).

Thanks for the info Is there totally no chance that we will see a new legioss in the upcomming anime show by other companies?

At the risk of repeating myself yet again, the release order confirmed by Beagle is Stick, Ray, Houquet, Yellow. Anyone who ever said otherwise was going off the information provided by Toynami BEFORE they started working with Beagle.

Anyone who ever said otherwise was going off the information provided by Toynami BEFORE they started working with Beagle. I believe you, but I've never seen anything official about this, so I did not know it had been confirmed by Beagle. The only place I had seen a release order previously was bigbadtoystore (if I remember correctly). I didn't realize it was based on Toynami's old old old info. Well, that being the case, it seems pretty definite that Houquet will be the "secret item."
Tober Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Thanks for the info Is there totally no chance that we will see a new legioss in the upcomming anime show by other companies? There is a rumoured re-release of the MPC Alpha/Legioss with Beta/Tread as a plastic set. Nothing official has been announced or confirmed. Wouldn't really count on seeing it at the upcoming show tomorrow either.
eyesonme78 Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Well overall's not bad guys.. the wings as per normal, i did mods to it.. very very minor mods for it to come out easier. and the packaging arent that special but good enough to make sure my thing comes here in one piece.. but then i think the overall for green alpha is not bad, i did a transformation once ( carefully) with no problems.. and i had a additional lancer cel enclosed with the package.. i was surprised cause i thought that was given out along long time ago.. That is about all But one more thing, anyone knows when the green beta will be coming out ?? i am so excitied to get it now.. hahhah
RD Blade Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 But one more thing, anyone knows when the green beta will be coming out ?? BBTS has a release date of 1st quarter 2009. If that's accurate (they're often not), then it will be out by the end of march.
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Bummer! I thought the four bikes were a given. What's so secret about an item that we know it's going to be released sooner or later anyway? C'mon, Beagle! Give us a decent Legioss already!
jenius Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I'm guessing BBTS is going by the old information supplied by Toynami for release dates. That had the Red Beta out at the end of January and instead it came out mid Feb (IIRC). So I would expect at least a couple week delay on the green Beta... I'd guess late April but that's totally just a guess.

Alex Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I'll be getting the Red Toynami Tread next week and I was wondering what the mold differences were between it and its blue brother. \ The head is vastly different?
