gwfalcon Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Aft these several price slashing, I think Yamato really get sufficient portion in the overall macross market. Releasing a new 1/100 vf-1 for Bandai is becoming more meaningless. Yamato is so so smart!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vi-RS Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) Does anyone know how long this sale will last? -Kyp I guess nobody does, grab them while you can, OD has some valkyries already in $73.99 like hikaru vf-1a, vf-1j, vf-1s, but the rest are $89.99. The ve-1 ($127) and vt-1 ($120) offered by HLJ are perfect time to grab now. OD has them for $161 and $145 with the option of SAL shipping. You only get EMS from OD.

I think you are a good example of customers to make HLJ and Yamato realise that these kinda sales are really worth it for them!

CF18 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Total: ¥69,790 My blood is cooked.... I have every V2 release from yamato So you are buying the second / third copies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) Curse you HLJ, I'm almost considering giving up on the M&M VF-22s and VF-11C for now, and getting the YF-21 and VF-11B. I wish I could count on sales like this later... I already spent this month's toy allowance on a cheap YF-19 on ebay, and 2 Fine Molds 1/48 X-Wings, all of which I should be getting in the next few days. I blame the YF-19... as much as I want to hold out for the 22s... Ahhh, screw it. I just got paid, and these might not ship till after Christmas anyway due to the restock.. I'll just call this my monthly valk purchase for January. I waited 3 years to get a YF-19, I can wait a while to get the 22s too. Maybe by then, they'll get this kind of sale too. What I want to know is why the frack they aren't discounting their VF-0s yet?? The SV-51s were frankly superior in every way to the VF-0 releases, and those things are going for almost half off. If they would mark those down, I might actually consider buying one, problem shoulders and all.

I think you are a good example of customers to make HLJ and Yamato realise that these kinda sales are really worth it for them! Luckily I only interested in vf-1 and I only buy v2, no 1/48 for me, I don't like them. Speechless..... Yamato should particularly send a mail to you, mate, for your big contribution I know someone else might bougt cases of them but not for me. So you are buying the second / third copies? actually buying 2nd copies so I can have them in both fighter and battroid modes. I wish I could stop now but I am still missing gbp-1s and angelbirds, and don't forget some multiple copies on unpainted version for MG custom.....

505thAirborne Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I so want to take advantage of their sales, I can actually afford to get a few with those prices!

Dangard Ace Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I so want to take advantage of their sales, I can actually afford to get a few with those prices! I haven't ordered from HLJ in awhile, they still offer combined shipping right? ?? If you mean shipped in one big box then yes. Oh and I finally got my confirmation email as well. Also had to adjust my order down as I sent in two orders for the same thing when I didn't see my original order in my order queue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) I think combining items helps cut down on shipping a little, though I have no idea how much exactly... and I can't speak for SAL, since I don't trust shipping with no tracking number... plus, it gives me an excuse to check my email for shipping updates constantly. On the downside, I ruin more F5 keys that way. GAH.. aaannnnd.... I added another valk to the order. Funny, this all started when I wanted to buy JUST an orange VF-1D this month, everyone was out of stock, and I found that YF-19 on ebay... it was a chain reaction. This is the perfect time to get one though.. so my order just hit over $400 with shipping. Oy. At least now, I think I can call my little VF-1 collection relatively finished. Not nearly what many would call complete, but I've got the main characters, and major iconic VF-1 variants all covered within 6 valks (orange -1D, red white and blue -1J trio, and DYRL Focker and Hikaru -1A). If I get anymore VF-1s, they'll probably be the kit versions, since I love tinkering (that, and I want some VF-1s in F-14 markings). ...And maybe a VT-1 eventually, because it's so unique. Maybe. Next year. So I basically completed my SDFM and Mac+ collections in one fell swoop. Bring on the M7 stuff! (just not too fast, my wallet needs time to recover ) Edited December 14, 2009 by Chronocidal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) Can anyone who has pruchased a VF-11B from the sale and gets confirmation of it in stock and ready to send please let us know ok! i hope it won't take them forever to get in. Doubt we'll have it in for Christmas, just about anything 1/60 with a SALE pasted on it is Dec. Restock.

BlueMax Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I think this sale must be doing so darn well that the stocks are in a state of depletion very shortly after the sale began.... so... let it run longer, and with more items!

takatoys Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 My Vf-11b is on the way to my country !!! Check HLJ and now is low stock instead of Dec. Restock. Very happy to complete the Macross Plus trio. And what could be better to get this valk at a retail price on Christmas. I hope Customs does not interfere with my joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) What the... lol.. well, so much for that idea. I was counting on the restock to happen later, so I'd get charged for my YF-21, VF-11B, and VF-1D in January... but you just HAD to get your restock today, and charge my paypal account this morning, didn't you?? Curse you again HLJ! This makes December my personal highest number of valks ordered in one month, and one heck of an expensive Macross month... and it means I really shouldn't order any more for a long while. Another bad part about that is that I won't be around when it gets delivered (unless it arrives by friday, which isn't likely) since I'll be leaving to visit my family this weekend. So, unless HLJ pulls a warp speed shipping job on this, I won't get it till next year anyway.
