OzmaLee74 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Nice pics Matrix Soul! Haven't even had a chance to open up mine yet. Quote
Matrix Soul Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) What happened to the right head laser?? It's missing paint in the battroid pics. Didn't even notice till you mention it, it's not that noticeable in person, but I might swap it out with the hard version anyway. Edited July 3, 2012 by Matrix Soul Quote
Chronocidal Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 So, if NY shows your order as "Preparation in Progress"... what does that mean? Do they have it in stock, or is that just what happens once you pay? I know some people said they were having theirs cancelled, so I don't expect it to go through, but it would be weird if it did.

anubis20 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Fack!! Fack!! Fack!! Im missing a piece!! Check your valks people Edited July 3, 2012 by anubis20 Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Wow almost identical to Yamato's work on the VF-17S, oh yeah here's my latest vent just to let you all know my frustration of not noticing this sooner, ARRRRRRRRRRRGHHHH!!!!!!!! :angry: :angry: Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Well, no missing parts on mine. Did notice some minor sloppiness on the paint though. Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Geez with all the flaws bandai has put into this maybe it wasn't all that bad in missing it. Quote
Graham Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I like the fighter mode stand for this, locks into the plane very securely, unlike the stands for Bandai's other DX VFs. Graham Quote

shazam Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) For those that missed out on one, here's your chance: http://ekizo.mandara...m_s-939729.html Nevermind it sold out already. Edited July 3, 2012 by shazam Quote

Graham Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I just received a phone call from a lady at ishop2go, who spoke pretty good English. She was very apologetic that there were not able to fulfil my order. She said they only received 10pcs of VF-171EX from Bandai, but actually had over 300 orders from customers. Anyway, they offered me the choice of a refund or 20% off any Yamato item in stock. I took the refund. Graham Quote

BoaRepublic Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 ishop2go - That's garbage...10 pieces?!? I'm sure I'll be getting my money back as well... I got one on ebay pre-order, so crossing my fingers that one goes though.... Quote

I got one on ebay pre-order, so crossing my fingers that one goes though.... Crap Crap Carp, That's where my order is, but no indication that my order has been cancelled yet.............. im sure it will be since they have x300 people to call and E-Mail, CRAP CRAP CRAP. I guess Evil-Bay will be my next best choice................ Quote
Graham Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Yeah, lucky I managed to snag my first one with Anime Export and my second with HLJ, so I'm not bothered about not getting the one from ishop2go. Graham Quote
mikmik Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Well since my order has been cancelled but the fantastic ishop2go I thought I'd check out E-Bay................. and sadly enough im seeing $300+ for each VF-171 one................ I see everyone profiting out of the shortage now. HOW FRACKING FANTASTIC Quote
Kurisama Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Same here with ishop2go... I emailed them and got the same response. I wonder if they'd have been happy to hold onto my money if I hadn't done anything. At least I have one coming in from else where.u Quote

Ghostkiller Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) the red paint on the back pack is coming off a lot on the pics provided : I should consider putting a translucide plastic film on it in order to avoid the same scratchs.... the clear plastic film can be cut from a yamato v2 sticker's sheet for info I hope it is the only main risky area for the paint job Edited July 3, 2012 by Ghostkiller Quote
Negotiator Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 i don't get why anyone is running to ebay when NY is still selling it. Quote
Ghostkiller Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 i don't get why anyone is running to ebay when NY is still selling it. +1 I bought mine 5 days ago from NY and it is on its way.... Quote
anubis20 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 frakk amiami!!! This was their response to the missing part: "Thank you for mailing us. We are sorry to hear about the missing piece. Unfortunately we are unable to get a replacement for the missing part but we would like to offer you a 200 JPY refund. Please let us know if you would like to accept and we will send the refund through PayPal." Quote

Bloody came with a missing part and cracked leg joint! Edited July 3, 2012 by shawnlee1981 Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Crap, i was just going to email them with regards to the vf-22s i just got from them. Bloody came with a missing part and cracked leg joint! Shoot them an email regarding your VF-22, there's plenty stock of it out there, unlike the VF-171. There's a good chance they can get you the missing/broken parts or even a new one. Quote
Mommar Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I still haven't got a response from ishop2go yet. I don't know if that's a good sign or bad. Quote
usagiz Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Suddenly I'm glad I just cancelled my order with ishop2go and ordered with NY... And my order just updated to shipped, So they are solid, just a bit slow! I can't believe how quickly the prices for these are skyrocketing on evil-bay either... (null) Quote
