neoexcaliber Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 NY back up NY is back up after HLJ sells out in 30 seconds? Coincidence? Quote
SaitouSad Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 wow.. not sold out yet.. at 21k still.Also 30 pieces left.I'll let Royard do the report though :X Quote
pikashoo Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) NY is back up after HLJ sells out in 30 seconds? Coincidence? nah, cant be. They were also up just a wee bit after otacute sold out earlier today too..... the timing is too perfect maybe they have minions getting paid commission by the amount of pre orders they get from other places Edited April 5, 2013 by pikashoo Quote
Tober Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 I guess their left hand doesn't really know what their right hand is doing, then. Anyhow, thanks again! Good job! Can't believe an HLJ preorder lasted 25 minutes. I guess no one else was expecting the re-opening, because they didn't see Tober's tip! I could theorise that they may have gone through and reduced anyone's order that ordered more than one. I know other stores that do that (3A Toys). Could explain the larger number of 171s and few 25Fs... But yeah, anticipating HLJ isn't easy. Quote
royard Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) wow.. not sold out yet.. at 21k still. Also 30 pieces left. I'll let Royard do the report though :X Nah, not bothering with a full report this time. They are selling way too slow and I have better things to do. began at 05:33:30 - 30 left 05:36:00 - 29 05:38:30 - 28 05:41:35 - 27 left 05:53:35 - 23 Edited April 5, 2013 by royard Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 NY still up! Already have one from 2011 but the black paint on the nose cone has a scuff so preordered a second one as a back up. Quote
SaitouSad Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) Edit: Nevermind, had an error with my cart haha still plenty left (about 26) Edited April 5, 2013 by SaitouSad Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Have you logged out and back in? I still see it available. Quote

Maybe, although I think it's pretty unlikely - they already did a round of order reduction after the first preordering of VF-171. I think the reason that 171 and rvf lasted so long is that no one other than MWers were expecting their release and wasn't actively F5ing for it. Your tip was truly invaluable.

stormshadow0621 Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) I inadvertently got 2 RVF-25 in HLJ...(didn't see my initial order so ordered again) anyone want to swap a VF-171 with me? If I cancel one of the orders will it automatically be available in HLJ? (Time to sleep, haven't slept well for the last three nights). Edited April 5, 2013 by stormshadow0621 Quote

What got me curious is, why did the RVF come up so late.. also where did those VF-171 come from this late in the game? People getting cold feet closer to release date? Have you logged out and back in? I still see it available. ya my bad. error with my cart. Quote
anime52k8 Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 WHAT THE ACTUAL frakk! HOW DO I KEEP MISSING THIS crap!?!?! Quote
SaitouSad Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 WHAT THE ACTUAL frakk! HOW DO I KEEP MISSING THIS crap!?!?! If it's the VF-25F you want, NY still has it. Quote
Scyla Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) Well the good thing about the HLJ preorders is that some people will now cancel their preorder at NY meaning that NY will maybe open up their preorders again. Edit: I think he's referring to the recent HLJ preorders. Edited April 5, 2013 by Scyla Quote
anime52k8 Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 If it's the VF-25F you want, NY still has it. Like I said, screw that noise. I still refuse to pay more than $200 for one. I'm more pissed I missed an opportunity to snag a $140 RVF-25. Quote
miro79 Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Well the good thing about the HLJ preorders is that some people will now cancel their preorder at NY meaning that NY will maybe open up their preorders again. i canceld my RVF-25 preorder at NY. So if anyone is looking for that.. Quote

Oh.. well like Scyla said, you can try camping @ NY to see if they release some of the cancelled RVF. Though I have no clue at what price that will be at... Quote

Though I have no clue at what price that will be at...I've already got an RVF-25 through NY, I want one for less than $180USD before shipping. Edited April 5, 2013 by anime52k8 Quote
royard Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Oh.. well like Scyla said, you can try camping @ NY to see if they release some of the cancelled RVF. Though I have no clue at what price that will be at... NY has 5 rvf-25 left at 18500. Quote
royard Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Up at NY! It's more of a "never quite sold out at NY." They opened an hour ago with 30 items in stock and that hasn't been exhausted yet. Quote
ErikElvis Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Oh my bad. I just ordered and posted here. I was on work computer so I didn't have much time Quote
royard Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Oh my bad. I just ordered and posted here. I was on work computer so I didn't have much time No need to be sorry. I wasn't trying to accuse you of anything. Just wanted to clarify the situation a bit. Quote
jmx222 Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 NY just sold out again, everybody here must already got their order in right now Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 This is crazy usually NY reopens their orders earlier in the evening now they are doing it lat at night after I go to sleep. I may not get this valk preordered. Quote
eyesonme78 Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 so did everyone get a vf-25f eventually after all this commotion? i got mine from Japan yahoo through a proxy though. Quote
jmx222 Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 NY alto's VF-25 super parts went out of stock now and the armor parts is at whopping 19,000 yen... I guess most of us don't want their newly preordered VF-25F naked Quote
BlueMax Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) At 220 usd on NY, this is absolute madness IMO, I bow out of this competition. Hope one more person can get it. Edit: Oh and F*ck you Bandai! _^_______/\. <| ________| / ~ /_) /__/ Edited April 5, 2013 by BlueMax Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 ahh i missed the canon fodder 171, i need to get one as i missed the nippon preorder a while back Quote
xrentonx Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 I knew I'd sleep through hlj! Totally collapsed into bed last night. Ah well at least I have what I want preordered. Quote

Knightdramon Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Nope, still did not get one. At this point I don't really give a damn though. Preorders usually started at 11.000 yen [from 14.000 retail] and EVEN BEFORE ITS F*CKING RELEASED they're like 20.000 yen? Didn't pay that much for SOC Ideon, which is about two kilos of metal, I'm not going to for a bare valkyrie that needs an additional 9-20 thousand yen to look complete via fastpacks. Quote
