SaitouSad Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 No, I'm saying the ENTIRE bandai october list has no discount. That's simply impossible - there are quite a few unpopular items on that list. oh crap... forgot about my Ryuohmaru... and it's gone. oh well at least I got my confirmation email Quote
royard Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 oh crap... forgot about my Ryuohmaru... and it's gone. oh well at least I got my confirmation email No, they didn't list it. Which is also why I think these are accidentally released. Quote
SaitouSad Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I think we should at least be thankful for scoring 1 at no mark up. Quote
xrentonx Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Hmmm...does Nin Nin Game ever do preorders at no markup? I keep hearing they are similar to NY. Quote
Duymon Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Perhaps the guy that put it up forgot to put the discounts on. It would be interesting how they'd handle something like that when people already preordered at full price. Quote

It would be interesting how they'd handle something like that when people already preordered at full price. I mean, since people were willing to buy 'em at that price... It's real obvious, right?

raptormesh Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Should be easier to made adjustments as none of us has paid. Quote
Loop Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) So what are your counts so far since this has already opened up at all the big stores? I had success with: 1X NY $180.95 EMS 1x CDJ $171.02 with Reg Air Mail 1X NY $180.85 Eco Sal Registered 1x HLJ 14,000 yen Shipping TBD Edited July 3, 2013 by Loop Quote
xrentonx Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 1x CDJ 1x NY ...looking to replace that NY with HLJ or Amiami later Quote
Valk-1S Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Aarghh! I emailed them to ask when they expect to take orders less than an hour before they put up and they replied that they have no idea and will put up minutes after they get confirmation from supplier. So decided to step out the office 5 minutes they put up and missed out. Quote
Loop Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Yeah trying to ween off NY, but I can never get more than one per store. I missed out on the AE pre-order and I had already payed for the one at CDJ. I figured I did not want to pay up front for 2 right now anyway. Edited July 3, 2013 by Loop Quote
IXTL Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Regarding discounts, the major Japanese online retailers (Hobby Search, Amiami and HLJ) have all either reduced their usual discount or offered no discount at all for the 25A. It looks like there was a reduction in their wholesale discount. Quote
UN Spacy Posted July 3, 2013 Author Posted July 3, 2013 Missed it...no biggie...I'm sure I'll have other chances. Quote

It looks like there was a reduction in their wholesale discount. The VF-171 CF was available for 15 minutes back in March. I have a feeling the VF-25A is either more popular, or Bandai is reducing production. Quote
SaitouSad Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 No, they didn't list it. Which is also why I think these are accidentally released. nah man. the Ryuohmaru was up and sold out so quickly. already got 1 at Hobby Search, but was hoping to get a better price. Quote
erikos0311 Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 man, I was too busy messing with ma' brand spaking new VF-171 I got today i missed it.... I got 2 with NY but 14000 Yen sounds a lot better.... Quote

I have a feeling the VF-25A is either more popular, or Bandai is reducing production. which wouldn't be surprising (being that the 25A is more popular). I would take a VF-25 over a VF-171 any day. And it would complement the skull squadron so nicely. Quote
Duymon Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 SaitouSad is prolly going to kill me. I preordered the Ryuohmaru just to see if it would show up in my orders section, then I cancelled it O_o Was just running some tests because i was so worried about the Vf-25A not showing up yet :0 Quote
skullmilitia Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I had the damn page ready for three days, figures it hits while I'm busy. Quote
Falcon Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 man, I was too busy messing with ma' brand spaking new VF-171 I got today i missed it.... I got 2 with NY but 14000 Yen sounds a lot better.... 16,000 isn't too bad either to be fair. It isn't unreasonably priced Quote
ff95gj Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I had the damn page ready for three days, figures it hits while I'm busy. Hell, it was lunch time for me. Quote
erikos0311 Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 16,000 isn't too bad either to be fair. It isn't unreasonably priced True,true, but when you add them together, thats like 40 bucks i can put towards another Bandai!, lol If I dont score one or two from HLJ, i think I will just pick the cheapest shipping option from NY so I don't feel so robbed..!

Duymon Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Just went back up! *EDIT .. And back down O_o yeesh the 25A must be much more popular than the CF-171. This one was up for maybe 45 seconds before it sold out at HLJ..... Edited July 3, 2013 by Duymon Quote
Falcon Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Just went back up! *EDIT .. And back down O_o yeesh the 25A must be much more popular than the CF-171. This one was up for maybe 45 seconds before it sold out at HLJ..... Went up on HLJ again? I was just on there seconds ago and it was still unavailable. Must have just missed it Oh well. Here's hoping for another go Quote
Duymon Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 It was up for less than 10 seconds the second time... 1 refresh later and it was gone lol (my auto refresh is set to 10 seconds) Quote
ErikElvis Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I just went down to get a bowl of cereal and missed it. Quote

I preordered the Ryuohmaru just to see if it would show up in my orders section, then I cancelled it O_o Was just running some tests because i was so worried about the Vf-25A not showing up yet :0 Well.. tough luck I guess. At least the difference was only about 300yen. And I could just ship my Ryuohmaru together with my 25A from Hobby Search I had the damn page ready for three days, figures it hits while I'm busy. Hell, it was lunch time for me. Likewise, lunch time for me, decided to go a little later and it paid off Quote
master of macross Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 last copy 3x vf171cf, 3x rvf25 and trd copy of yf29 30° ann wait the next vf25a Quote
Duymon Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Weird... I just got another order confirmation now from HLJ for a 2nd VF-25A on my primary account O_o In the crazy clickfest when ordering my first VF-25A, I got an error 404 and refreshed the page twice...... What should I do O_o Quote
SaitouSad Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 wouldn't they not allow it any way? If you don't want it, just cancel it I guess Quote
