SaitouSad Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) and it's gone.. that was relatively fastEdit: Scratch that. Still available it seems Edited August 5, 2014 by SaitouSad Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 come on guys, panic and buy, complain later:) Quote
Gakken85 Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Yeah I remember getting $30 dollar EMS for my soundwave back in Feb of 2013 and it's twice the size in terms of box. They are gouging with shipping too. But if I find it somewhere else I just won't pay. If they ban me, they ban me. At least I'll have one saved haha Edited August 5, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 come on guys, panic and buy, complain later:) Nope, I'll save my $ 40 and complain NOW. -b. Quote

erikos0311 Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Well , I scored one with NY on my phone !! LoL. Just incase HLJ does not go thru..., I just emailed them regarding my defective Arcadia YF-19 (cracked cockpit) and took the chance to ask them about the Ozmas. Always have a back-up plan. Quote
mog_kupo Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 And went and ordered one, though it's at a higher price than everywhere else, is better than the current prices for an Ozma right now And damn their shipping costs, they keep rising those too Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 lol Seriously! LOL And they want to get you with outrageous shipping too! I'll be happy with my single, 3 year (or however old it is) Renewal 25S that's sitting in Armor Parts and go about my merry way. The only way N-Y will stop that foolishness is if people stop buying at ridiculous mark-ups, which apparently won't happen. And thanks for proving me wrong Bandai, you are indeed idiots for not providing enough stock to satisfy even the most basic market demand. -b. Quote
Chronocidal Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Looks like they're out again.. tried to get one, canceled on checkout. Quote
technoblue Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Oh well. I thought I would follow erikos and get a backup for hlj, but I was too slow. Anyway, I ordered early at hlj and I ordered only 1, so I think I should be safe...for now... Quote

SaitouSad Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I wonder how long HLJ will take to sort out their order / stock allocation before doing the cancellation.. Surely they're not gonna wait till the actual release date are they? Quote
no3Ljm Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Woohoo! Ordered one! Finally I'm going to have my own Ozma. Decided just to get one since the price went up. Was hoping to get two if the first price still remained. But atleast it's not so bad for the price to customize this one. Now all I need is to look for a not-so-harmful-red-sticker-on-valk to use. I choose the regular shipping with tracking and insurance just to save atleast $20. So happy since it didn't pass my $200 budget mark. Edited August 5, 2014 by no3ljm Quote
Gakken85 Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Idk, for something that's been selling for $400+ for over a year... a $30 dollar markup isn't much if you really want one. With registered air mail.. which is only about $30 bucks, it's right at $200. Not insane for a hero Bandai Valk. I agree it sucks, but it's either than or pray you're online when HLJ puts up their tiny stock. Or pray they make more and flood the market like they did with Alto... which I personally think will happen. Edited August 5, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote
ErikElvis Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 i was going to say screw it and order 2 but ems was a pure gouge at $115. Quote
Lolicon Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I've never paid above MSRP for any Bandai valkyrie and would like to maintain that track record, as tempting as another 25S is. Of course it's much easier to pass when you already have one and not been waiting years for Bandai to reissue... Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Bah! I only ordered 1 with HLJ and I'm fairly sure it was around when they first opened up. If I get one fine. If not, I'll just open up the one I already have to keep me busy. Quote
neoexcaliber Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I wonder how long HLJ will take to sort out their order / stock allocation before doing the cancellation.. Surely they're not gonna wait till the actual release date are they? 2 weeks after release? Maybe a month? They won't know who's not paying up till after release anyway. Quote
wolfx Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Got my backup NY one. If HLJ's one goes through, i might cancel the NY one or get it for another fan near me willing to pay the premium pricing, which I still feel is ok since i paid premium for YF-30 lol. Quote
Gakken85 Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 The yf-30 at HLJ hasn't budged since it opened up a month or so ago. Quote
skullmilitia Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 There's no guarantee about HLJ, they open preorders for 90% of what they order because it's usually the percentage they get shorted In the past releases by Bandai. That 10% if aquired hits on release day. Unless Bandai allows reordering, then they will put up more before then like the 25F. Quote
close313 Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I almost got one of the $350 25S' at jungle a month ago,which were all sold out a few days before my paycheck arrived (phew!). If i didn't get my POs I would have been ready to chuck out my money for one at NY's since I was ready to pay THAT much. Though I have some doubts about the release as it may also end up like Ozma's YF-29, where it is only available beyond MSRP after release. It's Ozma after all. Quote
wolfx Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 The yf-30 at HLJ hasn't budged since it opened up a month or so ago. what do you mean? Its order stopped on HLJ. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I had one at NY just now. I got a confirmation email, and cancellation email at the same time... Quote
