spanner Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Booyah! Replacement 25F from Mandarake for $136 AUD shipped! Cheapest I ever paid for a valk! whoa!! fantastic price! well done mate! Glad you were finally able to find a replacement! now be careful with this one ok! Quote
mickyg Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 That price is an absolute steal! I haven't seen them that cheap, ever. Quote
Pedro2k6 Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 HLJ Just sent me the payment request for 1 VF-25F that I order in July. I hope we can expect the same kind of behavior for the VF-25S. Quote
mickyg Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Dude, that's great news! Hope I get a request soon too. Quote
Pedro2k6 Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 I order 2....but only get one request.....and I cancel the second, I don't need 6. Quote
Duymon Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 I know it'll never happen, but I always wanted a plain low viz VF-25 Or perhaps an Itasha 25F? :0 Quote
Scyla Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 I would buy thee of the Itasha Valkyries. One with Sheryl, one with Cathy and one with Grace. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 I would buy three of that low viz Me too. That is if a pre-order, or one, or two, or three could actually be secured (you know, at or below retail). -b. Quote
pikashoo Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Holla! http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-118410 C'mon slowpokes, THERE'S 28 LEFT!!! Edited September 9, 2014 by pikashoo Quote
David Hingtgen Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 10 mins and still up, must have caught people off-guard. Quote
mickyg Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Hmmm... Interesting that this one shows a "proper" purple gun. Is this normal for the media shots or is this somehow different from previous releases? Quote
barurutor Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Already overpaid for mine at N-Y during the pre-order madness. Thanks, Bandai Quote
Keiichi Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Got one too, thank you for the heads up, pikashoo! Had to call my card issuer to approve the transaction, it seems like a common issue as CD Japan explains it in their FAQ. But hell yeah for staying up late! I think AmiAmi had preorders open for a brief time earlier today as well. When you search "DX Chogokin" the VF-25S is at the top of the results and it does not say "Sold Out" underneath the link. Of course, when you click on the listing it shows that preorders are actually closed. Quote
Falcon18 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 8 left. People must still be asleep. Considering cdjapan opened up more orders, I'm now more confident that hlj will fulfill mine. Quote
CRYO Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Good, I get one waived shipping cost with my points Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 ok it's confirmed that these are being massed produced. no more panic Quote
wm cheng Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 ok it's confirmed that these are being massed produced. no more panic Really?! It's confirmed that these are being massed produced or are you just saying that because there were 28 left? Quote
Pedro2k6 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) 8 left. People must still be asleep. Considering cdjapan opened up more orders, I'm now more confident that hlj will fulfill mine. Amen to that. Edited September 9, 2014 by Pedro2k6 Quote
wm cheng Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Well crap. Missed it again... Yep, same here... its 3:45am our time. Thank my guardian angel TechnoBlue (if HLJ doesn't fink out on us?) I hate not knowing. So is there any confirmation that this is being massed produced and will become available when they are issued? Quote
Falcon18 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 It's not confirmed. It's just speculation. Considering cdjapan managed to open 28 (maybe more?) orders, it could mean that there are more being produced. Keep checking online retailers. I'm sure more will pop out before release and will sell out quick after. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Really?! It's confirmed that these are being massed produced or are you just saying that because there were 28 left? edite: deleted any jokes this morning. no, but it's obvious circumstantial confirmation... especially from a place like cd japan taken more orders. i shouldn't go too far and say it's "massed" produced yet but i'm getting to it soon if one more opens up.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) edite: don't want to poke fun this morning. TBH, i do remember yf-29 ozma opening up several times at cdjapan and else where and satin open for days, but once it was released it was sold out fast and so hard to find. so mass produced is going "too far." but i can say this: there's a 90% chance more pre-orders will open up before release. Edited September 9, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote
chyll2 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 was it CD japan that has the longest open time that accepts PO for 25S? Quote
SaitouSad Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 awww nuts.. was in a long meeting when it hit. Ah well. better luck next time I guess.Here's hoping it's a good sign Quote

Agree. I think too that the way this works will be the same like the YF-29. So now's the best time to get it. Hope those that haven't gotten theirs yet manages to get one.

Have to agree, that while not confirmed it is very likely the 25S will see more stock released the closer we get to release and at release. But in no way does anyone expect this to be a shelf-warmer. was it CD japan that has the longest open time that accepts PO for 25S? You're probably thinking of Play-Asia. -b. Quote
vsim Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Yep, missed it too, but thanks for the post saying it was up! And yes, Play Asia had the ridiculously long open time for POs. I got a PO, but I seriously doubt I will ever see it . Quote
Valk-1S Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 If Amiami, Hobby Search or HLJ opens their preoders again and last for a good amount of time, then I would say they are producing in large numbers. CD Japan open their orders when people don't expect them to, which is why it lasted that long. If they re-open it the day or day after the pre order date, it would have gone quickly. Still, I think it's not going to be easy to get like the YF-25. It might be similar to the VF-25F first reissue (not the second reissue) where there's opportunities to get during release but small window frame. Time will tell. Quote
Gakken85 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I don't see how every re-issue has been a flood of product, yet Ozma doesn't make the cut. I'm sure more will open up everywhere. Quote
McFly!! Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) HLJ Just sent me the payment request for 1 VF-25F that I order in July. I hope we can expect the same kind of behavior for the VF-25S. When is it going to be my turn, Bandai?!? Lol Edited September 20, 2014 by McFly!! Quote
matic Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Feeling a little weird haven't bought a valk in awhile. Quote
