DX VF-25 Renewal Series (Part III)

[Pedro2k6]

From PlayAsia?

Sorry....from HLJ

[Saburo]

I like how you say "for 2014" so many new offerings from Bandai next year too.

Hehe exactly. Nothing Macross is being released in Dec from what I remember, so it will be a nice break for the end of 2014. 2015 is looking to be another painful year for the bank account.

[Saburo]

Just got my Ozma shipping notice EMS from NY.

Wow! Business is good for Bandai (and retailers)! =) We should put up our own shop! XD

[wmkjr]

It'll probably reappear with a higher markup.

[McFly!!]

NY has it open for orders again, Y19k

[Loop]

When I got mine pre-ordered from NY it was 14,280 Yen. It is currently up at NY and available for 19,000 Yen.

[BuGS21]

Got that "Preparation in Progress" status on PlayAsia as well. Just have to wait and see.

NY is really one of the more expensive retailers... check out their price for the PG Unicorn LED unit:

one is order stop, one is available for PO. NY know their stuff haha

I checked Yahoo auctions and people are willing to bid 14 to 17k for to get one 25S

[Valk-1S]

wonder if hlj will put some up for sale soon...

Probably not as they have not fulfilled all their orders yet. I also got my order quite early but have not receive a request for payment. And even if they managed to fulfilled one per person, then they have the multiples up next to complete.

HLJ's price is actually 9,600 yen. The MSRP is shown on the product page once orders stop. The listing page will show the actual price HLJ offers.

Finally got shipping notice (SAL registered) from N-Y.

[wmkjr]

Got payment confirmation from HLJ for the 2 ozmas on order and are now in the PW. Hopefully more peeps get their notifications.

[Valk-1S]

they shipping 1 of my 2 order, the second is still there.

That's interesting that you managed to get 2 from HLJ as Pedro2k6 only got one of his paid.

[wmkjr]

I know strange. Maybe they stopped over the weekend and continued today.

[Pedro2k6]

Yeah....that's weird....I hope they fulfill my second order.

[Valkyrie Magnus]

The ETA of my Valkyries were pushed back from today to next Monday

[mechaninac]

Received N-Y's shipping notification for my VF-25S this morning. Now to wait 2-3+ weeks for it to be delivered. Still waiting for some contact from Playasia; however, checking my account, it gives its status as "Preparing Order"... fingers crossed.

The way HLJ is doing the 25S orders gives more credence to first come, first served processing. It is interesting that international shipments seemed to slow over the weekend, though. I was hoping for more positive reports from fellow MW members today. If HLJ is doing another sale at the end of the week, then maybe that preparation is taking up some of their time as well? I don't know. It would be nice to get more good news within the next couple of days.

Scored one from NY, got sick of playing the waiting game. It came out to $199 shipped EMS so $19 more than play asia.

Ozma is up on Nippon Yasan for $190.00. I just bought one (my second reissue copy). It is 8:24am Eastern.

In my opinion, I see nothing wrong with the $190 price point given how the last years have been for everyone trying to chase one of these and the prices they were bought for in the past. For me, Ozma is a solid $250 and under all day long until a 3rd reissue comes along.

How did you get EMS for $9.00? Did you have a coupon?

I didnt, total price came out to ¥23000, ¥4000 of that in EMS alone. With the current exchange rate it came out to $199

[technoblue]

To me, that looks like the difference of 19000JPY plus shipping. Paying the yen price, saves about $30US,

[Benson13]

Is it safe to assume that if HLJ hasn't ask for money yet my Ozma dreams are dead?

Sometimes it takes time for them to send out payment request or cancellation notice. So i suggest emailing them or wait it out.

I've got "processing" from Play Asia. Still not going to get my hopes up.

[wm cheng]

Ah.... I just checked NY this morning and the add to cart button was up, but by the time I checked out and paid, I got a status of "Awaiting Refund" immediately - does that mean someone bought it while I was checking out and its gone now?!

[skullmilitia]

Silly NY, They sent me a bunch of "In Stock" notices, I clicked the first one with the lowest price, and it honored it on the website.

I bought one from them, just in case PlayAsia doesn't come through. If they do, Then I'll sell the extra one.

It was only 10$ more.

[CharlesXavier]

I paid for my VF-25S from HLJ on Saturday. Still processing to date. Anyone got a shipping notice yet?

I think HLJ may be sorting out their stock and pre-orders so it might take a few days before everyone will get their payment notice.

Also, HLJ might not go by 1st come 1st serve. My friend's order number is way ahead of mine but he only got his payment notice today. We both ordered 1 piece.
