Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 agree if i remember correctly the vf-25g place holder was there for several weeks Quote
Arrowyn Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 ARRGHH!!! Got cart jacked.. and then I had to go for a meeting.... LOL Saitou- I thought you'd said CAR-jacked...! I'm all like "Dude, are you OK?? We're worried about a friggin TOY, an you've been robbed!" I'm glad you're only as hurt as the rest of us unlucky ones w/o a preorder. Quote
Duymon Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) There's still Otacute, HObby search and anime-export. Just hope you get one when / if they open up a pre-order. Edited April 3, 2013 by Duymon Quote

I'm glad you're only as hurt as the rest of us unlucky ones w/o a preorder. hahaha! The concern is most appreciated. But yes.. I'm just one of those equally "emotionally" hurt in this whole fiasco. You know what the worst part is? This whole cycle will be repeated once we see a VF-25S reissue down the road (oh you know it's happening) Quote
erikos0311 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 There's still Otacute, HObby search and anime-export. Just hope you're one that gets it when the pre-order opens up you think they will open tonight?? or should I say this morning???? lol Quote
Duymon Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 no clue. I'm going to be up all night anyways. Shift doesn't end for another 3.5 hours so I'll keep a lookout Quote
Duymon Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I think all sites limit number you can order cept for NY, because they let me get 2 :0 Quote
erikos0311 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) is there anywhere in South Korea that you can just go and pick one of these up?? like Seoul or a big city??? I have a buddy of mine in Seoul now and will be back to the US in a couple of months...... wondering if i should ask him to look for one for me??? anyone? or are these just online exclusives??

Valk-1S Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Don't you all miss Yamato now? Graham With Yamato you get a different frustration. Buy early to see the item go on sale down the road and sometimes at huge discounts. Or buy early to see Yamato re-release the same item with QC issues fixed and get extra parts on the re-releases.

Loop Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Don't you all miss Yamato now? Graham Missed them since the Arcadia announcement Quote
Valk-1S Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I think all sites limit number you can order cept for NY, because they let me get 2 :0 Like Duymon said, most website limit to 1 per person. HLJ varies. Sometimes 1, sometimes 3. Really depends on them. NY on the other has no limit which is probably why their preorder went quickly. Quote

Or buy early to see Yamato re-release the same item with QC issues fixed and get extra parts on the re-releases. Yamato - Pay more earlier(MSRP and not for every release) or wait for it to get cheap Bandai - Be amiami's president's daughter's toyboy or pay through the nose, or even more if you wait(3xMSRP). ???

BlueMax Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Missed them since the Arcadia announcement QFT. Always thought and still think they are the best toy company that happened to Macross collectors Quote

If you ask me, this kind of frustration is way easier to bear, and I am not frustrated by it at all! (Think of the poor folks who missed the boat for 1/60 M&Ms and Virgin road). Maximum you lose if they go on discount is what? 50% tops? Compare this with Bandai: Most are not able to get them for retail, and can prices they can command can go easily in excess of 150% or the MSRP, not to mention the fact you need to spend alot of effort looking out for deals and stuff. Yamato (easily) anytime for me. Quote
SaitouSad Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Anndd.. it's gone.. OMG... I can;'t believe it.. my fingers are trembling.. did I actually score 1? Quote
Arrowyn Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 QFT. Always thought and still think they are the best toy company that happened to Macross collectors Yar, (beautiful sculpts aside) even if just for the competition against Bandai! Quote
neoexcaliber Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Woohooo! All those months of patiently waiting finally paid off. Now I don't have to fork out 300 bucks for a vf-25f. Quote
Loop Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Son of a bitch, stepped away to take a leak and I missed it Quote
miro79 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 missed every preorder today so far... maybe otacute... Quote
SaitouSad Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Sorry to hear, Loop.. I was just randomly refreshing and saw it by chance... It was gone pretty fast Quote
Lolicon Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Son of a bitch, stepped away to take a leak and I missed it Oh my god that sucks. Damn that window was so short. About 20 seconds from update scanner alert to finishing checkout and it was closed when I returned to the item page. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Dang it. About 5 mins after I gave up going to Hobby Search, and started refreshing N-Y again... Quote
TCracker Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Woohooo! All those months of patiently waiting finally paid off. Now I don't have to fork out 300 bucks for a vf-25f. Great news. Now your YF-29 will have company, seriously, this is a fantastic mold. I got one in too. Edited April 3, 2013 by TCracker Quote
