wm cheng Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Same here. Hlj seems to be doing something though. The page change alarm seems to go off everyday and I have it set to only look at the "order stop" text on the page. How do you set it to scan for only the "order stop" text on the page? Are you using Update Scanner? Quote
xrentonx Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 I couldn't figure out how to do it with update scanner so I used the one for chrome. Quote
Tober Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 How do you set it to scan for only the "order stop" text on the page? Are you using Update Scanner? There is an add-on for Firefox called Alert Box we are using that scans specific text. Quote

wm cheng Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Hey is anyone still monitoring the HLJ link with AlertBox? I'm getting a timeout error; "The server at 10.10.10.103 is taking too long to respond." Edited July 12, 2012 by wm cheng Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Hey is anyone still monitoring the HLJ link with AlertBox? I'm getting a timeout error; "The server at 10.10.10.103 is taking too long to respond." I believe the entire HLJ site is bogged down. Could be due to the 'YF-29 VF-1S scheme' craze. Quote
Hikuro Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 oh wow now Nippon Yasan says they've got it in stock. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 I'll try to get it through HLJ paying MSRP. Quote
wm cheng Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) $233? F that. I'll try to get it through HLJ paying MSRP. +1 (thanks for the heads up though...) Edited July 13, 2012 by wm cheng Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Just got invoiced and paid for the VF-25S and F Armor parts from NY. Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 I just realized I posted in the wrong thread. =P What I meant was that I just got invoiced for the armor parts for both the VF-25S and VF-25F. Quote
Reïvaj Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Did you pay over $400+ for the VF-25S?! That's the current price. I remember it was very competitive by pre-order time, I think it wasn't more expensive than at HLJ. Quote
mechaninac Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Finally! Since I ordered both the VF-25F SP and VF-25S AP (and I don't even have an Ozma) at the same time with NY, I've been waiting a while to, at last, get these add-ons that I've already paid for when the payment request went out just before the SPs were released. I guess they'll start shipping out around the first week of August. Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 The email I received from NY said the release date was July 27 so that's when they anticipate shipping out. Quote
DarkHawk Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) I just checked th NY website for the VF-25G and it did say "in Stock". I scrolled down the page further and it said "Pre-order, send September 2012". Is it possible that the "pre-order" is in stock and not the actual product? Edited July 15, 2012 by DarkHawk Quote

PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 NY has them up at 18500yen: http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/2631-macross-f-dx-chogokin-vf-25g-messiah-valkyrie-michael-blanc-custom-renewal-version.html Quote
mgmalheiros Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Folks, run as the DX VF-25G is open for preorder at HLJ right now (almost full price, though): http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN976275 Edited August 9, 2012 by mgmalheiros Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Folks, run as the DX VF-25G is open for preorder at HLJ right now (almost full price, though): http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN976275 Still way better than paying over MSRP for one. Put in my pre-order for one. Thanks very much for the notice! Quote
Chronocidal Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Wait, what? I've had this preordered with NY for a while, I wonder if they're just sending out the payment requests now. No note from them on my end, since I paid ahead. Also, youch, that was fast, order stop at HLJ already. Edited August 9, 2012 by Chronocidal Quote
Valk-1S Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Folks, run as the DX VF-25G is open for preorder at HLJ right now (almost full price, though): http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN976275 Just saw it as well. Limit to one per customer. Wanted to order together with another person to save shipping but can't. Was hoping HLJ stick to their 3 limit but guess perhaps Bandai not supplying as much this time.

ps99042 Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 DAMN YOU BANDAI! Guy can't catch break with this toy line. Missed out cause I was putting the baby to bed. Quote
takatoys Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 It is still available! I was going to checkout and signed in, after that it said order stop. Reloaded the page again and went back to sept. release. Right then, I got one for pre-order. Lucky to check the forum at the right moment. Quote
mass driver Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 I don't know takatoys. I got my order in after the "order stop" too. I was able to place an order too but in my order, it says "order stop" and "item not available... will charge you when item becomes available". I think we're on the wait list or something. I guess we won't know until we e-mail the order department. Quote

Reloaded the page again and went back to sept. release. Right then, I got one for pre-order. Lucky to check the forum at the right moment. Lucky you! Someone might have dropped their pre-order just as you reloaded or maybe they were able to confirm a few more units. I wonder what packs they'll make available for the 25G. I'm guessing they'll do a super pack at the very least, but I hope they do a Tornado pack as I don't have one of those yet. Quote
Valk-1S Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 I was expecting HLJ to be able to offer more. Was shocked when the preorder closed soo fast considering it was limited to 1 per customer as well. I was lucky to get my order in. Also HLJ order now appears to go straight to your account rather than having to wait for someone to input you order into your account. If your order went through you should be able to view it as an open order now. Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Folks, run as the DX VF-25G is open for preorder at HLJ right now (almost full price, though): http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN976275 Good thing to know that Otacute price isn't much more than what HLJ's charging. Quote

I guess we won't know until we e-mail the order department. If you were able to checkout and if it shows on your open order list, then you have one reserved. I really don't want this VF-25G, but it will probably take a long time before we get an Ozma reissue. So in the meantime, I will take any renewal at a decent price.

Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 I missed it again too I guess bandai doesn't deserve my money. Won't pay scalper prices so more money to Yamato if I can't secure one. Quote

Thanks "mgmalheiros" for the heads up. By the way, how did you manage to find out about the open pre-order? It did not even show up on th HLJ front page. Is it really a hit or miss situation. Quote
