Someone has had a bad experience at every shop imaginable, so it's naive to think one shop is somehow 100% squeaky clean with no bad experiences ever. HLJ has ticked me off quite a few times in the past 20 years they've been open... Quote
iguanaman8989 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Preordered Mikumo and Freyja, probably gonna end up with the whole group, since five Walkure members are substantially cheaper than DX Delta Platoon. Should snag the Mirage Figurarts Zero too... Quote
spanner Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 just went and picked up my Mirage figure from the post office. Haven't had a chance to open up the box for a closer inspection as im still at work but from what I can see from outside the box she looks pretty nice! Rockin an insane figure in her flight suit that's for sure! Quote
spanner Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Mirage is lovely! looks great on display alongside a VF-31! Quote
Moosey Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Nice Spanner! I can't wait to have her alongside her own Valk (if I can get a pre-order and if N-Y ever post my figure - still no shipping notification) Quote

I can't wait to have her alongside her own Valk (if I can get a pre-order and if N-Y ever post my figure - still no shipping notification) yeah same! her spot here is only temporary until her 31 arrives. If you haven't already emailed NY then I'd email them again. Keep it polite and just ask when they expect to ship your item out. Quote

Slave IV Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Or, just sit back, relax and wait for it to arrive. I doubt they are sitting on your items, purposely messing with you by not shipping them. Sometimes things happen and other things get delayed. If you do contact them, definitely be polite about it but if I was working there, it would just be annoying to get messages about something already on the to-do list especially if the delay is because they are busy and reading more messages takes up even more time they could spend actually doing the things people are asking for. Again, if it's been an issue where you never got something from them and it's ruining your life by not having a figure right away, cool. Just saying... Quote

The important lesson I learned from buying stuff online esp international is patience. Just saying it too... But as everyone knows here, myself included... it's not MacrossWorld if you don't have complaints. Edited February 8, 2017 by no3Ljm Quote
Lolicon Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 He bought and paid for an item. NY should ship it out in a prompt and timely manner. NY taking his money then not shipping it out and not telling him why is pretty shady and he has every right to ask what the reason for the delay is or to ask them to please ship it out as they're supposed to. If NY can't handle answering customer inquiries while doing the rest of their jobs, then that's their problem. This is not about someone's world being "ruined" by one item. Quote
Slave IV Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Every right sure...just saying what I would do. Anyways, no big deal to me and just chiming in because it seemed like people want responses about their concerns from NY and other posters here. Quote

Since I paid promptly and all, you think it's unreasonable I want them to post me my stuff? I'm very well aware about waiting patiently for international orders, I've done it for many years. There's a limit to how long i'll sit with my thumb up my ass waiting for someone to post something I paid for. Never suggested it was ruining my life either. Just having a chat about it on an internet forum with those in a similar situation, or with similar experiences ye know? Quote
Slave IV Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Ya, all good. I just figure in the scheme of things, these are just toys. Really cool toys but it really doesn't matter if I get them sooner or later...I just enjoy them when they arrive. I hope I was never gyped and never received something I paid for but I have no idea, lol. Things just showup on my doorstep regularly and it's like Christmas. Quote

I have to agree completely. What one has to realize is they are providing a service in which we the customers are paying for. Upon receiving payment from the customer NY are now obligated to fulfill that service and any issues in regards to delivering that service should not fall back on to the customer. The customer should also be notified should an issue arise, Its as simple as that. Im sure there is a specific section in the forum for discussing vendor related issues so we should probably get back to topic eh.. Quote
hachi Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Figuarts Zero Mirage's left arm can actually rotate, but the range is limited. I would have liked to pose her holding something other than her helmet, but I'm too lazy right now and have no props. My idea is to have her holding a drink or something. (Maybe a knife?? Would be funny...) Quote
spanner Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Yeah I did notice her left arm moves a little which im sure is done in order to find the best possible position to hold her helmet but has anyone had issues with her continually dropping her helmet? Has happened a few times already and I just cant seem able to find that sweet spot so it doesn't fall out. Woke up this morning and sure enough it had fallen out again.. Quote
vlenhoff Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) She can drop my helmet all she wants. Edited February 9, 2017 by vlenhoff reason: stupidity Quote

spanner Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Freyja looks cute but its a no buy for me.. Im still considering the Figuarts figures though. Quote
Slave IV Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Yeah, I'm buying all the figuarts already so I can just make those figures do the same pose if needed. Quote

Yeah , at that price might as well get the figuart , besides i will never put a figure on top of boiling hot soup , i can already picture it turning yellow due to chicken flavor . Quote

Moosey Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Yay! NY have finally shipped Mirage. Better late than never I suppose. Quote

no3Ljm Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Could it be that they're just 'radio silent' to customers when they're low on actual stock and can't deliver on time? And they're just waiting for their supplier to fill the stocks and keep customers wait without notification? Bad practice I should say. It's like NY can bombard you with emails and notifications regarding your payments but you can't bombard them with email questions in return. And it's like super accommodating prior the sale with good talks and whatnot but right after the payment you are left to rot. Quote
Moosey Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Agreed Lolicon. That was my thought too Noel. Maybe they didn't get enough stock or something or took too many preorders and were waiting to get more in. Either way it's just poor customer service. Not that I expect a great deal from them given my previous experiences shopping there. They were completely unapologetic and unhelpful when my VF-0D arrived with the speedbrake broken off. I swore off them then but couldn't find Mirage anywhere else (for a reasonable price anyway) i guess you could say you get what you pay for! As long as they can be bothered to post it! Quote
