emmanneuel Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 *cry* That's saddening indeed , all the days of stalking Otacute was wasted. Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 NY is back up at 25000 JPY http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/5088-macross-f-dx-chogokin-vf-27-lucifer-valkyrie-super-parts-set.html Quote
SaitouSad Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 All those people who were stalking Otacute should really pick this one up now.. or pray shops will have stock leftover when it's released Quote
Scyla Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Seems like we have reached a price ceiling for this toy. Quote
Dobber Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Yup just pre-ordered. Too bad I couldn't get it for a better price but considering how much the Frontier Valks cost and how much the separate fast packs cost for them it kind of evens out....if I ignor what others got this for. Chris Quote
Duymon Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 A quick look at Rakuten Japan and Yahoo Auctions shows that shops are charging more than NY is, sometimes by quite a margin. Quote
Guyffon Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) I finally manage to preorder one, its not the ideal price but i guess its better than nothing, in other news i just received my NIB VF-25S Edited May 13, 2013 by Guyffon Quote

Guyffon Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I got it at 30k, but for NIB I guess it was worth it, i really love the head of the S its my fav version Quote
Shukenzero Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 I got it at 30k, but for NIB I guess it was worth it, i really love the head of the S its my fav version You have the super and armour parts for it? Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 NY is back up again and still at 25000 JPY http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/5088-macross-f-dx-chogokin-vf-27-lucifer-valkyrie-super-parts-set.html Quote
Guyffon Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 You have the super and armour parts for it? Yup got the super parts for 4K yen and I actually ordered the alto's armored parts but the seller sent me ozma's ones instead, so I got his armored parts too, that set cost me ard USD150 Quote

Only looks good with armour. I wish they put it on the 25G though Quote
Guyffon Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Yup hope the super parts for the 25G comes out soon Quote
Scyla Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Yup hope the super parts for the 25G comes out soon Noooooo they should release the Renewal Tornado Parts for the G first! Quote
SaitouSad Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Now I know why Otacute isn't taking preorders for VF-27s With much regret and sadness Otacute will be closing for business. We sincerely apologize for the sudden notification and will do our very best to ensure a smooth closing. Of course, we intend to honor all running pre-orders with us. Based on the release dates for running pre-orders we expect the website to be operating up to around October, but this may change depending on manufacturing delays and so forth. As for immediate adjustments, we plan to stop advertizing and accepting pre-orders over the next couple of weeks and plan to stop accepting all new pre-orders and back-orders by May 31. In-stock products can still be purchased while we are operating. We would also like to note that we are accepting cancellations for products scheduled for release from September onwards. Your support and understanding is greatly appreciated. Quote
royard Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) Now I know why Otacute isn't taking preorders for VF-27s WHAT. Well, it's really dumb of them to not take orders for vf-27 if they plan to go until Oct. Why not recover some losses by selling a certainly profitable item? Okay, maybe they are worried they can't collect on those preorders? Edited May 16, 2013 by royard Quote

Why not recover some losses by selling a certainly profitable item? Okay, maybe they are worried they can't collect on those preorders? Yeah, that is probably the case. They intended to cancel preorders that are released in September. Frankly, I think it's amazing that they are still honouring preorders. Most shops would just disappear silently, and screw everybody over. Some would even collect the payment and then disappear with the money. Otacute are cool bros in my books for doing this. Quote
Lolicon Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Sorry to see them go. They were always a reliable shop for me. The last several years with the high yen have not been kind to Japanese businesses. Quote
Benson13 Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Has there been any news if the super pack will be released separately for the V.1's or if you can take them off the V.2's and put them on a V.1 without modification? Quote
Tober Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Yeah, that is probably the case. They intended to cancel preorders that are released in September.

Some would even collect the payment and then disappear with the money. Otacute are cool bros in my books for doing this. You don't pay upfront with Otacute pre-orders so you're protected by PayPal anyway. Sad to see them go tho. Quote

Looking at my own V1, i really doubt it would fit any super pack made for it let alone the V2's pack Quote

zzgundam010 Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Sadden that Otacute is closing. I have always have good experience with them. Quote
Valkyrie2008 Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Otacute closing, such a shocking and sad news! They’ve been such a good source for me to acquire the DX Macross Frontier toys, and friendly staff. I wonder what had happen, I thought their business was doing well. Quote
