DX Chogokin Super VF-27

[pikashoo]

I just preordered 2 at NY

[Shukenzero]

Well I want Venusaur. Shame I didn't preorder the Blastoise. I may have to find it elsewhere. Good luck in securing a VF-27. I'll be clicking like the rest of you

[PsYcHoDyNaMiX]

NY already sold out. Didn't even get to order one.

NY Onsale no !!!!!

[SaitouSad]

holy crap! That was early! And it's gone... guess next batches will be at the inflated price.

[Guest davidwhangchoi]

damn, that was early, was playing a ps1 emulator

[Shukenzero]

When will the next batch go up for preorder?

[pikashoo]

they told me i cant take 2. 1 should be coming back down the pike soon. Keep that browser refreshing!

unitil they mark it up, then you can order all you want when they scalp.

[Shukenzero]

How long til the mark up?

[Guest davidwhangchoi]

How long til the mark up?

no one knows, it may be anytime or a few hours...

[Shukenzero]

no one knows, it may be anytime or a few hours...

thanks that was annoying though...just one preorder is enough!

[Duymon]

Jesus Christ I go for a break expecting the window to be at 0300 and I miss this at NY..gaaah

[moose]

is amiami up for preorder yet

[Shukenzero]

Hoping NY will cough up more come 16.00 Japan time

[moose]

I know NY does a preorder then close and then reopens at a higher price

[Shukenzero]

Willing to get a preorder off yahoo auctions if everything else falls through

[moose]

So according to Amiami preoders start at 2013/05/08 16:00～ what is that 4:00 pm Japan time that 4 hours from now

[Loop]

Amiami seems to be luck of the draw, I always seem to get them in the cart but the page gets Macross DDOS attacked, then I can't check out

[Shukenzero]

Bandai seems to be better stocked for the last few releases...hope we all strike lucky

[skullmilitia]

Man 210 is the low price? Yeah I'm sitting this one out.

[pikashoo]

NY just took away the 2nd one I ordered so it might be coming back up. unless they save that one for the marked up price.

One at the discount rate with the cheapest shipping rate came out to 22,680 yen cant complain though better than nothing.

Have not seen it yet, but they have it price at MSRP. I think they will bump it up at the next opening.

[xrentonx]

Got home and had a quick shower and look what I missed

Edit: probably a good idea that we post the links every new page as we see em:

[Guest davidwhangchoi]

my advice is no one should go to the bathroom for the next 5 hours everytime someone does, something bad happens.

[raptormesh]

I have a sneaky suspicion that we're having more fun with the game than actually owning it...

[SaitouSad]

I kinda agree. It is exciting to camp and the rush of having obtained one is simply awesome. But the forfeit for losing this "game" is to cough up the dough for a mark up.. if you can even get one. and that, is a pretty penny, considering the discount on some sites comparing to MSRP.

[Loop]

Well I guess some of us find it fun, the ones who hate sleep and love heartbreak and disappointment, then the excitement of getting one at a higher price when all else fails. The whole Bandai Pre-order experience is Bipolar I tell you.

[Guest davidwhangchoi]

i prob know i'll be able to secure one from ny, but just once i want to see if i can successfully get an amiami pre-order once in my lifetime.

if bandai valk preorders was a race with medals

gold: amiami

silver hobby search

bronze: hlj

[raptormesh]

Well what doesn't kill your wallet only makes it stronger...right?

[Shukenzero]

When do we expect NY to bump up the price and spit it out?

[xrentonx]

I've never gotten Amiami but I've had HLJ a few times, CDJapan, Anime Export, and Hobbysearch...but yeah, just ONCE would be nice!

Pretty much made up my mind I'm in for ONE and ONE only for this mold. Unless they release the cannon fodder then I'm in for one of those too. Can't take the risk that they'll never release a better version even though this one still looks off to me.

How does it look odd? To me it's slightly wider than expected, but if it's any thinner we'd be complaining it's a Yammie with snapping joints.

[xrentonx]

That would be it...it looks a little broader in Battroid mode. Doesn't matter because she's staying in fighter mode

[Shukenzero]

If you're going to keep it in fighter, just get a V1. Same deal and less of a hassle.
