Sandman Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 YF-29 is still a go. The VF-171 was probably being ordered in the 3s. Quote
erock Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Had it in my cart, but was gone with about 2 clicks remaining to finish the order. That sucks man. I'm sure you'll score one later. Quote
Loop Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 They tend to open and close pre orders often. I have a feeling it will open back up at a higher price. Quote
Old Man Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Wow...I lucked out and placed an order at N-Y for a second unit not 10 minutes ago. Looks like they took the orders down again... Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Figures I'd be pulling into the driveway right as NY closes pre-orders again. Probably not gonna sweat it, since the first 171 is somewhat easy to find. I'll probably pay markup for this particular release if need be. Quote
MacrossChiu Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Figures I'd be pulling into the driveway right as NY closes pre-orders again. Probably not gonna sweat it, since the first 171 is somewhat easy to find. I'll probably pay markup for this particular release if need be. I think more people like the color of this 171 and some people even want 2-3 of them. It is totally different than the alto 171, most people only need to buy the white one once if they like it...Well, it is just my assumption though. Edited January 9, 2013 by MacrossChiu Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 And you could be right. It's certainly the only color I really care for. I'm not gonna sweat it either way. My 25G renewal is on it's way and I'd like to get a feel for how Bandai's build quality is before I get all huffy about not having one on pre-order. Up until the last two weeks, it had been a few years since I last bought a Valk. So I have plenty of back log to pick from as alternatives. Quote
MacrossChiu Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 It will look cool if u have 2-3 VF-171 CF to put beside/behind one of the main character's valk like your VF-25G. Quote
usagiz Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 I lucked out and got a pre order in with NY! Thanks to funkymonkeyjavajunky for the heads up! Quote
miriya Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 WTF? This is totally Fracked up! I really wanted this one. Quote
Renato Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 i have a feeling it won't be too hard to find in japan or anywhere in asia where bandai sells stuff....pretty much like every bandai macross F release recently. Like I said... they have all been rather hard to find. Quote
Duymon Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) YEEEES, got 3 of them mwah ahahahahahahaha Now I can breathe easy as I've obtained / preordered everything in this line Edited January 9, 2013 by Duymon Quote
kaiotheforsaken Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) BAM, got one that time. One in fighter mode with the radar (hopefully) and I'll be happy. Edited January 9, 2013 by kaiotheforsaken Quote
xrentonx Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Order placed for my second! I can stop camping NY now at least Edited January 9, 2013 by xrentonx Quote
Valkyrie2008 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Got one also, I wanted three but one is all I could afford. Thanks for the heads up Dwino! Edited January 9, 2013 by Valkyrie2008 Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Thanks guys! I preordered mine woo hooo! Quote
kyekye Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 This was another ridiculous nonsense adventure!!! At least I got one pre-ordered. Are those major online stores that stupid not to acquire enough stock? really? This is not even a exclusive item! Quote
Phalanix Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Is there a limit to the preorder? At Nippon Yasan? Doesn't seem so. Quote
Old Man Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 *Sigh* I couldn't help myself...preordered a third one. My wife is gonna KILL me! At least they didn't jack up the price again this time. Quote
neoexcaliber Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 ok...limits are off... game on! And there goes all the remaining preorder units. Quote
Old Man Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Do you think they'll let me combine shipping on 2 separate orders (I know, I'm an idiot and should've just added 2 to my cart the first time around)? Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Managed to secure a preorder on the 171 and YF 29 Fokker at NY. FedEx this time. Quote
Old Man Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 ...and it's down again. I hope everyone that wanted one was able to make a preorder. Quote
Chronocidal Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 I considered doing FedEx for my stuff, but noticed that their EMS price was $20 cheaper... figured the extra wasn't worth it this time around, since it won't be near holidays or anything when these come out. Quote
Lupin The Third Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 WTF? This is totally Fracked up! I really wanted this one. Shoot me a PM at release if you don't get one. I have 5 on reserve across a couple retailers and would gladly pass 1-2 on to fellow forumers in order to keep them out of the hands of the scalpers. Quote

Old Man Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Good man! Yeah, he ain't so bad after all Quote
Lupin The Third Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Yeah, he ain't so bad after all Haha. You like me, you really like me! Free Valks for everybody! Actually maybe I can finally trade for the VF-25S I have been yearning for...yeah, right. Lol. Quote
