neoexcaliber Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 And gone. It's still up. Try refreshing. Quote
Kurisama Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 You're right! Refreshed a few times then it came up - got one Quote
anime52k8 Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) I haven't read a single post in this thread since these first went live but I bet I can guess how the conversation has gone. First everyone flipped out trying to find a pre-order to jump on, then everyone started cursing bandai, then somebody said they secured 5 for themselves then people started throwing around the word scalper, then lupin showed up and went on an angry rant about how unfair a hypothetical situation that doesn't even effect him is and then got really indigent when people called him out on his BS. oh, and just ordered one from NY, don't know why.

ah_t00t Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 First thing in the morning refresh that page & ordered!!! lol Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Got one as well! Did it restart at $151? Or at 183.36? Quote
xrentonx Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Started at $151.00, I believe. So it's a little over $30 premium for them to send one of their guys around to buy up stock in the brick and mortars maybe... ...and down. Hope most of you guys got one! Edited March 4, 2013 by xrentonx Quote

mechaninac Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Missed it by about 15 minutes... I hope Hobbyfan comes through, but I'll still attempt a preorder with HLJ if I happen to catch it. Edited March 4, 2013 by mechaninac Quote
miro79 Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 thanks for the heads up! got in on one because of your posts yeah me too! Thanks for posting! Quote
Loop Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 OMG, was not looking for a few minutes and missed it again.... Quote
xrentonx Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Yeah. I'm gonna keep a lookout for HLJ even though I only need one of these things. I'll probably end up throwing it up on here (at my cost plus shipping) for anyone not fortunate enough to preorder. I think that's the only way many of us aren't gonna get severely scalped. Quote
ErikElvis Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 GD'it. I looked a little before 9. Watched Walking Dead and checked in.... Gone Quote
mass driver Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Unbelievable. Even old faithful, Nippon-yasan is out. Guess I'll just have to wait till they have a restock or a MW'er who is willing to sell me one. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 damn i've never wanted an winterming green valk before....wtf. haha i don't know if its the challenge of finding one thats drawing me or the "completionist" in me....i skipped him in V1, but oddly i really want this version alll of a sudden.

neoexcaliber Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Knowing NY, it'd be back up in a few hours but at a slightly higher price. At least that's what happened with the 171 CF. Quote
Phalanix Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Edit: oops, n/m late to the game (again). Can't believe I missed it. Checked NY a few minutes before the post about it going up, no updates. Check back later, it's gone. lol Edited March 4, 2013 by Phalanix Quote
Edi Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Why am I not surprised that I missed it again. I was catching up on Continuum and decided to check here, and bam, grayed out. Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Sigh. That's what I get for playing Macross 30 all evening. Quote
Edi Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 How is Macross 30? I was debating on buying it, but since I don't understand Japanese I have a feeling I'm going to get lost in the menus and such. Quote
ff95gj Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 How is Macross 30? I was debating on buying it, but since I don't understand Japanese I have a feeling I'm going to get lost in the menus and such. Did you play the PSP Macross games? Basically an enhanced version. The gameplay is generally the same, with "RPG" elements to collect items and simple quests. Back to topic; Nippon Yasan always impresses me with how many orders they manage to entertain. My guess is they will come back again with the same price for another round of preorder, and after that, the price will increase again. Quote

I have a feeling it's going to re-open the next window when I'm asleep. LOL Quote

Scyla Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Hehehe, I'm with you master. Just got up and saw that I missed it again. Still it's getting rather expensive now. Managed to pre-order a VF-171CF for $170 with shipping. Calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean. *seesaw* At least the weather is nice... Quote
Golden Arms Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Placed order with Hobby fan. Hopefully they will come through. I'll continue to monitor NY and HLJ as time permits. Quote
master of macross Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 i hate this bandai politic...is not possible...we don't buy our loved pieces of macross...i hate that...YAMATO, WHERE ARE YOU? Quote
MC-2 Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 I see all the usernames reading this topic at the bottom -this couldn't be good for our collective health, right guys? Hehe. Quote
xrentonx Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Back up! http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/4696-macross-f-dx-chogokin-rvf-25-messiah-valkyrie-luca-angelloni-custom-renewal-version.html Quote
