Gakken85 Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) It is a little annoying that so many people PO multiples and then just turn around and sell them here at the same price haha. I can understand buying two, or evening PO'd 3 or 4 if you intend to design your display as such, but just to hoard PO's when you're not sure if you want them is pretty annoying. They should definitely limit their PO's at HLJ to 2 and only allow more if you're a faithful customer. Edited July 15, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote

It's all good, for the most part people here don't intentionally flip items, so if someone can get pre-order(s) for 5 of an item then I say more power to them. And hell, if they're selling them on the boards at cost then they get a +1 in my book. So someone sell me a YF-30 for what you paid at HLJ. -b. Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 For me I have no EMS shipping from CDJapan at all. HLJ is so much better because its 3k yen lower in the listing AND their EMS costs as much as CDJapans Registered SAL. Most likely not going to touch my orders. May cancel one though as idk if I really want 3. ¥20,000 same as CD Japan: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN986342/Act Quote

They should definitely limit their PO's at HLJ to 2 and only allow more if you're a faithful customer. Originally I PO'd two because I liked the look in all three modes and was going pose them in two of the three for display (and was holding out hope they would make another color scheme or two so I could have at least one in each mode later) but after finding out I need some dumb clip to hold it all together I'm just PO'd.

anubis20 Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Well i still need a PO if anyone would like to part with theirs LMK. Quote
ULessa Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 ¥20,000 same as CD Japan: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN986342/Act I guess I was thinking Amiami or HobbySearch Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Me 3. Though I'm sure I'll get one eventually. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 ¥20,000 same as CD Japan: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN986342/Act Not quite, once HLJ opens up again it will be discounted 5% or so below the SRP of 20,000 JPY. -b. Quote
neoexcaliber Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 HLJ's PO price was 18,000 yen but their shipping rates are definitely awesome. In fact, I noticed the shipping rate for a single VF-25 reduced from 2020 yen last year to 1780 yen last month. Quote

Kanedas Bike Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 so much better than amiami Preach. -b. *now that I'm more aware of shipping costs from AmiAmi Quote
Falcon18 Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Preach. -b. *now that I'm more aware of shipping costs from AmiAmi QFT. And their lack of customer support. Quote
zzgundam010 Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 so much better than amiami And far better customer service too. Quote
ULessa Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I wonder if CDJapan is going to have it available at the time of release (the 9th if I recall) or abit later. Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) If this one sells well for Bandai we will probably see more color schemes of the YF-30 next year. Edited July 18, 2014 by YF-29 Durandal Quote
chyll2 Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 ^ it already sold well since you cant find an open slot for PO, as far as Bandai is concern, they have already sold enough. I am waiting for a grey or sort of low viz YF-30 Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) Excellent! And you can still pre-order your YF-30 from Nin-Nin Game if you don't care about paying well over the MSRP: http://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/japanese-import-figures-pre-order/10913-macross-30-yf-30-chronos-dx-chogokin-en.html Edited July 18, 2014 by YF-29 Durandal Quote
skullmilitia Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 I heard from a Bandai rep that this is the first DX to have been 100% sold out From Bandai. Meaning the retailers for the first time bought the entire allotment Of YF-30's. Not only does this mean a second run, but most likely another repaint. And probably the repaint being released before Ozma 25' haha Quote
no3Ljm Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 And probably a YF-30 Ozma Custom repaint for sure. Quote
spanner Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 And probably a YF-30 Ozma Custom repaint for sure. an Ozma paint would be great but maybe some more non character based paints in favor of some cannon fodder / military paint schemes would be nice for a change! Quote
no3Ljm Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 an Ozma paint would be great but maybe some more non character based paints in favor of some cannon fodder / military paint schemes would be nice for a change! True. Hope Bandai would do that too. Love to see different and 'refreshing' colors too. But knowing Bandai, they rather paint it with someone famous' color motif to sell the same mold. Instant ka-ching! I'm just stoked it's coming out on the 9th. Me too. Looking forward to check Battroid's 'support bracket'. Quote
Mommar Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 yeah, look at their track record for the YF-29 already. Alto scheme, Roy Scheme, Isamu Scheme, Ozma Scheme. Basically all they are missing is a Basara Scheme. I'd bet an Ozma style scheme is eminent. Quote

spanner Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 I might dig a Basara scheme on a YF-29. Bandai might get their knickers in knots trying to decide if the yellow bits will be yellow or gold! I wonder if CDJapan is going to have it available at the time of release (the 9th if I recall) or abit later. CDJ were only a few days behind HLJ with the Prophecy release so personally I doubt we'll have to wait that much extra.. fingers crossed regardless! Quote
Silverstreak Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 I want that black/purple scheme. But we'll probably get an Ozma. Quote
Mommar Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Personally I want that Red and Black scheme. Battroid mode looks like a modern Milia VF-1J. Quote
Tking22 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Well I only have 4 pre-orders paid off, my fifth still hasn't requested payment yet, I came to the conclusion 5 is an odd number, if I can I may pick up a sixth. On a side note, my 3 29s I ordered showed up on Thursday, so that's cool, I don't know, I may keep a YF-30 for myself, doubtful though, I really do just want to keep these packed up in case any more "life" happens.

In fact, I noticed the shipping rate for a single VF-25 reduced from 2020 yen last year to 1780 yen last month. I was pretty happy with getting mine through CDJ and I was able to you up my rewards points which virtually cancelled out the postage costs for EMS and brought the price of the Valk down similar to some of the other slightly more discounted sellers.

Kanedas Bike Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 NY just sent me a payment request. Oh boy! Time to stalk the regular sites, hopefully that means that they'll open up for add'l pre-orders soon. -b. Quote
Saburo Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 NY just sent me a payment request. Oh boy! Yep, got mine too. The wait is almost over... Good bye money. Quote
