sreichma Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Because of how fast they sell out, what is the best way to get notiifed of a reissue if it ever happens? Edited March 4, 2013 by sreichma Quote
royard Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 check here once per day and you won't miss anything. Bandai normally announce the reissue one day before the pre-ordering starts. Quote
Benson13 Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 I say monitor the relevant thread and maybe the companys media feeds. Quote
Old Man Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 I've managed to stay on top of most of the Macross F renewal issues just by checking on the Toys forum at least once a day. As royard mentioned, they usually announce the release a day before it goes on preorder at most popular stores like AmiAmi or Nippon-Yasan. As many people as there are on here that still need the F and S, I'm sure you'll be well informed about the reissues before they go up if you scope the threads here every day. Quote
xrentonx Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 I still need an F and a second S. You'll definitely hear about it from people here. Quote
skullmilitia Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Because of how fast they sell out, what is the best way to get notiifed of a reissue if it ever happens? Pray... or create a program to scan all Hobby sites for pre-order satus, and become a billionaire. Quote
GXPT2000 Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Watch the tamashii website every day for reissues... That should be the easiest way. Quote
Duymon Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) This is the procedure: 1. Check the boards everyday, particularly the DX VF-25 thread 2. Once pre-orders are announced, you need to stock up on the following: Red Bull and some food Stress Balls Alcohol (very important) 3. Lock yourself in your man-cave and make an account, complete with payment info, on all the major sites. Here's a few to get you started HLJ Hobbysearch Amiami Anime-Export Nippon-yasan Play-asia CD-japan 4. Around 1 hour before the preorder window (typically 16:00 JST) OPen up a browser window on each online store you know of and Log into your account. The time it takes to login could cost you your valkyrie. 5. Either get an autorefresh script or F5 every page until you see your target. Squeeze stress ball to release stress and tension because you'll need to be ACCURATE with your mouse. Fractions of seconds count! 6A. If you're able to get a valk in your cart and al lteh way to checkout / payment, you succeed. Proceed to Mw boards to brag about getting a pre-order. 6B. If you're like 99.9% of Mw-er's you won't get a pre-order. Go Bitch on the boards about missing the pre-order and then proceed to bitch about Bandai, Scalpers, and then more Bandai. Afterwards cry yourself to sleep while drinking lots of alcohol to dull the pain. 7. Wake up with a hangover only to check the boards and see you missed the Nippon-yasan reopen. Repeat Step 6B 8. Say "F*** it," Give in and order the long-open Nippon-yasan valk at 40-50 dollar markup because that's the only way you'll ever see this valk. 9. heal over time, return to normal. Deal with Bandai Preorder PTSD and await the next dreaded Preorder announcement. Did I get it right everyone? Edited March 5, 2013 by Duymon Quote
pfunk Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 I think I like the becoming a billionaire part the best Quote
Gakken85 Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 I got a soundwave MP-13 in my shopping cart once and it wouldn't let me complete the sale, so that doesn't always work Quote

TCracker Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 At this point I have already given up on online stores. Just confirmed 2 pcs of RVF-25 renewals from a local hobby store here. The store owner managed to snag 2 Pre-orders from a contact in Japan. I had to pay a slight markup, around USD20, but at least I am confirmed of getting it. Quote
KH355hamdi Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 6A. Fully paid the RVF-25 pre-order from Nippon Yassan. Quote
