!The Panic thread! *buying frenzy*

[SaitouSad]

I've been contemplating if I should get a YF-21 or the VF-22 pair. not exactly a big fan of the design though, except maybe fighter mode..., though they'd go well with my YF-19 and VF-19 Kai and P I guess

[charger69]

You know you want a VF-1D for ever...

1/60 VF-1D $243

Not really panic buys (well just the VF-19F was) just a few things I've pick up over the last month..

[Negotiator]

Anyone have some insight on angolz for being slow? I ordered a vf-22 gamlin on 3/31. Its 4/4 now and the status still says "collecting item. In progress"

Now I see that they're all sold out, does this mean they're trying to obtain stalk or are they slow as hell looking in their warehouse?

[dapro]

I just join this forum back in mid February and that is when I started collecting yamato toys for my mini collection. I am late to the party, but at least I got in before yamato completely shut down...

Sometimes it can take a week to process an order just keep your hopes up

[Valkyrie addict]

I emailed them [Angolz] about it this past monday, about the Gamlin VF-22S, they told they're waiting to get it from their supplier by the end of the week to get it shipped to us.

Thanks for the reply guys. Let's hope they can get some.

[xrentonx]

Angolz cancelled out on my Hikaru 1J and made me sad. At least they're delivering on the VF-17 Super packs and the Dyrl Canon fodder

[TCracker]

There are some stuffs in HK Collectibles that I am aiming for.....we shall see...

First 2 of the panic buys arrived yesterday the 1/60 Fire Valk and the Sound Booster. Now just waiting on the 19S and im done.

[johnkillingsworth]

Interesting to note HKC has increased prices slightly on several of the Macross items still in stock since I ordered last weekend.

VF-19S Blazer HK$1099 (was HK$1049 ~+$6.50)

VF-19P Planet Zola HK$1949 (was HK$1899 ~+$6.50)

VF-19F HK$1949 (was HK$1799 ~+$19.50)

Unassembled VF kits HK$529 (was HK$499 ~+$3.90)

All of the items I ordered are still in stock (only the VF-17D has sold out as far as I can tell - at least from HKC), but my order would be +$40.30 today vs. last week.

Not that anyone cares, but they also slightly raised prices on the DYRL Hayao VF-1A

I know b/c I panic-bought one earlier, lol.

[xrentonx]

These are strange times in Macross fandom.

[charger69]

I call it Macross Mayhem

If you are going to panic, panic fast!

I'm still waiting on my panic bought VF-17D from AE. They took quite awhile to ship it. Over a week.

[plutoniumhunter]

My VF-1S TV is sitting in the Post Office, gonna pick it up tomorrow

Take some pics!

Take some pics!

Pics of box and bubble wrap, yes. Probably not even going to open it...

[cyde01]

i've been trying to track down a VF-17D but they're selling out everywhere. tried to save some money and bid for one on yahoo auctions using kuboten but it didn't go through in time. don't wanna pay $320 for the FP version on hkcollectibles but i'm starting to panic...

To be honest it looks pretty cool with the Fast Packs.

[johnkillingsworth]

The FP combo is cheaper than buying them separately I think. That's what I picked up.

Just got my first panic packages today - VF-19 Fire and Sound Booster. The Fire Custom is pretty darn impressive. Are the V2 1/60 YF-19's this good? I have a V1 and feel like it's going to fall apart if I touch it again (after reading Graham's disintegrating shoulder post).

[cyde01]

FPs look okay.. the color kinda looks off to me tho. Probably would display it mostly without the fp anyway and i saw one without fp going for ¥17000 so i really wanted to save money rather than pay $320. I'm living from paycheck to paycheck and wouldn't even consider buying these things if i wasn't panicking.

I picked up the kaki tv from Angolz for $98 shipped. I'm gonna try to custom paint it for an Alaska base.

[Valkyrie Magnus]

I did my panic buying back in February. It's sad to see things like the Max VF-1A TV or DYRL which was on eBay for around $100 shipped now going over $200 to $300 in just a few months. I wanted to buy an extra one to customize but refuse to pay the huge amounts people are asking for. I think now is the time to wait and see if prices drop after the frenzy. I hope. Good buy on the Kakizaki Derex!

Yep me too this morning.. great price.. other comments on them dragging their feed on shipping is slightly worrisome though.

Wow! When did Sonicare produce Valks?!?

I guess a panic buy is a panic buy.
