Old Man Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Got my 7...3 from AmiAmi, 3 from CDJapan, and 1 from HLJ. I got cart-jacked at Nippon-Yasan, but after this HMR Roy shenanigans, I'm kinda glad. Plus, they were only a limit of 2. Quote
sh9000 Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 5 PM is the new 4 PM. Got 3 at Amiami, 3 at CDJapan, 2 at Nippon-Yasan, and 1 at HLJ. Quote
Big s Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Got one at Hlj system was running slow. I may try for another somewhere else with the price being only $55. Quote
jvmacross Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 5 PM is the new 4 PM. Got 3 at Amiami, 3 at CDJapan, 2 at Nippon-Yasan, and 1 at HLJ. 3 to open, 3 to keep misb, and 3 "just in case"....9 is the new 3... Quote
sh9000 Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Actually it will be 8 to open and 1 to keep MISB. Quote
jvmacross Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Sounds like you're going to need more Regults! Quote
mechaninac Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Got 1 from HLJ (6120 Yen, same as CDJ) due to their usually better shipping rates-- just need 1... no intention to army build, but if Hobbysearch (5780 Yen) gets more preorder stock I may get anther. That was remarkably easy. Quote
sh9000 Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Yeah probably. Mykombini had a decent sale on Regults with a limit of 10 and I passed on it. Sounds like you're going to need more Regults! Quote
Sandman Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Since i was up i thought i'd get some tamashii stands. Hlj apparently imposes a 1 item limit on them. Seriously? Quote
Big s Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 I went ahead and ordered another from cd japan. I think I'll stick with2 and see if a web exclusive pops up later with fast packs or if the release the packs seperate I still have the two. I just don't want an army of 1a's and no one to fight. Was there a differance between the tv packs and the ones on the standard 1a from the movie. I know the movie skull squadron ones looked a bit larger, but it has been a while since I watched the movie. Quote
Old Man Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 I kinda have a bad feeling that Nippon-Yasan might try to charge me extra shipping for the 2 Monsters I have preordered with them. CDJapan won't ship 2 of these together due to size restrictions, even at their estimated ¥10,000 rate. Instead they split the order up and you end up paying ¥7,000 in shipping for each, but at ¥20,000 for the Monster, it's not a terrible deal. With my NY order, they're charging ¥23,180 for each Monster, and only ¥6,800 for shipping. My worry is that they grossly underestimated the shipping size, and will ask me for a lot more money to ship them both or split them up. What are your guys' thoughts? Quote

F360 Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 did anyone also used the cdjapan App from their phone to order to get an extra 3% in points? Quote

I'm expecting that as well with my 2 Monsters from Nippon-Yasan but I'll still try to have them shipped with cheapest shipping. did anyone also used the cdjapan App from their phone to order to get an extra 3% in points? I did. Quote

It's possible that N-Y might request extra money for shipping, sometime they let it go too. Price for 2 Monster shipped 54,000 CDjapan 53,160 Nippon-Yasan But with CDjapan you will also get 600 points and 600 bonus points for each Monster. 1 point = 1 yen. That's 2400 reward points total. And there's also the quarter spending point bonus which will be at least 700 points. That's alot of extra points , it'll total to at at least 3100 reward points for you to use in the future. CDjapan also have very good packaging. And if you use the CDjapan App to make the purchase , you'll get an extra 3% in bonus points on top of that. Quote

TV version has different lighter green shade and the arm-armors are of different style design. Quote
Old Man Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) FAST-packs? TV version has different lighter green shade and the arm-armors are of different style design. Besides the arm armor, I think the "Legacy" Hi-Metal Super Parts will make a nice make-shift TV version. I seem to recall a picture comparing the two, and the originals have that lighter greener shade to them (see below). Picture courtesy of Duymon Edited April 28, 2016 by Old Man Quote
bbrain Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Ami will request when ready to ship out. CDJ will charge you now if you use Paypal, if you use a CC they will charge you when it's ready to ship. CDJ just charged my credit card.. =/ fyi Quote
Duymon Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 They authorized it. It'll pop off ur card and wont officially be charged until september. Just be sure u don't overspend in Sept so that you dont get a lil surprise when cdj claims that authorization from ur cc company Quote
technoblue Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 I went with cdjapan; I only need one cannon fodder and I didn't want to burn the midnight oil. Their pre-order is still up for those interested in getting one (or picking up another). Quote
charger69 Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Available at AE with other Gundam stuff... Quote
sharky Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Whew! Woke up this morning and thought I missed the boat. It's still up at amiami, so I pre-ordered 1 CF valk. That's what I get for binge watching House of Cards and not checking MW more often. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 GUYS WHY DIDN"T YOU TELL ME PRE-ORDERS WENT UP FOR SOMETHING THAT IS STILL AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW now, i can't complain bc it didn't sell out, i'm pretty upset it's still around. Quote
easnoddy Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 HLJ has it order stop. Picked up a couple off amiami. I think the main reason hlj gets so much business is that their layout is more simplified and pleasing to (my) western sensibilities. Quote
Duymon Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) When the Fast Packs were out on the tamashii web store in the hi-metal days they were like 15 bucks a pop and came with stickers for all of skull squadron and a generic Kite symbol. I hope if/when they release hi-metal R fastpacks on the webstore they are also that affordable edit* HOT damn anime export has like one of the best prices. Screw it picked up 2x more. don't mind paying up front Edited April 28, 2016 by Duymon Quote
Roy Focker Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Preorders sold out at some places already. Picked up one at ami ami. Yes I only order one. I'm saving my money and shelf space to buy nearly one of everything. Quote
Drad Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Couldn't resist. Ordered two CF VF-1A's at AmiAmi. Any chance we'll get some CF VF-1J's? What do you guys think? I'd buy one. Quote
hal9000 Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 CD japan come though again. I'm jumping on the 1/100 vf band wagon with 3 cf's. Quote
94medition Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 CF VF-1A still available at amiami. The R Glaug was opened at hlj for a little while but closed again. For those still looking for a a R Glaug, keep checking hlj. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 grrrr pre-orders are still open, not happy bandai. i'm waiting for them to close so i can complain i totally missed them. Quote
Saburo Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 grrrr pre-orders are still open, not happy bandai. i'm waiting for them to close so i can complain i totally missed them. Just complain about how you only wanted to order through HLJ, That should carry you over for now. Quote
