Slave IV Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 All too easy at NY. Goodnight and Happy Halloween! Quote
MikeRoz Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 In for 1 at NY. Almost as cheap with EMS shipping at NY as HLJ without. Quote
sh9000 Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 Preordered my 6 at NY. For reference, they listed earlier than the VE-1 and VF-1A Hikaru and later than the VT-1 and VF-2SS Nexx. Quote
Smiley424 Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 Damn, super late to the party, but was able to get my preorder with Nippon-Yasan. Quote
onnasake Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 I pre-ordered from amazon japan....wasn't a very big discount. They usually have a 30% discount off Masterpiece Transformers. I'm new to the Macross thing...should I wait for a discount or just keep my pre-order which is around 11,000 yen? Quote

I believe NY still has orders open should change your mind. I'm calling it a day as it been fun to ride the pre-order madness again. Quote
CrossAir Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 Good morning everyone, it's 10:00 AM here in Europe. Just woke up and grabbed one add NY. Did not plan to but I gave it a try and I seemed to work. At least no preorder madness for me Quote
sh9000 Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 When it gets relisted it will probably be around 10500 JPY. Quote
arbit Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 I also got three by mistake at amiami. The VE-1 and the VT-1 weren't this hard. You can still get them at MSRP on Ebay. Quote

ScrambledValkyrie Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 Just got up and see that it's sold out at NY and HLJ, my usual go-to places. Has Amazon listed this yet? Quote

Going to pray HLJ gets their site together, because that was nonsense. Also, still nothing from NY.. looks like my discount code lives to see another release. I'll probably save it for something I can only get there. Too true! Quote

On checkout, I got this message: Please contact HLJ Customer Support at support@hlj.com. (10099) Any idea why? Because they suck! Quote

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Missed on Nippon Yassan and the others (and anime-export is pay upfront only). I wasn't expecting such success with this guy! I'll wait for Mykombini, who is always a few days late to the game. I'll check around here for fellow members reporting on opening slots Edited November 1, 2018 by Lonely Soldier Boy Quote

I was too tired to stay up through the night and missed out on the HLJ site problems, and the subsequently short PO window for the other main sites. Had to get my second from AE as insurance. Hope they are reliable. My two bets are now with Nin-nin and AE... Quote
claude grant Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 Does anybody know if you have to pay AE upfront? Quote
mechaninac Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) ^ Upfront payment for the item upon reservation. Shipping payment upon release and ready to send. Edited November 1, 2018 by mechaninac Quote
claude grant Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 Thanks for the quick response mechaninac! Quote

Yeah, I had thought of that, but with Amazon’s price and Tenso’s fees, I think I could do better from AE or maybe Mykombini at this point. Quote
Big s Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 This was a mess of a preorder, but at least it should show Bandai that fans love macross. I am a bit surprised at the popularity of this release and glad I was able to get one. My confirmation came in from hlj just a bit ago. I am hoping to get another to keep in box and will try here and there, but some of these sites need some serious work. Quote
seti88 Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 True, but with buyee you aren't limited to amazon. yahoo auctions is also a possibility tho i thk its better to use YA after the 4g is out. Has anyone pre-ordered via YA b4? Quote
sumyumgoy Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 I'm a zombie this morning but it was well worth it! Thanks everyone for all the links and updates! Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 Super late to the party. Oh well got one at AE even though I had to pay upfront. Quote

I have a just in case order of 1 and another order of 2 at Amiami. If you want 1 I can have it shipped directly to you. Just pay when they request the payment in March. Quote
