Fascinating... the '31A canopies are clearer tint like the '31F, while the J and C are more opaque, are they not? I have a '31C, so I can vouch for it being foggy and wanting a canopy replacement... maybe the foggy canopies are also a clear-coating issue... 

Also: what Kind of pod comes with a '31A?

same as the rest [drone charger thingy/mounting the big gun]? or is it different?

Yes, the 31A canopy is clearer.  I have both the A and Mirage's C.  The A is tinted.  The C is frosted and almost opaque.

As for the pod, they both have the same charger pod.

Maybe.....but Order number include every item they sold...not just the Kairos...if you're 150 order behind, maybe just 20 have to do with the kairos and the other can be other item they has sold.

Mine's like 800 away, but it doesn't seem like they're following any logical system whatsoever. As some orders placed after those early days have been shipped making it more random than anything (Disclaimer: I do not know who those people are, nor criticising them, nor doubting them right? Super happy for you!) Just playing it safe this time around as some seem to get offended for no reason when I mentioned that before.As for the dupes, it's anyone's guess. 

Like some mentioned before, maybe it could be the shipping method?... Or whatever they pull from their hat on any particular day. At his stage, I'll go with the hat 

What I really don't get though, is how are they hoping to reach the November or December orders at that rate. The new upcoming Macross series would've ended by then...

Hopefully everything will work out great though, NY aren't evil nor shady....The best imo, (especially their 5 stars customer service....)

 

 

 

[sh9000]

I’m 26 orders away but I’ll just wait and see how they handle the rest of the orders.

[jenius]

I'm 142 orders off that number but if people from a few days later got there's it must not matter.

Edited April 19, 2018 by jenius

[spacemanoeuvres]

Yeah there were a few folks who ordered later in the month (after 10/7?) that got their orders already.

I don’t think the order number means anything but I hope I get mine soon  

[ManhattanProject972]

Damn mines a little over 2k away from your order. I'll keep holding on till maybe after they release Mirage's Super Parts.

[Scyla]

Here is my shipment. Maybe the order number helps figuring out in which order they ship:

I'm not gonna lie. Tracking said it left Japan on the 4/12/18 but no movement detected by the package tracking. I usually don't care when an item arrive but something about the VF-31A situation makes me really antsy and nervous. 

*knock on wood*

[jenius]

Whoa, I'm 488882

[Sanity is Optional]

Well, I'm order #488864, and still no action on mine. SAL shipping though, which may have kicked me down the priority list.

 

Should have gotten EMS I guess...

[94medition]

I also got an email from NY today stating my order has been shipped (SAL).  My order # is 488738 and was placed on 10/6. So don't lose hope. 

Edited April 19, 2018 by 94medition

[OzmaLee74]

Oh, I received mine from Loopaza. I was on the list under Other.

[davidwhangchoi]

whoa! that's great news hear throughout the day NY is shipping more and more orders out. 

I kept joking that if NY doesn't send the 31A's by may i'm going to start fighting in the Max and Miria threads 

looks like we won't have to wait till May, crisis almost averted.

congrats everyone who's got shipping notifications today

 

[no3Ljm]

Still awaits for NY notification. If ever there is any. 

 

[technoblue]

My 31A is at the local post office.  I should have it in my hands officially tomorrow.

Mine is 488850 and use EMS, my order still no movement at all. So I don't think they ship the 31A by order number or mailing method.

[ridgebacks]

Don't think they ship by order number. I remember couple pages ago someone who ordered on 10th got his by the end of March already. By the logic his order number should be way behind those who ordered on 6th and 7th. Yet his order got shipped 2 days after the release date.

[SpaceCowboy]

I'm 488782 for the order number, ordered 2, and I've heard nothing from NY.  Hoping May they get their stock and this is just bandai's Fault

[CharlesXavier]

So far it seems NY is shipping those with 1 piece orders first.

yet to see anyone who has more than 1 piece receive a shipping notice. Myself included 

[ChaoticYeti]

Just one for me. N-Y #491664

[Guyffon]

Mine is a single at order #489078 I hope it will be the winning number for next week's VF-31A lottery from NY

 

That said, NY stop emailing me about the arbalest, I am not going to give you anymore of my monies!!!

Hi from a fellow member at #489069, lol. Good luck to all of us for next week!

[F360]

My Mandarake package finally arrived.  That should be it for me with VF-31a unless I can find some close to MSRP.

I think it was probably the last one they had before the price went up AGAIN.

No brown TWE shippers box, but everything is nicely packaged, SEALED.

have the same or similar scuff marks on the right wing tip underside

Congrats to all the people that's getting shipment notices from N-Y.

Does anyone still wants/needs a 31JKai? There's another copy available at the Shibuya store.

So far no one with 2 pieces from NY has received a notice. I hope you break the "curse" on this one. =)
