I am cancelling my VF-31C with them due to adopting a 1-only policy for the Delta Valks (has nothing to do with the one I got from NY being the same price but with shipping....) Newbie question: What is NY, can I have a link, and is it reliable? Quote

derex3592 Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 NY always does great for me, slightly high on shipping over some others, but nothing horrible. Quote
Saburo Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 Just wanted to share a photo that I had not posted of the VF-31J. Quote

locidm Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 Saburo, how is it possible that your pictures look better than the real thing? I was pleasantly surprised by the Super Pack, that I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Here's mine Quote
Axelay Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Say, when do preorders for the VF-31F Super Packs open...? I have lost track. Quote

From experience and what I've read from others, if anything goes wrong, broken part, badly damaged box, or anything that requires them to actually do more than take orders. They will be less than helpful. There was a really informative post about them on MyFigureCollection in the Sellers forum. Quote
Slave IV Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Conversely, some people prefer to deal with them as their #1 choice. It's going to be difficult getting support from most of the overseas shops although I haven't had much trouble. Quote
mickyg Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 To piggyback on Slave IV's comment and out of respect for differing opinions and the main point of this thread: Quote
Graham Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Wondering if Arad and Chuck's DXs will ever be released. Seems a long time since any news, especially for Chuck And of course the holy grail VF-31A. Quote
Sandman Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 I expected Arad to be released dec but that appears not be happening. I'm okay with that as there is a ton of other stuff to get till dec. Quote

I'm okay with that as there is a ton of other stuff to get till dec. Seeing how the pre-order for Mirage's 31 went up five months (Apr) before the release date (Sep), I think we may be a bit late for a Dec DX release. But then again, it was only 3 months between pre-order (Jan) and release (Apr) for Messer's, so it may still be possible. Quote
no3Ljm Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) I honestly don't mind if they release the rest of the DX VF-31's next year. My wallet really deserves a breather. Besides, I still need to secure a preorder of Mirage's VF-31C. Someday... And like Sandman said, there's tons of other (Macross) stuff to get til December. Merry Christmas guys! Edited August 9, 2017 by no3Ljm Quote
WaferMouse Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) Maybe they're going to give Arad some hero moments in the movie before they release? Though I was starting to assume that they were saving the alternate colour versions and Kairos for post-movie release. Schedule seems pretty tight. PS. I just realised: more hype for the 31E. Nooooo.

F360 Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 Maybe bandai dont want to flood the market with vf-31. Do a little intermission so your wallet can heal a bit . But in reality Bandai is just pushing their other lines at you. Quote
Lolicon Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 Between Arcadia and Bandai, there's a big Macross release just about every month into next year. Quote
seti88 Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 And yet, bandai hasnt quite announced their christmas DX valk? there should be some word this month or early next methinks... Quote
Lolicon Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Anyone else get charged by CDJapan for their 31C? Seems a bit early for a September order... Quote
F360 Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 there's a pending charge on my account too, but since it's pending I'll just leave it at that. Cdjapan did change to a more secure credit card system around June so maybe they are rerunning the preorder taken before? Quote

eXis10z Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 I hope they space out the releases. My wallet's crying out in anguish. Quote
chyll2 Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 They can skip anything but not 31A. Don't make us wait for the movie Quote
kajnrig Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) What's the... "usual" timing of these things? Do they release Macross stuff as like its own sub-line of toys, or is it considered part of the larger DX Chogokin line? And is there a history or something of Bandai releasing the cannon fodder during movie releases? Edited August 15, 2017 by kajnrig Quote
Loop Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Damn, I lost track of things as of late. Did they already show a date on VF-31C super parts yet? Quote

spacemanoeuvres Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 Surprised the PO for the 31C hasn't popped up again. 6 weeks until release Quote

Loop Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 I wonder if she is that popular to where all the slot for pre-order stayed full. I have a feeling though if you guys keep stalking places like HLJ someone is bound to cancel an order. You could use fig in stock, but that barely works for me as the mails come through I'm sleep Quote
