There are many of us with zero orders and waiting anxiously for more slots to open up. How ironic it's going to be if those who have multiple PO orders forgot to pay on the deadline payment date.

chyll2 Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 if only I can safely transfer my HLJ account. The last time I did it, the account got banned. Quote

You have more than one, chyll2? Willing to let one go? Anyways, just throwing this out there. If any US-based member here is going to cancel or drop one of their DX VF-31C preorder. Before you do, please feel free to PM me first. Thanks! Edited August 31, 2017 by no3Ljm Quote

Haha sorry Noel but it ain't going to be one of my orders. Already paid for two of them. Last one is with HLJ so I can't pay that one yet. Only two of these are mine; the third is going to a local fellow Macross collector. He gets the most expensive of the three. Quote
Shukenzero Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 A week and a bit away from release and still nothing on the horizon? Probably retailers being cautious. Wonder when the next valk is going up for preorder, as there haven't been many reveals as of late. Quote
Sildani Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Saw they changed the date on NY's site, but I just got this email from HLJ an hour ago: "Thanks for writing! It's currently expected on or about 9/30, but manufacturers sometimes release sooner. We appreciate your business with us! Best Regards, Mark K HobbyLink Japan So NY knows, but HLJ doesn't have a clue? Is that normal? Quote
mickyg Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 When it comes to release dates, absolutely. Just about every time I ask HLJ about dates when things are expected, I get this sort of response. Either they really don't know, or the person responding doesn't. Quote

I'm just hoping preorders will open or if not, it's still going to be widely available after release date. But if it's going to be discontinued beyond that, it's still ok. It's just a toy. Did you sense a tone of sour graping there? Quote

Did you sense a tone of sour graping there? I missed the preorder window for a variety of reasons. I'm kind of depending on the Mirage-colored VF-31 to end up like the Messer-colored version. It'll SEEM rare as diamonds for the first 1-2 months. Then, after that, the toy became VERY PLENTIFUL. If you wanted to spend ~$250 for one on eBay, it was available. If you took your chances, there were frequently sales threads on Macross World where people simply didn't want theirs anymore and it was still MISB in the HLJ packaging, and all they wanted was what they paid for it (about ~$220 total). And if you really wanted to take your chances, it's not that hard to find a new sales thread every month or so that sells a Messer-version VF-31 for about $200 used. Quote

I was gonna order them today too, damn I got lazy. Looks like mykombini, big in japan, and cdjapan proxy doesn't have it either. Anyone know where else I can order them? Quote
Lolicon Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 They should be easy to pick up on Mandarake after they're released. Hayate and Keith's parts show up there regularly, with only a small markup. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 The VF-31C was up for a hot second at mykombini for list price 21600. I managed to snag one before it went OOS again. Hopefully they come through. I've never ordered from mykombini before. Quote

barurutor Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 crap missed this, didn't check my phone for figinstock. Quote
mechaninac Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Saw the emai from Figinstock as soon after waking up this morning; of course, by the time I did, it was already too late... another case of if you miss it by a minute it may as well have been a day. I'm hanging my hopes on HLJ reopening their listing, personally. Quote
seti88 Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Must resist... and yes i know resistance is futile but must think of the 31a, think of the 31a but dang she is turning out to be a hard one to catch...hmmm.. Quote

Graham Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Just scored a VF-31C on HLJ, thanks to FigInStock Quote
barurutor Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Got one at HLJ, but I do hope NY opens up also as I'd rather shop with them. Quote
Lolicon Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Didn't I tell you guys not to worry and that there will be plenty more available? Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Odd it's up for so long at HLJ, ami ami was gone quickly. I hope they're not taking so many orders that they can't fill them. I know someone on the forum had that issue with a premium finish vf-1. Quote
