NYE 2017 Anyways, anyone over here tried doing that Drakken install? Edited January 2, 2018 by wmkjr wrong video Quote

Pretty much, here in WA its was really quiet not much people popping fireworks. Ok, back onto topic. I have to look into how the Lil Draken attach to the VF-31. Quote
no3Ljm Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) DX VF-31J Kai back at NY for Y42000. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/23360-macross-delta-dx-chogokin-vf-31j-kai-siegfried-hayate-immelman-custom-limited-edition.html Just go down to Y22000, and I’ll buy another one. Edited January 4, 2018 by no3Ljm Quote
borgified Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 That's $470 CND when doing the conversion! Will be better off getting Mirage's VF-31C and the Fast Pack combo or wait for the upcoming SV-51 (Nora version). Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 Just now, Arkham said: SV-51??? Who or what is releasing a SV-51?? Arcadia is going to release an Ivanov (and presumable Nora, eventually) SV-51. No release date yet, but it is confirmed. Quote

Guyffon Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Wait, why does this page say that the vf-31j kai is open for reservations at a tamashi webshop? http://tamashii.jp/item_brand/dx_chogokin/?wovn=en Quote

Not all who ordered will get one. Quote
Guyffon Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 If thats the case, shouldn’t it say exclusives (not tamashi webshop) like the one below it, the way it looks its like the same deal like the super parts for mirage custom vf-31 Quote

The reason why the one below says not Tamashii Webshop because you have to pick that one up from the previous Tamashii Event last December. Now for the one that you’re referring to, the one that it’s still available for preorder, in which Bandai already mentioned that the next batch will be released thru their webshop and not event exclusive but via lottery method. Meaning you can preorder it directly from the webshop like other items they have as long that you have a Japan address but there’s no guarantee if you will be selected. And that is already mentioned in the actual item page description: http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000120437/ こちらの商品は抽選販売でのお取扱いとなります｡ (This item will be handled in lottery sale.)

no3Ljm Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Ok. Just giving everyone a headsup. There's one in YJA right now. Bidding price as of this moment is Y24800. Buy it now price is Y32000. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m234923181 Quote

What's your pipeline to get stuff from the .jp auctions? - Can you immediately ship internationally? - Can you even pay? or everything is done by a "Friend living in Japan" ? Thanks! Quote

True, I've grown really cynical about Bandai's production tendencies. I'm kind of hopeful that the really die-hard fans will have just attended the event and gotten them that way. I do wonder what the production run size is like though, or whether they'll do a modified wide release down the road for the movie, maybe bundled with the super packs. That isn't a bad price on the YJA one though, depending on what hoops you have to jump through to get it. Quote

Thanks! you can use a proxy service to buy it for you. (for a fee) Item will be shipped to your proxy (dometic shipping) Item will then be ship to you from your proxy (international shipping fee) Payment to your proxy normally have a small fee too Quote

For YJA purchases, I use Buyee and FromJapan as my go-to proxy company. For more info regarding their services, here's their FAQ and Usage Guide pages for Buyee and FromJapan. 14 minutes ago, Chronocidal said: True, I've grown really cynical about Bandai's production tendencies.

I'm really not a big 'duplicates' guy, but with the 31J Kai, I will buy another one as long that they will make available for everyone. For some reason, I really love the scheme. Quote

Thanks for the explanation, that said, i don’t think I will have a chance to own one without pay crazy prices Quote

But just so you know, most of us here spent around Y30000-33000 to acquire it thru proxy companies. And just so you know, if you purchase the YJA one above thru proxy, you'll probably end up around Y40000 if you're going to use EMS to USA. It's nice that you can compute the total using their virtual shipping calculator. Quote

Though in that case they would be considered "used." Their idea of used for my original vf-31J was that the tape was broken so I was able to get a pretty sweet deal on a basically new valk. Quote
