And yeah, that horn. It's a blight on the YF-29, too; get rid of it, and they both have at least passable head designs. The 31F has the best head design of any macross mecha to date IMO, I love everything about it. Quote
brouken Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Well, here’s hoping that there will be enough pre-orders for Delta 01 tomorrow for everyone who wants one. This is the one valk that I truly want from Delta since the beginning. I had only intended to get one VF-31 too. Here I am though, with four 31 DX releases going on my fifth with Arad’s custom, now wanting to complete the whole platoon. It’s a great time to be a Macross fan! Quote
HardlyNever Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 I have tomorrow off, and will have multiple store tabs open. This is only my second "pre-order madness" but that last one really wasn't that bad (vf-2ss). I know that isn't a DX Chogokin, so it isn't the same, but people predicted insta-sold outs for that, too. It didn't really play out that way. Maybe Bandai is improving their preorder model. Either way, I'm down to give it a shot tonight. I have a sinking feeling this won't be that rough, though, and basically everyone that wants to preorder will be able to snag one somewhere. Quote
jenius Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 BiginJapan has the Kai available again. Quote

Does that mean the pre-order is already finished or it's just their way of put it as inactive? Quote

Always get my valks from NY, HLJ or Amiami, though I’ve never been able to score a pre-order valk from Amiami ever. They literally get snapped up in seconds there. I stopped trying to order at HobbySearch. I always get cart jacked. 24 minutes ago, jenius said: BiginJapan has the Kai available again. I think that price is more reasonable than NY's and somewhere else assuming it will be shipped locally and not internationally. It's the same range when it still available at Mandarake. Would still love to have an extra one. Not sure if Y38000 (shipping included from BIJ) is still reasonable for a Valk. But the payment for Sentinel's Ride Armors and the PF SDF-1 are looming in the horizon. Edited February 28, 2018 by no3Ljm Quote

wmkjr Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 All of them! Here's how it's going down YMMV : HS: As soon as it hits 4:00:01pm watch screen freeze, go to order closed and waitlisted. AA: Go to order page and furiously click add to cart, make it to next page only to get frozen screen then shown order closed. HLJ: Try to search up the valk, find it, place an order, login info again, madly click through options, wait for confirmation email, wonder why order window is still open for x amount of time, panic if email didn't appear quickly NY: Look at site and see it not even up on the preorder page, refresh every minute, give up, go to sleep only to find out it opened when you left and was cheapest priced. CDJ: Look and see how much points you have and how many left in stock. Quote
Sildani Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 Good luck to all! I’m not in this, Arad just wasn’t compelling and the paint scheme is nifty but not $200+ nifty. Quote
Alex GS Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 lol for trying in practicing with my speed how I will try to get a PO of Arad I end up preordering a Hi Metal R VF 1A Ichijo valk! , oh well in the end I never had one of this type. Quote
Andy NYK Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 Just wishful thinking, hope those whom are not so interested to stay away from the PO sites. Quote
Nonrenormalizable Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 I just hope there are some left tomorrow when I wake up Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 Got my tabs all setup and my alarm set. I'm ready to miss some sleep and probably not get a PO Quote
orindlt Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 We're all kinda like addicts, milling about impatiently, waiting for that coming hit ;-). If only PO madness didn't involve that F5 adrenaline rush. Quote

Master Dex Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 I'm marking the page I'm posting on as 303. Tomorrow morning I'll log in to see it at 330 probably.. that's how fast this thread goes each pre-order day, lol. I won't be partaking this time. My 31F, 262, and incoming 31A are good for me. I don't have the funds all you do, lol. I didn't even get super parts for Messer or the missile packs for the Draken. Too costly for what it was given, even if the sword is nice. However.. we'll see how thinks look when supers are announced for the Kairos... maybe. I doubt I'll go in for any armor packs though... design messes up the look for me. Anyway, have fun tonight kids. Quote
Nonrenormalizable Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 Can retail stores run out of pre-orders? The toy is probably not even made Quote
