spanner Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Wow so many amazing photos of the 31a!! This variant will definitely be the best of the lot in my opinion! The wait is driving me nuts! Quote
kajnrig Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Was the photo frenzy this... well, frenzied with the other 31s? I don't know, but whatever the case I'm still super excited for mine to arrive. Hopefully this spells good news for the secondhand market if I ever decide to get rid of mine.

TrickyCustomer Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 I thought this site wasn't X rated? Because there seems to be a lot of valk porn being shown! Those twitter pics are incredible. Quote
Las Vegas Dad Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Arrival scheduled for Wednesday via fedex from Big in Japan. Shipped Friday Quote
IXTL Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 With little effort, you can kind of remove the extra tiny fold crystal in the middle of the nose and make your Kairos a no. 8. https://twitter.com/muko037/status/975028064609452033 Quote

Slave IV Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 The NY discount is a joke when it saves someone $5 but it's an outrage when they ask for $3 extra to ship something. This is all after the fact that they already charge less than any other shop to begin with. Quote
Lolicon Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Only if you're lucky enough to get through their rings of death and get a preorder in. After that they jack up the price to among the highest around. Quote

After that they jack up the price to among the highest around. True that! My statement still stands, especially with the "to begin with" part to cover your point. I'm one of the ring of death victims on that last round for the 31S. To be fair, they seem to be reopening orders close to release dates at original price and only jacking up later after release. Hope I can grab a 31A and 31S with their discount still but I'm not complaining if I can't. Quote
seti88 Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Tot the extra's were photoshopped but then am not too sure, some slight angles and length differences in perspective... Quote

Sideshow Collectibles were throwing $25-$35 discounts at you all the time. NY could definitely learn a thing from them. Surprised NY are still in business if that's how they reward their customers.

I have other places to buy valks for cheaper and less shipping costs to boot. Edited March 18, 2018 by TrickyCustomer Quote

TrickyCustomer Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Do you guys not shop around? Even ebay can be cheaper than NY. Depends on what your looking for. Quote
seti88 Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Whoa.. if you did find valk's selling on eBay cheaper than NY, then congrats to you! That did not happen to me one time at all getting valks all these past years... Quote

Depends on what your looking for. @TrickyCustomer Yes I shop around quite a bit. Are you talking about new releases or items that have been released for a while? It’s tough to beat new releases at NY. Please let us know where you’re seeing cheaper preorder prices For items that have been out for a while I find yahoo auctions, rakuten and mandarake to be fair. Find something on eBay once in a long while but that’s more the exception than the rule. Edited March 18, 2018 by spacemanoeuvres Quote

seti88 Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Ah right, you were referring to post-release pricing. The discount price of N-Y, in my lexicon anyway, are the discounted pre-order prices N-Y has over the rest. Anything after release dates, N-Y effectively marks valks up so i dont see them as discounted valks... of course non-renewals, vf-171 CF's and the odd Percival 29 notwithstanding Thanks for clearing it up....

I've only had one dealing with NY regarding pre orders. That's the Arcadia vf-0s premium currently on pre order. It's hardly a low price pre order but I have not had a look around for anywhere cheaper on that one. Of the stuff I have bought from them recently, I'm not impressed with their slow processing and shipping times and the crap discount you get for spending big money with them, it takes the p×ss! No problem, thankfully there are a few places for pre orders when it comes to valks Quote
chyll2 Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 eBay being cheaper than NY. That joke is too early, April still far away. Quote

spanner Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 I'm hoping I get shipping notice from CDJ today.. they've taken my money so now it's time to cough up the goods. Quote
Mommar Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) Somebody has the right idea here. Edited March 18, 2018 by Mommar Quote
Mommar Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 I really need to get some of Xigfids custom missiles. Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Gerwalk mode really shines. Can’t beliebe I didn’t jump on the train when this was announced. Looks like aftermarket will be a lot Quote
Mommar Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 If they make an Arad Custom I suspect there will be a lot of pre-orders for it. Quote
kajnrig Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Those who have preordered from MyKombini before, do they charge you the outstanding balance on the order when they receive the item in stock? Or do they expect you to proactively pay the remainder? Quote
TrickyCustomer Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 What are those tanks and missiles from may i ask? The retractable missile pods really suit the 31a. This valk is getting better all the time. Quote
