kajnrig Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Glad you guys enjoyed my trolling. More seriously, I just got notification from Mykombini and paid the rest of the preorder, so with any luck I'll be able to take pics of the actual thing within a month or so.

Mommar Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 CDJapan just got back to me. Sounds like NY was spot on with their 24th listing. CDJ said it will be available "on this weekend." Shipping confirmations to follow soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it's NY so I'm not going to put my hopes up. They can ship it early or late, but what I really hope for is that it will arrive safe and sound.

jenius Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I wonder if Bandai has implemented some sort of "bulk delivery" schedule for Tamashii items that happens after the retail delivery to people's homes and that's why CDJ and NY are getting it a week late? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kajnrig Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Is this different from previous P-Bandai releases? This is my first, so I wouldn't know, but it seems reasonable that Bandai ships out from their warehouses release date, then stores and customers get it over the course of 1-2 weeks depending on shipping, then stores sort out for international customers and the international shipping happens which takes anywhere from 1 week to several months(?).

no3Ljm Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Is it safe to assume people who got it first (the ones that are posted in Twitter) bought directly from P-Bandai? And then got distributed days after to some shop for stocking? And is this the first time happened that delay? Besides, Nippon-Yasan already posted the availability date on the item page itself, so I'm sure they got notified by distributors beforehand? Either or, atleast we already know that in a day or two it will become available and most of us will get shipping notification soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my three from a local store that buys from Japan, so that is weird. No way they'd have one address for the 100 VF-31A's, so that throws buying from P-Bandai direct out of the question. Usually the web exclusives come out all around the same date, only this shipment got delayed for you guys.

Mommar Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Does anybody else have an order from Loopaza just hanging out in Pre-shipment not doing a damn thing? It's been like this for three days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Dex Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Just got an email from CDJ saying my order is entering shipping phase. They need me to approve the updated shipping charge though. It was roughly 2000 yen more I think, I didn't calculate it exactly, I knew I'd still pay it. Anyway, watch out for that fellow CDJ buyers. Looks like it's finally happening. EDIT: I just checked, they asked for an extra 1500 yen for shipping than the original estimate. They say it is due to new info on package weight but I also changed shipping address so that might affect it.

I don't really care tbh. It means it's no longer sat in the warehouse it came from and is "on route" to me now. Specifically, dispatched from sorting center as of 11:24am today.

Right around 2000-2500 yen for registered SAL unless going with something faster? I dunno where the various stores are located, so of course I could be totally off base here. As for me, it was right around the 2500 mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
