Master Dex Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Yeah no official shipping notice, but my order status says in shipping process now since that shipping charge update. Maybe by tomorrow morning I'll see something (I know it is Monday there already, but still.. I can dream). Quote
chyll2 Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 almost lunch time in Japan. Still no shipping notice from NY Quote

CeramicDragon Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 How do I get a vf31 a? Why is this one limited release? Quote
chyll2 Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Even mandarake don't have it. This did not happened before. Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 20 minutes ago, CeramicDragon said: How do I get a vf31 a? Why is this one limited release? It's limited because it's a Tamashii Web Exclusive item. We don't know what's the actual basis on how Bandai sometimes categorize such an item for exclusive release rather than normal release. And when an item get released via exclusive then make sure you preorder it before it gets released because once it gets released there's no asurance that Bandai will re-release it again. Hence, a limited quantity reelase. And never that Bandai did re-release a Macross TWE item. How to get them? Mostly Nippon-Yasan, CDJapan, MyKombini, BigInJapan, and Loopaza mostly carries the TWE items. If not, you can check Yahoo Japan Auction and pay extra for using proxy with fees and shipping. Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 After I did some YJA browsing, I kind of getting concern now on my VF-31A order. Prices are climbing up already by scalpers. Hope NY will not ask for more before they ship it. And as of this moment, there's no shipping notification yet from NY. Quote

chyll2 Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 cant check it out, so I guess it was bug on my page Quote
enphily Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Mykombini canceled my preorder and refunded all money. I'm frustrated Edited March 26, 2018 by enphily Quote
Charles_Xavier Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 NY is probably sorting out their orders so I think they will ship likely late this week. NY so far commits to all My paid pre orders so I’m not worried about not receiving my 31As As for their extra stocks, I’m sure they will be available at a premium according to the price on YJP. Quote

I ordered through them and haven't gotten a shipping notice yet either, if this doesn't work out I'll gladly swear them off forever. Quote

chyll2 Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 I accidentally ordered one on AE but I wont push through with it since they have this weird Shipping option on they have the decision on what shipping option they want (plus they are not clear if they are willing to change the value of the item). Unfortunately, there is no way to change the email address so I really cannot share it here. Quote
borgified Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Looked at one listing that @chyll2 has linked for us to see and there's one listing asking close to $1K USD (or $1.3K CND). Are you freaking dead serious??  @enphily: Hope that you can source out another means of getting the 31a. Quote

chyll2 Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 It looks like my case earlier was error on their part or maybe a result when I tried to edit my shipping address (as experiment) Â sorry enphily, I was meaning to give it to you but it was cancelled before I was able to. Quote
enphily Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) no problem, thank you @chyll2Â and i'm sorry that you lost your preorder:( Edited March 26, 2018 by enphily Quote
ArchieNov Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Hmm, NY already shipped mine 4 hours ago. I understand everyone’s excited and/or anxious, but if you got yours from NY it’s practically guaranteed you’ll get it. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of them failing to fulfill a preorder. Edited March 26, 2018 by ArchieNov Quote
sh9000 Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Mine hasn’t shipped from NY yet.  Maybe later today or tomorrow.  Yeah I agree.  NY always comes through. Quote
GabrielV Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 No update for me this morning. The one I ordered from Loopaza still shows as arrived at the processing center in Hong Kong, and there it has stayed since the 21st. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 No news from NY here. I’m not worried though; I’ve never had an issue with them before. Keep those pics coming! Quote
