technoblue Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Good luck, everyone. I have the YF-19, a couple Darling in the Franxx pre-orders, and possibly one other item to wrangle later on. I hope to catch them all, but if I can at least get one YF-19, then I'll consider this pre-order madness a success. Quote

Then you F5 for your life and pray to the god of NY’s spinning wheel of death that your order goes through lol OMG dat wheel..... now I know what you mean Quote

PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Uhh it says 6pm jpn time the listing goes live. Quote
Dio Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 I actually like the look of the Advance better than the YF. If anyone lucky enough to score a preorder wants to sell off their older model afterward for a not-ridiculous price, please PM me. Quote
technoblue Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Hobby Search is a blink and you'll miss it pre-order for me; however CDJ often has a similar pre-order price. Quote

Oh wait, you're right... Hm... I hope this does't mean I have to stay up even later. I feel terrible for all you EST people... EDIT: That would be in line with the MB Aile Strike's release time, too. Seems Bandai is changing things up... Edited April 27, 2018 by kajnrig Quote

Yeah, I'm going to try and get 1 at CDJ and 1 at NY. So this isn't going live until 5AM Eastern? Dayum, this is going to be a restless night! Edited April 27, 2018 by spacemanoeuvres Quote

I feel terrible for all you EST people... thing is, I'm still going to check around 3am EDT to see if any of the stores will "accidentally" open the pre-orders in the usual time, so unfortunately this means an all-nighter for me... sigh.

Same here, I'm probably going to be up anyway. I hope I can actually score one. I remember when the VF-31C went up for PO and I came away empty handed; so disappointing. Quote
Slave IV Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Is Japan catching on to US and other foreign buyers so they push back the time to make it even harder on us? Quote

I'm totally new to live PO's for DX Chogokin Valks and didn't realize you can still go away empty handed if your page doesn't load fast enough. Seriously tempted to load up my third laptop just in case... lol Quote

Actually I think there may be some truth to that... knowing how the Japanese like to keep their products for domestic customers only. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Yep, I failed to score one at each site as they went live. Closest I got was NY spinning wheel of death for a few moments then *farting noise* nothing lol Luckily it was easy to grab one upon release. I don't think that will be the case with this bird; M+ is life so I think a lot of folks want 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 lol Quote
kajnrig Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Okay, I'm gonna dip out of this for the next hour or two. Nothing anyone can do but wait at this point. I'll try to post any links available when I get back, just on the off chance that anyone has missed them before then. Quote

But even for me I’m interested in getting 1 order in just for the diversity and adding a forward swept wing fighter to my VF-1 collection so far. Fingers crossed I will be able to get one on PO, otherwise I’m going to find it hard to pay extra to get one on release. Quote

adankree Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Does anyone know Bandai's suggested MSRP of the VF-19? Quote

eXis10z Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) Do the other sites like CDJ or HLJ charge our card when the item arrives or immediately? Edited April 27, 2018 by eXis10z Quote
