DX Chogokin YF-29 (Alto) Durandal Valkyrie - Reissue

[eXis10z]

Hlj stopped now

[mamboeidos]

Damn it !!!! payment page screws me up again !!!!

[Lolicon]

Got my two so I'll have four Alto YF-29s come October/November. 

Can't believe it's this much hassle to buy a slight revision of a nine year old toy.

[Shukenzero]

Missed it at HlJ!

Yeah HLJ was only open for about 5 minutes. Which is an eternity when it comes to DX preorders lol

[Sanity is Optional]

Ok, I have an order at Nin-nin's original price ($230, plus another $10 in paypal fees) I want to cancel.

If anyone wants to take it over I can arrange that as well.

Your gonna have 4? Why you gotta rub in? Why so arrogant? 

Lol got my original two from waaaay back in the day.

I was going to detail one up, but now I'll wait for the revised version to do that. 

[Shukenzero]

I was refreshing the damn site as I was out. Then I get in the door, sit down a few minutes and I miss the thing! Sod’s law!

I'm never brushing my teeth again!

Whoa whoa whoa. You're not a greenhorn when it comes to DX PO nights. Your teeth should be brushed, kids tucked in, bladder emptied, and a bottle of whisky ready before 1400 JST.

[skullmilitia]

[Wally]

23000, same as AE. I think the currency option is in the top menu towards the right.

NP! That is weird but HLJ’s site has been pretty glitchy ever since they revamped it. Seems like it worked ok for a bunch of people once it finally opened though.

Hope everyone who wanted this was able to get one. I offered my extra to someone already but if they don’t want it and someone here does, just lmk.

 

[Shukenzero]

Hopefully they will have more in stock on release day! It’s stressful enough trying to get these preorders, and since things are a little heated I just wanna say that I’ve always felt the crowd here has been great and we should try and keep things amicable.

On that note, if anyone has trouble getting one on release, hit me up as my regular shop will probably be able to nab a few units.

As much crap I give NY for pre orders I actually for the first time ever got a DX pre order in at both Amiami and NY. Now pls NY ship my supers

[jeniusornome]

Well, for anyone who was wondering why Bandai would reissue Alto’s YF-29 again, this is a pretty good indicator of how popular he / it is.

[technoblue]

I had a feeling Alto's YF-29 would sell like bananas again. It's amazing how much pull that design has today, even with only a few minor tweaks. That said, I'm in the minority of those who are not drawn to it so I sat this one out. Sleep was more valuable to me and LEGO is capturing my attention more and more.

Bah, this is one figure I was really looking foreword to, but completely forgot about and slept right through. I’ll just have to wait for release and see what happens then.

Same here. I already have the “black and white” YF-29 duo of Roy and Ozma with super packs and decided to skip.

It seems that PO nights are now harder than they used to be a few years ago when I started. If/when DX Roy 1S comes out, I may just wait for release day and see what price I can pick it up for.

That’s going to be a heartbreaker

Woke up to almost 250 email notifications for this thread. I thought this one would be easier. Congratulations to those who managed to get one and best of luck to those who are still looking. Hopefully some will be available upon release. It's crazy that this is such a challenging hobby.

[spacemanoeuvres]

I missed out at HLJ because I had an out of stock item from the last PO madness in my cart! By the time I removed the old item and tried to checkout again it was gone 

[Muzaffar]

I already have the 2nd version of the YF-29 so I'm not gonna sweat it.  It's still in fighter mode all these years lol.  I do however have a question about Nin-Nin Games.  Are they reliable for pre-orders like HLJ, Hobby search, CD japan and AmiAmi?

I had 2 figuarts piccolos in my cart and had to check out with them because I was afraid of any cart refresh. I sent them an email already to cancel them.

Smart move! I would have done the same but I couldn’t checkout with the out of stock item in cart haha

Roll the dice. I haven't had issues with them with my orders but it seems some have. You can still get your money back if ever they don't deliver.
