Ha ha ha.  Edited your comment for another musical reference Mommar.

We'll see how this pre-order madness goes this Sunday.

Edit: I might try and get Max's 1a (no guarantees)

Just one for me. Hope to get one from Amazon or HLJ to save on shipping.

I might become a victim of peer pressure for Sunday's DX Max.

No, but it would seem you stumbled on the JAN: 4573102567222

For example, DX VF-1J is 4573102551382

Why is the animation so fluid, then goes full potato? Did they run out of money mid-sequence? Someone interpolate please!! T_T

because during pre-order everything is smooth until that minute the PO opens.

[scand]

For anyone who secures a pre order for multiples and doesn't need them please let me know. I'm down, unless I can secure payment through a vendor. thanks. Best of luck!

Most retailers don't usually have it until close to the PO opening. Just follow this thread when it's close to PO start and kind members will usually post the links. when they become available.

I’m still debating on this. I’m real picky about owning multiple Valks in the same scale. I planned on only getting Hikaru Valks but these pictures are killing me lol. Someone tell me I don’t need it haha

[jenius]

Oh i thought this was going up tonight, glad we still have another day.

This Sunday 2pm Japan Standard time or it's Sunday night/Early Monday Morning on the 8th (depending in your time zone).

Adjust accordingly to your time zones (or possibly pay 2x the MRSP after the official release date in August/September).

MONDAY 2PM JST. You got me worried with Sunday...

[borgified]

Well.. That happens when my brain is scrambled while working late afternoon shift.

Oh... Before I forget. An additional heads up for those who are into Bandai's Movie Realizations figures, pre-orders for Outlaw Wolverine is also on the same time as well.

So effectively: "You can kill two birds with one stone" as the quote goes.

[sh9000]

Looks like 12 AM Monday for me.  Good thing it’ll be an easy week at work that week.

Thanks @borgified. The countdown timer from @Convectuoso shows 18 hours 45 mins to go, which seems to suggest Monday 3am Eastern time US (4pm Japan Time), but I will be up early anyway to make sure I don’t miss this PO madness party!

[Shizuka the Cat]

*peeks in*

While I am not planning on pre-ordering the DX VF-1A TV Max, I might pop in to post prices and store links.

I have a paper due tomorrow for my AI class, so I figure I will be awake anyways.

[vlenhoff]

I always wanted  Vermilion 1/48 squad... So you know where i stand here...

I have passed on so many releases due to priorities in life, and somehow, the circle is now complete...

 

[moose]

So its 2pm Monday Japan time are we sure on that. I am still looking for a product page from the retailers  any luck?

Only Nin-Nin has put up a product page for it so far. As far as the countdown timer goes, shouldn't it be set for 2PM vs 4PM? 

[HardlyNever]

I'm feeling bold.  I might just skip out on the pre-order madness and try to get it from Amazon Japan early in the morning.  Maybe...

Edit: Looks like I would need a new Prime account for AJ.  Didn't know that.  There goes that plan...

Usually up to this point all PO like this from Bandai has been opened at 4pm Japan time and so for me since I'm on the Pacific side the PO will start at  Monday 12 am, not sure from where that 2pm Japan time was taken from , but  still if you have doubts about the hour, later today probably at 9 pm PST or earlier lots of Japan Hobby websites will update their pages announcing this particular PO and there will most probably like always will put the starting time of when the PO will go up.

Yeah, I’ve been wondering where 2pm has come from as well.  Am I up at 1 am or not?
