Always speculated it's their regular SOP since from a long time ago to make sure they're the only ones with stocks so they can jack their pricing. And not just with Macross items... Quote

Valkyrie23 Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 OK order at NY markup complete Got some kind of wierd final screen after coming back from Paypal site but its there in my order history. And PP email just came thru Quote
nathans82 Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Well, paid the markup on NY for the VF-1S, but got that GX-88 cheap on Pre-Order Later! Quote

Sandman Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 What a waste of on hour an a half i'll never get back. Quote
Chronocidal Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 HOW DID YOU EVEN GET IN? Sorry, I'm just completely bewildered. People have been waiting the entire night for NY to load. How can you suddenly load it, and get to the marked-up order before it's gone too?? Quote

Look at Buyee now with the VF-1A, the prices have went down. Yes, they are still marked up...but NY, at least for me, seems F'd up to take that type of advantage on its customers. I expect it from scalpers. Quote

Kanedas Bike Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Well I'm a dirty SOB and paid for the jacked up N-Y price since it didn't seem to be that much higher than the guy that got one thru proxy at Amazon. For those still in queue I just checked and it's still available, no pay-later option, for the low, low cost of $260.58 or 25,800. Yes, N-Y are absolutely scalpers. -b Quote

Yeah, I am still at 602, down from 1301 when it started Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 The GX-88 is back up at a markup as well 35,000 JPY Quote
jenius Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 A whole night of waiting at NY and i'm down to 92! Everything is still in stock right? Quote
MikeRoz Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Had to cancel my N-Y order and make a new one, but I finally stopped getting PayPal errors. 30300 JPY total shipped. Here's a question for the VF-1J early adopters among us - how hard was that one to snag on or around release day at MSRP? Quote
xrentonx Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Night wasn't a complete loss. I got the two Figuarts Star Wars figures, Bulma, and the samurai Kylo Ren figure at least. Quote

I started in the site early on in the night like 30 min before madness and then stayed searching in the site. I never went to the ticket. BUT, while I was waiting to process payment it cartjacked me. So I just purchased the markup. Quote
beatsing Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 I read the Syfy article someone posted here. How did they get Bandai to reissue the Eva? Do we have to write Kawamori? Quote

HayateAltoHunter Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Me too....did the markup NY after getting to payment screen at original PO price and having it crap out. Got two spinning screens at HLJ proceeding to checkout, been an hour and still spinning Quote

I've been trying to load it all freakin night. I never saw more than the ticket line page in the two hours since I started this nonsense. Quote

xrentonx Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 I'm 565 at NY. Surely a ticket system designed by idiots. Hahaha Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 bought the gx-88 at scalped price.....oh well. Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Ok just bought a 2nd one at NY sigh I just rather be done with it. I can always sell off some older macross stuff to trade up for this (like my older yamato 1/48 VF-1S Hikky) Quote
Guyffon Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 would those that got their copies be kind enough to get out of NY's site so someone else can go in? Quote
gerwookie Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Did anyone actually see the msrp price on amazon? Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 does NY usually demand payment on inflated products? Quote

Bit the bullet and just ordered from N-Y at 25,800 yen so I could just get it over with. The VF-1J was much easier. I was actually able order one from both CDJ and HLJ so I just ended up canceling my HLJ order. Quote
