Chronocidal Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 I honestly gave Nin-nin a shot, but I was stuck in a loop of the "add to cart" button never registering anything but that I already had one in the cart... except the cart was empty. I don't think any site I tried tonight actually loaded past the cart button. Quote

TrickyCustomer Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Nin nin at £242. If they keep going they will be at £307 which is what the Hikaru vf-1s is now. Quote
nathans82 Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Good night everyone, and congrats to everyone who got one, and don't give up if you didn't yet. Quote
yami4ct Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 First preorder hell and ngl it’s all it’s taken to change me to ‘I’m just gonna buy any other valks on Mandy or Jungle where I’ve gotten my others’. I’m done with this stress. Not worth it. I’ve dealt with a lot of figure preorder bullshit but this is stupid. Quote

Guyffon Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 3 minutes ago, Jello said: I'm guessing demand for a legioss is a lot less than these bandai DX's. So you're prolly competing with scalpers. either that or sentinel just makes a crap ton of them?? Oh its popular, as it was sold out on release day, and i don’t think sentinel produced more legioss than bandai producing vfs, my bet is that they have less scalpers doing sentinel stuff due to price point. Most scaplers want low risk high return stuff, bandai stuff are generally cheaper than the competition thus attract a lot of scalpers and collectors willing to pay up to $100 more for a toy they could no get on PO night, thus its seems lucrative. Of course these are my own observations over the years of macross collecting. Quote

Yikes... and here I thought the kuramatoys @ $259.90 + shipping was starting to get high. Nin-nin trying to outscalp the scalpers! Quote
Guyffon Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Maybe nin-nin is buying from the scalpers to scalp to us? Thus when they exhaust a certain price point they move to the next? Quote
RedComet Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Nin Nin Finally hit equilibrium at $302 it looks like. And it has at least stayed in stock over 2 minutes. If they do sell out though, I will feel better about my big oops... Quote
Kyp Durron Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) $302.02, LOL. Yep, $225 is looking mighty fine now. Edited July 3, 2020 by Kyp Durron Quote
moose Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Are these guys even going to bother with a listing https://okini.land/en/21236-dx-chogokin-vf-1s-valkyrie-roy-focker-special-bandai-spirits.html Quote

Thus when they exhaust a certain price point they move to the next? There are really two options. They split their stock into increasing batch sizes and are trying to suss out the highest they can get away with based on how fast it goes, or they are just planning to buy as much secondary market stock as they can on release day to fill orders. Probably number 2 Quote
sumyumgoy Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-060557 gogo everyone! Quote
rdrunner Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Change of pace folks, and to try to de-stress from a crazy PO night, some pics of the VF-1S thanks to Stone Cheung on the Macross FB group from the upcoming Tamashii Nations event. Quote
Kyp Durron Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Got one at Ami-Ami, but it's stuck in the cart, but I'm not gonna let that bitch go, LOL! Gonna keep hitting proceed to checkout! Edited July 3, 2020 by Kyp Durron Quote
Chronocidal Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Holy crap.. it went through with no loading.. I'll probably have to update the address later, but wow, spamming F5 might have paid off. Still up after checkout, maybe the bots are sleepy by this point Edited July 3, 2020 by Chronocidal Quote

SaitouSad Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Been F5ing since earlier so I'm glad they finally put more up Finally got one in Quote
Kyp Durron Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Currently we do not have enough qty for this item to cover your order. Please go back to the cart, and process again. We apologize for any inconvenience. Quote
rdrunner Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 damn. I have to keep refreshing the cart and when it finally went to the circle loading page, a login screen popped up (with pre-filled login credentials), but by the time I got through, they were all gone (can you say cart-jacked?) Quote

yami4ct Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 This literally might be the worst collecting experience I have ever had. Holy crap. SOCs, Limited Edition figuarts, hell even con exclusive transformers better than this Quote
myk Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Eh. Worse case scenario you pay scalper prices on fleabay but hey...if you want it badly enough the price is meaningless... Quote

There were a few exceptions but for the vast majority they were like this. Quote
Chronocidal Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 I'm still expecting NY to list a pile of them at 25,000Y or so soon, crossing my fingers for that so we can get more of them to spread around. Quote
