Is Kurama Toys reliable? I've never placed an order with them. I never had a problem with BiJ but Kurama came in first... wondering what to do

I have ordered from them, I got my stuff.  They are a bit slow when it comes to sending stuff out but you will get it.

I just hope NIN NIN delivers my Roy.

Me too! I don't want to get scammed

[seti88]

Got the FJ cancellation and refund on the way.

If bandai dont want my moolah, it be silly to force it down their throat..

Gonna be a long wait to see if they come through for us...

[Sanity is Optional]

Yeah, at this point I've ended up with both a YF-29 and a VF-1S Roy pre-ordered with Nin-Nin (at MSRP). Hope there's no shenannigans.

Yeah i paid the first round yesterday. Then they cancelled today.

But hopefully you get it.  

Am not gonna feel pressured to get one. Its a lottery to me now. 

[Milk Krispy]

Any likelihood of other online shops posting some roys soon or is that ship fully sailed?

[bleecher]

I still haven't seen Playasia put these up and they have had all the other DX Chogokins.

35,000 yen. Ouch.

[Sanity is Optional]

There's the NY scalper price.

¥35,000 for the VF-1S Roy.

I just bought one at that price. Oh well.

[Sandman]

Wow! They went straight to 35000 yen without any increments. 

[technoblue]

It's amusing that N-Y's scalper price for Hikaru's movie 1S is 2500JPY less. I was expecting at least one more step with Roy before we hit the exosphere. Oh well.

[kkx]

Can't wait to get the Roy in Nov. Then the long wait for the TV super set to arrive by ferry in Feb 2021. This hobby require a lot of patient.

Kaki will be release in about 4 weeks, anyone on the same boat as me, hoping to get one on release day? I hope AJ will have some for about $250 shipped. Max is stable at 22000 yen, so I hope Kaki will not be too hard to get.

With Bandai's TV/Movie left right punch, it will be a long when we can see a full squadron.

Not me, I'm just in this for Roy...

I am in the "get them while you can" phase. Since I missed out on a lot of old releases (just started collecting toy last year).

These are in high demand, so if I change my mind (ie ditching all movie releases), I should be able to find a buyer without much trouble.

I also can't wait for the DX YF-21, that will complete the M-plus set (unless VF-11 is on the making).

Was just checking and saw them pop up and pulled the trigger. Woohoo managed to some fast packs. Haha doing it backwards now need the ball accessory lol

[Chronocidal]

Wow, limit of one set?  I guess Bandai is being skimpy with the availability on these.

Oh well, got one more there, so I should have one spare for a custom VF-1D set.

[kyekye]

Got one @AE.

I was checking NY. They are adding 1 new item every 10 min starting with character items. Probably another 20 min or so, it will appear.

[tjdetweiler]

ah yes! Proxy has confirmed my order

Yikes, NY - 35K for Roy? I remember Hikaru VF-1S was 25K after the initial PO price.

[Chronocidal]

Yeah, NY jumped an extra 10k yen on this one off the bat.  I wonder if they took a hit from Bandai for their early listing.

[seti88]

I wonder if NY will list their TV supers at 9.2k yen as they usually do....

Edited July 6, 2020 by seti88

[Corrinald]

35000 yen? No thanks... I'm not that desperate, NY.

Especially not with the very real possibility they will never send the product.

Edited July 6, 2020 by Corrinald

[Guyffon]

I guess NY already saw how nin nin crept up in price and said, thats amateur hour, let me show you how its done and came up with 35k

[seti88]

Seeing proxy listings at CDJ for roy popping up at 35-40k yen....
