I tried resisting, but... given that it is Max, and seeing how hard it was for people to pre-order one, I kind of succumbed to peer pressure and decided to grab it. Is it bad that its rarity kind of made it become more coveted in my mind? Oh god, did I just start collecting valkyries in yet another scale?! What have I done?!

Sanity is Optional Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Eh, don't get worked up over scale, just keep each shelf to a single scale and all is good. Quote

borgified Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) Congrats @Shizuka the Cat! I bet your waiting for Kakizaki to follow. Nothing wrong to get a 1/48 valk. Are you really that OCD?? EDIT: Waiting for Milia as well to further push you down further? If you have Max, Milia's got to follow (even though its the 1J). I've got another photo shot planned with since I got the Q-Rau Max now. Edited April 8, 2019 by borgified Quote

That's pretty much how it works, isn't it? I hesitated just a second or two when I refreshed and saw HLJ's order button finally pop up, thinking I might not need this one. That cost me that preorder, but in the end, it worked out as I prefer Amazon Japan anyway. But yeah, losing out on the HLJ preorder and seeing how hard it was to get one made me more fired up to get one. Also, I absolutely love this variant. Edited April 8, 2019 by gingaio Quote

Shizuka the Cat Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Oh yeah, I also pre-ordered the Arcadia VE-1 Premium Finish, when I already own 2 Elintseekers. *sigh* Radar domes are my kryptonite... as are apparently DX VF-1A TV Max *double sigh* Quote

neko878 Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 This round of pre orders was crazy. Many sites were sold out in the first 10 mins. Wow! Quote

For the 171 just get the Alto super parts set (cheaper than the CF, but no big missiles). The only specific parts are the wings, and the RVF-171 comes with a set of hardpoint wings already. Quote
fry Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 If it was 10 minutes I would have gotten 1. I think it was more like 1min. Quote

Alphahorizon Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) Funny thing I noticed, I hobby link Japan website I added the VF - 1A to my wishlist and notice that it stated this item is limited to 20 per customer.

Noticed this as well. In fact I was refreshing right when it changed from 1 to 20 limit per customer. I'm assuming it is just an automated setting that sets it to that after a certain amount of time.

Don't read anything into it, I've been stalking the SH Figuarts Iron Man Mark 85 on HLJ and the purchase limit flips from 20 to 1 arbitrarily as well. Was pretty salty that I got cart jacked at literally every place I had it in my cart, HS, AmiAmi, HLJ, and CDJ. I grabbed an hour of sleep between like 5 and 6 and ended up missing the Amazon (was that direct Amazon or a vendor?) orders as well. Classic case of can't win for losing. But a few hours later and some perspective I'm not as angry as I was this morning. After all, it is just a toy... -b. Quote
