jenius Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) Amazon gave me the no foreign address error. Edited September 22, 2019 by jenius Quote

It's only showing up in the app and not their website. I must've caught a glitch window or got really lucky. I received email confirmation. But, I have to think they'll open it up in a legit way where we'll see it in both the app and site. Quote

If you're ordering now, use a vendor that has the Amazon.co.jp shipping center icon on it. That should give you international shipping as an option. Quote

No, we're referring to purchasing directly from Amazon Japan G.K. It's been showing up as an option on the app for the past several hours (not on the website though,) but it's been giving different errors when adding to cart or trying to check out. I was fortunate to land it and process the order for 18,000 Yen. But no reports of others hitting yet and now it's down again. Here's a pic of one of the errors. (This was before I landed the order.)

Slave IV Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 When you guys use the app, is there a specific AJ app or is there a way to set the regular app to Jp mode? Quote

Go to settings and you can select your region, with JP being one of many. As long as you have your regular Amazon.jp credentials you should be able to log on. I was on about 5 minutes after the initial "heads-up" post and got the same error message. I actually managed to get one into my cart where it immediately disappeared. -b. Quote

Working on #3 or #4 depending on if an earlier Amazon.jp order falls through. Only got 1 at a "preorder price" all others are varying degrees of the "buy of shame" where I bought at a markup. The 1S is going to be a real PITA to get, so good luck to all of us. -b. Quote

Yuuup. This is my 2nd 1A at less than MSRP, but really just practicing for 1S. I bought one at markup PO night but determined for one at MSRP. Quote

borgified Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 The demand for either Hikaru's/Roy's 1s will be a given bloodbath. Not feeling Max's 1a for some strange reason. Quote

Not feeling Max's 1a for some strange reason. I skipped Max's preorder night. I picked up Hikaru's VF-1J weeks after the release at a moderate markup. Just so I could have at least one example from the new line. Even though I was very impressed with the toy I'm not a fan of that Max variant. His price is still good but I have already over paid on a Hikaru VF-1S preorder. My preference is Roy's but I expect that preorder madness to be even worst than Hikaru's. If I can't get Roy's at least I got Hikaru's. If I have to over pay for some of these toys it will means I'm going to skip getting some of the others ones like Max's 1A. Quote
Slave IV Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Roy’s 1S is a must but I want Max’s 1S more. Quote
Major Focker Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 i caved and finally got a 1J at a local store for $450 the store owner happened to be there while i was browsing so i tried to go for a discount. he countered saying it was a first release edition that comes with a stand. was there even a 2nd release sans stand? and cheaper? about to walk away, he mentioned buying online would entail $30-40 shipping and about $80 in import taxes. sounded about right. so the apples to apples price (vs. a web purchase) was now $330. still, there was a chance i could've avoided taxes; so back to $410 comparable price. seeing i was unconvinced, he threw in the missile set. quick check on webstores pegs it at $110-130. but i already have a missile set which i bought for $50, intended for the VF-1S. anyway, i took his offer. so in the best case, that VF-1J was effectively just $200, and in the worst case $360. still unsure whether it was a good deal or not. as you can tell, i'm still trying to rationalize my purchase...

seti88 Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Sounds about right. Well if you want more rationalisation, it will feel right at home into a gbp. Quote
Knightdramon Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Count me on the same boat as waiting for NY to ship mine out. Have it bundled with the missile sets [which did NOT come cheap]. First world problems...I also have DYRL strike packs on PO [separate order for december] but they don't match Max's valk at all. That means I'll have to at the very least double-dip on the 1/48 line... Quote

Lmao great rationalization! I know they are going to release the vF-1j again probably with supers. Bandai is gonna milk this mold for millions! Quote

Saviant Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 The video plays fine in Australia, maybe HG blocked it due to the music Quote

Digitalfiend Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) Btw I’m tempted To buy a YF-19 Full Set and was wondering if some of the missiles will fit the VF-1? Anyone know? Edited September 22, 2019 by Digitalfiend Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 They will kinda, but probably will fall off. Quote
