Kuma Style Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 17 minutes ago, DYRL VF-1S said: That is just referring to the shipping price. It isn't referring to product availability. And the shipping populates through the checkout process which is 1,600 Yen for Global Ship. Hey thanks! That makes a lot of sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjdetweiler Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 6 hours ago, Digitalfiend said: Ugh, trying to decide whether to grab a VF-1S pre-order using a proxy service (e.g. FromJapan) or wait until around release date to see if HLJ or AE have some extras/PO left-overs come available. My only concern with the proxy service is they have to wait for the seller to ship to them, then shipping it to me...and what happens if something goes wrong with the seller, etc. Decisions... Has anyone grabbed a late PO resale from a proxy service before? Its good that we are seeing Max available even with a bit of a mark up but I think Hikaru's VF-1S is a different beast, hopefully this is not the case but I doubt it. I got a PO from HLJ and also bought one from NY with 25,000 yen mark up when the PO opened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Rasp Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 My Amazon order from Saturday hasn't shipped yet. The expected delivery date is this Sunday (Sept 29th) and I ordered from If it doesn't ship tonight/tomorrow it will probably be cancelled and I am hope there will still be some units left from another seller. I have no luck with Macross stuff from Amazon Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Mine showed up in my city around noon, but will probably deliver tomorrow. To my work. On my day off. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuma Style Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) So at this point would it be best just told hold off on Amazon.Jp until people's actually ship? Edited September 27, 2019 by Kuma Style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey728 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Maybe it's certain sellers. I had pre-ordered mine from AJ, received one, and another is expected to come later today. I'd say go ahead and order and if they don't ship, you don't get charged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided to test them out back in Jan for the DX 1J. They had MSRP rates. Anyway they had JapanPost tracking for like two weeks that never populated actually in JapanPost. I made a case with PP and they never responded. PP refunded me and took it from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were you and you can place an order that says they will ship, I’d just do it. Worst case, they don’t ship and you get nothing but if you don’t order you definitely get nothing.

HardlyNever Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) Also ordered from eおもちゃ last weekend (via Amazon Japan). Nothing yet. I'm still not too worried, but maybe I should be. However, my credit card hasn't even been charged, so it's not like anything is really at stake.

totallyjem Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 If it doesn’t ship soon I’ll cancel and try a different seller...it’s super weird though since amazon is doing the shipping. Maybe they didn’t get his shipment in the amazon warehouse yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaaaaaank you. I know that it was brought up back in January but I never saw any follow up. I appreciate you answering me. One day I shall own the elusive DX VF-1J but today is not that day.

Digitalfiend Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) I broke down and ordered a VF-1 missile set from FromJapan, as Max looks a bit bare and I can use the extra missiles on a VF-1S (assuming that happens as planned haha). Also a good test to see how the FJ service works. I hate spending so much more (~$120 CAD) for something that should be much cheaper but whatever. I was tempted to crack out Fusion 360 and 3D print my own ... but don't really have the time for the next few months. Yes, I'm justifying my purchase to myself Edited September 27, 2019 by Digitalfiend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man I ordered it but then cancelled... something is just rubbing me funny about these having gauranteed delivery timeframes and not even shipping by them. I really want it though for valk mode display because the colors are stunning. So as soon as someone actually says these have shipped I'll probaby re order.

Dobber Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Got mine and it’s gorgeous! Though the swing bar is maddening and disengages on a whim. Much more so than the 1J’s. So much so that it is fairly difficult to get back on and have it stay on when transforming back to fighter. Kind of aggravating.

jvmacross Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 AE: 237.32 USD http://www.anime-export.com/product/45324 Hopefully, the VF-1S Hikaru will be this easy to get after release, would like to get another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerwookie Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I really really like the blue. The swing bar was fine for me and the nosecone is pretty tight, has snap to it. Have to get better at avoiding paint rub, that laser clearance for getting the head thru for battroid is pretty tight. My shoulders were correct and the bicep swivel is pretty tight that I wouldn’t want to twist it without holding the shoulder with my other hand. The intake cover for the right leg usually pops off when engaging the gerwalk joint because the ratchets feel nice and tight. Going to try to the waist swivel next for that knee to chest fist to ground superhero landing pose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digitalfiend Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 ^ He must be trustworthy as he has the same name as you! (XXXXXX) :P In all seriousness though, that is a killer deal. Hopefully, it works out. All the other listings on eBay that I'm seeing are in the $500-650+ range, which is just ... stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
