I understand that the tech involved in a Valk more than likely does not require it to have a cheek weld, to have a forward c-clamp grip, or to pull the rifle in to its shoulder. For me, it's just something different than what we're used to seeing (shooting from the hip a la *name your 80's action movie*). I shot a few more poses with my other camera, just some fun stuff, will upload when I get back from Japan it's cool, I like military accurate poses too. keep those photos coming 12 hours ago, Lolicon said: Not you too, Robocop!

theraiden Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Question. Regarding the upcoming PRE-Order madness when Roy's 1S will be up. Does anybody know if there is a customizable bot-shopping system out there akin to these: https://www.aiobot.com/ https://forcecop.com/ And a thought.... If all of us who are going to buy a Roy would pool together funds, say like 5$ each, to actually hire a Bot programmer to make a Bot for us to beat the scalpers at they're own game. Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Also saw these: Wonder what's wrong with the 1/60 Roy. Never seen it so cheap, apart from it being open box. Guess I probably should have asked to look inside, maybe it was yellowed to crap or worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be enough interest in making this happen If any of you can think of programmers or developers that might be interested pm me and i will contact them if you don't want to do it yourself.

I tried to get something like this started a few months back but it didn't go anywhere. I'm hoping you can get something dialed in. I think it's crazy that we have such a large buying block here on the board and the opportunity to get organized and pool resources hasn't been taken advantage of. Collectively we have power. I'm guessing we represent a majority of the US market. We need to "unionize". I'm in for way more than $5.00 is this can happen. If it gets me PO pricing on some VF-1S Roys, fantastic. But if it only disrupts some scalpers and I get a fair/decent deal on some Roy's I'm good with that too! I would suggest thinking about starting a dedicated thread.

jeniusornome Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) Other collectors: “yeah that’s cool I might pick one up later.” Macross fans: “we need to hire someone to write a program to buy us these figures the second they are available!” I think there will be some available after release. Maybe not as many as the Max figure. Edited November 12, 2019 by jeniusornome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemanoeuvres Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) I researched purchasing bots after getting the life cart jacked out of me the last few DX preorders. I got cold feet once I realized I would probably have to offer login and financial details to an application that I don’t understand, written by someone halfway around the world. That’s how identity theft occurs lol Jokes aside, I’m sure there are precautions you can take but it was just too much trouble. I wish you all luck. If you enjoy any success I’m sure most of MWF will want to order via purchasing bot to avoid scalpers and loss of sleep!

vladykins Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I'd throw in $5 for a anti-scalping bot. Lords know I paid more than that in mark-up when I didn't get in a PO for Max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distill isn't a shopping bot, it's just a plugin that lets you know when a page updates. Not very useful for pre-order madness, but helps when you're watching for things to show up on Mandarake or the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavinrac Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 The folks you have to deal with to get this done seem shady to me.. I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to do some kind of negotiation with a vendor months before a release to hold some stock. I have no idea, just throwing out a random thought.
