I am only a couple days from the 180 day PayPal cutoff. Anyone have their super parts order shipped from NY? Heck, anyone even get their Roy shipped or is NY basically a lost cause at this point?

I opened ticket for 2 tv super parts I ordered from them. Has anyone received from NY?

They might do a reissue with the visor painted grey to go with the GBP, which would look very odd without.

I think so as well. I wonder why they didn't go with a grey visor in the first place?

Bandai will release considerably less GBP armor sets than the amount of VF-1J's they produced and will offer no word of a VF-1J re-issue.  It will instantaneously create an obscene secondary market for the GBP and make the current VF-1J market price seem like clearance pricing. :rolleyes:

...but seriously Bandai....release a GBP-1J full set pack! 8)

of the several bandai items  set to be released before xmas, only my tv packs have not shipped from NY. NY literally has shipped everything else i had ordered including several pbandai gundam thingies. 

I am just going to assume they will not follow thru, just like my still pending dyrl ssp order so I filed a claim already with PP

This is my vote. I want the googles grey. And I don't want the value of my 1st release 1J's to drop in value.:spiteful:

Oh...I forgot......after re-consulting with the all-seeing eye.....it seems six months after the GBP full set pack release....Bandai will go with the usual Tamashii web release of "parts" and issue stand alone GBP sets with "grey google" attachment piece.....they will also take the opportunity to giddily announce the re-release of the original DX VF-1J with exclusive "seated Minmay" figurine!  The PO will simultaneously break the internet and our dignity....oh and yes, upon release, YJA and eBay will become inundated with DX VF-1J's "without Minmay figure" listings quickly disemboweling the DX VF-1J aftermarket to sub-MSRP prices!

Anyone has trouble with AE?...Still no news about my TV SP, one week ago they send me a email, telling me that they will calculate shipping price. 

They're on holiday. You'll have to wait until they return.

Looks great! Too bad Roy died or we would’ve saw that in the show. 

Thank you @Rogueload, sadly he died before getting Supers Parts, but Roy can live on with the toys. Roy with Super Parts photos will be shooting soon. :D

 

Here's another shot of the VF-1J Super Valkyrie. Enjoy!

Don't give two shakes if this is "non-canon," it's gorgeous. ^_^  And it's not like it hasn't been done before...

I don't care either, but just had to put the disclaimer out there in case. :p

Lost cause, file your PP dispute now.  i got my refund over the weekend as well.

Can u still get paypal refund after they have issued store credit? My super parts preorder is already beyond 180 days.

Paypal cannot help you beyond 180 days. It's down to your credit card issuer or NY itself now.

This is the biggest risk going forward to places that require pre order payments 6 months in advance. By the time the release date comes, if they don’t ship it, you have already exceeded the PayPal claim window.

Don’t deal with them at all or they will issue you a store credit and then your essentially letting the people who never shipped the item in the first place to keep your money with an IOU.  Send one email to NY asking about your order not shipping and state that you will not accept store credit, then only deal with PayPal going forward.
