Jello Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 This being a PO for a TWE item will be a little different than a general release one. A few of the stores have already dropped their POs with a few more left to go. Not sure when they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathans82 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 This is always normal with TWE releases. Some put some out early for PO, and some don't do it until later in the day of Preorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh9000 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I wonder if they’ll change the packaging for the VF-1J Hikaru in the combo set.  I might get 1 combo set just to have it in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anasazi37 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Just checked the Tamashii Nations site and the armor set is sold out. That was fast. Maybe Bandai will do a second run of the set, but this doesn't bode well for the amount of competition we're probably going to face for the combo set during PO Madness. I'm hoping for Roy-like availability after release, but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I didn't expect it to be as popular as the super/strike sets. While it didn't sell out immediately, this was the first time I got kicked out repeatedly trying to complete the P-bandai checkout process during the initial rush at around 16:00. Finally was able to secure one 15 minutes later when the site calmed down a bit. It stayed up for a good while after that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed for Roy like availability on release day onward. You can still pick those up for $315 shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is bad, although I made my order at my proxy before it was sold out, my proxy is still showing order in progress....there is a chance I might not have made it.

MKT Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Wow sold out at Tamashii already. Most likely there'll be a second run then. Including a separate grey goggled head was a great idea; no doubt more people have bought this armor since it can now be pretty much put onto any other DX VF-1 valk.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketblast Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I might have to undo my armor orders at BIJ. Not only are they coming out with the VF-1J packed in set, but BIJ shipping is turning out to be outrageous. $75 to ship one set of TV super packs, that's a bit too much. AE is only charging people $48.
