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.

Isn't NY a questionable site though?

Yeah. I’m a little peeved. But also relieved that I didn’t strike out yet. 

[nathans82]

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.

yes its surrounded with controversy...but like to some of the members here...they havent failed us yet....

in this case the armor parts are coming out in september...paypal protection is 6 months....so.....do the math...

of course final decisions are personal

[ErikElvis]

I’m done with NY. They have about $500 of my super and strike parts floating around in the ether. 
 

sorry I missed AE

wow nice price!

[Guyffon]

I used a new proxy for my TV supers and they came thru with only 500yen mark up, thus this time round am going to use them again

[nathans82]

And done, have a good morning folks.

[Chaos]

Woo, got it.  Time to celebrate with the last episode of Falcon and the Winter Soldier

is hobby genki reliable?

I think the owner of the website came here to post before, it was a few months back.

[sh9000]

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.

[Anasazi37]

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.

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.

They are scammers, just that.

Ordered the bundle from lunapark with discount code.  I feel better having the backup copy, now PO madness will not be quite as madening :/

I'm going to make a WAG that the full sets won't be in such high demand.

Fingers crossed for Roy like availability on release day onward. You can still pick those up for $315 shipped.

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.

[Sanity is Optional]

Woke up and my FromJapan proxy order for 2 went through. Nice and easy, just the way I like it.

Luna park doesn't ship to USA? No way to change shipping method from EMS? Am I missing something?

They do ship to the US. When my Roy with them popped up, they shipped DHL.

did they go for a second run? seem like it is still available: https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000156477/?_ga=2.226375837.667221276.1619066772-1917408904.1617340876

My proxy had not confirmed order.   

[MKT]

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.. 

[rocketblast]

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.

for just the armors... I almost thought it was for the whole set :\

Yes, because it's TWE it's more like reserving using their service as a proxy than a pre-order so not the same strictness we see on regular releases where they are retailers.

Thanks, good to know, I was all ready to get up at 3am... (after a 16hr day too - argh!)

Yeah I need to get another armor set with valk
