Well, I've got work in the morning, so I just gave in and paid Luna Park $309 shipped for one.

Oh well, at least pay ahead of time isn't so bad when the exchange rate's decent.

Thank you sir! I actually ordered from them when it first popped up so I need to snag another from somewhere else. Will keep an eye out

[bleecher]

Did Amazon JP ever open for preorders?

[jvmacross]

Cool.....another 5 pages of PO chatter kept out of the dedicated threads........another win for the dedicated MacrossWorld PO Thread!! 

 

Hope everyone who wanted one....got one...or several!  LOL

[Miles_Wolf]

What worries me is that Luna Park still accepts preorders while the others are already closed...

Yup.  For about 1 minute...😭

[jvmacross]

Did Okiniland, Kurama, or MyKombini list their PO yet?

Seems the only place currently "available" is LunaPark....

 

This guy shows you how much more money you will need to pay him for the priviledge of winning his auction using the buy-it-now!....LOL

not really, posted it after securing my order, lol. And the item link was posted by HLJ themselves an hour before it opened (though the page is not available or 404 before the order time) on a site. Was actually surprised it was not posted here much earlier.

No pay later; but within PayPal protection range. Buy at your own risk. 

[borgified]

Your money and your chances..

I believe they don't offer PayPal currently. It was removed a month or two ago, and unknown if they'll bring it back

Oh wow I was about to use a voucher to place an order an just noticed; no PayPal.
 

Ef that they can choke on the voucher, I’m not giving them any more money

The bs is once you start the checkout process and select a voucher you wont get it back... i've tried sending comms to their cust service and no luck. I lost a $40 voucher once and this last time i checked for the 31AX and selected the 2.3k yen voucher i had... lol. Fn NY.

[Miles_Wolf]

If you can't pay via Paypal don't even try to buy at NY. I got my money back thanks to the Paypal protection like a month ago.

Without it you surely will pay and not recieve anything.

What I remember seeing on the forums is that they got pulled from PayPal due to the number of refunds and disputes they had. So while tempting, I'm gonna stay away.

Wow.........so Paypal finally was forced to stop taking payments from them....good!  Too bad Paypal was complicit in the ripping off of several people world-wide for such a long time....oh well, I am sure not having paypal as an available payment option for overseas customers must be hurting their bottomline.....next up...closing down their business I hope!

Meh.. they'll probably just rebrand and we'd never know it. "NY closed?! Good riddance!! Hey everyone check out this new shop call YN!! They sell macross products too!"

LOL..read again...I said Paypal was complicit.....NY would not have been able to ripoff so many people without accepting payments through Paypal......paypal's short protection coverage was an easy way for NY to get away with their activity for so long......Paypal knew about it for at least a year full of complaints, yet only just recently, per the post from pafy, removed NY from being able to use their payment processing services....so you see....paypal helped NY rip-off people.......

I know, they ate about $400 worth of my vouchers due to backing out of orders, and the vouchers expiring because you can use them to cover a whole order.

Oh okay... you meant it from that angle, lol.
With pp's 180 day window NY definitely found the workaround that, after a 5.5 month preorder release date NY further stalls with saying they're 'preparing shipment' and then not sending the order (after 3 more weeks breaking the 180 days), preventing the buyer from filing dispute. XD

Damn!!! 400$! I thought my $100+ was bad.

To stay on topic... I applied a 2.3k disc i had left over to the order and selected EMS for 6.1k with the VF31AX it wouldve been 26.8k before additional cc fees through NY.

to clarify it's unclear if PayPal removed them or NY removed PayPal to prevent buyers from easily disputing and getting a refund. You would think that there won't be any buyers after removing PayPal, but there are still buyers who gamble especially during the NY sale a month ago.
