Got a metal build Eva 02 but missed this. Well going to be interesting what "worldwide" means in terms of other retailers outside of Japan selling it.

[Mommar]

Has anybody tracked one down on amazonjapan or anime-export yet?

All Gone

[Sanity is Optional]

Went up on Anime Export, but out of stock now.

Managed to grab one...

I really hate daylight savings time, was almost 20min late to the pre-order.

[Mommar]

A lot of fat good this does for anyone.  Sold out already too.

Back in stock at Amiami!

[Sandman]

Oh by fluke got one at amiami. Unfortunately went too fast and clicked through my old address. Hopefully i can change it later.

[Lolicon]

That's the fastest I've seen a valk go into order stop status at HLJ (I didn't even finish logging in). 

Worldwide scalpers is more like it.

Yeah I had one in my cart at Amiami when it went to closed status but was able to check out after 10 minutes of server error messages. 

[Mommar]

I noticed a lot of people referring to it as the "Max 25" I wonder if a lot more people went for it because Max is popular outside of Japan.  The 29 will be absolute murder then.

Yeah I thought it was a Max Valk, because it's blue and has the skull.

Well, I've missied all the preorder. Got cartjack from Amiami, HLJ, Hobby Search, too slow to login.

It's as much a Max valk the way that the 30th anniversary YF-29 was a Roy valk. Meaning not really but people keep saying it till they believe it.

That is fast af boi!

I'm curious how many of us here are American looking for this? If you're American, would you be able to purchase this using US Bandai?

[Valkyrie2008]

It's still showing one in my HLJ cart, but I can't check out 😅

Doesn't show Macross on their website.

[MKT]

Looks like this PO is just like any other Macross PO.. gone in a flash! Despite it being so-called worldwide release, and Amiami even restricting it to NON-Japan orders only, it's still as difficult as ever. 

Yet I think its not really surprising, seeing how other stuff like Metal Builds Gundams & Evangelions which are never region locked, have been experiencing the same PO rush for years.

I just don't understand how they can claim Macross worldwide and NOT have it available online for its other Bandai locations... 😒

I will give them a few days, maybe a week, to see if they have an announcement. Otherwise, I feel you! I'd much instead purchase here in the states.

So how do people find these links before they are added to preorder sections of sites? Like this stuff isn’t on HLJ front page until they’re gone.

Are you asking what’s in the secret sauce?

Everybody have their prefered site, of course all of us only generous enough to share the link AFTER we ourself secured our order😅

In many cases because we're too busy checking out before we get cart-jacked to make a post.

[Mommar]

I already posted this in two other places on this messageboard.  If we don't TELL Bluefin to order this crap they'll never look into it.

Question, is this pre-order for japan only? are there any chance the PO will be open for another country?

[Alphahorizon]

Congrats to those that scored. Seems like this one flew under the radar for many this time around. Didn't even attempt it myself. Bad business model IMO to create the scarcity. I'll try to for the MB Ev02 and the VF-25 World Wide at another time I guess.

[Corrinald]

Yeah I didn't bother. Will wait for it to show up in the US however that's going to work.
