Valkyrie23 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 I managed to get 1 at AE and 1 at Luna, so I am good. Thanks all! Quote
Radioguy Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Actually went with LP again (I feel like I'm playing Russian roulette every time, but I seem to keep winning). Damn this PO happening so fast after the last. I really wasn't prepared, and might have tried Yoyakunow. I really hope I don't regret this... Quote

Felix Posted January 26 Posted January 26 It was listed as "Sold Out " at AE a minute ago, but is now available again. Go go go! Quote
Radioguy Posted January 26 Posted January 26 100 pages, and still no one has had a stroke while ordering yet? Quote
dafob Posted January 26 Posted January 26 (edited) 18 minutes ago, Felix said: It was listed as "Sold Out " at AE a minute ago, but is now available again. Go go go! A glitch in the Matrix. It never showed as available again for me on two computers that were constantly being refreshed. A blessing in disguise for me. Had it in my cart and hesitated for a split second and it sold out in that second. I didn't really NEED a third one, did I?  🤣  EDIT: Just noticed the order did go through! It's just waiting for payment now. Dammit! Do I piss off my wallet and earn a few nights on the couch when the wife finds out with this third one, or do I let it go? Decisions, Decisions...

Felix Posted January 26 Posted January 26 ... and it's gone on AE again. I hope everyone got one somewhere. Quote
max928 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 how is luna park with shipping these days? i had some macross items ordered quite while back and it was shipped in a plastic bag... Quote
no3Ljm Posted January 26 Posted January 26 (edited) Was able to place an order at Anime-Export. Not sure if this is an out of impulse buy for me. Anyways, not sure if it's a glitch. But I was able to put the item in the cart. When I checked out via Paypal, I had second thoughts and click cancel and return to merchant. And realize the item is not in my cart anymore and it shows sold out already. And after feeling a little bit of regret, I tried clicking the back page and went back to Paypal page, and voila, it still let me pay for the item and now it's showing as paid in my AE my order page. Got lucky I guess in spite of having second thoughts.  I like this one better than VF-1D so I think I'm good.  Edited January 26 by no3Ljm Quote

betocc Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Hobby Genki went live a few moments ago, I got one, it seems it is already sold out. Quote

The DX VF-1D didn't have a lot of bubble, but enough. The VF-1S Mechanic Edt. had more, but the outer box looked repurposed a bit. Still arrived in immaculate shape. Quote

MKT Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Lol Yoyakunow must have roped in more family and friends to open purchase accounts at P-Bandai  8 minutes ago, max928 said: how is luna park with shipping these days? i had some macross items ordered quite while back and it was shipped in a plastic bag... Yeah these days there doesn't seem to be any more complains on plastic bags. But since this is a TWE item, we know the brown box is the shipping box used for JP domestic shipping. It would be prudent to remind LP again during or near release to actually use a proper shipping box for international shipping and not rely on the Bandai brown box alone. Quote
Felix Posted January 26 Posted January 26 I will say that if anyone has missed out on a VT-1, give the sites a few minutes to catch up and process credit cards. I have on more than one occasion managed to pick a pre-order up on the rebound a little bit later by camping and waiting for someone else's credit card to get bounced. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Got one at yoyakunow. Not sure if I want to get another at Luna. Quote

Didn't need to ask. Again, maybe I am lucky. Maybe I won't be this time. Quote

Radioguy Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Nin-Nin is US$299.81 shipped to the USA for those yanks who wonder what the total would be. Quote

Thanks in advance. And if paid by PayPal, it would be safe if they don't come through with the item, as far as refunds? Quote
