Had same experience *remind and to package correctly. After last two items were packaged and reinforced. Quote

And if paid by PayPal, it would be safe if they don't come through with the item, as far as refunds? They are legit from my experience. Edited January 26 by matic Quote

kyekye Posted January 26 Posted January 26 This time, I'm gonna wait until BBTS and/or Amazon Tamashii store list it. It looks like Yoyaku keeps re-opening the order page periodically. Quote

Hoshizora Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Thanks to today's VT-1 pre order, I realised Yoyaku messed up my Hi Metal R VF-1A Max and Kakizaki orders. Due to busy work schedules, I have overlooked the release dates. They haven't sent me any shipping notice, hope I do not need to go thru the NY fiasco. Just dropped them a message to find out what happened. Quote

vt102 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 I hope my order goes through at Luna Park. I had it sitting in my cart for a while. It processed.. fingers crossed 🤞 I haven't made a big single purchase for a collectible in a while. I almost didn't buy it. Gonna have to sell some of my Yamatos soon. Quote

no3Ljm Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Can anyone confirm that the listing at Anime-Export is now blank? https://anime-export.com/index.php?product=76372 I don't remember any of their sold out pages like that. For example: DX YF-21. I checked My Orders page and it's still there. Hopefully it's still safe. Quote

Lolicon Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Welp, as I expected my proxy order got canceled. I flew too close to the sun on wings of pastrami. Down to just one order now, and now I'm not really sure I need a second one. I wonder if I can just jam Hikaru and Misa into my spare Yamato VT-1... Quote

Having said that, they did the same with the Hikaru Mechanic Edition and then put it back up under a different url. Quote

AE done that in the past making a page blank. not often but they've done that with a metal structure figure. Quote

Anasazi37 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 My proxy came through! Woke up to find a confirmation email in my inbox. After processing fees, the total is close to what sites like Yuyakunow are charging. Out of curiosity I checked AE's site this morning, didn't see a listing, and thought maybe they're taking their time, which they sometimes do for TWE POs. But then I read through the last few pages of comments in this thread and saw the blank page on their site. I can't remember seeing that for a Macross TWE item before. This one went FAST. Everywhere.

Just dropped them a message to find out what happened. Yes, like with with Yoyakunow who was heavely recomended by some people here. It is great to have everyboday sharing information about personal experiencie so we can take a decision if go or not with a store 🤔 Hopefully everybody will receive their valk 😁 Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted January 26 Posted January 26 I thought that was a relatively good PO. Happy I limited myself to 2 copies 🤑 Great job everyone woo Quote
dafob Posted January 26 Posted January 26 (edited) Should we be worried that Luna Park still has PO's open and available, esp. for a TWE item? Have they been known to oversell and cancel people's orders at a later date? I know we've all been traumatized by NY, but it totally reminds me of my final PO with them before they went under. It was for the SSP, which was a TWE exclusive. They never "sold out" of the item so I'm sure they got a ton of orders (and $$$) from that. That's when they ran away with everyone's $$$. Also, no experience with this place but here's another option for brave adventurous souls: https://sidesevenexports.com/products/vt-1-super-ostrich-july-august-ship-date Edited January 26 by dafob Quote

Luna has always had long windows on things, I think the continue to list more as they can get people to grab orders. The price usually raises with each new batch of listings. that’s how it went with the VF-1D anyway Quote

sh9000 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Ordered 1 from Yoyakunow yesterday before I posted the link. Had a good night's sleep without having to stay up. Woke up randomly at night to see they had it available again and ordered another one. Both are paid for and in my private warehouse there to combine and save on shipping. Too bad they don't have a rewards system. Quote
weiser21 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Has Luna Park improved their shipping practices? The may be the only game left. Quote
