Ouch Same here...was trying to figure out. Usually I have the option of paying in local currency since I have a credit card that doesn't charge foreign exchange fees, but somehow that option isn't there. Quote

The scary thing about that PO is you're committing without knowing how much the store will charge as they can put it up for whatever the current market value, and if you pull out, then they get a free $15 USD out of you.

rocketblast Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 hmm I dunno, I probably should sleep before I get a headache from all this lol. I got one from AE at least, so that's cool. I'll try out bombusbee. going to go sleep on all this Quote

I looked at their price for the Metal Build Crossbone Full Cloth, and it didn't seem very friendly compared to what I paid for it from P-Bandai. Will be curious to know though, it seems it's a reliable site for TF folks. And now that I think of it, their price included shipping, so maybe it wasn't that bad. With P-Bandai I have to wait an extra month or so after release in Japan since it makes it way on boat to US for distribution. Quote

MKT Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Paid a bit too late at AE, so got a refund e-mail. Gonna be losing a few bucks from the exchange rate. Quote

Jade20X Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 I wonder how long before Nin-Nin makes it available again for PO. I’ll probably end up paying $450+ USD if I end up getting one at all from them. Quote

borgified Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 I'm going to turn in too @Kanedas Bike as I got my pre-order already. It's almost 1:00AM PST in the West Coast. Quote

eggy99 Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 I'm running automated watches on Plaza Japan and Okini Land for when they avail the pages for their VF-1J armored valkyrie POs and will post here unless someone else does 1st. I also have Ami on the list too, just in case they open up again, as that happened with 1S Roy last year also. I'll also add in CDJ too, since that also suddenly became available again a day later for 1S Roy. Quote
adankree Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Mmmmm...never had Anime-Export refund my money. I guess it wasn't meant to be. Oh well. Night folks. Quote
mantisfists Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 1 minute ago, eggy99 said: That is a relief to hear. Sounds like a reputable seller then. Here's the person's quote. There's a lot of people on that forum that vouch for him. He has a lot of good prices on Fanstoys products which, like Macross items, typically sell out super fast and get scalped at insane prices. Because of that, there's always people who are suspicious and plenty of questions are asked. But, everyone who's ordered from that site has gotten what they ordered and for the price they got in on. I can't say whether or not he's legit, as I haven't actually received any of the preorders I have through him, but it sounds like he is. At the same time, he could charge through the roof for this as well. However, the listing does say free shipping, as somebody mentioned, so anywhere around $380 is spot on, I'd say. Quote
ff95gj Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) The price on Amazon was 47800 yen, and now it's 42000. It may not ever go back to 33000, but there is a fair chance it will go back to under 40000. VF-1S Focker still has a lot of stocks around. Let's wait and see. Edited April 28, 2021 by ff95gj Quote
claude grant Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 First time in my life I've EVER landed one of these crazy as hell pre-orders. Amiami for $327 AND an order confirmation no! Quote
