MKT Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 Hobby Genki's price is the best deal at moment. It's even cheaper than ordering via some proxies.. Quote

Robin-11 Posted August 1, 2022 Posted August 1, 2022 Quick suggestion guys...if i had to choose the lesser evil, should i go with Nin-nin game or luna park? Not only for the angel birds PO but for pre-orders in general. Quote

Not only for the angel birds PO but for pre-orders in general. Some members here have their fair share of bad experience regarding Nin-Nin-Game and Luna Park. I used NNG before and so far it's a good experience. This is years before people here posted their bad experience of it. So not sure if management has changed after that. And just so you know that I did used NNG before when the priority shops have run out of PO's. As for Luna Park, based on what I've read is mostly regarding higher mark-up price and the bad shipping and handling. Also any chance that you're @Ryoma? Quote

Not only for the angel birds PO but for pre-orders in general. NNG was moving warehouse earlier this year so there was a period when they were slow to respond. They still came through for my orders, sometimes just had to email about things that were released. Hopefully they are more responsive after the move, but can't tell you from personal experience.

Actually yes no3Ljm, you are correct, i am ryoma. Unfortunately i was not able to retrive my password after the problems at the server few months ago and i had to create a new account. Nice to meet you again. Anyway, thank you for your suggestion. I think i will try luna park this time. I already tried them for a different kind of item on ebay a couple of months ago and everything went pretty smooth. Edited August 2, 2022 by Robin-11 Quote

Nice decision, at least luna still responding to your email when asked albeit their snail and need to be reminde to ship your order. Idk how they procure their supply but if they do buying from another store it wont be long befor Luna gone. NNG used ticket system like NY does so its a bit problematic. They delete your acount and bam no chat history and no evident. Quote

Also their website helps build the trust. They have a lot videos, youtube channel, social media interactions... the only thing i don't like is the premium user option they give you. Everything in that option should be already included in your regular account. Quote

Pontus Posted August 12, 2022 Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) I'm not one to keep up with the "pre-order madness" and only pop in once in a while to check for new stuff. I pretty much have everything I could want by now, but being in the middle of padding out my Delta collection with a few figures, when I saw that Max makes an appearance in the new movie (although I cannot find a synopsis for the life of me) with a beautiful, tricked out YF-29 that's currently up for pre-order on BBTS, I had to pull the trigger for what seems like a decent "old man tax" price, lol. Considering that I normally end up paying $300 for even the basic DX valks, $260 seemed reasonable. But am I going to get one? Usually if you miss the pre-order, you're stuck with the scalpers. But this is the first time we're getting US pre-orders for these things. Did BBTS order a set amount and haven't filled their pre-order quota yet? How does that work now? Looks like the YF-25 anniversary edition will come out any day now if it hasn't already, but it also still has pre-orders available on BBTS. I'm tempted to get that one, but heard that the QC wasn't too good. Edited August 12, 2022 by Pontus Quote

From what I read BBTS was the latest to ship, perhaps they were not able to fulfill all pre orders with the first quantity they received. Or they just ordered a second batch for new orders? Most likely they will deliver but it will take more time then other stores. Quote

I'm tempted to get that one, but heard that the QC wasn't too good. In case you're out of the loop, last year Big West and Harmony Gold made an agreement regarding releases. Big West labeled that as 'World Wide Macross'. Check links below. https://macross.jp/news-detail/1436/ https://macross.jp/news-detail/18862/ https://macross.jp/news-detail/1442/ This is mostly series post-SDFM from Big West and Bandai. It's why you saw some Macross stuff (non-SDFM) on some of the known US stores. And these releases will have the 40th Anniversary and World Wide Macross sticker on the box. So far, Bandai has the DX VF-25F WWM Anniversary, DX Max's YF-29, and HMR VF-0S. Any 'SDFM' releases coming from Bandai will only sports the 40th Anniversary logo. Quote
borgified Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Luna Park has the pre-orders for the new HMR 1s Super Valk (Hikaru version) Japanese version for 15.8k yen (at a slight markup?) https://www.lunapark.store/product-page/hi-metal-r-vf-1s-super-valkyrie-hikaru-ichijo-japan-version Quote
