Angesdad Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 ordered through AmiAmi, no updates yet. Quote
Anasazi37 Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 I'm now picturing a Bandai delivery truck, filled with VF-1S toys, broken down on the side of the road.... Quote
betocc Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 AmiAmi has been incredibly slow for me on my last orders so let´s just wait here Quote
68whiskey Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 Do any of you know when that Hayata plus Ghost version/bundle is coming out? Im debating on ordering the ghosts and hayate seperate vs waiting for a bundle like the did with Messer + ghosts. Quote

What I know is that Hayate AX is going to get reissue after the Super Ghost release. But, news for a bundle release, no. Quote

The plan was to have one hayate for supers , armors and ghosts. Then never buy a valk ever again because of the way they are handling this franchise Quote
sh9000 Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 Amiami charges 2600 JPY for surface. I'm having my 1 HMR VF-1S Super Valkyrie from Amiami and 1 from Hobby Search shipped surface and my 2 from HLJ and 2 from Hobby-Genki shipped with faster shipping. Quote
Anasazi37 Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 Just got my "in stock and ready to ship" notice from AE for the VF-1S. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 Just paid Hobby Genki $25 to ship my VF-1S with UPS. Quote
sh9000 Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 Since Hobby Search charges tax to 18 states in the US so far and other countries I'll order from them less often. HLJ shipped my 2 HMR VF-1S Super Valkyries with Fedex. Quote
Agent-GHQ Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 Damn that sounds quite discouraging Quote

Just be careful purchasing from Luna Park. Whether a premium member or not, expect your box items with dents. Quote
Chronocidal Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 Or be prepared for them to ghost you entirely. I completely forgot until recently that they still owe me a Mirage 31AX I was so unimpressed with that design, it never even registered. Quote
Radioguy Posted February 24, 2023 Posted February 24, 2023 I'm not endorsing them! I've read how they are viewed here. I've only ever had the one order from them (via their "premium" url) for a DX VF-1D, and it arrived well-packed. Maybe I was lucky in hindisght. Anyhow, this is a WWM release, so I doubt many need to go to them for this one. Quote

The only reason i order directly from japanese online store is because the price and their fast shipping compared to my local hobby store. But LP premium price, flat high shipping price and their slowness make them bad in every aspect imo (why the hell we need to remind them/asked to shipped our order?). I would prefer pay the premium price when the item is released rather than pay permium PO price from them, at least i know i would get the item immediately. They always seems to accept order before other store start doing so and closed the order long after another store. This make me think that maybe they source their stock not only from the manufacturer but also buying it as customer from another store? This practice is the one that make NP dead. Quote
Angesdad Posted February 24, 2023 Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) Stay away from LP if you can. Speaking from my own experiences. Edited February 24, 2023 by Angesdad Quote

Chronocidal Posted February 24, 2023 Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) To be fair to them, they are saying if they can't find stock of that Mirage 31AX, they will give me a full refund. Will wait on confirmation of whether it's for store credit or not, but the tone of the email was a whole lot more understanding than anything I ever got rom NY. Even if it is store credit, I'm sure I can come up with something to get from them. I think browsing their shop might be where I picked up a spare set of 31 super packs to repaint for Arad. This is a rare case though, and I would be more upset... if the thing they couldn't deliver wasn't a duplicate of an item I'm not sure I actually want anyway. But yeah, I wouldn't make them your primary source for anything. Items and orders getting lost in the shuffle isn't unheard of, and maybe I just got unlucky, but this seems to be a trend with them. Edit: Apparently they still had stock, so I just got a shipping notice. I'm not exactly surprised though, I really don't know if those sold well at all. Edited February 25, 2023 by Chronocidal Quote
DewPoint Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 How do we know that they just didn't go to Mandarake to aquire stock? I glad you are getting your order finally filled, but it just makes one wonder. And yeah, you shouldn't have to inquire about your order status. Quote
Convectuoso Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 What time should the PO for the HMR VF-0D start tonight? Quote

borgified Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 I don’t know about this pre-order HMR 0d madness since you can also get this as an MWW release, but the HMR Orguss (for us that are still getting it regardless) is going up at the same time later tonight/early next morning where ever your located in.

I'm still on the fence about the Orguss. It costs more than a 1/48 DX VF-1.... Quote

HMR Orguss? This is the first I've heard of it. Do you have a link where I can get more info on it? Quote

sh9000 Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 The best way not to endorse LP is to stop posting their links in multiple threads. Quote
DewPoint Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Just for reference as this will likely be available tomorrow from AmiAmi: HI-METAL R VF-0D Phoenix (Shin Kudo's Unit) "Macross Zero"(Pre-order) HI-METAL R Orguss "Super Dimension Century Orguss"(Pre-order) Edited March 1, 2023 by DewPoint Quote

DewPoint Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 I honestly have no clue how difficult it might be to get these later. Roy's VF-0S is still available form Amazon ($160 US). Most non-Macross Hi-Metal R are available with some below MSRP. The exchange rate helps. Quote
Lolicon Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 HMR has pretty much always been easy to get at or even below MSRP after release, so don't sweat it if you miss the initial PO. Also, Macross Zero doesn't enjoy the same popularity as Frontier or (sigh) Delta. I slept through the PO for the recent VF-1S and just picked one up on release day, no sweat. That's as popular a unit as you're going to get for the entire franchise. Quote
