Going forward.....we would all come back to this thread for the next PO night and any future PO nights for ANY Macross-related PO product.... Additionally, mods can decide if it is worth locking and unlocking this thread as appropriate..... I think this experiment can work if we all stick to these guidelines...more importantly, it will eliminate dozens of pages of PO related posts in the "regular" DX and other Macross product threads that are currently available or can become available going forward..... Good luck Macross Worlders....I know you can do it! Suggestions/Ideas before the first PO Go-Live: 1. List pertinent info regarding the PO in the Subject line 2. Open thread a few days before the confirmed PO go-live date to try and capture and respond to FAQs 3. Come to a consensus on how long to keep it open after PO night....suggestions? thoughts? 4. The PO Night thread will be a recycled thread that will open/close with each new Macross product's PO announcement 5. The PO Night thread is mainly for PO that last for "one night only" (mostly Bandai)...however, any Macross PO will be listed here when info becomes available Edited June 6 by jvmacross Quote
jvmacross Posted February 8, 2021 Author Posted February 8, 2021 If Shawn or the mods are willing to give this experiment a try....it may also be useful to "pin" it... Quote
jenius Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 We may also want to try opening it a few days before the po goes live to spot the random early bird listings and allow for the usual chatter like "what does NY mean?" Quote
Scyla Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Good idea. However it has been ages since I participated in a PO night for Macross since Bandai doesn’t seem to release any toys. Or have I slept on various DX releases without even knowing that they are happening. Wait, is the DX YF-21 out already... Looking forward to all the Macross Delta: Zettai Live Valkyrie PO nights.

seti88 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 When I read the title of this thread, I tot there were going to be some live song and dance performances during PO nites...like macross delta zettai ...live!!! my bad! Next March/April could be possible PO territory... Quote

jvmacross Posted February 10, 2021 Author Posted February 10, 2021 Updating first post with some of the suggestions/ideas submitted so far... How long should the thread stay open after PO night? What makes sense or what have we seen with other PO nights? Essentially, it would makes sense to keep it open to capture related PO info like links to late-comer retailer links, etc.... Quote

I'm thinking after 2-3 week, the PO Madness thread will gracefully close down until the next PO is announced.... At that point, listings can either be listed in an appropriate "item of Interest" thread found here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/forum/13-where-to-buy-macross-auctions-amp-dealers-specials/ Or....we can agree to allow listing to be posted in the appropriate toy's product thread for a reasonable amount of time afetr the PO thread closes and after actual release date.....for the example, the VF-1D's thread is here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/49031-bandai-dx-vf-1d-july-2021/?tab=comments#comment-1568182 Again, this is all a work in progress.....any suggestions are welcomed while we wait for the next PO to be announced...

We all want confirmation that a retailer is going to deliver, especially when they appear to be the only option available at a reasonable (or not) price. However, there have been so many different experiences with the same retailers in question, the potential buyer really needs to understand under what circumstances things happened to make up their own mind on whether the risks are worthwhile to them.

This is an example of what I was afraid of. Changing things to change them without a well thought out plan ........and making things worse. I never heard of a plan that is flawless from day one...Have you? Just take some time and start reading what has already been said and suggested so far..... With that said, to answer your question...yes....the thought is to keep this "PO" thread active for 2-3 weeks after PO night....that is what we should all be trying to come to a consensus about...how many weeks after PO night would it make sense to keep this thread open? 1 week, 2...3 or more? Most of us have been through this and have a general idea of long PO "chatter" lasts after PO night....the point of this thread is to keep all that noise out of the "dedicated" toy threads.... For release day, all you do is simply start posting on the toy's dedicated thread......remember, we are going to experiment with going back with how things were done before.........so the first "test case" will be for the release of the Bandai DX VF-1D, which a dedicated thread has already been created and waiting for release day...it is also currently is open for posting anything "new" regarding its release that may come up between now and release day...

jvmacross Posted February 14, 2021 Author Posted February 14, 2021 I had another idea for PO Night.......I was thinking if it would be a good idea to also "lock" the corresponding toy threads.....in the case of the NEXT announced PO....we could simultaneously lock the page that will be created for it for a day or two while the PO Night page remains open (which currently it would remain open for about 2-3 weeks)....thoughts? My concern is that some members seem to NOT want this plan or "idea" to work....so I can see those individuals continuing to fill the pages we are trying to keep clean with the type of posts that should remain here in order for this experiment to have a shot at succeeding....thoughts?

My concern is that some members seem to NOT want this plan or "idea" to work....so I can see those individuals continuing to fill the pages we are trying to keep clean with the type of posts that should remain here in order for this experiment to have a shot at succeeding....thoughts? Nah, that could make this place start feeling authoritarian. If you need to force people to do things it means it probably isn’t the best plan to begin with. Just leave it and see how it goes. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 Sure would be nice if there was an actual pre-order to talk about -b. Quote

technoblue Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) I'm late to the discussion, but wanted to say that I'm really into the new direction we're taking with this pinned pre-order thread and the separate toy threads. I'm hoping that it all works out, although I also understand how big changes like these get pushback from those who got used to the previous paradigm. I've seen it in the writing industry as everyone there is still slowly moving from printed publishing to the more modern digital methods of content delivery. There are a lot of parallels there, but it's all off-topic on this site, so I'll just summarize it by saying this: although there is push back early on, once your audience sees that the new system is working it's usually accepted by most. All that is to say that I don't think we need to worry about any hardline stubbornness in this case. Anyway, I like the idea of a 2-3 week window for keeping this thread "live" so to speak. As long as there is an active pre-order going on during that window, this thread should be open to new posts—an accessible resource. If we enter a lull that's longer than that set time, then ideally all thread activity should die down naturally within the same short window. There may be some stragglers who stop in, but these forum members would be able to easily review the latest pre-order activity and go to the respective toy threads to wait for release day updates. If things get out of hand, and something happens whereas this thread dives way off topic, the moderators can certainly lock the thread as they do. That's a good backup option. Basically, I'm thinking we should keep the purpose of this thread as simple and as focused as we can. I don't see any reason to make it complicated. Edited February 15, 2021 by technoblue Quote

It's gotten more brutal in some ways- Roy's DX was almost instantaneously gone at most sites. But we're seeing restock and drop in prices, so scalpers may have been beaten at their own game and things might return to ordinary PO madness. Quote
