twinmoons Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 Yeah, due to the Holiday on Monday, customs came to a halt. We got our shipment Thursday evening as well. By the way, we are getting another shipment in October and you can pre-order them HERE Quote
Fatalist Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 As of today 9/8/2003 Treasure Island does not have any in stock, but I was told they should have more in 2 weeks. ::crosses fingers::: Quote
Zeta Otaku Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 Big Bad Toystore has 1/48 FAST Packs in stock... although they are priced a bit higher than most places. Quote
brainiac_08 Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 BBTS has some in stock i just checked them today -J.J. Quote
mechatek Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 (edited) ...for sure, not everyone who has several 1/48 valks will be buying FPs for each one. Guess I happen to be one of the someones. I have one each of the 1/48s released and pre-ordered 3 FPs for Skull Squadron (which are on the way from BBTS.com, yipee!) Hikaru's 1S and its Fps are also on pre-order. I plan on using the TV FPs, which will be grey) on my Low-Vis. None of my valks will be nekkid as long as Yamato provides the armor accesories. Edited September 9, 2003 by mechatek Quote
VF Tyrant Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 Hi all. Kevin can you please tell us if your going to have more fast packs, and if we can make a preorder for the second run of fast packs. Quote
NSJ23 Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 Well HLJ still has the packs. Mine shipped today. $64 and some change with SAL shipping. Quote
min Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 according to toysrus japan, they will be getting more in november. only 3999 yen. Quote
bandit29 Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 I know it was said earlier but BBTS has then for 64.99 here's the link http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/subtoy2.asp?...?Queryid=mac085 Quote
Fatalist Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 Ordered mine from HLJ today. Should be here next week or so. Yipeee!! Quote
VF-2SS-BloodPhoenix Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 I know it was said earlier but BBTS has then for 64.99 here's the linkhttp://www.bigbadtoystore.com/subtoy2.asp?...?Queryid=mac085 I'm sure that BBTS had a pre-order price of $54.99 for the 1/48 FPs, and now they've raised it up to $64.99. That's a bit outrageous as NCS has the better deal on 1/48 FPs (only $49.00US!) and the two new VE-1/VT-1 (at $78.00US! each). NCS may not have the 1/48 FPs in stock now, but they're coming. S/H from NCS isn't too bad either, I paid about $11.00US S/H for UPS ground and I got them within 5 days (ordered Thursday, got it the following Monday). Overall I saved around $36.00US with NCS over BBTS and I got mines before BBTS got their stock in. Quote
Graham Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 It looks like the first run of FPs sold extremely well, so a second run should be coming October or November. Graham Quote

They also padded the inside of the box well too. I'm very satisfied with this purchase and will use them again for other Macross toys. Quote
Etrigan Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 I'm unfamiliar with NCS, mind providing a link? Quote

Ya it was 54.99 for preorder of the FP kits and their prices for the Super O and Elintseeker are crazy 100.00! I'll take a guess that most store got hit with higher shipping cost due to unexpected sizes of Super O and Elintseekers boxes. They're probably trying to make it up. here is the link to NCS if anyone needs it http://ncsx.com/ Quote
VALKYRIE-EXCHANGE.COM Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 Yep, the box sizes for the 1/48 FP and especially the VT-1 and VE-1 killed the dealers...Shipping costs were about 30% more than expected! Quote
bsu legato Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 Yep, the box sizes for the 1/48 FP and especially the VT-1 and VE-1 killed the dealers...Shipping costs were about 30% more than expected! Perhaps Graham could bring that up with Yamato the next time they do lunch. Did the Elint and Super O really need boxes that large? <_< Quote
Modiac Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 I should have more confirmed by the end of the week.-K Hopefully you had enough to cover preorders. Quote
rip1125 Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 Newbie here.... Just joined the 1/48 club with the VF-1A over the weekend, what a beauty . Now I need to complete the collection!! B) So I've been reading some of the posts in this thread and I've checked out the ncs link. Are they reliable and do they sell good products?? They seem to be reasonably priced. Much thanks to those in the NY area who recommended William...now you've got more competition for his inventory Quote

They seem to be reasonably priced. Much thanks to those in the NY area who recommended William...now you've got more competition for his inventory I've bought tons of things from NCS over the span of 5+ years and they are top quality service. Understand that NCS is mainly an import game shop. They don't take toys too seriously so sometimes you may get a tattered toy box, if you care about a very nice damage-free box like me then you'll have to communicate that to them so that you get a nice display piece as well. After seeing the increased prices at BBTS, NCS is the better deal for those in the U.S. Most of my toys from them arrived in very good quality with a box in okay shape, not perfect, but good enough. So order from them with confidence! Quote
UN Spacy Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 Sorry to go off topic. Did Kevin (from V.E) send out any delivery confirmations for the 1/48 FP's or 1/60 Elintseeker or SuperOstrich?!? I think he got them today.......I hope I get them by the end of the week. B) Quote
