...CDJapan, Anime-Export. What the hell Bandai?! You're the biggest player in the game.

What gives?

old tactic to make stuff look like it's popular

/toy/ says this always happens with Macross toys. You have to camp and try to make your order the moment the window opens.

>tfw you got your pre order through
You gotta be fast, anon. The orders were open for literally less than two minutes.
>>
>>14571777
are there limited numbers or what?
>>
>>14571815
Japanese collector toys are always in limited numbers. Sometimes stupidly limited. Combine that with the popularity of the dx line and you get this.

I want Messer's VF-31, but I dunno about spending $200 for it.
>>
>>14571843

But I guess I can justify getting one to support the series instead of buying the BDs
>>
>>14571843
I just want a VF-31A.

Here's hoping I get the chance to order Keiths draken.
>>
>>14571795
That's only Yamato stuff because they're a small company that can only do small runs.

>>14571815
>>14571759
Chinese scalpers snapped them up, enjoy paying triple retail on eBay/Yahoo Auctions/Rakuten.
>>
>>14571811

I got mine...lucky I guess.

But I also want Mirage and Messer's. ;_;
>>
>>14571811

What time do the orders usually go up? Midnight Japan time?

This time it was 4pm japan time. At least on amiami. The site was really fucking laggy at the time though. As you would expect with all the people trying to get their orders in. metal build astray blue frame went up on the same time so that made the traffic even worse.

To tell you the truth, I didn't even get my order in the first time because the site froze on me. But by some miracle of a chance, they opened the orders again few hours later for like 2 minutes and i just happened to be f5ing the store page out of frustration at the time. Even though it ended well for me, I do not wish to experience this emotional rollercoaster again.

Personally, I'm just hoping they finally open up the Hi-Metal line to things other than SDF/DYRL stuff. They tried VF-19's once, I don't see what's preventing them from trying the other VF's.
>>
>>14571893
>That's only Yamato stuff
From what I've heard, Yamato/Arcadia stuff actually far easier than Bandai regarding this pre-order stuff.
>>
>>14571759

I spent that much on a VF-17 Nightmare Plus. Just buy it, at least you're not buying a mook plane like me.

It fucking grew on me though, it's such a sweet fucking design. I hate the VF-31.

VF-31 hates you too you edgelord.

OP here...got one at Ami. Hella tense though...website was slow as fuck.
>>
>>14571759
allright who here collects those sexy dx chogokins? I want to grab a few to make company to that VF-31 I managed to preorder, any suggestions of what stuff to look out for? I'm open to all and any VFs
>>
>>14573666
If you ever planning to buy any VF-25, make sure it's renewal version not the first version. The early VF-25s are DX Chogokin fiasco you should stay away.
>>
>>14573666

I've got several...definitely harder to nab compared to Arcadia's stuff.

They gonna release several variants of the VF-31. SV-262 should be arriving in February or March.

>>14572338
Yeah Arcadia's been on a made-to order system for the most part. Its nice, much less of a hassle. I like their Valks better than Bandai's, even putting aside series designs. Arcadia's just have slightly more personality to them.
>>
>>14573551

yes HLJ system was overwhelmed and screwed up and sold too many they canceled some orders according to MW forums
>>
>>14571759
DX toys are limited production runs which is part of the reason they're so expensive, so there weren't gonna be that many copies for it to begin with. And Like's been said, this always happens
>>
>>14573666
I'm selling a VF-25S + Super Parts as a set anon. Are you interested?
