Still crickets from NY. They responded with my follow-up and still said they are waiting on inventory. I guess I'm just later in the list. Wow. Seems that NY didn't expect that amount of demand for GX-88. Anyone else got theirs from NY or still waiting?

I raised a query with them, and they said they were shipping it out "soon".

GX-71 & GX-88. Back to back home runs! C'mon Bandai, give us that third and last Voltron. Please bring out SOC Albegas! You missed a Voltron! But good news is you likely already have it, as Bandai has released it twice as a SOC. GX-59 Daltainius (sp?). Daltanius is Voltron "0". The Voltron that should have been. That's the show that WEP actually bought and intended to use as the "Lion Voltron". But due to a rather classic screw up of a language barrier on a late night international phone call, whereby the WEP Office staffer was asked "which one you want" by the Japanese night manager and janitor in Toei's warehouse. They replied "The One With the Lions" slowly and loudly as Americans are known to do when facing something as inconvenient as a foreign language. So the janitor said "Okee Dokee Lions it is" and dumped goLion in the box. By the time it reached WEP it was too late to get delivery on the correct show. This was back when they shipped the tapes around the world by boat. So they sat down to watch goLion and see if they could use it... And Daltanius looks quite good standing next to GX-71 and GX-88. But yeah I get what you mean. Here's hoping Bandai has an Albegas in the pipeline somewhere.

Seems that NY didn't expect that amount of demand for GX-88. Anyone else got theirs from NY or still waiting? Cancelled my NY order as my Amazon backup came through. Send in a ticket requesting cancellation, and got a reply and refund from them the next day (regardless of their no cancellation policy), after explaining my situation. NY was very nice about it, even apologized in the email. So it is pretty clear they took on too many preorders that they are having a hard time to fill them all, and waiting to get more stock.

Im in New Jersey and I ordered from 3 different places. They were all shipped when received by the sellers.
In order from quickest to slowest with total price after tax/shipping.
1. Supreme Collector BST $338: shipped 11/16, delivered 11/18 2. BBTS $366.78: arrived at BBTS 11/21, shipped 11/24, delivered 11/27 3. Entertainment Earth $362.51: shipped 11/20, delivered 11/30
All of them arrived perfect condition and the Supreme BST order even came in the Bandai shipping box. The fastest ended up being the lowest priced. Go figure.

This dude must be recognized somehow big time for how much he does and contributes for the toy community. I'm thankful he lives only north of me while in the same state.

Supreme Collector is a supreme being. Let me get this straight...so this Supreme Collector is a shop run by a supreme being, loves Taco Supreme, and playing with his Omega Supreme while listening to the Supremes in the background? That's SUPREME!

Just got it.
Heard a loud thump.
Went outside the door and the box was pretty beat up. Opened it and the product itself was just covered by a sheet of browN paper no air cushion no bubble wraps, nothing but one large stupid sheet of paper...WTF.
Amazon put way WAY more protection on tiniest memory card i bought from them came on oversized box with several air cushions... Amazon is KNOWN for over packaging! And when it is most warrented, Amazon cheese out. Dumb dumbs!
The outer sleeve has three obvious and noticeable dents. Inner box corner is damaged. I care about box almost as much as accessories and stand...lucky for Amazon.
But I will notify Amazon on be half of my bros who do care about his box.

I just got mine fron Nippon Yassan today. The packaging was outstanding. Credits to them for making sure no space was available in the box for the package to move around and get crumpled. Bubble wrap was tight all around. Got mine... technically... I just missed the postman yesterday Saturday morning... So I have to pick it up from the post. Wow. Seems that NY didn't expect that amount of demand for GX-88. Anyone else got theirs from NY or still waiting?

You may not like NY's preorder business practices on sort after items, but they always do well on shipping packaging. Japanese shops in general are very good at that. While places like Amazon US is terrible, tossing a $350 item in a box with no stuffing or even a plastic bag, as if it worth $3.50 or less.

I opened up a case with PayPal and Nippon-Yasan refunded me almost immediately. For anyone who still has a preorder with them I suggest you do the same and simply get it from the U.S. There are still a few websites like TFsource and BBTS that have it in stock and comes up to the same price or less. Ignore the warning that they (N-Y) have set up once you start the refund/claim process. It's just an attempt to scare customers.... Honestly even that is very unprofessional and even childish.

I asked NY to cancel my order and issue a refund earlier this afternoon. I’ll have better luck buying a Dairugger on eBay at this point - as absurd as it may seem to say so, I think it’ll actually be less expensive to buy from the scalpers now. I can’t begin to describe my dissatisfaction with NY’s service. I pre-ordered gx-88 almost six months ago and paid the ridiculously inflated price they were asking without question - like, $490 including shipping. I think their business practices are absolutely reprehensible. It sucks to take advantage of customers interest and to falsely inflate preorder prices relative to demand. It sucks to take advantage of customers and inflate your shipping charges to grab some extra cash. It sucks to charge in full at the moment of pre-order. It REALLY sucks not to be able to fulfill your customers’ orders, especially after having behaved so disrespectfully. Never ordering from NY again.
