I am holding out a shred of hope that Bandai might be offering Dairugger PO’s at the Tamashii Nations booth at San Diego Comic-Con next year.
But I feel like that’s just a pipe dream...

This made NY's jacked up price sounds like a good deal, good grief. And consider that NY has now gotten into the habit of bending their customers over so that they can take advantage of them, that's saying a lot. A couple of GX-88 preorders have sold on eBay for $470 and $450 shipped. I'm expecting my HLJ order to come to about $325 + EMS shipping ($40-50?). For a Macross DX valk, I'd pay the mark-up if I really wanted it, but paying this kind of money on a Voltron now, when none of the US stores have even offered it, is premature. f**k NY they really pissed me off with this bullsh*t. I preorder 80% of stuff with them and I won’t buy another thing from them till I calm down. I am not remotely concerned about getting GX-88 Bandai slapped that Voltron label on it, this will be widely available. Not only that those jerks at NY also slapped “pay later is not available” on Dairugger which is just so hilariously petty. It’s not a TWE they just straight up see a chance to screw their customers and they want the $$$$ up front. I just can’t deal with a company like that, disgusting.

Man, I’m glad I got Dairugger on pre order night from CDJapan. I paid $391 total with EMS shipping. It was a nightmare getting it though. And I missed out on Hikaru’s 1S. 🙁 I agree. I live in California and since BBTS charges tax now, I decided to go through the Japanese sites for this release.

Honestly am getting tired of this. Am trying to help and all I see are complaints for missing out when it’s right in front them. This is not the first time this is happened or the last. For years now these Japanese sites do this when ever there is a demand for figure or a statute or doll and create an artificial shortage and fear of missing out only to find at a discount on most Europe and US sites. Remember DX Combattler V? It sold out in 4 hours only to find at a discount two month after release. I am sure this figure is no deferent. Mark my word after release you will find everywhere at discount and no one will buy it until stock run out then everyone will complain that they didn’t make enough.

I'm kinda worried now ordering both a gx-71 reissue and this(4-7 days shipping for dairugger)from NY, will I even get my orders(more worried about gx-71 since that'll be longer delivery time)? It's like I'm happy I got this out of the way payment wise but now I have to worry about not losing this during delivery. When NY ships, do they have a tracking info?

I got lucky with HLJ got a VF-1s - first time I got successfully ever since they have changed there website. The prices for that one are now crazy! Good luck I hope that you can get a DX VF=1S for a decent price - paid for a 2nd one with slightly inflated price for NY just in case HLJ cancels the order, also got my Dairugger from NY - $400 USD shipped - 8K yen shipping though, yikes!

It's like I'm happy I got this out of the way payment wise but now I have to worry about not losing this during delivery. When NY ships, do they have a tracking info? Don't worry. NY is very reliable. Bought plenty from them for years and never missed any of my orders. Its their 'scalping' practice on raising price when they see high demand that folks have problems with. But for stuff like web exclusives, they are among the best to get from with minimal mark up...of course until their main initial batch ran out and jack up the price on 2nd batch if demand is very high. And yes, they email you when your order is shipped, and provide tracking, as long as you picked shipping option that has tracking with it. You can also see orders history on your account, when they took payment, when they shipped...etc.

i understand its business but this is a very low move from stores
the figure is still in the production stage, also its not a vintage so demand alone doesn't justify the increase in the price with each wave of preorders
thing is as long as there is people who will support this business method they will keep doing it
maybe just maybe Bandai will do a 2nd production run soon ? just like the GX48K ? to kill the stupid increase in price
i mean Voltron took time to reach $500 but this figure reached on the 2nd day of the preoder ? WTF lol
