That would be my suggestion...I feel for ya' bro. It's really disappointing that AmiAmi isn't willing to help out like HLJ does. It's that very reason why I make ALL my Yamato purchases through HLJ. Furthermore, although their preorder prices are higher than AmiAmi, they usually charge less for shipping, which makes their prices comparable when all is said and done. It's hard to put a price tag on peace of mind.
