Ahhh okay! Yes yes which is very true... I heard somewhere that Katoki didn't want to do the 'actual' teardrop version because the anime wasn't produced yet. I forgot if I read that on another forum or if it was my friend who told me. XD Quote

I fell victim to Yahoo Japan and FromJapan helped very well with that preparation, LOL XD Quote
Grey728 Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Damn.. FromJapan cancelled my order. =( Quote

eXis10z Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 How do you guys access P-bandai JP page? I keep getting redirected to the international page. Quote

Try a different browser. Sometimes I have to use microsoft edge, but even that was redirecting me yesterday. I think it depends with the traffic the site is receiving. Quote

Scroll down to where it says (view premium Bandai in japan) It should then direct you to the main p-bandai page. You can either see the sale page there, or just copy and paste the item link again and it will go there directly. If that does not work , you can clear your browser cookies. But the easier way is to just firefox.. or even their (in private mode Quote
eXis10z Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Yeah all my 3 browsers, edge, firefox and chrome kept redirecting me. Quote

Do you have the link to product? Paste the URL of the P-Bandai or Tamashii Web Exclusive item you want to buy into their search bar, and it'll bring it up as on the shopping service page. You'll need to paste the product name (from the webpage) into one of the fields. Quote
cookoo Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 I tried White Rabbit Epxress but it's been over an hour and still under review. I'm thinking of trying Zenmarket now. Does Zenmarket require you to add money into account before attempting to purchase for you? I don't want to add all this fund into account and they can't fulfill order later on. Anyone with experience using it? Also hows De Japan, I can't find any info on the cost of their proxy fees. Quote

If they could not get it for you, they will refund the money back to you. not sure what's with whiterabbit express today, they normally jump on preorders. same for zenmarket too. dejapan fee is somewhat mix and but still pretty cheap. it around 300 yen with 100yen to combine items, But it's recommended to pay the extra packing fee of 500 yen or Protective Packing at 1000 yen if you ever combine anything. That extra packaging will also add a bit to the shipping cost too but its recommended. Edited November 22, 2019 by F360 Quote

eXis10z Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Yeah I decided to pass on this. I don't even read the novels and have no attachment to this version. Don't want to get it for the sake of getting it. Quote

pafy6285 Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Had quite a few p-bandai orders from MyKombini and they all delivered (MB Gernsback, MB Gunbarrel , VF-31S armor) and during those times, they only require a 50% deposit. However, it seems that they are now requiring a full deposit for p-bandai items. As for Wing Snow White, as per https://www.gundamkitscollection.com/2019/11/gffmc-wing-gundam-snow-white-prelude.html , it seems that an upgraded version of it is already in the works? If that's the case, will just skip this one and get the upgraded one since I also have two of the original GFFMC Wing Zero.Aand in case I change my mind, I'm hoping that I'll still get this through YAJ once released at reasonable price, lol (in my experience if you buy early enough after release in YAJ, the price premium is not that bad).

My friends order with FJ and I think two others here on mwf had their orders for the 2nd batch cancelled last night I would say they are as reliable as N-Y to me . I consider N-Y to be reliable in case anyone is wondering , haha . MyKombini charges pretty fairly on shipping, but if needed will also request additional shipping cost if the item is bigger or heavier than expected. customer service is more forward than N-Y sound you need to ask them questions but sometimes you will not get a good answer but still better than no answer . i brought some high price items from MyKombini , mostly TWE items and metal build or macross items . All was fulfilled and delivered. But they did have a issue with the dx vf-31a . They cancelled some preorder saying they did not get all their preorder from their supplier and then reposted some back on their site at market rate . BUT I would consider that an exceptions since it’s possible that they were short some and the ones that they were reposting were from local stores that they were able to procure from. They are a proxy store after all . Quote
F360 Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) The 2nd batch is completed and closed Congrats to everyone that was able to get their preorder in. I hope everyone had a fun and exciting preorder adventure. Even if your proxy of choice weren’t able to complete your order , you will now at least know how to use a proxy for future p-Bandai preorders. . Since the 2nd batch was sold out in less than 10 hours , they will probably announce a 3rd batch soon too. Believe it or not , This is still consider a easy preorder edit: correction the 2nd batch is still up , not sure why it shown closed earlier when I checked. Edited November 22, 2019 by F360 Quote
